### 5/5 — So addicting!

*2023-12-11, version 1.5.1*

This is definitely a 10/10 game I’ve been playing for a week now and can’t get enough of it!

### 1/5 — This game could have been great

*2023-11-29, version 1.5.1*

If they would fix the bug that kicks you out of hellmode… why is this important? Great question- it gives you the most cash so you can build your castle. I have been stuck on stage 1000 and even though I have bought every castle and upgrade as often as I can it’s not enough. For weeks I have just been getting my daily gold, and watching videos and I just can’t move at all.

### 1/5 — Poorly supported

*2023-11-26, version 1.5.1*

For something with a lot of potential it’s clearly poorly supported. 

According to the developers they answer 100% of all emails which is clearly false given the silence I have received twice now.

It’s frustrating as a consumer when you want to support a developer with in app purchases and try to do so only for the promised purchased rewards to never materialize. The developer is happy to process your payment and take your money however.

I’d avoid until things improve.

### 1/5 — I like the game

*2023-10-06, version 1.5*

I like this game, but I’ve contacted them several times about hellmode and it still hasn’t been fixed. I’m disappointed that this problem could go on for so long and it still not be fixed.

### 1/5 — Game won’t start since last update

*2023-09-21, version 1.5*

Since the latest update, the game just locks up when I try to start it.  I can restart my IPad, have nothing else running, but it just won’t work.  Please address this so I can keep playing!

### 5/5 — 值得推荐

*2023-07-31, version 1.4*

非常喜欢，放置式游戏可以边玩边看；就是还能再增加点rpg元素就好了；

### 4/5 — Interesting and fun

*2023-07-04, version 1.3*

Once you get used to how it plays it is both challenging enough to keep your interest and easy to put down when life calls,…I like it!

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-06-26, version 1.2.2*

Fun

### 5/5 — Stage Lands

*2023-06-26, version 1.2.2*

Best Game Ever‼️‼️

### 4/5 — Not Perfect but It’s a Really Fun Little Game

*2023-06-25, version 1.2.2*

The good:
- It’s not pay to play or pay to win.  You can easily play this game without paying anything.
- The different upgrade mechanics are fun and make you feel like your decisions matter.
- It’s a refreshing twist on the tower defense type games.
- The game gives you a lot of free resources and unlocks.

The bad(ish):
- The game is a bit of an ad simulator without the Pro upgrade BUT with the Pro upgrade the game feels much better.
- The game can feel a little repetitive at times.
- The price of stuff in the store is a bit high considering how much stuff there is to purchase.

Overall, it’s fun and worth at least one purchase to support the devs.
