Strategy and character builds should play more of a role. Tedium sets in quickly. It’s unfortunate, the graphics are fun and the idea is there but I get the sense that it’s more of a pay to win model. ### 2/5 — Not balanced at all *2025-05-19* I know this is a new game and hopefully the developers address the balance issues. Our character is extremely weak compared to the enemies and especially bosses. Ads are “optional” but in reality you need the ad buffs to even make progress. **Developer response:** Hi! We truly thank you for your feedback and for playing Night at the Valley. As a new game, we’re working on updates coming soon to improve balance and help you progress and grow stronger, using input like yours. Stay tuned! Thank you! ### 2/5 — too hard *2025-04-19* i was stuck on chapter 3 for like 3 days. even after i watched ads for better upgrades. **Developer response:** Hi! We truly appreciate your feedback and for playing Night at the Valley. We’re sorry to hear you’ve been stuck on Chapter 3. As part of the tutorial phase, it’s designed to be passed in a few tries, and using blessings buffs is key to beating it more quickly. We’re working to balance our new game based on input like yours. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Very Hard *2025-04-15* Been stuck on Chapter 5 for days. Paid the 10 dollars for all benefits and ad free. No way F2P players will be able to get anywhere in this game. Why make it so hard? I don’t foresee anyone continuing to play when it takes literal days of RNG frustration to make any sort of progress, and that progress is VERY LITTLE mind you. ggs. **Developer response:** Hi! We’re deeply grateful for your feedback and for supporting Night at the Valley. We aim to create a challenging tower defense game for fans, which can feel tough and requires grinding to grow stronger over time.

Thank you for helping us make it better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Starts fun *2026-08-05* The first 4 levels were really fun then 5 became almost impossible. I finally beat it after 10+ tries and now the game won’t load. It’s stuck on “loading chapter.” I’ll keep it around for week or two in hopes of an update with balance changes and bug fixes but this review will stay if there are no fixes. ### 1/5 — не входит *2026-03-02* вообще не заходит в игру, все останавливается на начальном экране загрузки iPhone 16 pro ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-09-10* Stuck on logging in screen at 80%. iPhone 12 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the situation you've encountered. This issue may be connection-related. Please try upgrading to the latest game version, and if the problem persists, reach out to us at contact@makerstudios.gg for further support. We’re here to help get you back in the game! ### 1/5 — Great looking game *2025-07-07* Game looks great, but the progression is TERRIBLE. I was hopeful at first, but I’ve been stuck at the 4th chapter for way too long. I can’t imaging how much worse it goes from here. I’d like to continue playing this game, but putting limits on items progression even with ads is causing me to want to delete this game rather than keep it. I hope yall take these thoughts into consideration to keep players around **Developer response:** Hi! We truly thank you for trying Night Valley and sharing your thoughts! We’ve just released a new update with improved progression for new players to make the grind more rewarding. We’re working to enhance the experience, using feedback like yours. Give it another try! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Fun for a day, then you hit a brick wall. Typical pay to play *2025-05-23* It’s fun, and you’ll blast through the first 4 chapters in a day… then it will take you 2 weeks to beat the next chapter. Unless you watch 60 SECOND DOUBLE ADS or buy the convenient premium packages. It’s such a typical game scam these days. Don’t waste your time and don’t waste your money. Listen to the other reviews and just go elsewhere to the many other better games. **Developer response:** Hi! We truly thank you for your feedback and for playing Night at the Valley. As a new game, we’re actively working to ease progression by adding more ways to get stronger faster, using input like yours. Stay tuned for updates! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Fun AT FIRST *2025-04-15* It quickly becomes IMPOSSIBLE to move forward even with spending money… **Developer response:** Hi! We sincerely thank you for your feedback and for playing Night at the Valley. We’re sorry to hear progression feels so tough. Our tower defense game is designed to be a challenging grind, but we’re actively working to balance and improve the experience for all players based on input like yours. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Trash game *2025-04-15* For Ad need to watch 60s or buy ad remove for $9.99. What a poor game. If don’t spend money will stuck on one level forever. Trash game! Trash game! Trash game! **Developer response:** Hi! We truly appreciate your feedback and for trying Night at the Valley. We’re sorry to hear the ads and progression felt frustrating. Our game is designed as a challenging tower defense grind, and we’re actively balancing it to improve the experience for all players based on input like yours.

Could you kindly share what led to this? Your input is invaluable for improving our new game. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Ad watching simulator *2025-04-14* If you enjoy watching a dozen ads a day and calling it a game then this is for you. Without the ads progression is ridiculously slow. This is basically a vampire hunter clone except you can’t even move. Seems like a cash grab someone threw together in a day. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback and for trying our game. We’re sorry to hear the ads and progression pace felt unsatisfactory. Our goal is to balance fun for all players, and we’re actively working on improving the experience based on input like yours. We appreciate your thoughts and will keep them in mind for future updates. ### 1/5 — Why make the game free to play? *2025-04-12* When you want people to spend to cross level 2, why make the game free to play ? There is no progress you can make as a F2P player. Might as well make it paid and don’t ask for 10.99$ IAPs **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback and for playing our game. We hear you about the paywall concerns. Our game is designed for free-to-play players to progress all the way to the end by engaging with ads and grinding, which many enjoy. We're always tweaking the balance to make it fun and fair, so your input is super helpful! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, satisfying *2026-02-03* I like a good grind. Love the art style and the progression. ### 5/5 — Love it! QoL Suggestions *2025-05-20* First. People whine about a challenge and want instant gratification. I like that it’s an idle TD requiring you to wait a couple days to grow. Suggestions though, have it persist the 2x speed please. It’s really annoying and repetitive tapping it every single round. Second, don’t slow down speed for the bosses, I’ve done it hundreds of times and don’t want this. Was it to allow the user to “feel” the boss? Let that be a choice then. Third and final QoL enhancement, card selection is too slow. Either remove the animation or allow auto-selecting for farming or do both! **Developer response:** Hi! We truly thank you for your feedback and for enjoying Night at the Valley! We’re working on some of your suggested QoL enhancements, along with other exciting new features for our new game. Stay tuned for updates! Thank you! ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 *2025-04-15* Classic game with a modern feel! **Developer response:** Hi! We truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you for playing our game! ### 5/5 — Decent *2025-04-13* Decent game, but light on content. It’s new though, so lets hope developers add more fun, and rankings maybe pvp, but limit p2w. For now it’s not p2w. **Developer response:** Hi! We’re so grateful for your updated feedback and thrilled you’re enjoying the game now! As a new title, we’re working hard to add more content and features, and your suggestions are greatly appreciated. We’re committed to keeping it fair and fun for all players. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fun tower defense *2025-04-13* Great game, only a few hours in but having a blast. Not too complicated and clear instructions. **Developer response:** Hi! We’re truly grateful for your kind words! Thank you for playing our game. ### 5/5 — Addicted *2025-04-03* This game gives me a challenge but keeps me playing. So good ! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-04-03* New feel to a classic game ### 4/5 — Ads *2025-09-20* So the ads are not working. Without ads you can’t get blessing, and the further game is impossible. Please fix the ads **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback review! We're sorry to hear about the issue with ads not working, which may be related to limited ad availability for your specific region. We're actively looking into ways to improve ad availability there to ensure you can access blessings and progress in the game. We appreciate your patience and hope you'll stick with us for future updates! ### 3/5 — Can’t progress *2025-10-21* The game is really fun but at some point I can’t go further unless I start throwing some money at it or grind for hours on the same level to get gold! ### 3/5 — Too grind-based *2025-05-08* I’ve paid some money to progress and am stuck on 9-15. The game gets to a point where you have to spend hundreds to get legendary items if you want to avoid dying thousands of times to progress. It needs more depth **Developer response:** Hi! We truly appreciate your feedback and for playing Night at the Valley. As a new game, we’re working hard to rebalance progression and enhance the experience for all players. We’re also developing new features to help you earn resources faster and add more depth. Please stay tuned for our upcoming updates!
