### 3/5 — Updates

It’s a great game heck i’d even spend money to play more but it just doesn’t get any updates making it seem abandoned and dead

### 4/5 — 인앱 구매 복원하여 다시 하고싶은데

*2025-05-03*

2025년 현재 인앱 결제쪽에 문제가 있는것같습니다.
구매도 안되고 구매복구도 안되네요

### 4/5 — 还不错

*2024-04-12, version 1.089*

但第50波的怪物强的离谱，血条长度几乎和我屏幕一样，打了两次都打不过，未免太离谱

### 4/5 — Need an option to keep aspect ratio

*2023-01-17, version 1.089*

Please we need this option because every circle is oval and look stretched

### 5/5 — I hope for more games like this

*2022-11-03, version 1.089*

Wonderful game! My only wish is that there were more cards. It runs great and each class’s gameplay is significantly different

### 4/5 — Love it

*2022-08-21, version 1.089*

This game has given me 100s of hours of fun,
But recently i had uninstalled it to try and fix a bug and when i came back in I my stuff was gone. I pressed the restore purchases button and nothing happened.

### 3/5 — Cant buy leaders?

*2022-08-14, version 1.089*

Great game but won’t let me buy leaders anymore??

### 2/5 — Fun, but broken

*2022-08-02*

What is available is fun. Played a year ago and bought one of the leaders. The game got deleted and reinstalled. The bought leader is no longer available. Fine, I’ll buy it again and some other leaders. It will not let me buy any. Where the buy button should be, it is blank. Can only play the 2 free leaders. Already checked my account settings to allow in-app purchases. Wouldn’t recommend this game unless you are happy with only having 2 leaders.

### 5/5 — 재밌어요 근데 몇가지 조작하는 방식을 수정해주셨으면…

*2022-07-09*

아주 재밌게 플레이했는데요. 수정해주시면 좋겠는 부분이 있습니다. 카드 사용할 때 위로 끌어올려서 사용하게 하는데 생각보다 불편하네요. 더블클릭 방식으로 바꿔주셨으면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 길이 길어지면 끝과 끝으로 한번에 가는 버튼 말고도 방어벽 기준 한칸씩 이동하는 버튼도 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 패드로 하는데 둘러보려고 이리저리 화면 끄는게 생각보다 번거롭고 방어벽이 같으면 헷깔리기도 해서요.ㅎㅎ 개인적인 의견이었습니다. 재밌는 게임 만들어주셔서 감사합니다

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2022-05-27, version 1.089*

I’ve been waiting to play this game and when I try to load the game it just says loading and exits to my Home Screen. Please fix this. I’m on iPad btw.

### 5/5 — 아이패드랑 아이폰 연동 안되나요?

*2022-05-02*

아이패드랑 아이폰 둘다 설치해서 해보았는데 같은계정임에도 연동은 안되는것 같더군요
아직 2일차라 조금 어렵지만 정말 재미있게 즐기고 있습니다

### 5/5 — Can’t Stop Playing!

*2022-04-22*

I’m assuming this game was created by a small team of developers. You made a truly unique, gem of a game. It does crash about every one in 10 play throughs, always right before a large wave of enemies. But since this looks like a small company, and can be fixed, I’m still giving it 5 stars. Take a chance and play this game.

### 1/5 — Halo dev, you still there?

*2026-07-29, version 1.089*

Clearly looking at the new comment section purchasing don’t work and it’s been like that for years, so any chance it will be fix soon? But again it’d been a whole year no fix so something gota be on lol

### 1/5 — buying leaders doesn’t work

*2026-04-30, version 1.089*

I recently attempted to buy the shaman and navigator leader packs just to receive not a damn thing

### 1/5 — In app purchases don’t work

*2026-01-09, version 1.089*

I have attempted to purchase content in this game, it eats my money and doesn’t unlock the content. The game itself is actually really good but that kind of practice is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — I love this game but I can’t restore purchases

*2025-06-25, version 1.089*

This game is a five star game, but for some reason I can’t restore purchases for the leaders so when I reinstalled the game I can only play with the base two. When I try to repurchase the leaders they say I already own them. I’m desperate to return to one of my favourite games :(

### 1/5 — Scam, do not make any purchases

*2025-05-23, version 1.089*

I bought all but one of the generals. I had to re-install the game and there is no way to restore my purchased generals. Even though there is a button for it, it does not work.

### 1/5 — Can’t unlock heroes.

*2022-07-08, version 1.089*

There is no option to unlock heroes for me. I’m on an iPhone 13 pro max. 
I tried deleting the game and reinstalling, but there still isn’t an option to unlock heroes AND I lost all my progress with the first 2. 

I was more than willing to give money to unlock the shaman, but not now.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2022-04-09, version 1.089*

I was looking forward to this but it kept crashing

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2022-03-26, version 1.089*

Don’t work in iPhone 7 crash 💥

### 1/5 — Sorry :/

*2022-03-06, version 1.089*

I would be more than happy to give it 5 stars only if the game worked I’ve tried everything but I sorry to say it but I won’t play a game that I can’t play LITERALLY mainly because EVERY time I TRY to make a new settle menu even with or without tutorial I crashes during the loading screen and I’m tired of it so until further notice I gonna uninstall the game sorry I hope you fix this soon cause it’s a game I would really enjoy

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-02-19, version 1.089*

The game looks very good but It crashes as soon as it is supposed to start, truly a shame a large amount of people will just not be able to play this

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Pretty enjoyable game but…

*2026-07-17, version 1.089*

This game is pretty fun to play, however it occasionally crashes after an hour or so, luckily the game manages to save your progress (most of the time). But besides the occasional crash this game is flawless 👍! Thank you developers (and everyone else who worked on this game).

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-06-15*

다른사람들이 어렵다 어렵다 하는데 어려운 거 없음, 오히려 처음에 그냥주는 2개 팩션은 개사기 수준, 유일한 단점은 ui 가 컴퓨터 용이라 그런지 클릭이 힘든거 뿐

### 5/5 — 결제오류

*2025-04-24*

광고제거랑 새로운 지도자 6600원 결제했는데 적용이 되지 않네요 확인부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — Fire game

*2025-04-01, version 1.089*

🔥🔥

### 5/5 — 没有中文，进不去

*2024-08-27, version 1.089*

玩不了

### 5/5 — Please port Ratopia

*2024-02-29, version 1.089*

I’m hoping to see Ratopia on iOS soon!

### 5/5 — Crash

*2023-09-21, version 1.089*

When I try to load a match to start the game it automatically crashes in loading screen

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-08-27, version 1.089*

Fun and challenging take on tower defence.  Can play the full game for free.  IAP for different heroes, but you get two for free. 
 *** my phone required nearly 5gb of free space to play the game, contrary to the 3gb indicated in description

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-08-14, version 1.089*

Love the game and this style is so unique it’s hard to find. Many games are copies but this game build is unique love it. Unlocked everything for achievements and two leaders but unable to purchase any more I want to throw money at this game please!

### 5/5 — 잘만든 게임

*2023-01-27*

슬더스같은 로그라이크 카드게임 좋아하는데 이것도 재밌습니다
