I had to take a screenshot of the Chinese ad it forced me to click on to proceed and then used Google Translate to find the “Close” button. ### 3/5 — Weird game *2025-07-14, version 2.2.260* When the game first boots up it plays an entire unskippable ad. Then the ads seem to come at random. Craziness. The tower/enemy balance between later levels is all over the place. Some levels are almost impossible and others are a breeze. Since the last update was a year ago, I’m sure nothing will change lol ### 4/5 — Better than the other ones I’ve played. *2024-10-14, version 2.2.260* I love tower games but this one had just a little more excitement to a play. With extra guns being affordable due to the nice balance of reward per kill, it made this game more fun. The only thing I didn’t like was the background graphics. If they up that then I think this one is a winner on this kind of game. Great joy so far. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-09-10, version 2.2.260* It’s a good take on the tower defense game. If you like mindlessly destroying attackers this is the game for you. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-09-08, version 2.2.260* Could be a bit faster paced ### 5/5 — Good challenges *2024-07-14, version 2.2.260* As expected, the stages build up intensity and challenges. Enjoying so far. The only negative at this stage is, the $ that you acquire throughout the stage do not transfer to the next stage. ### 4/5 — It’s good fun *2024-05-22, version 2.2.260* Still on the early stages but so far its great ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-03-25, version 2.0.1* Enjoy playing it ### 2/5 — Bug *2024-01-04, version 2.0.1* Good game until you get to Dead Lands level 7 where the you can’t shoot down the airplanes before they hit and kill your tower… game over. From the direction the planes come from, there are no places to even build a defense tower before the planes get to your main tower and wipe you out. ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2023-12-05, version 2.0.1* What a fun game! I really like this game! Thank you for who made this great game. :) ### 4/5 — Great *2023-11-14, version 2.0.1* Great ### 4/5 — Good until last level *2023-09-07* Enjoyed this game but in the last levels the planes come out right over the headquarters and can not even shoot at then till they hit ending the game with no way to win ### 5/5 — Tower Defence *2023-06-04, version 2.0.1* Great gameplay addictive! ### 5/5 — Thanks for game *2023-04-14, version 2.0.1* Very very nice for game It is beautiful Good game Good Money Good unmixed And good pure Thanks Please more games ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The game is to easy. *2026-06-05, version 2.2.260* And it just a boring pay to win. ### 1/5 — поделка школьника *2025-12-20, version 2.2.260* Простая игра, похожая на курсовую работу школьника по информатике. Однообразно, глупо и скучно. Вылетающие боком самолеты - особенно сильно. ### 1/5 — adds increasing *2024-07-17, version 2.2.260* Not bad game but adds increasing. Play easy medium and hard all seem the same so a little boring don’t think I’ll finish playing all modes of all maps gets boring. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Immediately spammed with ads. *2024-06-23, version 2.2.260* Immediately after opening this game, I started receiving ads. I'm deleting the game now. ### 1/5 — Dead lands level 7 impossible impassable *2023-08-02, version 2.0.1* Good game until level 7 dead lands, cannot kill the planes fast enough. Maybe if you keep retrying and the planes never come. I am glad I waited to give review. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2023-04-20, version 2.0.1* DeadLand stage 7 is one of those stupid attempts at making a stage stupidly difficult. The attack planes come direct to the base without having any spots available on the map to place defenses. I decided to delete the game. ### 1/5 — Rate us *2023-04-10, version 2.0.1* Getting fed up of being asked to rate this game, I have on numerous occasions and have left a previous review to complain about the repetitive requests. The bug report button doesn’t work either! Fix both of these issues and I will stop giving 1 star reviews. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-03-04, version 2.0.1* Uninstalled after the third round. These ads are so overbearing. Could have been fun. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-01-27, version 2.0.1* To many ads bro like I just wanna play the game and you’re making me watch 5 ads in 2 mins like stop ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-01-21, version 2.0.1* After each level, you have to watch an ad. Each level consists of waves of enemies but after the waves finish, you gotta sit through an ad. No fun. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game…easy to play *2026-02-06, version 2.2.260* Easy and fun to play ### 5/5 — Jase *2026-02-03, version 2.2.260* Fun ### 5/5 — Great game…easy to play *2026-01-31, version 2.2.260* Easy to play ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-10-18, version 2.2.260* Very nice ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-22, version 2.2.260* Needs more levels and upgrades ### 5/5 — Tower defense td toy *2025-03-13, version 2.2.260* It’s so real I give it a 5 star rating I love it ### 5/5 — 👌 *2024-12-23, version 2.2.260* Good ### 5/5 — Henry *2024-12-01, version 2.2.260* Love this game never feel bored and I enjoy playing every time ### 5/5 — Dig it *2024-11-05, version 2.2.260* It’s fun and easy ### 5/5 — So far not bad *2024-10-15, version 2.2.260* So far not too bad we will see once I get further in the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
