You'll have seen everything the game has to offer within the first 30 minutes. Hundreds of dollars in p2w purchases before you even get into the premium currency that locks off stuff all over the place. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-06-13, version 75.0.0* Not much to game you set up towers gathering resources to allow you to buy more towers and and power them up so you can reach higher waves. So the initial set up of the towers is the main part of the game you then leave the game to run gathering resources. The only part of the game that requires your interaction is the highest levels of of the current run where you use spells to hopefully advance another 20 to 30 waves further than your last run. Once a run is done you use prestige, energy, and diamonds to improve such things as damage, speed of game, improved resource collection, and evolve your towers so you can proceed further quicker on your next run. I was having fun with the game determining the best set up of towers then deciding which improvements to make to advance quicker. Unfortunately when I reached about wave 2500 which took me about two weeks of play time to achieve the game started to freeze in the starting game screen and would not load. Tried restarting my iPad to no effect and eventually deleted the game and reloaded hoping this would restore my progress but no luck with that. So restarted the game this time linking it to my apple account so if this happened again I would not lose my progress. So reached about wave 2500 again and the same thing happened again freezing when I started the game. Tried the usual remedies again to no effect so reloaded the game linked my apply account but did not load my previous progress. Overall I found this game interesting the set up of the towers and their interactions is probably the most complex I have seen in any tower defence game. But the amount of time you have to invest is just not worth it especially if you are going to lose all progress when this bug occurs. ### 1/5 — Newest update broke game *2024-05-23, version 75.0.0* Fix it please. Also, your website won’t allow any messages to be sent. Fix it please. ### 3/5 — Recovering Save File is Hard *2024-03-27, version 73.0.0* Fun game, but had to redownload and now I don’t know how to recover my save ### 1/5 — BAD *2024-02-27, version 73.0.0* I brought the resource pack for £14.99 And and the handful of gems for £4.99 and didn’t receive anything it just says processing purchase, please wait I contacted the customer support team and it said give up to 48 hours. But never heard back nor did I receive a refund. Now I can’t buy anything in game because when I do it just says processing purchase please wait. This needs to be fixed ASAP ### 1/5 — Good game but… *2023-11-10, version 72.0.0* This is a great game, but whenever I try to make a purchase I get an error and it fails. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-11-02, version 72.0.0* This game has not been playable on IOS for a while now due to a server connection issue 🤷‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Alright game, but… *2023-09-13* I’m sure this game is just as good it even better than the first, but I can’t look past the fact this entire game looks terrible, even worse is when you compare it to the first game’s amazing pixel art, which is most of why I still play it. Don’t like the Roblox-like style this one has. Going to stick to the first one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game needs fixing *2026-03-10, version 75.1.0* After purchasing packs my game doesn’t work I can’t participate in tournaments or sign in to the server getting in touch with support is impossible will change to 5 stars when my account gets fixed please help ### 1/5 — Devs no longer care about this app *2026-02-28, version 75.1.0* No more dev support with this app don’t waste your time downloading ### 1/5 — Used to be really fun, but it’s dead *2025-12-05* As the title says, this used to be an amazing successor to the original, but it’s dead now. One of the most important features of the game, tournaments, no longer runs. This prevents you from the only source of a certain upgrade material that is required for an entire upgrade tree. If you are ok with not being able to ever upgrade some of the most important upgrades in the game then it can still be fun, but you will be severely held back. ### 1/5 — Lost progress *2025-10-26, version 75.0.3* I played for a while and tryed to use the save cloud and every time I tryed it froze saying connecting to server and I realized I can’t do the tournament without it so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to see if that would fix it and it didn’t I just ended up losing all my progress ### 1/5 — Bad game *2025-04-27* Do not download. Worst game ever. Never use money on this. Half of the items you need to go farther in the game do not work anymore. No point in playing this garbage ### 1/5 — Game neglected. No Tournaments *2025-03-31, version 75.0.1* This game would be very fun if they started up the tournaments again. A big part of the game is now no longer available ### 1/5 — I CAN’T GET IN!!🤬🥺😭😡 *2024-10-12, version 75.0.1* I don’t know why I can’t get in the game. Rebooting, deleting and reinstalling, updating the software, closing the apps, even waiting. So please help me out and update the game again. If you do then I will change my rates to a 5. ### 1/5 — Eigentlich gut… *2024-07-23* Edit: So, seit mittlerweile Monaten reagiert niemand auf das Problem, dass ich nicht an Turnieren teilnehmen kann…ergo 0 Sterne. Warum den Support das nicht interessiert, bleibt fraglich. Auf jeden Fall ist das unter aller 🐷, zahlende Kundschaft so dermaßen zu missachten. Warum nur 3 Sterne? Weil ich seit Wochen nicht am PvP teilnehmen kann. Der Countdown beginnt immer wieder von vorn. Der Discord-Button funktioniert nicht und der Support antwortet nicht. Wenn sich da endlich mal jemand drum kümmert, gebe ich auch mehr Sterne. **Developer response:** Wir freuen uns über jedes Feedback, das uns hilft, die Anwendung zu verbessern, da wir sie ständig aktualisieren, um sie für alle Nutzer angenehmer zu gestalten.

Shame because it was an amazing game, and got more and more QOL updates ### 1/5 — Don’t spend anything on this game *2024-06-13, version 75.0.0* Devs have stopped supporting the app and it’s slowly being phased out with zero notice (unless you’re on Discord). One of its main features is no longer operating and while there’s some community around it, it’s whittling down thanks to the little support it’s getting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 💫Amazing sequel🤩 *2026-08-13* As someone who already played the original monster td I can say this Is perfect! there’s pretty much no ads the graphics are great and Monster variety is also pretty nice. overall i can still see a lot of more Potential for this game in the future and I’ll definitely come back then! 🔥🔥🔥🔥9/10 game!🔥🔥🔥🔥 :Recommendations for the future: 🛡️Guilds🛡️ (for more social interaction) New monster type (example: exotic from commando bot) 💰Make some premium upgrades cost gems instead of just money💎 Add events every few months so players can earn more currency Like 💎gems💎 and ⚡️energy⚡️ ### 5/5 — Updates *2026-07-16, version 75.1.0* Every thing is good with this game but the game doesn’t really change much and I have come up with a few ideas 1 if you are earning offline rewards exp goes to towers not in skill support. 2 whilst in idle game you should be able to set a wave to automatically prestige on there are also some titles that seem impossible to get such as boss o Holic. Perhaps some new towers would help rather than just the usual 40. There is a bug with my game it disallows me to compete in tournaments and every time an ad cool-down reaches 0 it goes to 1 minutes so can you please fix this a lot of progress could be made with tournaments but overall a great game ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-06-21, version 75.0.2* Very easy to understand each aspect which I appreciate in a TD game ### 5/5 — Update *2025-03-14* Is there a new update? ### 5/5 — More content *2025-02-11, version 75.0.1* More updates and content pleaseeee ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-04, version 75.0.1* I really enjoy playing this game. It’s good at killing a few minutes of time and I like the 3D models and evolutions. Overall, very fun mobile game ### 5/5 — Ads need fixing *2024-08-29* The solitaire cash money is stuck on repeat please fix overall the game is mad ### 5/5 — Einfach genial!!! *2024-02-29* Nach ungelogen über 30 Idles auf der verzweifelten Suche nach was gutem fand ich dieses Juwel!!! Schön gemacht, bleibt lange interessant, schöne Balance zwischen anspruchsvoll aber ohne Geld schaffbar und ENDLICH wird man mal nicht mit unnützer Werbung bombardiert! Rundum super und sehr empfehlenswert 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Don’t let the poly-like graphics cloud your judgement *2024-02-07, version 73.0.0* This game is great for the tower defense game fans. I play it everyday and it can play and collect waves while you move on to something else like, YouTube or another game. Just grind and you don’t have to pay for anything. ### 5/5 — Monstermob please help!!!!! *2023-11-22, version 72.0.0* I bought the ads bundle. I got a RV error message. I tried your website. It does not allow me to send inquiry through contact. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
