I love the idea of the game, and honestly could get past the ultra slow progression if you could just have the minions always target turrets when open. It’s impossible to get past the second level because my two 3 health minions just die straight away. A game shouldn’t annoy me whilst I play. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2026-01-31, version 30* Needs to be consistently updated and de-bugged ### 2/5 — Fun if you like ads *2026-01-09, version 30* It is incredibly hard, if not impossible, to beat the levels without watching 3+ ads to get extra money to buy upgrades. Is decently fun but unplayable without watching TV simultaneously ### 2/5 — system. *2026-01-07, version 30* The game relies heavily on watching ads to even have a fighting change. The targeting system is also trash as the units prioritize the blocks rather than the enemies that are attacking them. The game is overall a 4/10 with heavy potential if the developer actually cared about the game. ### 3/5 — Fun game, but definitely still in the works *2025-12-23* I have not played very far, so this review is only concerning the first few hours of play. Once things start to snowball the game gets more fun. At the beginning it is not, and small things kill your men easily. Overall I liked the game but without some changes it just isn’t worth the space for me. Targeting system needs some tweaks. Rather than attacking nearest blocks units should prioritize enemy units. Enemy units frequently get several free hits the way it is now. Consider adding threat values in whatever system calculates targets for soldiers. Recommend allowing players to choose the formation in the beginning of a new zone, allowing weaker soldiers to avoid being in the center of combat. Recommend a targeting mechanic: players tap on a block and unit targeting in a small area is overridden to attack that block. Or alternatively pick individual soldiers’ targets. Putting in any of this will make the game a lot better QOL-wise and let the game be more about strategy than luck, even in the early stages before the player gets significant stat advantages. ### 3/5 — Fun game, tons of adds *2025-12-12, version 30* To be honest, the adds are getting too long, and annoying. Ruins the fun of the game ### 1/5 — Unfinished, unity slop *2025-10-05, version 30* Seems like the kind of game you could make in an hour or two. Ads don’t work at all and some of the mechanics don’t rly make sense (specifically crowns in the early game). ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2025-09-23, version 30* Mainly these soldiers are morons. They do not look for hostile targets. Even when approached by a hostile, they ignore the hostile until they take damage. If I save up for 5 warriors, they should swarm the hostiles, but instead they farm separate sections of the field. If you fix it let me know. The concept is good. The army you give me is just incompetent. ### 1/5 — Possibly sells information *2025-08-24, version 30* This is purely speculation but I won’t be playing this game ever again. I have never really revived many spam calls or texts or anything but two days after I downloaded this game I started getting 9 calls a day and half a dozen texts. I uninstalled the game after about a week and it stopped I literally have not received spam since so I don’t know what that is about. ### 1/5 — Why? *2025-08-21, version 30* Interested in doing the same thing over and over for no reward? This is the game for you. ### 1/5 — Fun idea horrible execution *2025-08-15, version 30* Progress is unbelievably slow and I think that’s to make up for a lack of content, you earn so little to improve a tiny bit. It gets really frustrating and boring ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Add to win *2026-07-11, version 30* This game is fun but in order to have a fighting chance you have to watch multiple adds every run. The worst part is the adds are often 2-3 minutes long. If they were 15 seconds maybe, but some of them won’t let you go back into your game for over 3 minutes. It is horrible and the length of the adds have ruined a fun game. ### 1/5 — Basic progression takes hours. *2026-06-05, version 30* You can’t even progress without watching ads. ### 1/5 — Pay/ad to win *2026-05-30, version 30* Completely pay or watch ads to win ### 1/5 — This game is unplayable without paying *2026-05-23, version 30* The mechanics makes it impossible to even finish the first level without paying. Total piece of garbage and waste of time. Zero entertainment value. The App Store should ban apps like this. ### 1/5 — Ad Trash *2026-04-16, version 30* The game constantly spams you with ad offers. The player units AI is terrible all around a trash game. ### 1/5 — losing my crowns *2026-03-07, version 30* I get kicked out the game because of a glitch or bug don’t lose money or my spot in the game but I lose all my damn crowns earned in the session so I don’t get my multiplier on that game . I HATE THAT!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-02, version 30* It’s impossible to win without having to watch 20 ads in a single playthrough. Let me actually WIN by not NEEDING to watch any ads and it’d be a 10 outta 10 game ### 1/5 — Potential *2026-01-20, version 30* Game is not nearly engaging enough to justify how long the rounds take, and how slow the progression is at the start. Can’t speak on late-game as I’m deleting after 20 minutes of play. Give us something to work with. ### 1/5 — Slightly below average *2026-01-10, version 30* I have played thousands of hours on mobile and pc idle games. Too many to list here. To keep it short. This one just doesn’t cut it for what I would consider the average idle/ incremental / clicker game. Lack of actual gameplay features or actual appealing art style, could go on for a while. ### 1/5 — Worst game I ever played *2025-11-28, version 30* this game pisses me off so bad, the troops take forever to fight back and sometimes they just completely ignore the enemy, especially in the second episode. My other complaint is that things get expensive way too fast so you’re basically forced to watch ads if you wanna make the experience enjoyable. I had to watch like 5 ads just to get to the next episode🫩🫩 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 진짜 잘 만든 게임 *2026-07-02* 최고네요… 조작감 게임성 직관성 다 뛰어남 ### 5/5 — Fix the Championship mode please. *2026-06-17, version 30* I’ve been playing this game for a while now and it’s a pretty smooth game when you start progressing, however my only reason for really leaving a review is to ask the Dev to fix the championship mode (which new players will see and hopefully won’t have issues). I’m at the legend League and every time I play I always lag out at around 260-280, I’ve tried things like having less units, not even upgrading health, and just waiting. I’m met with the same thing, lagging out. So please if you guys would look into it I’ll delete this review and leave another because I do genuinely enjoy the game. Thank you and I hope this reaches you well. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-13, version 30* Love the game. Just wondering if you guys are still updating and adding content to the game. I see no updates for over a year now. Thanks ### 5/5 — revival *2026-05-13, version 30* yall guys need to revive this game and make it good! so many good ideas for this game. add like a main hero you can level up, or be able to choose starting class in battle. more upgrades etc. clans/pvp ### 5/5 — losing my crowns *2026-03-16, version 30* I get kicked out the game because of a glitch or bug don’t lose money or my spot in the game but I lose all my damn crowns earned in the session so I don’t get my multiplier on that game . I HATE THAT!!… update pup some money on a tournament bet more people will play🤷🏾‍♂️ ### 5/5 — 100% the game you hope *2026-02-18, version 30* Wow, finally. ### 5/5 — This Game Is PEAK *2026-02-06, version 30* This game is mad simple, but hella addicting ngl ### 5/5 — 8/10, good!!! Only wish it had sound… *2025-11-02, version 30* I enjoy this game very much, I just wish had sound! Lol ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-10-28, version 30* Ads are not playing. Is there a mini game to earn more gems and do we get gem multipliers? ### 5/5 — Ad vs gameplay. *2025-08-09, version 30* The game itself it’s good and it can be beaten, and the ads it’s only if you ask for it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
