### 2/5 — Hard to play

*2019-07-20, version 2.0.3*

Tanks

### 4/5 — Nice history game

*2018-11-13, version 1.1.1*

This is a great castle defense game, the history lessons are fun and informative, and the fact of a virtual map is even better!!

### 3/5 — Battery Drainage

*2018-06-27, version 1.1.1*

Holy crap, the gameplay is amazing! But this app drains my battery so fast. 9% in under 5 minutes, please fix this.

**Developer response:** Hi gerardykarate! Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We will be sure to let our team that you're encountering this issue. Thank you for your patience while we investigate further.

### 5/5 — Great Concept

*2018-05-17, version 1.1.1*

Great game, needs more maps to battle on. And the ability to win the final battle of each map.

### 2/5 — Awesome Games / CRASHES constantly

*2018-04-16, version 1.1.1*

I’ve been playing since it came out. The game will quit quite frequently while you are trying to position your knights!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to let us know! We will be sure to tell our team that you're encountering these issues, even after the recent update. Please feel free to let us know any additional information about this issue as we continue to look into it. Thanks for playing!

### 2/5 — I wish the ads worked better

*2017-10-27, version 1.0.3*

Ok I bet this is a great game but I’ve spent like an hour trying to get the art to work and it won’t

### 4/5 — Sweet Game!

*2017-10-18, version 1.0.3*

This is a survival castle defense game.

From what I could tell, was that this more like a ‘demo’ of what’s possible, like a prototype.

The scene isn’t particularly stabilized in the real world, but that is common for the apps I’ve seen, so it might just be the iPhone SE, and ARKIT, as apposed to the developers.

Aside from those few glitches, this is an excellent use of ARKIT! With the ability to move the phone in many ways, to see the battle field, is entirely intuitive. The inputs are out of the way, and it isn’t difficult to collect coins, or target the invaders.

If I could see more from this game, perhaps I might have missed some of these features, I would have the ability to see my score, to move into a main menu screen, to adjust the location of the battle field, to have upgrades, and I would want to see a multiplayer version. Perhaps battling each other, one invading while the other defends, or both hold the fort or mass an army to get through the walls.

Wether this would be incorporated with this game, or as an abstract feature for other systems, I think it would be cool to have multiple people use their phones to create interactive objects and boards, that only they can see, with other things being visible across all devices.

**Developer response:** Greetings Templars! The time is now to get back to defending the city of Acre from the invaders, as we have just released a new version of the game. Protect the Holy Grail at all costs, and show the enemy that we will never surrender!

### 2/5 — Won’t recognize flat surface😡

*2017-10-17, version 1.0.3*

I want to try out this game because it looks awesome but it won’t recognize any flat surface that I place it on. What gives??

### 2/5 — Hard, much?

*2017-10-15, version 1.0.3*

I feel like more than 3 tries to make it past the FIRST level is a little much. Mobile games are supposed to drag you by the nose through a tutorial for at least five minutes. Or maybe I’m just a scrub. I give up, in any case. Great concept though.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2020-04-30, version 2.0.3*

Can’t get past screen telling you to go in a circle 
Plus reviews 2years old

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-09-29, version 2.0.3*

Constantly tells me to find a horizontal surface and more light. A table is as horizontal as I can get and directly under an led bulb lamp should be bright enough. 1 star.

### 1/5 — Need the camera to play this game

*2019-09-26, version 2.0.3*

Need to give them the access of the camera to play this game, which I don’t see any necessary thing for a defense game like this... delete after 1 min.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-09-03, version 2.0.3*

*2018-11-29, version 1.1.1*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2018-02-01, version 1.0.3*

Why does it have to find a flat surface to play I haven’t even gotten into the game to play.

### 1/5 — Never got to play

*2018-01-06, version 1.0.3*

This app loads than says move around so the app can find a flat surface. So I spun my phone around sat it down picked it up spin it back and forth after 5 mins it didn’t find its flat “surface”so 1 star better luck to others.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-11-20, version 1.0.3*

I have no idea how this game is because the stupid thing won’t find a flat surface

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-10-05, version 1.0.2*

The app keeps saying to move around to find a flat surface. It doesn’t matter where I put my iPad it doesn’t leave that screen.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-11-13, version 2.0.3*

This game is amazing because I love how it makes you feel like there is a castle there even though their is not a castle there. I love in the main menu that u guys used actual people instead of video game guys. I love the detail so much that when I first go the game and planted the base I was screaming at the top of my lungs! That is why this is a amazing game.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2019-09-28, version 2.0.3*
