Like really fun. All the cool upgrades you can get and the fact you can replay and get rewarded with the stars. Only issue is the PVP mode takes super long to rank up and I don’t want to spend hours and hours playing through low ranks just to get to mine. I think once you reach a certain rank, you stay at that rank until you lose enough or you rank up. Thanks for making this game! ### 4/5 — Jogo ótimo, mas os pacotes são absurdamente caros. *2026-08-18* Jogo cumpre o que promote: Funciona offline, não é P2W e é bem legalzinho. Eu até compraria as opções pagas se elas não fossem absurdamente caras para a realidade do brasileiro: Custam 3-4x mais do que outros jogos similares. For dev: Game is amazing, unfortunately the prices in Brazil are 3-4x higher than other similar games (no ads for example is over 20 dollars, impracticable), that’s the only reason for it to be 4* only. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-13* It’s a good game but you should add Brazilian Portuguese language and locate your prices for our economy too. Thank you **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your suggestions, we appreciate them! ### 5/5 — Please Add Brazilian Portuguese *2026-08-06* Hello! I really enjoy your game. I would like to suggest adding Brazilian Portuguese localization. There are many Brazilian players who would love to play the game in their native language, and it would make the game much more accessible. Thank you for your great work, and I hope you will consider this suggestion! **Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion, we will consider it :) ### 5/5 — Great Tower defence game *2026-08-05, version 1.0.9* Good progression, great map layouts and even better graphics! ### 5/5 — Très cool *2026-08-03* Sympa Stategic et Addict **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Idea since you’re still in beta *2026-08-02, version 1.0.9* Love the idea but the pvp is kinda confusing i dont see how theres any competition to it. My idea/solution: pvp same idea building your village up round by round but 2 minute turns to decide what to build, round starts screen widens you see both villages, goal defeat other village first with strategy some using tower heavy strats to defend and some with more troops to overwhelm the enemy, just a idea tho from consumer to developer🙌🏻god bless most success🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Super jeu *2026-08-02* Super jeu,le gameplay est vraiment cool néanmoins les troupes sont plutôt mal équilibrés,en effet appart les troupes de base que l’on obtient dès le début du jeu,les autres sont plutôt nul et inutile. Un bouton pour annuler une construction pendant la nuit en cas d’erreur serait aussi appréciable. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Actually the crossbow and javelin soldiers are pretty strong against large enemies. The berserker and stone thrower could perhaps use a small buff. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-01, version 1.0.9* Best game I’ve played on mobile in a while. Super addictive and good to grind, lots of stuff to do. I think it would be really cool if the tower placements and options were up to the players so we can build our own strategies and have a little more freedom. I know this comes with balancing issues but i think it can really help replayability. ### 5/5 — Очень хорошая игра *2026-08-01, version 1.0.9* Игра очень хорошая и затягивает отлично разработчик ты создал очень хорошую игру продвигай ее но так же не забывай про WW1 на этом все пока!3 ### 5/5 — My new favorite game *2026-07-31, version 1.0.9* This game is so addicting if you enjoy tower defense games. It’s simple, unique, and challenges you to try harder levels. The blessings system during each level is personally one of my favorite parts that I really enjoy. Highly recommend playing it. ### 5/5 — How is this not more popular? *2026-07-30, version 1.0.9* You know those mini game ads you play where you run as the hero around killing stuff, then you install the game and find its 99% a base building game with minimal actual hero control and fun? This is the exact opposite. The base building is picking what to build to survive the next round. That’s it, then you start rampaging around trying to save the base. How you play, spec your hero etc depends on how well your base survives the waves. Too much focus on economy, you can’t be everywhere at once and you lose that income for the round. Too much focus on troops and towers, your income isn’t enough to scale with the waves. The level of pragmatism requires to get through the stages is very high and it adds a very fun dynamic to it. No forced ads, simple graphics and fun. 11/10, really fun. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-26* Good **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and for playing our game! ### 5/5 — Top *2026-07-25* Top vraiment **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Интересная игра *2026-07-24* Иногда кажется, что слишком медленно, есть донатный ускоритель боя Но это для школьников , настоящий гейминг и чуть реализма вплане передвижения войск и стрельбы 😂 вроде пока заходит ( прошел первую главу) 👍 **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 4/5 — Copy of other games *2026-07-19, version 1.0.9* Complete ripoff of other games, just with old school graphics ### 5/5 — 재밌는데 아쉬움 *2026-07-18* 보상이 너무 짜고 현질이 너무 비쌈 **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars, we appreciate your feedback about the pricing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Незакрываемая реклама *2026-08-20* В очередной раз сталкиваюсь в этой игре с рекламой в которой нет крестика, куда ни тыкни и не надо мне «ля-ля» что это не «мы» а рекламодатель виноват **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for writing. I understand your frustration about the ads, they have become worse in the last few years. When watching an app you should be able to report any annoying ads. ### 1/5 — Predatory endless ads *2026-06-22, version 1.0.8* Easy 1 star for the multi minute, repetitive, deceptive, predatory gambling ads on a kid game. Nothing but 1-2 minute unskippable kalshi ads playing the same 10 second video on repeat. Pathetic and digusting ### 1/5 — 14.99$ is too much *2026-02-14, version 1.0.2* 5.99$ is better ### 1/5 — Too hard and boring *2026-02-13, version 1.0.2* Can’t get past level 5 and I don’t really care to try for a third time since it’s not at all fun. Calling it a completely mindless slog would be an understatement. ### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it *2026-02-11, version 1.0.2* Game is really fun at first but then it becomes impossibly hard unless you unlock content behind paywalls. Even then it’s still SO HARD to progress. Game is broken don’t fall for it. ### 2/5 — Don’t Make MicroTransactions *2026-06-30, version 1.0.8* i got to a point where i felt stuck with progress and just wanted a small crutch, so i bought one of the amber packs (like gems) though it didn’t give them to me. i can press restore purchase but it doesn’t work and now i don’t know if i should uninstall it because of how much that sucks or just keep playing because ive invested money and time now. ### 2/5 — Needs update *2026-02-27, version 1.0.3* Way to hard to get coins for upgrades. Makes some of the levels impossible without waiting for the free coins everyday. ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2026-02-15, version 1.0.3* You have to really grind or spend money to beat certain levels, it’s gay ### 3/5 — Changed my review from 1 star to 3 *2026-08-23, version 1.0.9* I originally gave Viking Hero TD one star, but after spending more time with it, I think that was a little too harsh. I’m changing it to three stars for now because the game actually has a lot of potential. The more I play, the more I’m getting used to the base building, heroes, equipment, upgrades, and overall progression. I actually agree with the developers on one thing: you shouldn’t be able to immediately upgrade everything to Epic or Legendary. Having upgrades take time gives you something to work toward and keeps you from finishing everything too quickly. The actual gameplay is pretty enjoyable too. Building your base during the day and then controlling your hero while defending it at night is a cool combination. The maps also make you think about where you’re putting your defenses instead of just upgrading everything and hoping for the best. Funny enough, this has also become a really good treadmill game for me. I can put it on while I’m walking and get so focused on playing that I stop paying attention to how long I’ve been on the treadmill. If you’re looking for something to play while doing a slower treadmill walk, I actually recommend trying it. Just obviously pay attention to what you’re doing and don’t get so distracted that you walk off the treadmill. My biggest complaint has not changed though: the in-app purchase prices are way too high. I understand that this is being developed by a small team and they need to make money to continue developing the game. I have no problem supporting smaller developers, especially when I can see potential in what they’re making. But some of these prices are extremely difficult to justify for a mobile game. $10, $20, $25 and even higher-priced packs are a lot of money for what you actually receive. The same goes for paying to remove ads. I would probably spend more money on this game over time if individual purchases were reasonably priced. At the current prices, I can’t recommend buying anything. That’s actually my biggest suggestion to the developers. Lower the prices. A larger number of players buying reasonably priced packs could be better than relying on a smaller number of people willing to spend $20, $25 or more at once. So my opinion has definitely improved. I went from one star to three stars, and I’m going to keep playing. There is a genuinely good game here and I’m interested in seeing what the developers do with it. For now, I recommend playing Viking Hero TD, but I do not recommend spending money on the in-app purchases at their current prices. I’ll come back and update this review again after another week or two of playing and after seeing what future updates bring. If the game continues improving, I could definitely see myself raising the rating again. ### 3/5 — Хорошая игра *2026-08-11* Все понравилось, но почему то перестало запускаться, игру прошел полностью, фармлю золото для прокачки, но после лого загрузки перестало заходить в меню игры ((( **Developer response:** Hi, try to restart your device. if your progress is saved on the cloud, you could try to delete and reinstall the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not bad so far *2026-09-06, version 1.0.10* Like other games I play very similar just different skins really we will have to see is it pay to win. Higher tiers hero is only way to win eventually?? Not sure yet ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-09-04* Bem legal ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-31* Super jeu, j’attend avec impatience de possibles nouveautés **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Add account *2026-08-28, version 1.0.9* Can you add a way to transfer account progress to another device ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-08-28, version 1.0.9* I never review anything but this is a beautifully built game - well done! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-23, version 1.0.9* Keep going ### 5/5 — 잼있어요 *2026-08-23* 패드로 하는데 너무 잼나네요 혹시 패드랑 핸드폰 계정동기화할수있는방법 있을까요? **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Cloud services are only supported on devices with the same OS, so you will only be able to play on the same device if you have an iphone and an ipad. ### 5/5 — Perfect TD *2026-08-21, version 1.0.9* I never write app reviews, I think this is my first. But I have to. This game is too good. It’s everything you want in a mobile TD game. Different of building/tower types, as well as abilities, and upgrade trees to increase the variety, and new enemies appearing in new levels. Very importantly, each level is different, it’s not just the same boring single lane level over and over again, so it’s not repetitive at all. And my favorite thing about the game… NO FORCED ADS. Great game, I’ve been hooked. ### 5/5 — Cool game 5 stars *2026-08-19, version 1.0.9* This games pretty cool all the right things for a phone game ### 5/5 — Perfecto *2026-08-13, version 1.0.9* Compré (quitar la publicidad) porque vale la pena muy bueno --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
