I have played almost a hundred different tower defense games on multiple devices, and this is definitely in my top three! Even has a level editor and shared levels to play. Uses a card system that adds a lot of extra strategy and playability. Why did it take so long to find this. Should be on Apple recommended list of tower defense games to buy!!! ### 5/5 — Great tower defense great concept *2021-07-15, version 1.8* Keep wanting to come back but it is a little pay to play it feels. I take it back. It’s not. This game is absolutely a shame that the company never made more. I would absolutely pay for a game of this much quality in depth. Get it before it goes away. ### 5/5 — Card collection needed! *2020-04-10, version 1.7* Can you make a card collection with all towers, defenders, monsters and abilities please? Also, add an easier mode where monsters are incredibly weak and easy to kill, more starting gold and get one star, please. And p.s., when will you make act 2 with new towers, abilities, levels, powers and monsters? Oh and while you’re at it, can you please add the option to sell towers and an upgrade that collects treasure chests automatically and re add zoom it and out? ### 3/5 — Confusing... *2017-02-07, version 1.6* This game is okay, but it can be overwhelming and gets a bit confusing... Also seems to be a pay-to-continue type of game... I'm trying to grind maps, but progress is slow. ### 5/5 — Amazing and fun game!!! *2016-06-25, version 1.6* It's a tower defense, rpg! So much fun! The base tower defense game is fun and easy on the eyes. Add in the rpg element of the skill and building cards...SUCH A BLAST!!!! I have dozens & dozens of hours of fun logged from this great game!!! ### 5/5 — Restore purchase does not work *2015-09-30, version 1.6* Restore in app purchases does not work!.... I love this game and like to support developers of a great game , though when I invest and then lose my data and press the restore purchases button and it does not work then I am hesitant in buying more iaps and I was really interested in the expansion .... I have dropped about 15-20 which is not allot though I usually don't pay for iaps this is just a bummer just had surgery bed ridden for two weeks and I thought I was going to go have a new expansion for a good game .... ### 5/5 — Man at arms TD *2015-05-09, version 1.6* Great TD game very fair and addictive, lots to do wish there was more TD games like this, power ups and great game play, ### 4/5 — Great game! *2015-04-21, version 1.5* Nothing new on the TD side, but I like the cards and the ability to mix and match things. Selling the cards and combining them is genius! The gameplay seems a little stiff.. The UI elements don't interact fluidly with each other like in other TD games. No ability to sell towers once placed, no ability to restart the level without exiting to the main menu. ### 5/5 — Listen to the people... *2015-03-21, version 1.5* If you like TD you should like this... Progressive and fun. ### 5/5 — Superb game *2014-11-10, version 1.5* Best purchase in a while, great playability, so many variances on towers plus enemies get better too! Well worth the money, hope it gets the credit it deserves, well done. ## Frequently asked questions about Man at Arms TD ### What kind of game is Man at Arms TD?
