Also the fact that there hasnt been an update in over a year means you shouldnt waste a single minute if your time or a single penny on this game ### 4/5 — Great game but the monsters *2025-01-02, version 108* I like playing the game but whenever i summon a monster I get the same one and It doesn’t give me a duplicate where I can’t put the same monster down. Besides that I really like the game. ### 2/5 — Game *2024-07-14, version 108* Pay to win and prices are crazy , good game tho ### 4/5 — Good *2024-05-25, version 108* This game is good and the graphics are great just get the game ### 5/5 — Jesus loves *2024-02-14, version 108* You ### 5/5 — The game *2024-02-11, version 108* I love yo game bro it entertainins me all day😎 ### 5/5 — GG *2024-02-10, version 108* Good Game ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2024-01-21, version 108* The best game ever on phone ### 2/5 — Extremely greedy, progression falls off a cliff *2024-01-03, version 108* The game is extremely extremely greedy constantly pushing you worthless garbage for like $40. Tries to sell you $10-$20 buffs that arent even permanent. Game becomes very boring around wave 350-400 when progression slows down hard ### 4/5 — Love this game but please allow offline level progression *2023-12-27, version 108* This game is extremely fun and addictive but there should be an offline level progression up to your current max level. It’s an idle game :/ kind of silly not to have that feature. ### 5/5 — I love this game but I have one suggestion *2023-11-05, version 108* I just started playing this game today I have 3 ultra rare monsters but it says evolution I know that you can collect grew up monsters like the fire bunny I love the fire bunny but maybe you could add more monsters like godly rarity monsters and they can evolve ### 5/5 — Greatest game ever. *2023-11-04, version 108* It is addicting and fun, I love earsy rider. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-08-02, version 101* Game is dope ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads and game pictures *2026-03-09, version 108* lol I just wrote this and was looking at the pictures and the text they put on the images is incredibly wrong. They say defend your tower but you are defending a portal. They say evolve your monsters but there is no way to evolve them. You unlock new ones with currency you get. How do you not even know what is in your own game? This game itself is not bad. The funny part is you would think the part that makes them money they would make sure works. Just started playing and watched I want to say 3 level of ads so 15 and now almost every single ad is a black screen. I have to close and reopen the app and the floating treasure chest is gone. It's becoming tedious and to the point where won't watch any other ads. So their way of making money won't make them any from me. ### 1/5 — Quá nhiều quảng cáo *2024-08-22, version 108* Hiện quảng cáo liên tục ### 1/5 — Game như l *2024-07-28, version 108* Như l ### 1/5 — more like Idle Monster AD *2024-04-09, version 108* See how long you can last until you need to play 5 more ads for a DPS boost. No enemy variety, few maps, no skill involved in gameplay. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-09-30, version 101* Never connects to servers. ### 1/5 — Dirty *2023-08-05, version 101* I was just chillin, then 75 gems disappeared. Cannot recover from this. ### 1/5 — Could have been a lot better *2023-04-04, version 101* There are hardly any monsters, and like many others are saying offline progression is really needed, hate wasting battery life having to leave my screen on this app that is barely interactive anyway. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2023-01-22, version 101* I downloaded the game, and waited on the connecting to server screen for a solid 10 minutes. My wifi is good, and I’ve never had this issue with any other game before. ### 1/5 — Game won’t launch *2022-11-27, version 101* When I open the app it just gets hung at the loading screen, can’t even play. ### 1/5 — Não abre *2022-11-26* O Jogo e bom, mas não consigo abrir nesse meu dispositivo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE THE GAME *2025-09-01, version 108* I have a iPad mini two and it runs perfectly no lagg at all and the game it self is FUN but one thing that not good is no updates plsss start updating a but ### 5/5 — LOVE THE GAME *2025-07-12, version 108* I have a iPad mini two and it runs perfectly no lagg at all and the game it self is FUN ### 5/5 — Absolutely Love It *2025-03-07, version 108* It’s a pretty nice idle game, I’m haven’t played enough tower defense games to compare but it seems like a relatively decent one. The monsters and enemies are designed well and I’m a huge fan of the art style and the gameplay loop is simple but enjoyable. Again, it’s more of a tower defense themed idle game if anything, but as an idle game it’s pretty nice. ### 5/5 — I love the game, just have a suggestion *2025-03-07, version 108* Hi I have been playing this game for a little over a year and I absolutely love it. I think it would be helpful if you guys added spell layouts just like you have for monster layouts. You can put it in the bottom left right next to the spells? ### 5/5 — Update and support *2024-09-26, version 108* Y’all really need to update and support this game a little bit more it’s super fun and still feels like it needs more add pvp or co op something to keep this community going ### 5/5 — Best *2024-08-17, version 108* I never leave a review on a game but I simple had to for this one best game ever. ### 5/5 — great *2024-08-09, version 108* I just wish it were easier to grind ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-06-22, version 108* I’ve never been much on these tower type idle games.But this one is nothing like any I’ve ever seen great game man keep up the good work👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — I need more lol *2024-04-14, version 108* I need more towers and more content please. I love this game I’m completely addicted I just need more updates etc ### 5/5 — This game is so fun! *2024-03-15, version 108* I just downloaded the game and it is already one of my favorite games! I don’t know why but when I play it I feel like I should keep playing for a while.
