Its meh i guess ### 3/5 — This game Could be SO much better *2025-05-17, version 7* Remember when we were bored with PVZ 1 because of how easy it was? Well this game solves that issue. The game throws you into the first level with NO explanation on what the plants do, honestly a good game technic that helps basically repel 98% percent of everyone. Also the goblin noises made me vomit. Developers : what the heck are you all doing??!? If you want people to like your game and make money and fans, actually try to put effort into the stuff you do. Honest feedback. Some stuff to fix: —————- Explain the plants Put music in menu/games Actually animate more then 4 frames for the plants idle animation Remove the disgusting noises the goblins make Make all the recharges 99% slower, i had time to go grab a soda downstairs while I waited for the strawberry thingy to charge Make better menus, it literally is a play button and an exit button. This has been some honest feedback that I hope you all use. ### 3/5 — НОРМ *2025-01-05, version 7* Почему растений мало? Почему звук ужасный ? Почему не зомби а гоблины ? Почему там не дом а дома виде овощей? Почему вместо подсолнуха клубника? Почему украли идею ПВЗ? Почему монеты редко появляются? ### 4/5 — Still Better than PvZ 3 *2025-01-01, version 7* Need I say more ### 1/5 — Украдено у pop cap games *2024-11-24, version 7* Гига ОТСТОЙ!!!😡🤬😠😤 запретить эту игру звуки АД!!! ### 2/5 — One thing I’ll say *2024-11-13, version 7* you did not cook ### 3/5 — Ужас игра *2024-10-29, version 7* Звуки ужас, идея у растения против зомби украдена растений мало, а так норм ### 1/5 — 1 điểm *2024-09-18, version 7* Bắt chước bản gốc thôi mà cũng ko làm đc, chịu á. 2 từ : Dở Tệ ### 4/5 — Easy *2024-09-02, version 7* Game is decent and easy, but gets boring after beating the whole game. Ignore other negative reviews they have skill issue, you don’t have to watch ads for more sun. ### 3/5 — I don’t like the game it’s too hard😡😡 *2024-08-27, version 7* But I got to say, the first few levels were kind of fun ### 1/5 — Обман 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😢😢😢😢 *2024-06-28, version 6.1* Украли идею у растения против зомби и у растения против зомби 2 Растений мало , плохо 😡😢🙁👎 ### 1/5 — Всё плохо *2024-05-30, version 6.1* Это просто худшая игра а звуки ад ### 2/5 — A slightly entertaining disappointment *2024-05-29, version 6.1* I fully completed this game, there are 46 levels with 18 plants to unlock and use. When I first started I noticed how cheap and bad it looked, the music was abhorrent and the goblin noises destroyed my ears. Every level has a formula, the first two will show off a new goblin then the standard one, until around level 32 where I guess the creator gave up making levels and just copy pasted level 32 to 46. This game does have a FEW upsides, the plants all look unique and some didn’t look half bad. Plants are divided in four groups: range/lobbers (no difference between the two), melee, instants, then miscellaneous with things like 1 sun producer, 1 blocker, and one specialized plant used to kill one specific goblin. The goblins are less diverse with there only being three types: slow walkers, slow flyers, and phasers with the only difference between them being animation, art, and some stat changes except for phasers which just walk through your plants so you have to kill them quickly. This game is quite hard, giving you barely anytime to get sun without the use of stalling. If for whatever reason you’re interested in this, play till level 32 then save yourself the trouble, there’s no final boss or ending cutscene. ☹️ ### 3/5 — not bad. *2024-02-12, version 6.1* It just feels like PvZ 1 but a bit slower. ### 4/5 — Inconsistent branding led to the revolutionizing of boxes *2023-12-22, version 6.1* When I was 7 years old, my pet wall kicked 🦵 me out of my shoe 👞 I was casted into my dentist’s 🦷 🌞 cupcake machine, until my life changed. Mr. Frunk stabbed a wall made of sunlight 😔 so it would give him dominoes. Brent 👋 screamed, “Never say triple summer 🤶 salute sausage pancake at 13:61 AM!!” I never learned to skate board, but my Rottweiler burnt my green 😠 Mercedes’ to a crisp. That is why Plants vs Goblins is better than Angry Tomatoes. 🍅 AMAZING GRAPHICS, ORIGINAL 😟 GAMEPLAY, OF COURSE IT’S ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER ALONGSIDE, “Scary Baby in house 3” 👌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — i hate dis *2026-03-07, version 7* Dis is a bad pvz ripoff ### 1/5 — Giở Vl *2025-11-14, version 7* Game như đb ấy chán VL , ae đừng chơi /:( ### 1/5 — copy *2025-10-22, version 7* this just a copy of the real game plants vs zombies and and this game stinks ### 1/5 — Noooo *2025-10-15, version 7* So my kids get this game Play one level and the game said error and my kid starts flooding in the air and plants start growing out of the screen into the floor 1/10 ### 1/5 — Карина ❤️❤️❤️ *2025-08-29, version 7* Очень ужасно солнышки редко появляются ужас я не советую эту игру вообще дома это какие-то овощи вообще взяли идею у оригинала 🤬😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — PvZ copy *2025-07-24, version 7* Just Pvz on a 10 dollar budget 1 star devs did not even try ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS GAME IT DOESNT NEED TO EXIST!! *2025-06-08, version 7* THIS GAME IS A CHEEP RIP OFF OF PLANTS VS ZOMBIES..

BUT THIS GAME IS GARBAGE!!!🗑️ any one who reads this just download plants vs zombies (PvZ) instead ### 1/5 — Basura *2025-03-21, version 7* Es muy malo,de lo peor no lo recomiendo y es poco pero muy poco pesado como si fuera un virus y es muy difícil plantas inútiles y muy difícil concegir soles y los de las buenas calificaciones son los que no an jugado o conocido a plantas vs Zombis y lo jugué solo porque no puedo jugar pvz (es la abreviación de plantas vs zombis)es que no tengo los iOS y plantas vs zombis tiene una parte 2 y es genial ( este juego Plants vs globin no )y no necesita 44 partes para ser mejor y resadorayores si lo leen su juego sería un poco bueno si lo unieran con pop cap y ea ósea pvz porque lo único bueno son los diseños de las plantas es magnífico que talento eso es lo único bueno de este juego y le daría una estrella si le añadieran mas opciones como es mercado y eso y por último el cambio de idioma y si lo asen le daría 2 estrellas si me prestan atención lo agradecería gracias (editado) porque este juego sigue en el mercado (editado otra ves xd)le puse una estrella porque no me deja poner cero ### 1/5 — Chê *2025-01-30, version 7* Mới chơi không có gì thú vị ### 1/5 — Như *2025-01-05, version 7* Bó tay ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS AWSOME🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 *2025-05-23, version 7* when i first downloaded this game i was at school and just messing around with my friends and we were looking for a dumb game to play so we searched plants vs zombies and scrolled down and found this game i was the only one that found it awsome and downloaded it and i started playing and showed my friends and they played it and now every thursday we come to one of our houses and play plants vs goblins 4 for at least 1 hour each and just laugh about random stuff over all if a dev is reading this keep up the good work and don't listen to the haters ### 5/5 — I hATE THIS GAME *2025-03-26, version 7* Plants va Goblins 5 was a brilliant gameplay experience. Completely bug free, beautiful hyper realistic graphics, and a very original gameplay loop. Help. I cannot recommend this enough as it was my favourite of all of them all and it is one I love. Overall, I cannot express how average fruit gobbling -17.5i was, and I wholeheartedly recommend the best fruit. P.s. I found the goblins in this game to be a poor representation of goblins with many negative stereotypes, you should be ashamed. 😶‍🌫️ ### 5/5 — The other Best game ever made *2024-11-14, version 7* That’s what I call the other masterpiece ### 5/5 — Is a game ig *2024-05-22, version 6.1* Kinda game its cool ig.

I even got her boyfriend playing it. game of the year!! ### 5/5 — esta bien perro *2023-10-14, version 6.1* es la mera vena esta conmadre ### 5/5 — AWESOME. JUST AWESOME *2023-09-26, version 6.1* After my wife divorced me i was always drinking and smoking and going down a very dark path. I was hurting myself on the daily and hating my life after she left me. One day when i was headed to the liquor store and i saw some little kid playing a game on his moms phone, I went up and asked the little kid what game he was playing, the kid said “I’m play plants vs gobwins 4” and I asked the kid if i could try playing, and to my surprise the kid said yes!. So my first game was really tuff but i liked it for some weird reason, I was about to beat the level and then the mom came up and started yelling at my saying i’m a gross perv or somthing like that but I just really loved the game. I went home and instantly downloaded that game, when I tell you that I loved that game, I LOVED THAT GAME!! Those sexy little goblins were so hot and just begging to be killed by the plants. MANNNNN those plants turned me on so much dude it was insane!! After I beat the game I looked up the game online and i found a women who was posting videos of her playing the game. I messaged her and we got to talking, we really hit it off!! Eventually I asked her out onto a date and she was the most beautiful girl i had ever seen and she was only like 250lb and really short!! Honestly her weight and size really turned me on… like to the max. She looked exactly like one of those sexy little goblins!! We got to the date and we really liked each other, after the date I invited her back to my place where we got down and dirty, if you know what i mean. While we were doing it I was really into it if you know, I asked her to put on a “Plants vs Goblins costume” BROOOOOOOO that costume turned me on so much, once we started going again I busted so hard just thinking about that tight gobussy. So after that she messaged me like a few weeks later saying she was pregnant, I was shocked. I was only 20 years old at the time but I was ready for it. I was ready to have a kid. Months go by and finally we have the kid. the kid looked EXACTLY like a goblin from this game. I was so happy. SO HAPPY. and now my kid is 10 years old and he’s very happy and fat! 10/10 game go and play!!!! ### 5/5 — Truly amazing *2023-09-26, version 6.1* this game helped me get through a tough time in life where i was getting bullied by overweight kids for being underweight. they rammed my head into a toilet seat and make me drink toilet water. They also stole my food and beat me up. This game helped me escape the brutal torture i faced everyday from the bullies. As i defend my house against the sexy goblins it makes me feel happy in many ways. I love this game. ### 5/5 — this game is good *2023-09-09, version 6.1* This game is just plants vs zombies but better ### 5/5 — Simplemente magnifico 👍 *2023-08-13, version 6.1* Esta muy divertido y me entretiene un buen rato --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
