I have a PS5 for that. I’m just on here to kill some time. ON CASUAL DIFFICULTY I have no idea how people beat the first planets boss without paying to play. So annoying. I’ve looked up walkthroughs and skill tree paths, and I still can’t win. Stupid game ### 4/5 — Платное всё *2026-05-23, version 1.8.3* Мне игра нравится,но мне не нравится что нужно тратить деньги на персонажей,ну и на игру. Поэтому 4 звезды⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. А так игра классная, мне понравилось!! ### 3/5 — Last mission is lazy *2026-04-10, version 1.8.3* Last mission is lazy code. Unable to skip dialogue and unfairly scaled. Significantly dented my overall impression of the game. ### 2/5 — Проблемы *2026-03-22, version 1.8.3* Пропали сохранения Восстановите ### 3/5 — เกม *2026-02-24, version 1.8.3* เล่นค่อนข้างยากนิดนึง ### 4/5 — Good game, DLC not required *2026-02-16, version 1.8.3* The game was overall fun. Bought this game on release so I got one of the DLC characters for free. The base game is great. Levels are big and take a little bit to complete (but I’m also a novice at RTS, so I could be new to it). The army stuff was diverse, and I didn’t even complete the skill tree before I finished the final boss. DLC is interesting, but I’m not about to fork over $3 or more dollars for a unit in a game that costs only $5 and provides 3 perfectly cool units as is. ### 3/5 — Graphics! Pay to Play *2026-01-25, version 1.8.3* Since this a real review, by a real user who actually paid for the game: This review will be balanced from new player's veiwpoint. So amazing the graphics. A lot of care on sound design, with hyper-detail to voices and music. I love how character, like Starcraft, have their own personalities and catch lines. The other part: Gameplay is simple, not a lot of strategy like Starcraft, with level bosses to defeat. Pay to Play. I've found one hero I like, but she is too underpowered for conditions. So, I have two choices, play at casual, or purchase coins. The game is basically designed for you to have to purchase coins to get enough kit to complete the level past the casual stage. Many of us want to play above casual to make the game seem more real and exciting. But, unlike Starcraft, you don't just buy it once and have everything you need. You have to keep paying. Last note: The antagonists are weak, which might make the game repetitive and boring. At least Starcraft had a strong story and back history for the antagonists. What makes then any different than a zombie shooter or ordinary TD? Not much. 🤷‍♀️ ### 3/5 — スルメゲーだけど不満が多い *2025-10-11* タワーディフェンスをのんびりやりたいと思って購入。ただ、中身は、鬼畜ゲーで、最初のうちは⭐️2評価でした。 段々と操作感に慣れていき、最終的に無課金でオール不可能級クリアをしました。 今後、購入を検討する人用に良かった点と悪かった点を載せておきます。 良かった点① 意外とスルメゲーで、最初のうちはカジュアルでも難易度が高い。というか忙しい。 ステージの配置や、動き方が分かると楽しさが分かってくる。 ステージにより違うけど、案外、不可能級の方がすんなりクリア出来たりする。 良かった点② この会社のタワーディフェンスアプリをいくつかやっているが、流石のクオリティ。コスパは良いと思う。 全ての最難関をクリアした達成感は、素晴らしい。 悪い点① 敵の体力が高すぎる。ボスや中ボスの他、ザコ敵の無限湧きは発狂もの。 敵味方のキャラ図鑑もないから作戦の立てようもない。ラグビー理論で、少しずつ進めるしかない。 悪い点② 操作性の悪さ。ユニットの移動、画面移動、攻撃対象の選択が思うように出来ない。iPad でやる事を進める。 ユニットの動きも悪く、敵が発生するポータルが近くに出現しても無視。 悪い点③ テンポの悪さ。ユニットの動きが遅い、とくにロボット。途中に即死のギミックがあるとそれだけで使う気が失せる。 ユニットの強化もないので、プレイしている時の爽快感もあまりない。 ### 3/5 — Fun, But Hero’s Are Kinda Pay To Win *2025-06-10, version 1.8.2* This game is fun, don’t get me wrong but it’s kinda pay to win. In the game your main character is you’re hero and most of the hero’s you have to pay for. Most of them cost little to nothing but I still think that this game could maybe take off the prices for some hero’s. I would recommend this game for 8+ because some of the levels have strategy’s that a 10 year old could not figure it out. This game is fun and I still play it to this day. ### 2/5 — покупки не восстанавливаются *2025-03-14, version 1.8.2* купил пару героев на одном планшете, на другом с той же учеткой герои не разблокировались! прелогаеся купить их повторно, если не это то игра нравится ### 5/5 — ช่วยแก้ปัญหา *2024-09-23, version 1.8.2* ซื้อ hero แล้วลงเกมใหม่ สรุป hero หาย ทำยังไงได้บ้างครับ ### 4/5 — ไม่มีด่านเพิ่มเหรอ *2024-07-04, version 1.8.2* ไม่มีด่านเพิ่มเหรอ สนุกดี ### 2/5 — Жадные разработчики! *2024-05-29, version 1.8.2* Заплатил деньги за игру. Заплатите еще, чтобы открыть новых персонажей. Зачем делать внутриигровой магазин за реальные деньги в платной игре? Идиотизм 👎 ### 5/5 — Cool RTS Game *2024-04-10* Need more like this. Can you add more levels ? Really loved playing this game. ### 3/5 — Really fun but to easy and needs more planets *2024-03-30, version 1.8.2* This game is really really really fun but I would love for some more content and maybe some harder difficulty levels ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 不好玩 *2026-01-27, version 1.8.3* 执行逻辑有问题；操作太多；小怪技能太恶心 ### 1/5 — Купил, а игра не качается. *2025-06-07, version 1.8.2* Оплата прошла. Показывает, что игра в облаке, а она не качается из облака. Как вернуть деньги? ### 1/5 — Unfair *2025-05-23, version 1.8.2* Level seven is impossible because they don’t give you any thing good or any counters you need and they’re final boss op and unfair Don’t waste your money on this ### 1/5 — Can’t skip dialogue *2025-02-05, version 1.8.2* It’s 2025 and still this game force you to read the whole boss dialogue every time you redo the mission. ### 1/5 — Not for Casual Gamers *2024-08-13, version 1.8.2* Unless you’re already a fan of real-time strategy (RTS) games, you’ll find this frustratingly difficult. The amount of grind just to get through the first planet is unreasonable. The proverbial juice is not worth the squeeze. I don’t mind a grind on a game that makes the grind fun, but this comes across as gatekeeping and pay-to-win. There’s very little help in regards to how to actually play the game aside from basic controls. The general feeling is that you need to know about RTS games before going into this one. I’m sure the kinds of guys who call people “whining plebs” would disagree. Anyway, if you’re a casual gamer, save your money. ### 1/5 — All my stuff is gone *2023-12-17, version 1.8.2* All my progress and character which I bought are gone I bought a new phone and everything. Shows my progress in achievements what happens smh ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2023-11-27, version 1.8.2* To short as well just like this review ### 1/5 — Shame it won’t actually let me past splash screen *2023-05-29, version 1.8.2* Launching this takes me straight to a splash screen advertising all the other games that is impossible to get past. Slow handclap, guys. ### 1/5 — My save is gone *2023-03-29, version 1.8.2* What happened to this game and this devs? My save and Mark X is gone. I’m not buying it one more time for $7. You guys loosing my support. ### 1/5 — Помойка *2023-03-22, version 1.8.2* Донатная помойка ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wooooo boo *2026-07-27, version 1.8.3* This games great. So much fun content !!!! ### 5/5 — Nicu *2026-05-16, version 1.8.3* Awesome to kill your time , not a bad game for 0.99 pounds . ### 5/5 — Must buy game if you are into strategy games! *2026-03-29, version 1.8.3* I loved this game because of its difficulty to make you think outside the box and not do anything stupid. It’s an extremely good game for the price and I couldn’t stand a day without playing it ### 5/5 — Я не понимаю, что делать *2026-01-25, version 1.8.3* На первой планете, на уровне, где нужно убить босса «Слона» возникла проблема: я вкачал всю ветку навыков, прокачал НА МАКСИМУМ своего героя, но все равно никак не могу его пройти, и это не из-за времени, а из-за хп и скорости босса. Ты чуть-чуть его надамажил, он убил 1 отряд космодесантников и в ту же секунду он уже у главной базы. Это очень дизбалансный босс. Сама игра очень крутая, но из-за этого босса я не могу пройти дальше. Дорогие разработчики, Если у вас когда нибудь будет возможность сделать обновление для этой игры, ведь она уже не обновлялась 2 года (имеется ввиду крупные обновления, а не фиксы и т.д.), то сделайте, пожалуйста, что-нибудь с этим боссом, ибо проходить так дальше сюжет невозможно и интерес к игре отваливается ### 5/5 — Helllll Yeaaaaa!!! *2026-01-23, version 1.8.3* I’m a 58 yo AVID gamer since childhood when the FIRST video games were created!…lol I truly appreciate the GREAT GAMES of my time and THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AMAZINGLY CRAFTED GREATS!!! I sooo wish I could transform my “Aviation Science” degree and gaming experience into a spot with this game developer because they are truly amazing! Story…. but not dragging!; Depth… but simplistically FUN; PLAYABILITY WITHOUT ADS OR DEMANDS FOR $$$$$!!!!! Art and overall graphics are insanely good and sound is spot on! PLAY THIS!!!!! You WILL NOT Regret It!!! Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-01-19, version 1.8.3* It’s a fun, game plays welll ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-09-29, version 1.8.2* Don’t know what to write. ### 5/5 — Added new content *2025-06-02, version 1.8.2* Very good game please update and Added new stage ### 5/5 — Kings *2025-02-12, version 1.8.2* Excelente juego.
