However the permanent $40 vip should realistically have everything the other 2 vip passes have.. hopefully that’ll change in the future. Would be 5 stars if permanent vip covered everything. ### 3/5 — Overheating and Abrupt Stops *2026-08-09, version 1.5.9* Despite your game crashing abruptly during ranked trials, I still topped the charts. Please fix the sudden crashes. ### 2/5 — Am sad but before it would be a five stars instead *2026-08-06, version 1.5.9* So such a fun game I love everything about it I used to play it everyday but one single problem happened one day I joined and for some reason it say pls leave and I tried everything deleting updating and everything I really miss this game but don’t worry I still kept the game on my iPad for one of the best moments ever thank you😍🙂😊😢😭 ### 3/5 — Stürzt ab … *2026-08-03* … meistens nach der Schlacht, Aber auch während dessen. Bin jetzt Welle 28. Unspielbar. An manchen Stellen kann ich Figuren nicht mehr bewegen. **Developer response:** Hi, we’re sorry about the issue. Please switch to a stable connection and restart the game or device. If loading or login issues continue, send your player ID, error screen, time, device model, OS and game version to service@mobibrain.net. ### 2/5 — Ads on the field of play *2026-08-03, version 1.5.9* Ads cover gameplay elements and can’t be moved, so they actively impede your options for placing gears. Worse is they can easily be accidentally clicked while trying to place gears, launching an unskippable ad mid-game. Restart the app and you lose your progress and energy spent to play that round. Very poor and malicious design. ### 3/5 — Okay *2026-07-29, version 1.5.8* Non stop ads and never ending tutorial. All said. ### 2/5 — frequent crashes on rank battles *2026-07-26, version 1.5.8* it crashes every 2mins while playing ranking even on idle. also the game cheats big time, the upgrades never show up regardless amounts of rerolls. that's just cheap ### 3/5 — Rigged to make you spend money *2026-07-25, version 1.5.8* The game is very fun and enjoyable but very obviously rigged to force you to spend money to keep moving forward. The level has a suggest Unit Power of 95,000 and my unit power is 712,000, more than 7x the suggested power, yet my units can barely make a dent on the boss. This is absurd and needs to be addressed. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2026-07-20* Перестала запускаться. Чёрный экран и всё… **Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us via email to describe your issues in detail? We'll really appreciate it if you can give us your feedback. We are worried and want to help you asap. ※Official Email: service@mobibrain.net ### 5/5 — About the game *2026-07-18, version 1.5.7* The game is so fun, relaxing, and you can get a lot of troops ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-23, version 1.5.11* Boring ### 1/5 — Just because *2026-08-16, version 1.5.10* You get a one star!! Inquire within to see how to grow. ### 1/5 — Basics all ads *2026-08-15, version 1.5.10* One ad after the other ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-05, version 1.5.9* Don't get me wrong, this is a fun game, but I find myself rage quitting after just a few ads. The ads they serve are very long (1 - 2 minutes each) and the game is built in a way where you are required to watch ads to beat most levels and get upgrade items. If you can't sit through 30+ ads to progress just a tiny bit each day, this game is not for you. ### 1/5 — No thanks *2026-07-29, version 1.5.8* Why do you make me watch this whole add of failure… get off my screen unless your actually going to entertain me please ### 1/5 — Está com bug *2026-07-26* Fica saindo do jogo bem na hora que vou assistir propaganda o jogo quita sozinho tendo que ligar de novo **Developer response:** Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience. This issue will be fixed in the future. Please pay attention to the version update! ### 1/5 — App crashes *2026-07-24, version 1.5.7* Game keeps crashing while playing ranked trials ### 1/5 — Вылеты *2026-07-24* Постоянно вылетает! Наград нет, все ужасно! Удаляю и оценка 1 **Developer response:** Вам очень жалеем, что вы столкнулись с частыми вылетами и не получили награды. Пожалуйста, отправьте нам ваш ID игрока, время возникновения ошибки и скриншот на почту service@mobibrain.net. Мы передадим проблему разработчикам для исправления. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-20, version 1.5.7* Once you close the game and than start it back up and push start game it don’t start. You have to delete the game and reinstall it for the game to start for a simple game like this to have a bug like this shows the skill problem developers have ### 1/5 — CUIDADO !

I am working on the schedule right now ### 5/5 — It’s very fun and highly addictive *2026-08-20, version 1.5.10* Like the title suggests this game is really fun and addictive, and the best part? It’s not pay to play, and the game is free to download. The only problem I have with the game is that it requires internet connection and it’s not a good game to play if you’re going on international trips. Other than that it’s a Game ### 5/5 — Gears,Gears&more Gears!! *2026-08-14, version 1.5.10* Love this game!! ### 5/5 — 꿀잼이네요 *2026-08-02* 시간 떼우기 딱 좋네요. 광고시간 반으로 줄여주었으면 합니다. **Developer response:** Hi, we’re thrilled to hear you love our game!

It will help you be a lot more successful in battle. ### 5/5 — Used to love it *2026-07-23, version 1.5.7* At around level 55 the final wave had become too OP and all the fun stopped Probably some sort of pay wall I’ve watched too many ads to pay them as well Unfortunately, I’ve pretty much stopped playing daily I suppose they don’t need the revenue --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
