Unfortunately, that costs about $25/month, which is totally unsustainable for most. Without the sub, it’s a pretty mediocre game. Playable, of course, but not fun. ### 4/5 — Cool game *2026-07-15, version 4.2.1* Good boredom buster. Cool game overall like could do with some more free units etc but yea pretty good ### 3/5 — Tons of micro transaction *2026-06-02, version 4.1.7* Game could be really good but I’m tired of this world of subscriptions (this game wants 6$ a week!) and micro transactions. This game is full of it. Good on them for mining thousands of people but I can’t take this much of it. ### 2/5 — Game always crashes *2026-03-07, version 4.1.4* Fun game, lots of different characters and gets updated but yet you guys fail to fix the bugs. This game has been crashing for years. You keep adding new things and just had a recent update but yet you never address the game crashing ALL THE TIME. You want people to pay for pro while still having crashes? And characters that cost $99? Wtf ### 4/5 — It’s yippy *2026-03-05, version 4.1.1* Yup it’s aight ### 2/5 — Nice but buggy *2026-02-18, version 4.1.1* The game is fun to play has good graphics, but it constantly freezes. You’re almost to the end of an attack and you lose everything and when you get your prizes from an attack. Sometimes not all the stuff you won shows up and the events the dig it out event I’m playing right now. It won’t let me move to the third stage the new prizes show up at the bottom. It won’t let me pick one and save it and it won’t let me dig any more prize so until they can fix all these problems two star stars is the best I can give it. Otherwise it’ll be a five star game easy. ### 5/5 — Классная игра, НО *2026-02-11* Игра классная, но есть несколько объективных НО. И странно, что разработчики не обращают на это внимания достаточно долгое время. Распишу все по пунктам и надеюсь, что на это обратят внимание. 1. Касаемо арены и красных кристаллов. Арена сама по себе вещь интересная, но в определенный момент интерес к ней пропадает ввиду объективных причин. Во-первых потому что со временем ослабевает интерес это делать, нет никаких дополнительных плюшек, а во-вторых потому что красные кристаллы вообще не на что обменивать. Точнее есть на что, на ресурсы и уникальных юнитов. Но после покупки уникальных юнитов, можно только делать обмен на ресурсы, которых итак в избытке и об этом второй пункт. 2. Касаемо ресурсов и кузницы. Кузницу очень легко прокачать, но она ограничена достаточно низким уровнем и достаточно ограниченным пулом тех вещей (нужных и хороших), которые там можно скрафтить. В итоге, получив несколько нужных наборов, кузница становится ненужной, а ресурсы по большей части бесполезными. Да, можно обменивать их на золото соклановцам, но это песчинка в море, их в итоге остается очень много, а делать с ними нечего и обменять ресурсы ни на что нельзя. 3. Касаемо карты и наполненности. Здорово, что есть карта, в которой достаточно много интересных событий и локаций, но как по мне за время существования игры можно было добавить и кучу других локаций. По типу "Архипелаг нежити", "Подземелья гоблинов", "Равнина орков" и тд. Есть второй континент, но как будто - этого мало и хочется больше интересных и разнообразных локаций, с уникальными фишками. 4. Касаемо клановых событий и борьбы в них. Здорово, что можно вступить в клан и участвовать в различных ивентах и получать уникальные награды, но система в клановых событиях постоянно виснет, есть проблемы со входом и в итоге не всегда получается нормально играть эти события, что безусловно не радует, а огорчает. Не понимаю в чем проблема это исправить. 5. Касаемо волн по мере прохождения. Мало разнообразия врагов, т.е. буквально нет новых уникальных боссов, нет каких-то дополнительных сложностей, чтобы подстраивать свою башню и юнитов под определенные волны. Со временем, прохождение их становится однообразным и однотипным. Резюмируя получается, что игра сама по себе очень хорошая и интересная, она классно нарисованная, но разработчики видимо перестали уделять ей время и внимание и развития в игре нет. А очень жаль, думаю введя новые изменения, хотя бы те, что я упомянул игра обрела бы второе дыхание. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте. Благодарим вас от души за развернутый отзыв! Мы будем стараться сделать нашу игру еще лучше, и радовать вас только полезными обновлениями. С уважением, Black Bears. ### 5/5 — Very Fun and Addictive *2026-02-10, version 4.1.1* Very fun and good. But I wish you could turn on only certain notifications like the gold storage. ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2026-02-03, version 4.1.1* Fun little game! Nice to play while out and about, easy to jump in and jump out, ads are optional and I don't feel shafted for not watching them, and yeah! ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-02-02* Ótimo jogo **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! It's very nice to know that you liked our game. ### 5/5 — Jogo é mt bom *2026-01-25* Única coisa que é fora do padrão muito top… é o remove ad ser semanal, isso é sem noção **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We will try to make you happy in the next updates. ### 5/5 — My Faavoite Game In The World *2026-01-24, version 4.1.1* They did an excellent job on this game. Everything is well balanced and it keeps your interest.and when you have ADHD such as I do, that’s a pretty impressive feat. I love the game art, animations, upgrade games are my favorite. You can also do clans and I am part of one and we have fun. ### 5/5 — NO ADDS YIPPEE *2026-01-10, version 4.1.1* I have scrolled on App Store for a good mideival game this game is great it’s very addictive and greatest of all is that it doesn’t force adds I’ve played too many games that force adds every 5 mins this none it’s awesome. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 0/5 *2026-08-10, version 4.2.1* 100$ to purchase a character in this game is the most abysmal predatory pay to win scheme I’ve seen in a while. Hyper monetized to the point it seems the devs are either on their last ditch attempt to stay afloat or simply don’t care if they blatantly gouge people for pixels. ### 1/5 — Soulless cash grab *2026-07-31, version 4.2.1* Games like these really grind my gears, the gameplay and concept is good enough for a mobile game however the constant in app purchases being shoved down my throat make it terrible. ### 1/5 — MONEY HUNGRY *2026-05-18, version 4.1.7* EVERYTHING that should be normal in a game such as this one is BEHIND A PAYWALL ### 1/5 — Too many serious bugs *2026-03-28, version 4.1.5* To many serious bugs in this game. Fun to play otherwise ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-03-07, version 4.1.4* Expedition is a scam. The things you can get reset before the timer even runs out. I was close to getting a portal gun and there was still a few days left in the timer but it suddenly reset ### 1/5 — Stuck at the loading screen forever, can’t even join the matches *2026-03-05, version 4.1.1* Stuck at the loading screen forever, can’t even join the matches ### 1/5 — Events Are Rigged!!! *2026-01-08, version 4.1.1* Recently started playing and played the Tower Of Elysium event and it took me a day and a half to reach stage 260 and I had 1.2G damage. Then a guaranteed rigged account that the game creates comes on the leaderboard out of nowhere with 20 hours of event time left and gets only to stage 125 and has 640 million damage out of nowhere when a few hours before the second place guy had barely a 100 million damage. Guaranteed the game has accounts that come into the events to make you spend more money to try to win the event character to stay in first. The character you can win only in first cost $85 dollars if you want to buy them on sale! So the game doesn’t want you to win through the event at all since you’d get the better character for less than the devs absurd pricing. Game is BS immediately canceled the pro subscription and deleted will not reinstall at all. Way too high pricing on a mobile game. ### 1/5 — Stolen money *2026-01-04, version 4.1.1* App stole money and developers are no help. The 1 week subscription ends 30 hours before it should. The crystals and units are not uniform for purchase. There are rewards that are never paid out (including the paid ones). During the special events, you’ll “win” a prize that’s never seen or used. ### 1/5 — Still ok, but … *2025-12-30, version 4.1* Still buggy. It seems when I change troops or play archer only portal, it causes my PvP Towerlands troops to disappear. Pretty lame bug. New PvP style is better in some ways. It would benefit from an end date and start over to reset the leaderboards and give incentive to players to keep playing for prizes and rewards. Path to Elysium is fun, but prize distribution sucks is incredibly bad. Only top 3 can get prizes that are worth playing for. The rest of the prizes don’t even make the event worth playing. A unit I leveled up disappeared in path to elysium. Lame! And my units reset themselves on one of my loadouts. Lame again. To many bugs in this game.

I played it from us six years in a row then I totally forgot all about it but I mean hey it’s always bringing back memories and now I get to use that strategies I have in my head now, restart it and build back on what I had and that’s why I like about this game. It brings back the memory for me, but maybe for others that are buying it too and it’s such a really cool defense game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
