Recently, however, I was riding in a vehicle in a dead zone. I tried to open the app with the message that said something like “no connection, try again”. Why is internet necessary/used? This doesn’t seem right. ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-03-21, version 2.1.0* It’s basicly a reskin of The Army. Watch an ads to get only 5 minutes is… well I felt ripped off ### 4/5 — Amazing Game! Update more! *2025-02-13, version 1.5.3* So far I’ve enjoyed the game a lot. It’s possible without micro transactions and still extremely fun but some help. Hoping for more updates on characters and bug fix on some of the ad coin chests not being scaled properly. Other than that, its an amazing game and I often lose track of time because of it. ### 4/5 — Save Progress *2025-01-12, version 1.5.3* It is a good game with nice Ideas. The only thing missing is something to connect with like an apple account to safe you’re progress ### 3/5 — Fun with potential *2024-12-23, version 1.5.3* Game is fun overall, but super slow in terms of pace and upgrading. Units die easily because they don’t target enemies right away, especially if enemy is behind you, costs a ton of coins to upgrade stats by .1, very much geared towards ad watching/microtransactions. ### 3/5 — Needs more content *2024-12-12* Fun game. I bought no ads like I do on most games. I’ve axed out about everything you can max out but there is nothing to do after level 20. It says coming soon on a tab on the bottom right but I’ve been playing for a while nothing has been added. ### 4/5 — Needs more content *2024-10-23, version 1.5.1* It’s a good game, you don’t HAVE to watch ads, there’s only 20 levels, they do get progressively harder and it takes a bit of time to actually beat all of them but after that there’s nothing else to do. I log on the game once or twice a week for the last month and still no updates. ### 3/5 — Complete copy of “The Army” *2024-10-19* Played a game just like this a while ago called “The Army”, not sure if it ever becomes better or more interesting because of the same complaints that the other one suffered from. But yeah this is basically just an unoriginal reskin as far as I can tell. ### 2/5 — Decent idea, poor execution *2024-10-05, version 1.5.1* The core gameplay is decently fun, but it’s a horrible execution. The game is nothing but repetitive grinding in order to get ad views. The programmings is just lazy, from the horrid pathfinding to the lack of anything to do ### 4/5 — Good *2024-09-02, version 1.5* Geat game just feels slow even at 1.5 speed. maybe make it to 2.0 speed. also maybe add more of an idle aspect like earning coins while the game is off so i can come back to some upgrades. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-16, version 2.1.1* Not possible to play offline ### 1/5 — Game not working? *2025-02-25, version 2.0.2* I don’t know what the problem is, but my units will NOT attack anything. I have to manually tap on things with my thumb to do damage since the units I have won’t move and attack for me, taking out all the purpose of an idle game. I don’t understand what’s wrong ### 1/5 — Invisible wall with newest update *2025-02-24, version 2.0.1* Ally and enemy units are unable to move//shoot through some kind of invisible wall in between where ally units spawn and the rest of the level, shame really since the rest of the update seems like a nice breath of life into the game. ### 1/5 — Needs more content *2025-02-23, version 2.0.1* Edit: This update nerfed all of my perks just to make me have to buy new cards in order to get even less than I had previously upgrading. You all took away the ability to hold to upgrade and this update has made me lose quite a few of the things I already had unlocked including how many troops I can have. Please fix. Fun game. I bought no ads like I do on most games. I’ve axed out about everything you can max out but there is nothing to do after level 20. It says coming soon on a tab on the bottom right but I’ve been playing for a while nothing has been added. ### 1/5 — Last update broke game *2025-02-23* No way to contact developer, hopefully this is seen. Game is great but the last update broke it. Max leveled mage converted to lightning freezes the game. The mages will kill the blocks but when enemy units spawn both just float indefinitely doing nothing. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for letting us know about the mage issue. Please update the game — your issue should be resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for playing! ### 1/5 — Reklamlar *2024-12-01, version 1.5.3* Reklam izlemeden ilerlemek imkansız oyunda. Sürekli reklam sürekli reklam. ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of time *2024-10-10, version 1.5.1* Incredibly slow to “play” and to progress. I can’t even imagine that paying for their “micro” transactions would make a significant impact ### 1/5 — Rating manipulation *2024-09-29, version 1.5.1* They asked me to rate in-game before on the AppStore to filter out low reviews. Also the game is full. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-08-15, version 1.4* Just a terrible game, no point in downloading it ### 1/5 — Game *2024-07-10, version 1.2.1* Very mid ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Support 100% korrekt und hilfsbereit *2025-11-22, version 2.1.1* Sehr Großes Potenzial hat das Spiel Ist Mega gut und macht süchtig ^^ Grinden Grinden Grinden Am Anfang etwas zäh aber etwas später geht alles schneller ;) Also dran bleiben lohnt sich ;) Kann jedem paar Käufe empfehlen aber um zu spielen ist es kein Muss ;) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2025-03-23, version 2.1.1* Wow such a great game! But did it get harder with the last patch 1.2? I play it since sept. 2024 and I'm happy that this game exists👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Last update broke game *2025-03-03, version 2.0.3* Fun game, the last big patch changed a lot and gave it more replay ability. Still feels like mage is the winner for everything - especially the fireball one, but there are some other viable units now. ### 5/5 — Great little game *2025-02-25, version 2.0.2* Very well thought out and fun game, latest update shows the developer cares a lot about the game. Well done! ### 5/5 — Very nice game *2024-11-22, version 1.5.3* Chill auto battle :) ### 5/5 — 🐐 *2024-11-02, version 1.5.2* Underrated on so many levels (NO FORCED ADS!!!) ### 5/5 — Simplistic and fun *2024-10-16* I love this game it’s so relaxing. The hold to upgrade doesn’t work all the time. Even with a stylus it sometimes randomly just stops and you have to press again. I can’t wait for more features! Is there a discord? ### 5/5 — Addict ahah *2024-09-15, version 1.5* Le jeu me plaît, si jamais le dev vois ce message, peut tu rajouter le nombre d’améliorations max que l’on peux acheter et baisser le prix du pack pour plus avoir de pubs stp ! Merci d’avance !! Et si jamais tu peux faire un feuille de route des prochaines mises a jours pour voire les dates de quand elles sort c’est encore mieux !! ### 5/5 — Been playing for some time! *2024-08-21, version 1.4* Good game to spend free time. It needs some serious updates such as; - 1x 10x and max upgrade in the game. I don’t want to click multiple times or hold my finger to upgrade the attack or others. - new units - unit choice reroll - further upgrades, I have almost upgraded everything and waiting for new features - maybe more cards or more card levels Hope you will continue to develop this precious game! ### 5/5 — Good for now *2024-08-20, version 1.4* Pretty much a reskin of similar tower defense games just a different concept but fun nevertheless.
