### 1/5 — Schrecklich

*2025-12-20, version 1.23*

Finger weg! Eine furchtbare Grafik und kein Vergleich zu Madness2. Unverschämtheit dafür Geld zu verlangen. Glatter Betrug in meinen Augen. 0 Sterne von mir!

### 1/5 — Can’t believe I actually spent money on this!

*2025-07-16, version 1.23*

If only I had been given the opportunity to try it out first. What a complete and utter waste of money. Graphics are soooo bad. The game itself moves too quickly to actually enable me to concentrate on what I’m doing. Maps are big open spaces. You are given too little to actually be able to defend well. So disappointing. I don’t mind in app purchases on paid games, but at least allow the purchaser to gain experience and enjoyment so that they want to enhance their performance, before sucking them dry. Don’t waste your money!

### 2/5 — Impossible levels?

*2024-12-28, version 1.23*

### 5/5 — Best game ever my childhood fav

*2024-12-19, version 1.23*

### 5/5 — No better game…

*2023-10-22, version 1.23*

Love this game. Wish they made more levels to play. Always fun and never the same. Been playing for years and still love it. Best tower defense game out there.

### 5/5 — This is the best TD game

*2023-10-10, version 1.23*

Nuff said

### 5/5 — Excellent jeu j’adore

*2023-07-04, version 1.23*

Très chouette tower defense bien a l’Ouest. Cartes et ennemis bien balancés. Pas de pub. J’adore les graphismes un peu rétro. Les versions plus récentes de ce jeu ont un peu perdu cette touche rétro. Bien challengeant.

### 5/5 — Still my favorite Game

*2023-03-25, version 1.23*

This has been my favorite game for years. I love Tower Defense games and I have about a dozen of them, but this is still my favorite.
