### 2/5 — P2w lästig

*2020-09-18*

Man merkt sehr schnell das es ums Geld geht bei diesem Spiel

### 5/5 — Try the game again if you haven’t in a while!!

*2020-06-30*

So I downloaded this when it first came out and was named something different. I just could not get into it. I recently re downloaded it and it is now one of my favorites!! Not sure what the devs did but the did something! I am not sure the original had a virtual joystick for the hero but I love it now. The rune upgrades are neat and I like how you can get stronger and beat past levels easier. I find myself playing levels over and over just for the fun of it and to find hidden chests and achievements.

If you played this before and didn’t like it, try it again!!!!!

### 4/5 — 全部都通过了，还有关卡没开放是怎么回事

*2020-02-01*

希望把剩余关卡开放

### 5/5 — 很好玩，但需要改进bug

*2020-01-06*

容易上手也很好玩的一款游戏，但是希望优化下bug，切出游戏或者偶尔误触拖动屏幕就会出现点不了防御塔建造和升级的bug特别影响游戏体验，无尽模式建议增加存档选项，毕竟幸幸苦苦玩这么久不是游戏结束了，而是手机没电了就会很尴尬…最后期待新地图的开放

### 3/5 — Okay casual game

*2019-12-13*

Interestingly, the login bonus does not go past 7 days.
