### 2/5 — 2000 niveau jours????

*2024-10-16, version 1.8.44*

Les missions pour l’or sont maintenant impossible. Je ne détruit même pas un coffre. Faut revoir votre façon de faire pour ces missions svp. et faut changer de devoir faire 2000 niveau jour faut laisser allumer le cell toute la journée . Je suis blazer déjà malgré que je jeu soit amusant

### 4/5 — Good but memory leak

*2022-09-23, version 1.8.4*

About two hours of continuous gameplay and the fps starts rapidly dropping. Consistently. iPhone overheats when this starts as well. I can run other high requirement games just fine, but this one has to have a memory leakage somewhere.

### 3/5 — Great game, later bug

*2020-08-12*

I have been loving this game. In terms of idle games, this has been the first one I haven’t moved on from after a few weeks of mindless play. It’s engaging and thoughtful when you want to play, but you’re not losing out on a ton of stuff when you’re busy and don’t have time to play. It’s also not in your face with ads. You can watch ads to collect gems which will help you get ahead, but they’re not constantly forcing you to watch. 

That being said, I’ve finally made it past level 2500, but the achievements doesn’t recognize that I’ve long ago passes this bar. whenever I pass that point(even from the first time) the achievement pops up but a server error pops up when I try to claim. Quite annoying because I used that achievement to keep track of my highest level reached. 

Keep on with the good stuff!

### 5/5 — Perfect.

*2020-02-10*

I love you games, Mobirix.

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2019-05-17, version 1.4.1*

Not bad for afk game

### 4/5 — Keine Anpassung für Iphone X

*2019-05-13*

Der Titel sagt alles bitte verbessert dass ansonsten gut.

### 5/5 — Languages

*2019-05-01*

Russian language please!!!

### 3/5 — Zu viel Premium

*2019-04-19*

Das Spiel ist ordentlich gemacht, aber wenn man sich alleine die Angebotenen „Pakete“ anschaut, wo man kräftig sparen soll, dann zeigt sich, dass ihr gierig seid ohne Ende und versucht aus den wenigen Käufern die ihr habt, soviel wie möglich rauszuquetschen. Preise sind viel zu hoch, ihr seid kein top tier open world mmorpg sondern ein kleines towerdefense/ endlosklicker Spiel...

### 4/5 — Recent patch issue

*2018-11-02, version 1.2.4*

Great fun game but recent patch reset the tutorial and now I have to press a spot in the screen that isn’t active... can’t progress...

### 5/5 — Ayuda

*2018-10-09, version 1.2.2*

Primeramente saludos, le escribo por que acabo de perder mi partida guardada, todos mis logros se perdieron y es algo bien difícil. Acabo de borrar la app y la volver a bajar haber si se soluciona el problema 😅

### 5/5 — Tap Defenders

*2018-09-29, version 1.2.1*

Amazing game honestly, many heroes to unlock and an amazing clan system all combined with amazing dungeons on raids which keeps me addicted.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2018-09-24*

Après y avoir joué et apprécié le jeux dans sa globalité, je relance le jeux et charge sur l’écran d’accueil indéfiniment. Je mettrais 5 étoiles quand cela sera résolu.

### 5/5 — Code clan MYK9L

*2018-09-24*

Guilde francaise rejoignez nous en utilisant le code MYK9L

### 4/5 — Everything but chat

*2018-09-23*

Chat is a nightmare since there are TONS of combinations of “banned words” and it doesn’t tell you what the word is. So when you try and tell your group “please assign certain levels to certain areas for raids” it will tell you “banned words”. If Developers got rid of this, it would run smoother. The word Hero is a banned word for some weird reason, and the game is based around heroes so it’s damned near impossible to chat properly to coordinate things. Everything else runs great.

### 3/5 — Clan sensor

*2018-09-23, version 1.2.1*

Are you kidding?  How can you sensor words like help someone and ridiculous. How about putting in an optional sensor for clans with a warning when you enter?  Or quit sensoring common everyday words. It’s ridiculous. 
Lots of bugs as well. Whole clan got a message that they had been kicked and I have logged in to having all hero’s at level one two to three times.

### 4/5 — Ótimo jogo!

*2018-09-20*

Jogo muito bom! Funcionava no meu celular tranquilamente. Ontem depois da atualização começou a travar e a fechar sozinho!

### 1/5 — Extortion backed by apple

*2022-03-30*

I have been playing this game for 3 over years and when I stoped playing to win and submitted several credit card disputes it disrupted my apple account. When I pay thousand’s of US dollars I expect to get what I pay for. Mobirix is a play to win and I payed a lot. When I stoped paying they reset my account. I was in an honest clan not cheating and they tolerate hackers and cheaters but not someone that doesn’t continue to pay to win. Their loss because this dispute will remain until the developers pull their heads out of … best of luck with bleeding a turnup.

### 1/5 — Umm ok

*2018-12-05*

Read the reviews before I installed this. Ignored most of them wanting to give this a chance as I do most apps. It downloaded the app expecting to jump right in and see what it like myself. I opened the app and was immediately asked to log into my Apple ID. I then immediately shut the app off and uninstalled it. Now I’m not 100% certain but it seems to me that the company was trying to bill me for something. I’m not about to log on my Apple ID just to find out. Good luck if you want to try this but beware.

### 1/5 — Вылетает

### 1/5 — Al rico bug

*2018-09-20*

En determinado momento del tutorías te pide que accedas al menú de héroes y automáticamente te quedas atrapado en una pantalla que te señala donde apretar en una zona donde no hay nada, aunque reinicies la app se repite lo mismo.

### 5/5 — Bestes Tower Defense

*2023-07-17*

Über Jahre hinweg, ein sehr tiefgreifendes und strategisches Tower Defense Spiel. Auch jetzt noch wird es gewartet und geupdatet. Ein Lob an die Entwickler. Meiner Meinung nach ein wahres Meisterstück im Store. Weiter so!

### 5/5 — Jogo muito bom! 5★

*2023-05-23*

O gráfico retrô é bem trabalhado e contextualizado, com um carisma próprio. O jogo é dinâmico e intuitivo em várias mecânicas, porém um pouco nebulosa em outras mais complexas como a leitura dos status e mecânicas do personagens p/ quem quer uma experiência mais detalhada, seria legal uma atualização do layout geral de menu do jogo. 
No geral uma surpresa muito agradável, jogo viciante e que merece investimento da empresa pois tem potencial para crescer astronomicamente.
