Swiping isn’t very intuitive and the alternative button controls are rather buggy. Pressing up with the alternative button control has me occasionally falling down, which gets disastrous rapidly when in the heat of the moment. All in all, pretty good, but a core element is still flawed: the controls. Both of them. ### 3/5 — It’s meh *2019-05-31, version 1.4* I like the game itself but I hate the sp and gold systems and I find myself playing the same boards over and over so it is super boring at times. ### 4/5 — Awesome retro title, but needs a couple tweaks... *2019-05-11, version 1.4* First of all, I love tower defense games with real time combat, I’m also a sucker for retro style games and rockin’ chiptunes. This game checks ALL those boxes, AND it has VERY solid gameplay! So why only 4 stars instead of 5? Because: 1) Items are WAY over priced in the in-game shop during gameplay 2)I thought Slayin “fame” points cost a lot, but it takes THOUSANDS of “soul” points to unlock anything! 4 characters is cool, but couldn’t there be more? SUGGESTIONS: - Cloud support! - Maybe a coin and/or soul point doubler in app purchase that can be “restored” on other devices. I’d drop some real $$$ for that! -Lower the in-game shop prices! Too expensive to upgrade character! -Add more characters like a “Paladin” or even “cleric” type character that can not only take tons of damage, but also heal. A “Rifleman” distance attack character that uses firearms would be pretty rad too. Anyway, definitely a very solid and well made game, but if some minor tweaks would be made, this would be a 5 star must play classic! ### 5/5 — Good *2019-05-08, version 1.4* Good ### 4/5 — Great game, needs a fix. *2019-04-23, version 1.4* Fun game, absolutely love the tunes! It’s reminiscent of a hybrid between mega man and castlevania. The only problem is that arcade mode is buggy: It freezes consistently around level 18-19 (at least when wearing the ninja outfit). Enemies stop dropping money even with max combo x200+ around level 30 (not sure if the first cape triggers this or if it’s intended regardless). Still have yet to achieve lightning arrows, would love to see them in action, but they seem to be unattainable in arcade mode and only attainable in story mode if no other items are purchased. ## Frequently asked questions about Warcher Defenders ### What kind of game is Warcher Defenders?
