### 5/5 — nice

*2026-06-30, version 1.5.2*

Been playing for years on and off. There are a few strategies in the game where you literally can’t lose which makes it easy to get gold relatively fast. The base game is amazing and I always come back every couple years or so. You do that for about 10 years and you feel obligated to write a good review.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-02-19, version 1.5.2*

I loveeeeeeeeee ittttttttttt

### 2/5 — It kinda got boring.

*2023-08-27, version 1.5.2*

As the game went on, it kinda got boring towards the second level. The game sends to many soldiers to comprehend It gets way to hard and it is just not worth the hassle.

### 5/5 — It’s perfect

*2023-06-16, version 1.5.2*

It’s a perfect game…
ADD sandbox pls

### 5/5 — please add sandbox

*2022-05-14, version 1.5.2*

hello dev’s, i like your game but dearly want sandbox mode (infinite coins or infinite everything)  so we can test and make big fortresses, big army’s without restrictions on coin or troop capacity, if you see this please add it, have a good day.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2021-07-27, version 1.5.2*

I love the game but can you make it less hard that would be great.

### 1/5 — The first part was good but later on.....

*2021-04-08, version 1.5.2*

The start was great fighting off hordes of enemies and getting tactics level master every time. But then later on it became less and less engaging and I used less and less complex strategies because a they were easy and still won and b it was getting boring. After I completed the game I hoped that crusader and glory mode would bring something new to the table and maybe add new traps soldiers and fortifications maybe even a cool mode where you were attacking them! Sadly to my dismay they were not. They were practically excuses to put more levels in the game and were more boring than ever. Please turn this game around because I did in fact enjoy it for part of it

### 5/5 — Excellent but

*2021-03-15, version 1.5.2*

This is an excellent game and I would recommend it for anyone but I wish there was a sandbox mode where you have all the buildings,fortresses and units and you can place anywhere and place enemy units and your units and you can like switch sides so the blues/you will invade the enemies castle but overall excellent game.

### 5/5 — UNDERRATED NEEDS ADDING

*2020-09-08, version 1.5.2*

this game is amazing but I have some suggestions so first i would like you to add an endless mode and a co-op mode as well as a farming tower and also a sandbox mode and u can legit control a unit possible and I forgot the rest so I will make another review when I've remembered but please add a co-op mode that is the one I want most

### 3/5 — Amazing game

*2020-08-10, version 1.5.2*

Love it keep up the hard work plz
