### 4/5 — Fun to Play, but Too Late to Try!

*2024-01-17*

Was a great game for the short time I tried it. However, realized that they’ve decided to discontinue it altogether. Wouldn’t be worth jumping on only for it to be deleted in less than a month. Was great though, so we’ll see if developers create something like it in the future!

### 2/5 — Lost my progress again

*2023-10-20*

Love the game and have put a lot of time into my account but for no reason at all I lost all my progress linked to my Facebook account again.  Is there any help I can get recovering my account, if not I gotta move on.  Don’t want to start all over again….

**Developer response:** Please contact customer service within the game to communicate the specific situation.

### 2/5 — Dumb update

*2023-07-30*

The new update is stupid. By requiring gold to level up monsters there isn’t enough gold available. So rather than playing to improve my monsters I have to put the game down because the progress is limited. Fix this and I’ll change my rating. It used to be a very fun game

### 1/5 — 这游戏你们自己测试过么？

*2023-07-11*

教学关卡，第一波怪，也不告诉我要放多少个塔，上来就漏怪打不死。教学合成塔，指引的塔都是错的，这就上线想骗钱？

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2023-07-04*

It won’t let me accept terms evens after scrolling to the end multiple times and uninstalling/reinstalling the app

**Developer response:** Please check to agree to the agreement before entering the game, we will optimize the relevant interactive experience.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2023-06-20*

This game is very very good I only have one complaint, and it’s about the organization of the city screen but other than that the game is very good and I’ll be trying to get every monstroids

### 4/5 — Like the game but

*2023-06-08*

I really like the game, but i have an issue with maps loading. I keep getting a magenta/pink screen when loading maps.

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2023-06-07*

Loading screen froze on buffering and I also load into a map with a pink screen, but other than that it’s a great game and please put my free stuff to collect.

### 4/5 — Good F2P, hard wall 4 me

*2023-05-18*

This game is fun and I enjoyed many months of playing…but I’ve been stuck at a very hard wall for over 45 days.  I’ve finally lost interest in further progression as a free to play player. I don’t know why I can’t progress. My main team is maxed as far as possible in every dimension and for whatever reason I cannot get past this one story level.  No matter which characters I chose or deployment strategy…I always lose right at the end. It really feels like the game is purposefully keeping me from advancing past this stage, because the numbers don’t add up.  I got tired of grinding and logging in everyday to see no progress. Despite my issue, I’d say this is a worthwhile game if you’re F2P, and I hope you have better luck than me. It’s better than most of the gacha games out there.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-05-16*

The game is good but i have been charged twice $4.26 at midnight. And i have not purchased anything, the game is taking money from me, i need a solution.
