I love the idea, but it’s just too hard. I’m racking up gold here with no way to spend it on upgrades that might give me an edge. Thought maybe it’s pay to play (or survive as the case may be), but I don’t even see a way to do that. I feel like there’s some key mechanic I missed in the level 1 tutorial. ### 2/5 — Unorthodox number of Ads *2026-08-17, version 2.4.2* Can’t complete more than 2 waves without ads. Items get locked behind ads. The game becomes unplayable and it gets to a point where it’s greed, and the responses to these reviews further proves that. ### 2/5 — Ads ruined it :( *2026-08-13, version 2.4.2* Played a lot of the game and for a game that doesn’t reward you well for watching ads, it isn’t very fun to sit through a 2 minute ad for nothing. It is quite buggy and the coins are not not worth a lot other than being a big number in the top corner ### 3/5 — Minor bug report *2026-08-12, version 2.4.2* I believe the stock is bugged? It doesnt show the extra crit chance when lv 3 is achieved, also chapter 9 level 1, got the ‘get random lv3 item’ power up. it was auto turret, sprite didnt show but could place it. When proceeded the enemies didnt appear and game couldnt move forward. had to end run ### 1/5 — Unplayable without watching ads *2026-08-04, version 2.4.2* Your too weak to survive at the start so your forced to watch an ad to revive and thatd be ok but i have never played a game with ads this long, they give out so many of them and i kid you not every single one was around 5 minutes ### 1/5 — Forces ads *2026-08-03, version 2.4.2* Title ### 1/5 — Horrendous amount of ads. *2026-08-03, version 2.4.2* Whenever the game gives you the option to increase your rewards or unlock a part by watching an ad, 75% of the time it will play an ad even if you press “No Thanks”. Absolutely turned me off immediately and no one should play this game till thats fixed. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t even touch *2026-08-02, version 2.4.2* Greedy, terrible game that you can’t get past the first wave with after the tutorial. Just wants you to watch ads and pay money ### 2/5 — Let down *2026-08-01, version 2.4.2* Started out as a decent game. Yeah like others said there are a lot of adds but what bothers me the most is that after you play to a point the whole game is gambling and requires buying of gems to play to get through the lvl at that point I’m done not worth my money sorry not sorry ### 1/5 — Do not download *2026-07-31, version 2.4.2* The beginning is impossible to pass, and I tried all day. It did not scale to your level, so you die after 4 hits. ### 1/5 — Cant win without watching adds *2026-07-28, version 2.4.2* U simply can NOT win without watching ads and NOT attaching top tier attachments. Waste of time imo ### 1/5 — Not recommend *2026-07-27, version 2.4.2* I played for an hour. At least 20mins for ads. There is a high chance of an advertisement popping up because you need to upgrade your gun. Also, freaking gunshots need to be cleared by watching ads!. Fking time waster! game. ### 3/5 — Fun, but bugs. *2026-07-26, version 2.4.2* This game is a lot of fun. However, I have noticed that it often bugs out after watching ads for rewards. This is of course very infuriating - sometimes after watching an ad the game completely freezes and I loose my rewards. ### 2/5 — Don’t get *2026-07-26, version 2.4.2* For the first part it was okay but had a lot of adds. After a bit it made u pay to win or watch outrageous amounts of adds if u don’t mind then this game is for u. ### 1/5 — Ad driven and poor mechanics *2026-07-26, version 2.4.2* This game forces you to consume ads, progression is inherently encouraging you to utilize ads. There’s an ad when you pretty much do anything in this game, and they encourage you to watch ones to get rewards. Then, the targeting is incredibly frustrating as the cat will literally get one enemy to low health, and then start shooting a different enemy, effectively taking more damage for no reason. tldr: avoid because of copious ads and poor mechanics ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-15, version 2.4.2* Paid to remove ads and still get ads every level, feel like I’ve been completely scammed ### 1/5 — Nothing but Ads *2026-08-12, version 2.4.2* Good lord… this game might be cool if it wasn’t absolutely overrun with ads. Every 5 seconds - ad ad ad ad… and they’re like 2 minutes long. It’s infuriating and makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-11, version 2.4.2* HOT GARBAGE…DUMPSTER JUICE! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-08-10, version 2.4.2* The gameplay is as advertised however the second you beat the 1st level in order to choose specific parts or reroll you need to watch an ad for each part do not download waste of time ### 1/5 — Just bad *2026-08-10, version 2.4.2* Poor unbalanced gameplay. And ads beyond what could be considered reasonable for any game. 90% ad 9% bad 1% game ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-08, version 2.4.2* Ads every 3 minutes. It’s unplayable ### 1/5 — Could be great *2026-08-07, version 2.4.2* The concept and bones of the game is great. However, this is off set by the abhorrent amount of adds and the glitches that can ruin runs and or just make them a pain. Gold has almost no use anymore so it just collects. Armor stops at purple with no way to use what piles up and its very easy to get to that point. It doesnt feel finished. ### 1/5 — Invasive Ads *2026-08-07, version 2.4.2* the ads in the game are constantly popped up and glitches out the audio that has to be fixed via restarting the game entirely. gameplay-wise, its repetitive and filled with annoying enemies that can critically damage you, has the added annoyance of causing certain spots to become unavailable, MAKING YOU WATCH AN AD TO REMOVE IT BTW. this shouldn’t be called a game at all. ### 1/5 — False purchases advertised *2026-08-06, version 2.4.2* So I bought the “no advertising” pack. It only cuts out a small proportion of adds. 90% of the game still needs you to watch videos to progress the game. This is blatant false advertising and a rip off. Still waiting for my money back. ### 1/5 — Ads city *2026-08-05, version 2.4.2* Way too many forced ad. Trash dev. Not a bad concept for a game tho. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game of the year *2026-08-09, version 2.4.2* good game love merging stuff no Internet needed ### 5/5 — Its good offline game gays *2026-08-08, version 2.4.2* Its good offline game gays ### 5/5 — SO FUN *2026-08-06, version 2.4.2* this game is so addicting and fun, i recommend ### 5/5 — Exactly what you think it is *2026-08-02, version 2.4.2* Fun game plays as expected ### 5/5 — I don’t know *2026-07-31, version 2.4.2* Good game ### 5/5 — Battle Cats *2026-07-12, version 2.4.2* free cat food ### 5/5 — 67 *2026-07-05, version 2.4.2* This game is very simple and VERY fun, i saw a random ad while doomscrolling and it looked decent enough so i decided to try it and it was alr ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-19, version 2.4.2* All this haters complaining that you are doing ads, like you are working for free pfff I wonder if you guys planning to make it online? Guilds? Rank? Tournament? Thanks! Bought a few things to make sure you guys keep the good work🤘🏻😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-17, version 2.4.2* I love this game it’s good to cure you when your bored i recommend it to people who go on car rides à lot ### 5/5 — Great game (partially) *2026-06-12* The game is honestly fun haven’t gotten any ads so far but whenever I move on to the second part of chapter 1 I’m stuck all the coins I have are useless when I keep failing before wave 15 and the stuff I get to attempt to beat it is lackluster so I’m stuck constantly dieing and the only way to actually continue is to either watch a ad(unavailable for me ) or p2w which I can’t do so I’m stuck constantly dieing before wave 10 on part 2 of chapter 1 nonstop please make it easier or when you lose you still get parts to upgrade your cards and get stronger and beat it after a few fails could also have a different acquiring gear for your gun during campaign like you get 3 free items to work with to merge and add --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
