Not worth the install. ### 1/5 — Could be decent but adverts spoil it *2025-05-02, version 1.0.1* Half decent game spoiled but ad spam every 30 seconds. Very jarring!! I know developers have to make money but constant ads just makes people uninstall the game and leave negative reviews. All about balance ### 1/5 — 広告多い *2025-05-02, version 1.0.1* 強制で見させられる広告が多い ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-01, version 1.0.1* Tried even to not get ads but still get ads… pointless ### 1/5 — Incomplete // too many ads *2025-04-30, version 1.0.1* Yeah. Title says exactly what the issue is. Way too ad heavy. Game features are incomplete. Do not get. ### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2025-04-28, version 1.0.1* Get ready to watch TV but only the ads and with a staggering $10 to remove them I just wouldn’t download… truly a fun game but ads have ruined it ### 1/5 — このゲームは広告を消せません *2025-04-23, version 1.0.1* 英語読まなかった自分が悪いけど普通広告マークにバツがついてれば無くなると思います。 それに課金しても広告は消せません。4600円取られるだけです。英語弱い人は気をつけて ### 1/5 — still get ads *2025-03-19, version 1.0.1* Paid $15 for no ads and still get ads sick ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY AD-FREE *2025-03-14, version 1.0.1* It does not work, I have requested a refund. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous amount of ads *2025-03-11, version 1.0.1* Played for literally 30 seconds before the first unskippable ad played. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy the “no ads” option *2025-03-05, version 1.0.1* Its a lie ### 1/5 — Leveling *2025-03-04, version 1.0.1* I am curious as to why my character level is still 3/4 the way through level 1 even though I am on the third level/world ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-24, version 1.0.5* Entirely too many ads. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. ### 1/5 — :) *2025-10-09, version 1.0.4* This game is so good I love it ### 1/5 — Stuck progress *2025-10-05, version 1.0.4* Progress bar is stuck at 3/4 on level 1. I have defeated the levels to arena 50 and it hasn’t moved since the 2nd arena ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-08-25, version 1.0.4* Forced ad after every single stage :( ### 1/5 — 強制拉圾 *2025-08-20, version 1.0.4* 強制看廣告的遊戲 ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-08-13, version 1.0.1* Pictures are very misleading. Level is locked at 1, stops at 3/4 bar. Locked things on home screen never unlock. Max towers is 16. Got to stage 60 and game stays monotonous. No challenge after stage 4ish. Unavoidable ads, egregious ad removal pricing. Basically no options or settings. ### 1/5 — 別買無廣告…. *2025-08-10, version 1.0.1* 根本沒效果，一樣要讀取廣告… ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-08-05, version 1.0.1* Way too many ads. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-07-22, version 1.0.1* Very bad too much ads and difficult ### 1/5 — Dont buy ad skip *2025-07-17, version 1.0.1* It doesnt remove the ads for optional ads for rewards, only skips forced ads that you see once every 20 minutes -.- ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Flyers not fun. *2025-05-22, version 1.0.1* This game is really fun great mechanics and everything but I have two problems. The first is that the Flyers are overpowered by wave three they have become so numerous. And tough that they shoot my archer and kill him before the goblins have even destroyed one block of my tower. If there were a way to upgrade the HP of my archer (like you can the towers) that would be awesome. The other issue is I’ve been looking at the reviews. And my archer is also stuck 3/4 through level one. Even though I’m on the third world. I’m sorry you get a such a bad rap For the ads I didn’t think they were that bad. ### 5/5 — Way to get around ad issue *2025-05-02, version 1.0.1* When I wanna play this game I turn on airplane mode and I don’t get any ads, however things are still locked and each time I do a wave it only lasts seconds, so I’m hoping for a new update soon ### 5/5 — Assessment *2025-04-07, version 1.0.1* In fact, the game is very cool, there is just not enough content in the game and a lot of advertising, and the idea itself is just a fire ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-12-06, version 1.0.0* I’m liking this new style of game, I find it very addictive. I hope it keeps getting updated and expanded ### 4/5 — Tower vs goblins *2025-10-09, version 1.0.4* It’s really fun but I do think it needs some more fixes because first you can’t level your archers HP second nerf the damage on the flying enemies because it takes only 3-4 hits then you lost but overall very relaxing and good tower defense game. ### 4/5 — Goodish *2025-03-04, version 1.0.1* So it’s a good time waster game and I’ve been playing for a few days. It’s definitely a slow progression game which isn’t a bad thing. My only huge gripe is that for “ad free” it’s $10 and it only takes away the random ads. You still have to sit through a 30s-1m ad on everything if you want a bonus. If I could get a refund I would on my “ad free” purchase. If it’s only going to take away the random ads it should be like $3-5. Other than this it’s a good game. I’m lvl 9 currently and haven’t unlocked anything new which is a little depressing. There’s also nothing telling you how to unlock the other menus or even if you can ### 3/5 — Work in progress *2025-04-30, version 1.0.1* Good fun but seems unfinished. Have reached game level 11 and hero is not leveling up (stuck level 1). I keep getting notifications about a “challenge mode” but can’t access it. Hoping updates fix it. ### 2/5 — Pretty good *2025-04-10, version 1.0.1* Would be higher but I can’t have fun with the adds --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
