Also stackable, so if I watched tons of ads I’d get multiple speed increases. ### 2/5 — Purchases *2025-10-18, version 180* Game charges more than it says, for example it says 9.99 and charges 11 ### 2/5 — P2w *2025-10-14, version 180* El juego es muy pay to win, es imposible pasar la primera dificultad sin hacer millones de progresos o metiendo dinero, es super tardado y las mejoras van mal. ### 2/5 — My opinion *2025-04-27, version 173* The idea of the game is quite interesting, but have same huge issues. 1. Some times you have to play 1h straight only one game, it’s trash make it faster. 2. Why i just can’t use 1 tower, instead of 4 different that you need to buy for tone of resources and spend a bunch of gold and gems (and also can put only 1 at the time-boring). 3. Genuinely can not play without donate, a tone of add for almost 0 resources. 4. Cannot pause the game. 5. Have to collect gold every 2 hours, make it 24 at least. Final though - it doesn’t worth your time. ### 2/5 — Не работает после рекламы *2025-04-25, version 173* Посмотрел рекламу, приложение установлено было на мак бук. После просмотра нельзя выйти с рекламы, при выходе из игры и повторном заходе реклама не исчезает! ### 2/5 — 返金お願いします。 *2025-04-15, version 170* 1500円で　広告なしを購入しましたが反映されてません。 ### 1/5 — Greedy bast-res *2025-03-31, version 170* Really? 60 secs ads plus not appearing skip x for another 11 secs? Really disgusting ### 1/5 — 廣告設計漏洞 *2025-03-20, version 167* 廣告跳不過去，一直要我抽iphone????什麼鬼 ### 1/5 — 儲值兩次沒給槌子怎麼解釋？ *2025-01-15, version 164* 990✖️2？遊戲ID:s5ee43aa442 ### 1/5 — 顯示購買完成 卻領取不到任何東西 *2025-01-14, version 164* 2025/1/15購買兩次14.99（490台幣）勳章 顯示購買成功 簡訊也發了小額通知 卻領取不到任何東西 ### 1/5 — 不建議玩，更不要花錢 *2025-01-14, version 164* 如題，問題一堆，改善進度超級慢，不建議花錢，不值得，更新不通知，修改不說明，玩越久，受的氣越大！ ### 2/5 — Meh game, not really idle. *2025-01-08, version 162* Takes a bit to get to wave 80 to try to unlock towers, but to even build one takes 400 mats. The auto upgrade is obtained if you pay 100 for a lifetime pass, which would make the game an idle game. But still barely a tower defense. Because it takes days of playing to even build one. Ads are 30+sec which ruins the enjoyment. If the 10 bucks to avoid the ads had the auto function to upgrade to idle during the waves, or up the play speed 4x or 10x would be worth it. But 100, I would say buy a better fun game. Starting at wave 1 again over and over takes too much time playing, not idling. ### 2/5 — Ok, just really slow and no real fun. *2025-01-04, version 162* It could be fun, but so many ads and so slow of game play, no real game play it’s more of a pay to play tell your bored, or waste a lot of time tell you catch up. ### 3/5 — Ad issue *2024-12-20, version 161* Recently receiving ads wherein the "X" icon is not appearing ### 1/5 — 廣告不能靜音，差評👎 *2024-10-31, version 153* 廣告不能靜音，差評👎 ### 3/5 — Fallos al cargar *2024-10-30, version 153* Lleva 2 dias sin funcionarme el juego, no carga bien ### 1/5 — 為什麼大廳待機畫面一直破圖 更新完 重新下載 也都一樣 不處理一下嗎 *2024-10-30, version 153* 如上 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-12-24, version 182* Nothing like the adds ### 1/5 — พัฒานาช้ามากๆ *2025-11-27, version 182* เกมต้องใช้เวลาในการเล่นนานมากๆ ฟาร์มเงิน ฟาร์มไอเทม ดูโฆษณาเยอะมาก สายฟรี น่าเบื่อ สายเติม ราคาเติมก็ถือว่าสูงมาก การอัพเกรดแต่ละอย่าง ใช้เวลานาน แล้วผลที่ได้คือ หน้าตาเกมเดิมๆ ไม่มีอะแปลกใหม่ ฟาร์ม วน เจอแต่หน้าเกมเดิมๆ คือฟาร์มวนอย่างนั้น น่าเบื่อมาก ### 1/5 — Game error *2025-10-29, version 181* at 30 October 2025 ### 1/5 — Ad that won’t exit. *2025-09-19, version 180* Whatever ads pop up do not close and keep going. Game deleted good luck to those that play. ### 1/5 — Copy game *2025-08-23, version 179* Direct copy from idle the tower ### 1/5 — Scammed out of 12.99$ *2025-08-03, version 178* I purchased the no adds feature for the amount written above and got charged for the complete amount but literally didn’t get anything in return. Developers are happy to take your money without doing anything in return. Currently still filing reports against the game studio to get my money back along with solutions to this problem. ### 1/5 — Ptw *2025-05-21, version 174* They really pushing you to buy all those packages nonstop. ### 1/5 — Purchase *2025-05-15, version 174* I made purchase but I didn’t got my pack prizes!!! ### 1/5 — 하루 이틀용 모니터링시간아까움 *2025-05-08, version 173* 타임킬링이 아니라 내적 낭비 느낌ㅈㄴ든다. ### 1/5 — 好玩但是廣告很爛關不掉 *2025-04-20, version 171* 連結到網頁廣告無法關閉 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 通關金幣 *2025-07-15, version 178* 通關後金幣假如有20.00C結果看完廣告直接對半砍變10.00c麻煩看一下 ### 5/5 — Medal *2025-01-21, version 164* I bought a medal, but there's no change ### 5/5 — Last update *2024-12-17, version 159* Unfortunately after last update game stop working almost completely. Most stuff is giving me info “no data…” when I try tu enter to guild tab or play new events, email doesn’t work. I don’t know what happened guys but you need to check the game. Generally it’s nice game. ### 5/5 — Game is great *2024-08-21, version 145* I really enjoy this game. I bought the ad skip pack and it’s been great. They keep updating it and the guild addition is super helpful. I look forward to seeing what the devs add to the game. Also - the devs are quick to compensate with in game rewards for issues with the game. Seems like they actually care. ### 5/5 — Is app down? *2024-07-21, version 138* Game is great, but not working right now.

Thanks! ### 5/5 — 这游戏还行啊，但是怎么好像没什么人玩儿？ *2024-06-04, version 125* 玩起来很肝，慢慢养成的，但是里面啥都要花钱，有点无语，不然很难打高波数 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
