It’s missing an upgrade, the upgrade that I’m thinking about is this. So they need to make it so that you can get more than one turret, and so that you can shoot more than three bullets. ### 3/5 — Pretty ok *2019-08-06, version 1.4* Ok so this game can be pretty ok, but the only thing that the developer should put it have more guns in the wall fortress. I also like this game to have a watch video for free coins. It can be pretty bad otherwise but this game is pretty good. Also, i would like the game to have more areas, like desert, forest and snow alps. ### 4/5 — 1 *2019-06-18, version 1.4* Сделайте пожалуйста время действия защиты и заморозки , то не очень удобно. Не знаешь когда закончится действие щита и приходится постоянно его обновлять. ### 2/5 — Glitches *2016-12-27, version 1.3.5* The game is ok, easy to make money and good replay ability for a simple game. On my iPhone 6, however, it has glitches. Sometimes I shoot a continuous laser and sometimes the enemies do too. My wall is destroyed in a second when this happens. Sometimes the enemies suddenly jump to the front of the line and are shooting, and sometimes the game crashes. It gets frustrating because it can happen a lot. ### 3/5 — Good until the glitch *2016-11-19, version 1.3.5* Fun game until you start reaching higher lows in the glitches cause the tanks to jump to the front and shoot lasers at the wall! Even at full health when the glitch happens you're dead within two seconds ### 3/5 — Its a good game *2014-05-17* I found it quite fun but i will be expecting updates. I guess it gets a bit boring just shooting tanks, so yeah... Updates please ### 4/5 — Хорошо *2013-09-15, version 1.2.2* Только реклама немного раздражает ### 5/5 — Best defense *2013-09-03, version 1.2.2* I have to much fun with this game. I spend more time on this game then ifunny ### 5/5 — Defence battle *2013-08-24, version 1.2.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — Все отлично *2013-08-19, version 1.2* Все отлично ## Frequently asked questions about Defense Battle ### What is Defense Battle?
