### 3/5 — Fun till it's imposable

*2013-03-08*

The game itself is fun and EZ, but after you get to max and play the endless (the goal) it goz from fun to taxing to outright impossible my best is 87 but iv stopped playing all together. I recommend the game as long as you don't pay a cent for it.

### 5/5 — Best strategy defense game!!

*2012-08-21*

Its a real good game, but the uprades cost a little too much after buy the first level of each upgrade. Also it would be cool if yall added more different kinds of dragons. Great game either way!
