U should add more weapons. It gets boring after a while. Please add something to spice it up a little. Pretty cool though.🙂 ### 4/5 — Game is fun *2016-09-07, version 1.4.0* This game is very fun to play. You can upgrade guns, it doesn't really require to you to pay for pay extra unless you want fast upgrade. Take one star off cause the game story didn't take long to finished. Overall, i would highly recommend this game to friends :) ### 3/5 — iaps ruin what would have been a great game *2016-08-27, version 1.4.0* OK i guess they deleted my detailed review, so I'll just say instead, no more Chillingo games for me. it would have been one of the best tower defense games ever, but instead they decided to ruin it with the in app purchase system. Stupid unbeatable bonus levels that require you to spend money after the game is already over just leave a bad taste in your mouth. If they had left those levels out, it would've been a great game, but now I kind of don't like it anymore. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-04-29, version 1.4.0* Have replayed through all the levels several times. It's a great twist on tower defense. ### 5/5 — READ THIS Before getting this amazing app *2016-03-06, version 1.4.0* This app is amazing! I completed all the levels in a little less then two days so it is a short game but the levels are all pretty challenging. If you actually want to beat the entire game then you need to get or complete all the levels and challenge levels get all the guns. If there were to be an update then please add some more levels. I highly recommend this game. It's great. It's hard to tell you all the good things about this game there just to many. If you get anything from this it should be GET THIS APP. ### 5/5 — Pies *2015-11-20, version 1.4.0* I want pies ### 5/5 — So cool!! *2015-11-14, version 1.4.0* Excellent game amazing just like the PC edition love it!! ### 5/5 — Love *2015-11-07, version 1.4.0* I love this game. More levels or a sequel would be nice. ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-10-10, version 1.4.0* Great game, could use more levels ### 3/5 — Worth playing! *2015-09-27, version 1.4.0* I got this game for free but I would have easily paid a couple bucks to buy. However, the game is a little annoying when it comes to a few things. I personally would like the ability to turn off "hint prompts"/tutorials. Finger recognition is poor and especially notable when using "the eye" super weapon. Also where is iCloud syncing? I want to play this on both my iPad and iPhone!! Lastly, add more music! Hearing the same tune over and over is painful. Overall I really enjoy the style and gameplay and look forward to continue playing ### 2/5 — Promising but ruined by IAP *2015-06-09, version 1.4.0* I liked this tower defense game for the first few hours. The art and overall style is charming and the mechanics are somewhat unique (focused on optimal timing of weapon reloading), although the variety and strategy are somewhat limited. After about level 14, however, I started feeling like the game was tuned more to get money from me and not for fun. When the levels get harder, you can't realistically replay earlier levels for points to upgrade your weapons--you'll get about 100 points for replaying a level but it costs thousands to level up your weapons. Super-powered weapons are introduced early in the game but the special, consumable, energy required to use them is doled out so frugally that you could easily use it up just learning how to use the weapons and have none when you really need it. There is no way to earn more of that energy without real money. Of course, it would be fair to say the game is just too challenging for me, but nonetheless, it feels like a game that lost its purpose somewhere on the hunt for in-app purchases. I've played and loved (and given 5 star ratings to) brutally difficult games that were fun even though I could never make it past the first few levels. I've spent hours perfecting runs and completing games that I probably should have given up on because they were just out of my league--but they were just so awesome. This is not one of those games. ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-05-19, version 1.4.0* This game is amazing its my love of steampunk and tower defence games so I love it ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2015-05-07, version 1.4.0* So fun!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2015-05-04, version 1.4.0* Make more !!! :D ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I lost 3 dollars *2020-05-01, version 1.6.0* I love this game and all of the turrets and challenging levels. Although I have attempted to buy one thing for a dollar and another for two dollars. Each time I had done so, my game crashed, my Apple ID said I lost that amount of money, but I hadn’t gotten any tower points. So don’t spend money on this if your planning to. ### 1/5 — Tease *2015-10-25, version 1.4.0* This game is great at first. It ends very quickly and there aren't any infinite levels. Don't spend any money for upgrades, you will simply end the game even earlier. Way too short and no replay potential. ### 1/5 — Broken game *2015-03-18, version 1.2.0* Won't progress further than level 2. Looks like it could have been a quality game ### 1/5 — Infinitely repeats level 2 *2015-03-14, version 1.2.0* Upon completing tutorial level two, the game resets and you start again, ad infinitum. Hoping for a bug fix. ### 1/5 — Bug *2015-03-09, version 1.2.0* Game won't proceed past level two... Disappointing as it is a very good game from what I can tell. Bug is for both iPhone 5 and I pad please fix as I wish very much to play more of what looks like a very addicting game ### 1/5 — Bug *2015-03-01, version 1.2.0* The game will not let me get past stage two but when I close out of the app it's like I'd never opened it before and am having to do stage one again also if I exit out of stage two the same thing happens ### 1/5 — Second level bug *2015-02-26, version 1.2.0* After beating the second level, it shows the same text and makes me upgrade the machine gun again and sends me back to level 2 again. It just keeps looping and no progress is actually saved. I've beaten the second level at least 5 times before closing the game and then starting from the beginning to do the same again. Please fix this bug since the game looks very promising. ### 1/5 — Bug *2015-02-22, version 1.2.0* fix level 2 pls the upgrade is not working 😭😭 ### 1/5 — Third Level? *2015-02-13, version 1.2.0* The second level just repeats itself over and over again plz fix. ### 1/5 — Level 2upwards issue *2015-02-05, version 1.2.0* Can't get passed level 2 .continuous loop . Not good ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loved the game *2025-03-20, version 1.6.0* Honestly the only times I ever had to use the super abilities (besides when they force you too for tutorials or because some challenge levels make you use them and give you free ones) was one steam ray level 15 and two electrical discharges on level 20, and I didn’t pay for those becuase I had beaten every challenge level up to that point so I had plenty, and yes, it IS possible to beat all normal levels while getting gold tower without super abilities, only one time did I even have to backtrack to do that, and all the challenge levels are possible as well. End note: great game, super fun, great graphics and great enemy design, just wish they kept the OG soundtrack. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2022-03-13, version 1.6.0* Nice tower game, with a classic style, it also has a continuation, very cool. ### 5/5 — This game is great *2022-03-12, version 1.6.0* I like the game and can you add that you can play as a airship as well as the sword carrier pls ok ### 5/5 — Great game must play *2019-04-12, version 1.6.0* I downloaded this game on my last device which was broke but I completed the game I was sitting here 12:42 AM and I was just like steampunk tower was a good game and got it back but please add a endless mode and the unit idea is great to please add these features because over all the games great but I would love more content ### 5/5 — Amazing game keep it up *2018-04-22, version 1.6.0* Keep it up and love it so much please update and add more content please and amazing game well done I like the new idea of the game and really like how it’s done ### 5/5 — Ideas *2017-12-17, version 1.6.0* I love this game but I think you guys could add a endless mode that would make me love it even more me and my friend compete with each other who can win level 20 with the least amount of bots but if you add endless mode it will give us a chance to really compete and for others to have fun ### 5/5 — Good but *2017-07-13, version 1.6.0* Good but can you add units to send from the steampunk tower you can pick a unit to send out to fight the enemy. Make them the units that the enemy has ### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful Game! *2017-05-28, version 1.6.0* The graphics are stunning, gameplay is addicting and delivered extremely well. I absolutely adore this game 5/5 A+ ### 5/5 — Unique game *2017-01-21, version 1.4.0* This game is unique unlike other games on the AppStore which copy each other (not all of them, but some of them).There is a good amount of enemy type.I have played it for 1 year now and I still enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2017-01-16, version 1.4.0* Don't know what people are complaining about. You don't need to pay to complete the game. Just replay until you've gotten gold in all the levels. You can reset the upgrades if you've made a mistake. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
