Then about 6+ months ago. I signed into the game, and EVERYTHING was gone. By cards, level, and everything in between, and yes that includes money spent. I emailed the company asking for help to restore my account, and never heard back. I don’t know why my account was wiped, or why I didn’t get help restoring it. So, if you want to take the chance and lose money on a game that you sign into, and find all your hard work gone. Go for it ### 3/5 — Dear future Card Defender… *2023-04-14, version 1.0.41* I am Crxzy. Long time player of RNG based games like this and Random Dice. Before you download this, you should know a few things. 1. Bots This game uses many bots as opponents instead of real players. You do occasionally get a real player to play against. However, in my experience 75% of the games i have played have been with or against bots. This makes sense as the game may not have a strong playerbase and must be bloated in order to actually let players play the game. The problem here is that the bots use more or less the same deck. Making gameplay very easy and repetitive. FOR DEVS: Some improvements i would suggest to this system, if you must keep bots in the game: first make the decks variety. Dont have 3 or 4 set decks they always use. Second, make the game prioritize real players over bots. If a real human is available to match with, then match both humans together. If a human is not available in a specific amount of time (30 seconds as example) then start the match with a bot. 2. This game is a copy of Random Dice. It plays the exact same way, however it has something Random Dice does not. Heroes. These heroes will get an ability that can aid in gameplay such as, upgrading towers, stopping enemies, giving money, clearing the battlefield, etc. these heroes however are not unique to the game. If you play Random Dice you may notice similarities between some heroes and some dice. 3. There is a clearly defined meta. In my opinion the Meta is the Heart, Starving Eagle, and Chariot cards with the Heart Queen hero. The reason i think this is the hard defined meta is because of the existence of the heart queen, and the nit so randomness of Balans upgrade Abilities. Balan will have a high chance of upgrading the bottom corners of your board. Which coincidentally happen to be where the Chariot resides when giving the Critical Chance buff. The bots i spoke about before have decks that will usually support the heart chariot meta. 4. No Developer Intervention. I have not had to update this game at all since i first downloaded it. The gameplay does not change as you climb in trophies. The game as it was a year ago is the exact same as it is now. By all definitions of the word. The game is dead. I have been playing this game for a few years at this point. I don't play often because the gameplay is stale and in serious need of an update. I don't mind that its a Random Dice clone. It takes RD and spins the concept into its own thing. Giving players a nice change from the harsh gameplay RD may have. If you enjoy manipulating RNG in a chill and relaxing way then this is a good game. Its fun to play on the toilet. Now this part is for the development team behind the game. First, i want to say that this game has potential. If the game was updated regularly and didn't feel like a useless cash grab, i wouldn't be so harsh on it. I have some notes i want to put out there to make the game better. - The bots are ridiculous. Tone it down a bit. - Add new cards and heroes, unique cards. You can still rip them from other games but get creative. - You could even rip the battlefields from RD and add those. - I would also suggest increasing your budget for marketing. If you dont want the bots being the main playerbase you need real people to play. Market to those people so you can dissolve the overwhelming number of bots. - Balance changes are needed to alot of the cards so the meta isnt just 1 deck. The cards need to be balanced so multiple metas can exist to counter each other. - If you care about the game, update it. If money is what you want, then update it. Keeping your game upto date in not only features but the overall style and theme goes a long way into securing a loyal playerbase. Loyal players mean consistent money. Caring about the state of your game will make you profit. How much do you actually make from this. Im betting its not much. Imagine you have 5,000 concurrent players online at any given point. Now imagine that 5% of that 5k buys the season pass every season. That alone probably increases your profit margin by 100%. Obviously i don't know the numbers but i can take an estimated guess based on my experience and the stats of the game. I will be uninstalling this game because it is simply just boring. It feels like it was made by a Random Dice fan who only used the Gear Dice and wanted it to be useful. So he created a game exactly like RD and made the heart OP so he could feel good about himself. This has been Crxzy, with the definitive review for the game. Should you play it? Yes, you should at least try it. Do not buy anything you see until the developers update and maintain the game. Scale 1 - 10? 7 at first, now a 4. ### 4/5 — Good random defence game *2021-08-13* While the game is decent, it makes promises it scarcely delivers on, party mode can indeed drop a legendary card, but the chances are dishearteningly low in my experience. ### 4/5 — Très fun *2021-02-21, version 1.0.38* Le jeu au début était pas mal buggé mais avec les dernières mise à jour ça a corrigé beaucoup de problème. Les pouvoirs des cartes sont sympa et originaux et changent un peu des classiques du genre ### 4/5 — Keeps freezing *2021-01-26, version 1.0.34* Seems like each battle it ends with a freeze and disconnect. And collecting trophy progress rewards causes it to freeze. I still get everything and the game itself is fun enough but it is super annoying to have to keep reloading the game ### 5/5 — Spirit *2021-01-24, version 1.0.34* Yo, can I get spirit I wanna get him and Ive been playing awhile. My username is: POPA99 ### 3/5 — Decent *2021-01-22, version 1.0.34* Horrible game for ftp players. The legendary card drop rates are extremely low so if you aren’t planning to spend $30 for 2 legendaries, don’t get this game. ### 3/5 — Broken *2021-01-19, version 1.0.34* I bought a pack and it said successful but I did not receive the pack ### 4/5 — Love it. One request *2021-01-13, version 1.0.33* Love the game but my favorite mode is coop and the last update made it so that I can’t refresh my coop tickets with diamonds. Only with ads. But I don’t want to watch ads. I would rather buy diamonds. Pleas bring back ability to buy more coop runs with diamonds! ### 2/5 — Pas mal mais bug *2020-12-27, version 1.0.30* Le jeu est bien mais il y a beaucoup de bug à corriger car ça nous fait perdre a chaque fois. ### 4/5 — Good game *2020-12-25, version 1.0.30* Took all my gokd. Why? Had 110k+ ### 5/5 — Good game, unique and fun game. *2020-12-21, version 1.0.29* Really an excellent game, some things seemed foreign and the many ways you get free things through achievements is different than every game I’ve played but plentiful. The only thing that might be an issue is some cards may be more to powerful but that’s usually addressed overtime and as an update was recent this will be addressed. To me this is a new gaming experience that has great replay ability, and I hope more will come. Last addition to review, now that I understand this game completely and learned all you are to do it’s an excellent game. Love how the battles take place how you up grade the cards, the cards themselves and the skills that each card has and the game strategy that is key to advancement. And I really that you team up with strangers (or friends) for battles. Excellent game great competition. Additionally was a huge fan and was excited about the event but the event destroys me the gamble cards are fair you understand when you see it what to expect but in part of the event my cards are destroyed every time without fail never once has my card been raised always destroyed I thought it was in balance some of my cards are destroyed some of my opponents but no just mine. I loaded my board to only watch this when that round was over half my board was gone not a single card from my opponent. Over the course of one day it went from a fun game that was relaxing to something that makes me angry. It must a glitch but it is what it is. Also the cards seem less powerful yet I saw nothing to explain this. Absolutely no point in playing head to head no matter what I do I lose. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2020-12-18, version 1.0.28* Would like to be able to delete cards in part mode tho ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — тупо слетает донат) *2022-08-19, version 1.0.41* Заплатил за пропуск кристаллов, на последний день вылезла ошибка сети и не дали алмазы ### 1/5 — На старом андроиде идёт, а на новом айфоне нет 👍 *2021-03-13, version 1.0.38* Игра классная, но на айфоне, который поддерживает игру, и на котором последняя установленная операционка, вылетает и после каждого пвп и после каждой рекламы. ### 1/5 — Cheated me out of my money!!! *2021-02-14, version 1.0.38* I brought the additional growth check in and never had a problem but on my last day for the legendary card it was working perfectly fine but once I clicked on it and said connection issues and froze on me. I go restart the app and now it says I have to buy it again and start all over on day 1. I didn’t have no problems ever till day 15 and that’s the only it ever did that. It did that to make me spend more money to get the legendary card. ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2021-01-22, version 1.0.34* This game is rigged... no strategy at all just P2W.... ### 1/5 — COPIA MAL RIUSCITA DI RANDOM DICE *2021-01-19, version 1.0.34* Che dire di questo gioco... Si tratta di una esatta copia del gioco RANDOM DICE che a parer mio è migliore, in questa versione l’unica cosa originale è la presenza degli eroi con abilità uniche x il resto le abilità delle carte sono identiche a tutte quelle già presenti in RANDOM DICE. Provato per un po’ di tempo e posso dire che pur essendo un gioco nel quale è possibile utilizzare soldi reali per ottenere dei vantaggi, non è presente nessun tipo di assistenza per far presente eventuali errori, bug o problemi e non è presente nemmeno nessun tipo di chat per poter chiedere info ai più esperti. Dopo un po di tempo che giocavamo sia a me che il mio amico ci appare la scritta che siamo stati bannati perchè utilizzatori di trucchi e programmi esterni al gioco, inutile dire che tutto questo è falso, il gioco è stato scaricato ed utilizzato esattamente così come era presente nello store. Con molta fatica ed impegno riesco ad ottenere il primo posto nella classifica Coop settimanale con il maggior numero di ondate ed il premio era una leggendaria.. anche in questo caso mai ricevuto nulla, solo un messaggio di scuse con 100 gemme dove c’era scritto che c’erano stati dei problemi (una leggendaria costa 2500 gemme quindi non credo sia equo darne solo 100 come scuse) Se guardi una pubblicità prima della partita ti da il 30% in più di ticket x acquistare una cassa.. anche in questo caso molte volte quel 30% in più se lo tenevano loro... Tutti questi problemi e tanto altro senza poter parlare con uno dell’assistenza... Insomma... copia davvero mal riuscita del gioco RANDOM DICE presente ormai già da tempo sullo store con la totale assenza di supporto e player bannati senza nessun motivo è/o spiegazione... Spero almeno che mi diano una bella ricompensa per scusarsi nella speranza di convincermi a continuare con questa mediocre copia. ### 1/5 — Не работает игра. *2021-01-15, version 1.0.34* Разработчики, почему игра на Андроид работает как ракета и всё хорошо, а на IOS всё ужасно??? Большинство карт не рабочие, а противники это боты. Займитесь игрой! ### 1/5 — Netzwerkfehler *2020-12-14, version 1.0.27* Spiel startet seit dem letzten Update nicht mehr ### 1/5 — Server instabile *2020-12-11, version 1.0.25* Supporto inesistente sconsiglio di giocare a questo gioco pieno di bug , è da una settimana che su iOS da problemi e al posto di risolvere fanno uscire giochi nuovi pessimi. VI CONSIGLIO DI NON SCARICARE QUESTO GIOCO ### 1/5 — Баги *2020-12-08, version 1.0.25* Игра ужасная , не могу играть так как один моб передвигается с бесконечной жизнью , и просто забирает жизни моего героя сколько бы карт в него не стреляли , огромный минус . ### 1/5 — БАГ *2020-12-06, version 1.0.25* Исправьте БАГ пж!!!!! Поставлю 5 звёзд) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-08-19, version 1.0.41* It’s fantastic, but WE NEED MORE CARDS ### 5/5 — Я я я я *2022-11-20, version 1.0.41* Всё чудесно игра супер единственное что сервер иногда стигает ### 5/5 — Great game! *2022-03-05, version 1.0.40* Trophy rewards are more than fair. No big losing costs. My favorite part is battles pair me up with 4+ level opponent, when I co-op,I get matched with a partner 10 levels lower. Randomly predictable. Makes me want to dump my whole bank account into it!!! Lol. ### 5/5 — Anmeldung/Start *2021-10-12, version 1.0.40* Falls ihr es nicht starten könnt loggt euch über „Gast“ ein ### 5/5 — Le seul qui ose prendre des risques *2021-09-08, version 1.0.39* Si vous aimez les jeux random alors vous adorerez celui là, pour moi il est excellent car c’est le seul qui ose prendre des risques en créant de nouvelles unités et de nouveaux héros là où les autres se contentent de se copier les uns et les autres bien sûr il y a une part de copie mais il reste tout de même beaucoup plus créatif que les autres. Il y a aussi des points noirs bien évidemment mais pour moi le plus gros est le prix des différents objets en argent réel par exemple le passe Premium à 20 € ?!! c’est beaucoup trop ### 5/5 — Love this game *2021-08-28, version 1.0.39* I love it, I have been playing for awhile now and I tried to find something better and I just can’t. ### 5/5 — Need More *2021-03-07* First, I love the game, and think it’s better then random dice. I would like to see more bosses, and arenas also. It would also be nice to have a friends list to coop easier then having to put in the random code each time because it’s not always easy to share that code. The balance between the cards, and everything else is great also. Just wish updates and release where faster. 😀 ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-02-10, version 1.0.38* Verry good ### 5/5 — Баги пофиксили *2021-02-01, version 1.0.37* После патчей стало играбельно :) ### 5/5 — Отличная игра *2021-01-28, version 1.0.36* Отличная игра. Были баги, но их исправили. Сделан хороший перевод на русский. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
