### 3/5 — Nice!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

*2025-12-17*

Fun easy and a good time killer! 5 stars for sure! BUUUUUT, the hit boxes for everything is off by a little bit, most of the time I try to tap on one thing and it’s the other, not just most of the time but every single time I try! Also almost every time/1st time I kill the rounds last/big boss it crashes then I have to go through all 10 again/ but this time being he 2nd time it goes through. Very irritating to say the least! But it is a easy fun good time killer like I said b4. And it’s most likely not going to be addressed at all. Anyways Try It Out!!

### 2/5 — Buggy beyond belief

*2021-10-07, version 3.1.7*

This game would be great, IF it wasn’t so bugged out. At some point you can’t even upgrade your hero or building without having to close and re open

### 1/5 — Way too buggy

*2020-12-04, version 3.1.7*

Can’t even get past the tutorial. Gets stuck on hold to attack prompt, and won’t actually let you hold or attack or anything. 0/5, waste of time.

### 1/5 — Tutorial trouble

*2020-11-26, version 3.1.7*

Hey I can’t get past the tutorial, what’s up?

### 1/5 — Game broke

*2020-05-14, version 3.1.7*

Can’t even do the first instruction. I’m using the iPhone XR and when it says hold to attack it doesn’t work where ever I press or hold

### 1/5 — I can’t even get through the tutorial

*2020-05-13, version 3.1.7*

I’m not sure what’s going on but it says to push the hold button and I’m unable to. I reinstalled the game and the same issue happened. I don’t write reviews often, but a lot of the others are also saying it has its bugs. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to playing it.

### 1/5 — Truly..., a disappointment

*2020-05-10*

I love fantasy games. I love castle defense. And I loved the images of the various creatures this game claimed to carry. But, I couldn’t even get passed the tutorial. For it was far too glitchy. I clicked hold. I really did.  Ans nothing happened. Until I was taken to a load screen that never loaded. In short, this game is unplayable until this is fixed.

### 1/5 — It’s bad

*2020-05-04, version 3.1.7*

I can’t press the attack button also the castle and the characters are all floating also it’s slow and glitchy.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-04-27, version 3.1.7*

The game just doesn’t work. Can’t even start it because the castle and characters are floating in the air. Even better, the game locks up asking me to hold the button. Can’t use it at all!

### 3/5 — Ads don’t work

*2020-03-13*

Hello whoever is reading this I recently download this game about 5 days ago and I would say this is a good game I would recommend it but there is only two issues 
First of all the ads don’t work and I say this because when I tried to double my reward it sent me to the ad but the it didn’t start sooo I tried clicking and still didn’t work then when I tried logging back in the game the wave restarted back to wave one the round number is the same but the wave resets I just wanted to point that out because it might happen to you but overall I would rate this a five star because it a good game but if you made it this far thank you for reading my review 
😁😁

### 1/5 — Only one!

*2020-01-24, version 3.1.7*

You can finish in 10 sec，but always take 3mins
each wave need 4min. 10wave need 40mins. Do not download.

### 1/5 — Tutorials

*2020-01-14, version 3.1.7*

I can’t get past the hold button part in the tutorial because of what ever reason and the game looks fun I would like to play it.

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2019-12-24, version 3.1.7*

App doesn’t launch, I get a black screen for a fraction of a second and I go back to the home screen

### 1/5 — Can’t even open the game

*2019-11-25, version 3.1.7*

I had tons of time on this. Sad to see that it doesn’t even open anymore.

### 1/5 — App closes

*2019-11-02, version 3.1.7*

Whenever I try to open it closes right away on iPhone

### 2/5 — More fun than other tap adventure games

*2019-10-18*

I like how you have to build up auto attack. I don't like when the attacks on these types of games are completely auto and the only action you need to do is buy upgrades. This game looks good and is fun

Update: doesn’t work on my new iPhone 10xr. Says to hold to attack, but doesn’t do anything. Makes me sad, I loved this game

### 1/5 — Crash all’avvio

*2019-10-12*

Su iPhone X nemmeno si avvia...

### 1/5 — Tut mir leid

*2019-10-09*

Leider musste ich das spiel so schlecht bewerten, da ich bis jetzt noch gar nicht spielen konnte weil es beim starten dauerhaft abstürzt und ich somit die Qualität des Spiels noch gar nicht bewerten kann

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2025-09-30, version 3.1.7*

Read the reviews lol

### 1/5 — Has a glitch

*2023-10-09, version 3.1.7*

I open the game and found out that the hold to attack and settings are impossible to click and it takes me like 15 tries to click any other button.

### 1/5 — Зависание

*2023-01-31*

Игра зависает на первой же волне! Почините, нельзя нажать на кнопку hold!!

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2021-10-27, version 3.1.7*

Everything is out of place so the game don’t work. I can hold button and auto but it don’t hit a soul. Also get hit but don’t die. What a waste of time

### 1/5 — Iphone xr

*2021-09-13*

Нельзя пройти обучение , не реагирует кнопка атаки

### 1/5 — But

*2021-07-13, version 3.1.7*

At the very start of the game, it’s bugged and you can’t even get through it, like at all. Used to play this game back then and I am revisiting but now the tutorial is bugged and you can’t get through it.

### 1/5 — Can't tap anything in tutorial.

*2021-04-05*

What the title says. Don't see how I am supposed to get through the game if I am bugged out right at the very start. Have reinstalled, retried tutorial with no tutorial prompts, reinstalled, rinse and repeat a few times. Tutorial is bugged and broken. Only thing I can tap on is the leaderboards icon, but I must literally tap the settings icon to view leaderboards. What a mess there is with the hitboxes.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2021-04-04, version 3.1.7*

Doesn’t even let me play the game

### 1/5 — Tutorial Problem

*2021-03-17*

Seems like it will be a decent game, but I can’t get past the first few seconds of tutorial. It won’t let me hold down the button to attack. It just point to the button as if I am supposed to press and hold it but it doesn’t let me press and I’ve pressed everywhere else on the screen and the notifications won’t go away or go forward with explaining anything else. It essentially freezes 5 seconds into the game, at least for me.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2021-01-17, version 3.1.7*

I downloaded and could not even start the tutorial, once it starts it tells you to push down the button to attack the enemy and I try to press down the button and I get no response. 

Hope this gets fixed cuz it seems like a fun game...

*2021-01-21, version 3.1.7*

I found this game after a long time of searching and I love it is one of the first mobile games I played

### 5/5 — Не заходит в игру

*2019-10-14*

### 5/5 — Gavin gibs

*2019-09-18, version 3.1.7*

When I loaded in I got stuck on the tutorial screen

### 5/5 — Best Idle Game EVER!

*2019-07-24, version 3.1.7*

This is the BEST idle game I have ever played, period. There is a lot of content and upgrades to unlock, and it never gets dull! I LOVE this game so I paid $4.99 in order to support you guys and get rid of ads.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-07-08, version 3.1.7*

Good game

### 5/5 — Fun idle defense

*2019-02-22, version 3.1.7*

I just started and Ive enjoyed it for a few hours🔝

### 5/5 — Still awesome ^_^

*2018-11-11*

Still my fave idle game, but for some reason, I need to tap slightly to the left of the button I want in order to hit it.  Thought it was my screen, but every other app works fine.  That being said I’m unable to access the settings, because every time I tap on it it just brings up the rankings window.  A slight annoyance, but nothing I can’t deal with.  Thank you for making this game ^_^

### 5/5 — Здорово!
