### 5/5 — Good TD, not deterministic

*2017-06-09*

It's a fun game but sometimes the exact confirmation (name tower placement) does not produce identical outcomes.  Great game nonetheless.

### 5/5 — War 3 is back!

*2016-10-22*

It's a great game since Warcraft and it's so good to have it wherever I want to play!

### 5/5 — GREAT TD

*2016-10-18*

Great tower defense game with lots of different towers to choose from.

### 5/5 — Great mobile version

*2016-09-25*

If you are familiar with the Dota2 or War3 versions, you wont be disappointed by this one.

### 4/5 — Great tower defense game

*2016-09-10*

While a large variety of towers makes gameplay interesting it can also a little overwhelming at times

### 1/5 — Unable to play

*2021-07-04*

The app starts but the PLAY button doesn’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2019-07-17*

Its pretty lame. So many solid TD games iut there - don't waste your hard earn $1

### 2/5 — Text cut off

*2022-03-14*

Some of the tower descriptions are cut off by the edge of the screen during the match on iPad Pro , I’m disappointed , seemed like a fun game

### 3/5 — Really cool, needs endless though.

*2018-07-24*

This reminds me a little bit of early TD games that focus more on towers and challenge than flair or campaigns. I like that as it provides a classic challenge. Problem is, no endless. What the? Why no endless? How is that not automatic? 
The towers and various combinations are vast. That's where the real strength of this game comes from. Unfortunately, the 55th wave comes and goes before it ever really gets serious. The single mana point awarded every 5 waves is insufficient for ever getting to the highest upgrade paths possible completely. 
Kind of a downer at that point. But there's definitely plenty of challenge up until the 55th end wave. For the money it's worth the price, but I really expect an endless mode to come.

Also in response to the developer, wave 56 and beyond can hardly be considered endless in the traditional sense of the genre. You no longer earn anything for those kills made from wave 56 onward. That’s not endless. That’s a very limited continuation that has a very finite future. “Endless” is widely considered to include making earnings from all kills as waves become increasingly difficult. This pushes one further to keep up while exploring more tower levels and combinations. The so called endless as is in this game falls on its face within a few waves from 56 on. Not fun. Would be really great to make a true endless mode.

**Developer response:** There is an endless wave. Simply play "Classic" game type. Wave 56 and beyond are endless.

### 3/5 — Incomplete

*2017-06-22*

Lot of features are not the same than on the original game... No 75 life limit, no 3 elements lvl 3 tower...
The selection method is really not precise. We should be able to scroll the map more to improve it.
Way to go through.

### 3/5 — Bugs :/

*2017-05-20*

An sich ein echt gutes TD Game. Mach auch echt Spaß aber es gibt noch relativ viele Bugs und die Touch Steuerung ist ziemlich ungenau. Wenn sich dies bessert gibts auch mehr Sterne. :)

### 3/5 — Last Patch made ist less "original"

*2016-08-31*

I personally am not a fan of the latest changes like removing the pure essence. This completely changes the gameplay and makes the game less interesting for me. 

Further there is no further information (in the forum) why this tweak was done. 

Might get a higher rating if changed back to the original game play. 

In addition, i do not understand how the global best list is working. my local values are within the global range, but do not show up. Even not the latest ones.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you did not like the removal of pure essence. We did that to simplify the mechanics and also to rectify balance issues. As for the leaderboard, you have to be on the current app version to register.

### 4/5 — Do not get on iPad Pro

*2022-01-27*

All the text is off the screen on the iPad Pro and you can’t see what anything does. Otherwise this could’ve been a five-star game I think.

### 4/5 — Норм

*2022-01-22*

Спасибо, но не то. Много механик упростили - апгрейды неэлементных башен, покупка интереста за элементы, ультимативные башни. Когда все добавят, будет 5 звезд

### 4/5 — If you like tower defense games...

*2020-03-03*

Then you might like this one which has an elemental theme. Tutorial was decent, however, there a lot of depth to the game. I like that you can speed things up, and that you can select different locations such as a lava or ice area.

I’ve only played it a little while but it has the potential to be strategic and fun. PS it doesn’t add anything new to the genre. There’s room for improvement as well. Not bad overall.

### 5/5 — 한글 패치좀

*2025-03-27*

재미있는데 한글지원좀요

### 5/5 — ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ДОБАВЬТЕ РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК

*2021-12-04*

!!!пожалуйста!!!пожалуйста!!!

### 5/5 — Language

*2021-05-24*

Need translation language ru

### 5/5 — 🤫 funktioniert einwandfrei 👍

*2021-01-13*

Einparken neue Modes wären cool oder ein Multiplayer 😬

### 5/5 — Это классика жанра!

*2020-09-30*

Отличная игра, думаю единственная нормальная тд перенесённая с компьютера на смартфон. Вот ещё перенесли бы сюда green td и green circle td то вообще круто было бы)) спасибо разработчикам и за игру и за хорошую цену.

### 5/5 — Не стареющая класЕка😎

*2020-03-25*

Не играю в телефонные игры, но ради Элемента сменил привычку. Ностальгия пробирает, все так как в 3 Варкрафте, только на другом движке. Что касается сложностей и интереса - если любишь тд, то елемент точно тебе подойдёт)

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2020-02-22*

Otimo jogo pra quem gosta de dota

### 5/5 — Pretty good port of a WC3 classic

*2018-11-18*

It’s a port/remake some nothing’s gonna be perfect but its a pretty good version.

### 5/5 — Karawasa's a genius

*2018-06-20*

Been playing this since WarCraft 3, to SC2 and DotA 2. Each version is better than the last.

**Developer response:** I'm honored by your dedication. You'll want to know that we've started development of Element TD 2 for PC. It's going to be 3D and multiplayer. Let's hope that I can keep the streak going!

### 5/5 — A great time killer. Especially at work :)

*2017-06-23*

This is almost exactly like the warcraft3 one which is great because i always loved that map and this app is no different.  My only complaint is that the towers and minions dont seem to be animated, other than that this is a great td!
