10/10 if you like roguelikes & td

I never leave reviews but I put in so much time on this game

Great game idea but the mechanism needs work

It’s a very fun casual game and I have completed all campaign levels. But when I’m trying to complete all challenge levels, the mechanism made it impossible to do so. I don’t know if the developer has passed all of them yet but like others've said it’s too random. I think at the least of the overall number of towers should have a minimum, sometimes it seems like the game is straight out doesn’t want you to win.

Too buggy

Sometimes buttons don’t work. I’ve only used this app for like 20 min and, so far, the buttons not working has caused me to forfeit an in-progress game and I was unable to start a new one. For an app that I had to pay for, this is unacceptable. Now add to the fact that it was ~$6 and you can see my frustration. I hope this gets fixed, cuz the game itself is fun.

Great Game + Enjoyable Brain Workout

This game is fantastic. I don’t play mobile games, mostly because I game on desktop or console, but this one totally makes the cut. What I enjoy most is the strategy of the game. Great for long flights; time flies when you play. Worth the money.

Requests to the developer: enable landscape mode for iPhone and iPad, and save progress between the two.

Incredible

I’ve just gotten to 100% on both Campaign and Gauntlet and I can safely say that this is by far and away my most played iPhone game. I’ve stuck with it for years. It’s a smart take on the tower defense genre and I’d just like to share my appreciation to the developer for putting in so much craft and care into this.

Fun overall if RNG goes well

The game is a fun tower defense type game but you build the path based on random pieces each round. The start of each match is a lot of fun but as the game goes on if you did not get plenty of towers you quickly get overrun fast and it’s all random what you might get. after a while you will need to defend two or three different roads but all with their own start and end point and that’s when the game get a bit unfair. As you are forced to build the same amount of defense for all new roads but with the same money and income you barely could keep up with a single road. Most times you will die from not being able to afford enough towers between all roads. Even if you aim to build new roads close to your older path’s towers you’ll never get the pieces you need to do so. The game needs some way to earn more cash , or strengthen all towers. Overall it’s a fun game but you’ll see once you are halfway through a level it gets gets very apparent you’re going to lose as each wave begins overwhelming you slowly.

The game also needs an undo placement option, so many times I accidentally placed something that I did not mean to and it ruins your run as it’s final once a piece is set.

AI?

Inconsistent and random generation of play area. Definitely tuned for the player to lose. Each and every gam, the difficulty level would increase with no way to win (towers used to defend would not populate. I had a whole isle full of flags in one instance. The last game I played, I had 6-7 towers at an early stage and easily lost. Ridiculous game for the price.

Great TD game

Played tons of tower defense games but this one has a twist. You get to place the board down in whatever patterns you can piece together from randomly generated tiles/towers. It can be a tad frustrating as RNG will force you to lose sometimes however when you get some good pieces and put a plan together it's very satisfying. Game is challenging and worth the purchase price.

You broke my favorite card combo!

I have played Isle for several years and I absolutely love it. I probably play at least 3-4 hours a week. Highly recommend it. That said, y’all claim to have “fixed” an interaction where you can get infinite bridges/bombs/coins when some cards are randomly selected… it didn’t happen that often and I seriously want that interaction back. I’ve never seen the combo happen in a daily challenge, and that’s the only time I can see it being an issue. It’s nice to layout an entire map absolutely perfectly, and gives you an opportunity to sandbox and test stuff when it’s otherwise not possible. Please consider putting the “fix” back.

Amazing game, endlessly playable

I think this maybe the best TD game I have ever played. Challenging, unique and with each game completely different. Would love to see ToA2 soon!

Great Brain Work Out

I used to do the morning crossword and all the New York Times puzzles to exercise my brain. But once I started playing Isle of Arrows I thankfully could replace my former morning habit with something that was a little more fun but equally useful for using my logic in puzzle solving. This is not an easy game on the harder levels and the more you play the better you are at. It’s highly recommended.

Been a fav for over a year

In the top three games I play most often. I sorta meditate and listen to podcasts while I zone out constructing a labyrinth of death. Still loose sometimes, usually win. Hope they create an #2

Excellent

Probably the best few quid I’ve ever spent on a game. Lovely graphics, subtle soundtrack and accessible learning curve.

I’d rather pay for the odd professional game like this, than have a hundred other ad-riddled ‘you’ve earned a badge’ drivel that’s out there for free.

Le jeu est en français !!!!

Contrairement à ce qui est indiqué le jeu est bien en français ! Un bon achat , jeu soigné avec des objectifs c’est cool !

Not fun after some playtime due to bad RNG.

At first this game is lots of fun. But this wasn’t checked well for playability. Leave the first few levels and it is almost impossible to win. RNG will give you impossible to win games over and over again. I love games that are challenging but not games that are poorly thought out where it is more to chance than skill.

Excellent

The best tower defence game I have played bar none! Easy to play but really really hard to complete some of the levels.

I hope the devs will add more options,

Recommended!!

The perfect game

Have played this every night for months now. On the road to 100%. This is the perfect roguelike casual TD game. At first it doesn’t seem like much but the gameplay loop is close to perfect. Only criticism is you do need a bit of luck for the more advanced levels. Would love to see a sequel. Excellent job dev!

Mega

Alle die sagen, dass es es zu schwer sei, fehlt der Skill und haben das Spielprinzip nicht verstanden.

Extrem unterhaltsam

Entspannende Musik, reduzierte, klare, unaufgeregte Ästhetik, fordernde (aber insgesamt durchaus machbare), raffiniert konstruierte Kampagnen sorgen für langdauernden Spielspaß. Perfekt!

Very Well Made

I haven’t been able to put the phone down since I bought a few days ago, and I’m already enjoying the countless strategies to defend and overcome. Awesome job. 10/10
