### 5/5 — Would be 5 stars if the upgrades worked!

*2022-11-06*

Cannot spend gems to upgrade weapons in order to be able to advance in the game. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Нет пояснений

*2021-08-26*

КАК ПРОЙТИ УРОВЕНЬ С НЕВИДИМЫМИ ЗВЕРЯМИ?!!!! Хоть бы написали, что делать!!!!! Никакое оружие не убивает их

### 5/5 — Fun but agree some sort of info about towers etc. needed

*2020-10-04*

I agree it gets annoying that you can no longer just pay a flat rate for most games to play, but at least this one wasn’t too bad compared to some. Really like the game. I think my hero levels arent working right since none of the upgrades are available when i play in that, but, based on the regular levels, it was fun.

### 5/5 — Update

*2020-06-10*

Can you add a help guide with all towers, enemies and spells?

### 5/5 — I enjoy this a lot!

*2019-10-30*

I saw a couple of reviews saying this was too difficult and I thought that seemed strange because I used to play this on PC & thoroughly enjoyed it. 
After playing through a dozen or so levels,  I didn’t find any difference between this mobile version and that.    This game is a great tower defense!  Once I understand how to buy the full version I’ll definitely purchase.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We'll continue our work to provide you with the best gaming experience. Enjoy your game! :)

### 2/5 — Беда

*2018-09-27*

Почему не могу использовать кристаллы ?

### 3/5 — Бага с апгрейдом

*2018-03-10*

Ребят, все классно! Но блин я не могу потратить кристаллы на апгрейд. Жмакаю на увеличение какого-то параметра на кнопку с ценой в кристаллах, она нажимается, но ничего не происходит! Поправьте плиз!

### 1/5 — Есть но...

*2018-02-17*

Сама игра 5 баллов, но донат не додуманный без бонусов... Готов отдавать и отдал 75 руб за восстановление бастиона, взамен  получил огромный шиш с маслом... Мотивации играть дальше 0. Тупо удаляю.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2018-02-10, version 1.1.7*

Plays fine, but there’s something off in the resolution - everything looks slightly blurry during game play. Audio is very repetitive.

### 1/5 — アホ

*2017-11-22*

難易度設定悪い上に課金誘導多すぎ。面白くない事は無いが。
