Polished and fun autobattler/tower defense? lol

The game has no right being as fun as it is. Has fun characters, a great gameplay loop that can only be described as clash Royale meets Teamfight tactics. The only thing holding it back is sadly the monetization and the gacha summoning system that seems to be included in every game nowadays. Has multiple subscriptions too.

I just want to tell the game developer that this game can be super successful and profitable if they take their foot off the monetization pedal ever so slightly. Right now it’s kind of off-putting.

Very Fun

It’s a pretty unique game and definitely deserves a download and try!! I’ve been seeing the advertisements for this game as well as so many others on social media, I’m glad I’ve given this game a shot and can definitely see myself being a long time casual player as I haven’t noticed any pay to win schemes as of yet.

FUN but RIGGED

It’s actually a pretty fun game especially in the beginning. Like other games, at some point it becomes way more challenging immediately, which can still be overcome without spending money but of course the perks are better with some money spent.

That being said my issue comes with the balance of battles. Whether it’s 1v1 or a group battle (which I find more fun), the game will simply work against you in impossible ways.

In 1v1, it will refuse to give you any good minions or help you further develop your current playing characters. It will literally just block you from progressing

Similarly the biggest scam mechanics are seen in the group battles- you will never have access to good abilities without paying the seasonal pass (you can see them locked on the screen), and even with abilities that increase your speed, I have watched my minions slow down for NO REASON, allowing the opponent to win. Sometimes even allowing them to defeat a boss or minion that should have hit them, while in opposition, a boss I should have stopped before reaching me somehow still reaches me.
They will also sometimes both only offer you weak abilities and low level minions making it almost guaranteed that you’ll be out within a few rounds.

It’s frustrating because I do actually like other aspects of the game. But the blatant imbalance meant to frustrate you into spending money is a let down.

Love the game. But too much RNG can be frustrating

The game is fantastic. Plenty of moving pieces and lots of minions to unlock! But the RNG aspect is frustrating, end up getting hand fulls of the same card or I can go an entire match without seeing a card. The inconsistency makes it difficult to enjoy.

P2W

If you aren’t willing to buy exclusive units that can only be obtained by paying don’t bother, you may win at first but once you get to higher ranks you will be cheesed by the P2W units while you are stuck with the crappier F2P units.

Games awesome but couple bugs

When you watch an ad the game audio stops working and it’s super annoying because I have to restart my game for it to come back. If you his could fix this I would change to 5 star.

Broken match making after update

I was enjoying this game. Pretty fun to play. But after the new update, when the season ended, you guys are matchmaking 300% power to 390% power and are obvious play to win players. It stops being fun when it’s not even a fair and even playing field. Aside from them having so much power, they have multiple power ups which are pretty obvious overpowered. I grind so hard my account since day 1 when you guys launched and got everything I can get for free so I know there is no way they can get those upgrade without paying. I support them supporting developers like you as you guys need to earn to but atleast fix the matchmaking where we are not matched with players that are impossible to win. This ruined the game for me and started playing less now. My friends who I invited to play and started playing since day 1 as well are also playing less due to this matchmaking imbalance.

Simple Things

I don’t want to leave a review based on this but have no choice. Simple request.. Play music from outside source. 3 stars because this is to basic not to include. 4 star game minimum honestly. Other than that level 8 tier drop rate needs to be improved. Shouldn’t have to wait for round 8+ to actually start recruiting them. Tested and never got one before round 6+ I’ve won most (95%+) matches without ever even getting to play with or even see my 8 tier

Fun but P2W

Pay to win pvp is always a bit underwhelming, sometimes I will face someone with a 20+ win streak and a bunch a units I never saw and it’s never close. Otherwise gameplay is nice. Would be one of the best phone games if it wasn’t pay to win

It deleted my progress

I downloaded the game yesterday and I was playing quite a bit since I found it to be a fun game. Today I played more and I had several upgrades and plants unlocked. Later in the day it made me start all over. I had used my Apple account to sign in to save my progress and today it made me choose a new name. I thought it was the connection so I moved to a place with better connection and it still made me start all over again. I went to the settings to sign in and it didn’t connect, it said the account was already connected.

Great game!

Nice game, I love the fact that there is almost no Ads and the gameplay really is addictive

Fun but Heavily P2W

I did really enjoyed the game for a good month, it’s fresh, game are not too long (at first) and there are quite a lot of content.

But the more I played, the more I became bored: fight are mostly rinse and repeat, most of them are unbalanced (either crushing opponent or being crushed), there are too many layers that make the game P2W (with combinations of increased strength coming from badges, total level, minions owned, legendaries at Level 10+). I also did enjoyed the Rumble Chess for a moment but oh god like the duration of this game mode is way too long for such bad and useless rewards at the end (more than 20-30 min a game to get a useless +10 pts…)

In short: Very strong and enjoyable early experience, but slowly becoming very repetitive and annoying: longer games, same rewards, RNG heavy to hope having a buff saving your game.

Idk

Addicting

My progress was deleted randomly

I’ve been on the game for the past few months and all of my progress was randomly deleted yesterday I played the game no problem and now all of my progress has been deleted and despite trying to link the account it states that it is already linked. I enjoyed this game until I got robbed of my time and trophies

It’s actually fun

There is strategie in the game

Nerf Guaca Sage

I deleted the game bc you get to 500 trophies then EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE is just spamming the guaca sage, i havent got it yet bc i didnt get lucky or spend money, the card is too broken. If i dont play against it i win everytime and when i do play against it i always lose. People get 3 3star guaca sages down 15 games in a row and its just so boring and repetitive.

Fun but would be better with own music

The gameplay is pretty unique and fun. I haven’t found a way to listen to my own music or videos while i play though which is a big deal for me

Good Game!!

I haven’t been hooked on a game for a while but this one got me. I’ve been playing this game like crazy the past few days. I usually get tired of games in a day or two, but i see myself binging this for a while. Very good thing about this too is regular matches go by quickly and won’t have to wait so long for it.

Pay to win

The character behind the starter pack is absurdly op so if you don’t spend money to buy it and go up against anyone who did it’s pretty much a guaranteed loss. You can’t scale fast enough to survive early game. Any game without the paid character were always a close strategic game where who you had and where you placed them matter. So once again great game and fun concept ruined by greed
