I feel as awesome and further abilities through levels that makes the game feel less paid to win and. The hero aspect feels really cool of being able to unlock an upgrade abilities is also very fun I always feel like the map is cool to the main menu. It doesn’t be that much since you’re just glance over it I feel like it’s pretty awesome and I am a tired defense connoisseur and I feel like this game hit it right on the mark, especially with the some towers being restricted to certain levels. That’s just absolute cinema. 🙌 it makes every level feel fresh and I feel like that’s what’s important in a tower defense cause if you keep doing the same thing over and over it will get old. Five stars keep up the great work ### 4/5 — Gryphon’s point *2026-03-06, version 6.4.22* I just want to talk about Gryphon’s point. Your website has a very specific, detailed and extreme video on how to beat it. You can beat it with : - archers - renforcements - almost no ability to move the hero Besides this, it is a great game. Also, please consider adding more female heroes. You can help take down tokenism. ### 1/5 — Black *2026-02-08, version 6.4.20* When I try to build the any kind of bulding immidiatly black display instead of map. Fix it ### 2/5 — Lüge ? *2025-10-19, version 6.4.18* Die Preise für zusätzliche Charaktere stimmt innerhalb des Spiels nicht mit den Preisen überein die bei In-App-Käufe genannt werden… ### 1/5 — Regret to buy *2025-08-08, version 6.1.25* I paid for the game, but i still have to pay for the heros? You are so wrong, i wish i could get my money back ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-08-03, version 6.1.25* This game is awesome ### 5/5 — เกมดีมาก *2025-07-27, version 6.1.25* ท้าทายตรงกับจริตมาก ค่อนข้างยากเลย ภาพดี มีเรื่องราวออกแบบตัวละครมามีกิมมิก ### 5/5 — Our favourite quality time game :) *2025-07-02, version 6.1.25* Me and my girlfriend loves to play this game at night where we have quality time together! For the glory!!! ### 1/5 — The game does not work on my iPad 4. *2025-06-11, version 5.5.09* The game is not working on my iPad 4. I bought this game once for my iPad 4, but the application has been updated and stopped working, only a blue screen, I am very upset, return the working version for the iPad 4! ### 5/5 — Confirm action needed *2025-01-17, version 6.1.25* Game is excellent.
