I recently re-downloaded to play again, but it says I need to purchase the full game. I want to purchase, but the download button won’t work. Can you please fix the purchase screen. I would love to keep playing. This is an otherwise great game. ### 5/5 — Wow *2014-01-30* Awesome ### 1/5 — Dull *2013-10-26* Dull tower defense style game, very low res, looks awful on retina display .. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed, don't do it!!! *2013-09-10* I downloaded this on my iPad and iPhone, but you have to pay twice, don't see why I should!!! Also played the PC game Orcs must die, this is nothing like it, very repetitive, no real strategy in it ### 2/5 — Fun but only a trial. *2013-07-28* It's a standard little game for the 10 minutes of play it offers before you gotta pay 1.99 to download the full version. Not worth 1.99 in my opinion. Graphics and gameplay are just not good enough to warrant a price tag... ### 1/5 — Full version is waste of money! *2013-04-01* Bought because I liked the pc game, orcs must die. Very disappointed, there is no challenge you basically use the same tactic over and over ... Very repetitive. only challenge is iphone 4 lag! ### 2/5 — Not really free *2013-03-26* This game is fun to play but that fun doesn't last very long: a couple of levels into the game you will be forced to either buy it for 2 dollars or stop playing, this is very annoying, especially the fact that they weren't upfront about it. ### 3/5 — Meeeehhh *2013-02-13* I'm 11 years old and found a spelling mistake in this app. Despite that, this game is ok gets a bit boring. Over and out humans Yours sincerely chinesedan. ### 4/5 — Not Free *2012-12-15* Falsely advertised as free but is really a limited trial. Great game if you don't mind buying, just like plants vs zombies. ## Frequently asked questions about Save The Orcs ### What is Save The Orcs about?
