Love the way you dig your own path and how that is part of the strategy. Tower upgrade system is engaging without being overly complicated. Art style is just right. I’m not a fan of the final enemies who start destroying your towers towards the end of the game. It’s so brutal because you have to invest a lot into your best towers and it even destroys the power orb if they had one. I would play the “endless” more if there wasn’t this mechanic but it makes it not worth it and virtually eliminates any replayability ### 4/5 — Great Game! A few glitches… *2025-12-11, version 1.5.3* I love this game! It’s the most enjoyable tower defense game I’ve ever played by far. But every now and then the game completely freezes and I can’t do anything - not even close the app. My phone won’t lock the screen for several seconds, and I have to completely restart a level. It’s not frequent, but enough to be quite frustrating. Other than that it’s a perfect game. ### 5/5 — Childhood game *2025-09-20, version 1.5.2* I played the original back in high school . I delete and install this game every few months. I love it ### 5/5 — A genuine 5/5 mobile game *2025-07-14, version 1.5.1* Excellent gameplay, fun upgrade mechanics, meaningful challenge and most of all the ADs are not annoying! ### 5/5 — Fun TD Game *2025-07-05, version 1.5.1* I’ve only played the first few levels, but so far loving the game. No intrusive ads, just a banner ad down at the bottom of the screen out of the way. The gameplay and upgrades so far are engaging. I also like the new twist it puts on tower defense by letting you build out the enemy’s path as you progress through each wave. It gives each wave a custom feel to it, like the player has some control and agency of how each next wave can be prepared for. ### 5/5 — Werbung *2025-06-23* Die Werbung sollte man schon entfernen, das Geld war es mir aber absolut wert. ### 5/5 — 👇👁️👄👁️👇 *2025-06-18, version 1.5.1* 👌👁️👄👁️🤌 ### 5/5 — Mega *2025-06-01* Ein entspanntes und übersichtliches TD-Game. Keine InGame Käufe nötig weil ordentlich und fair balanced. Vielen Dank dafür! ### 5/5 — So fun *2025-05-28, version 1.5.1* Great game, no pop up ads, if you like tower defence games you’ll love this one ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2025-05-25* Macht richtig Spaß ### 5/5 — App top *2025-05-11* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Tons of fun *2025-04-25, version 1.5.1* Has been keeping my attention for weeks now to play before I go to bed. ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2025-04-20, version 1.5.1* This is one of the best games I’ve played on my iPad. I’m no stranger to tower defence type games but this one nails it perfectly. Really fun and challenging. Well done devs. Tip to devs. Release more levels to buy rather than the diamonds and towers. I have no interest in buying diamonds, sheep or anything else… but levels? Sure to support you. ### 5/5 — Greta Game! *2025-04-08, version 1.5.1* Great! ### 5/5 — Fair play and fair ads *2025-03-19, version 1.5.0* Not egregious, doesn’t force you ### 5/5 — Tower Defense in Perfektion *2025-02-26* Merkwürdiger Titel, hässliches Icon, grandioses Spiel. Viel zu oft ist es genau umgekehrt. Es ist ganz sicher schwierig dem Genre überraschende Neuerungen zu entlocken und dieses Kunststück gelingt auch Digfender nicht wirklich. Dafür ist das was geboten wird liebevoll und klug inszeniert. Lobend erwähnt werden darf zudem, dass das F2P-Modell sehr fair funktioniert. ### 5/5 — LOVED IT *2025-01-27* Excellent game! The game lets you carve out your own enemy route, this game mechanic adds a fun twist to the how the game is played. LOVED IT 10/10 ### 4/5 — Worth it *2024-12-12, version 1.5.0* Gave it a shot,so far.. don’t regret it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Destroying Tower Enemies *2023-01-26, version 1.4.6* Loved the game up until these enemies. It’s a terrible mechanic that just needs to go. ### 1/5 — You have to pay to win *2022-03-23, version 1.4.6* It was fun for a while until I realized that it’s absolutely no chance in winning unless you pay for extra cash to upgrade your weapons. It’s an excellent game but a scam so one star for that. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-12-30, version 1.4.6* I don’t mind in app purchases but I won’t put up with advertisements on the screen while you play. Accidentally hitting the add all the time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t fit screen *2021-07-03, version 1.4.0* Does not fit iPhone XS screen, parts are cut off at the top so u can’t see how much each resource you have ### 1/5 — Juhu o uh *2017-07-06* Dieses Spiel ist ein Mist Hubhubojo h ### 2/5 — So frustrating *2021-10-09, version 1.4.6* Great game, really enjoyable…until this morning, when I logged on and it had forgotten all my progress of the last few days. No obvious way to restore all the stars and skulls and I don’t have the heart to re-earn them all again. A pity because the game itself is excellent. ### 3/5 — 1000th review for this game (2.5/5) *2026-08-14, version 1.5.6* For years what has stopped me is the pay-to-win design, and I never get through the first chapter. Unless you were born rich to keep buying diamonds to unlock the treasure chests (full of resources) each round, you’re going to have really rough times. Or, like I recently did, buy the no ads/x2 diamonds deal and still have to watch a ton of ads before each round to be able to afford the needed chests. Digfender’s best feature is you can play with one hand on your mini or smaller older iPhone. Once again I will give it a rest once tedium sets in… EWAI OUT ### 3/5 — Very slow *2025-05-29, version 1.5.1* Overall pretty decent but the pace is one meant for falling asleep with your phone in hand. ### 3/5 — Digfender *2024-11-30, version 1.5.0* Love it but really hard when not paying for extra help ### 3/5 — Great TD except survival mode *2024-01-11, version 1.4.9* I love this game. They have done an amazing job with it. How you can choose your own pathing and making levels replayable with getting the map. I like the upgrading system. And would totally give 5 stars expect for the survival mode having mobs that destroy my towers. There is no way to defend against them and they will often destroy multiple max upgraded towers. I just don’t understand this mechanic. Please change so I can actually enjoy end game survival. If you must make multiple survival modes and one without these tower destroying mobs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2026-08-24, version 1.5.6* Can’t wait for more of this or more from the developer. Loved it and played through too fast now I’m out besides endless mode. ### 5/5 — The *2026-08-13, version 1.5.5* Kill time ### 5/5 — Great offline game! *2026-08-10, version 1.5.5* More expansion is welcomed! ### 5/5 — My favorite tower defense *2026-07-21, version 1.5.5* Just very well done, the towers make strategic sense, ads are minimum, no need to spend money in order to win. One of the best mobile games out there ### 5/5 — Great game. *2026-03-16, version 1.5.5* Simple, thoughtful, fun. ### 5/5 — Good game, great music, no disruptive ads *2026-01-12, version 1.5.3* See title ### 5/5 — Really good game *2025-11-29, version 1.5.3* Building your own map is a really fun way to play these types of games, and not having to watch ads every few minutes is refreshing. Over all this is a great option if you’re into tower defense games. ### 5/5 — Cooles Spiel *2025-10-31* Super gutes Spiel. Habe es schon öfter durchgespielt. Macht immer wieder Laune. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2025-10-10, version 1.5.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Fire🔥🔥 *2025-10-10, version 1.5.3* Wish there were more levels --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
