Developers that actually listen to their fan base!

So the developers of this game recently made some pretty sweeping changes, many of which their fanbase was not at all happy with. Some examples of these include Nerfing, the Tesla towers, changing some of the boards that used to be for ground only for example, to now having multiple units. And they also made some sweeping changes to the game mechanics. After they made these changes, there were a wave of negative reviews on the App Store and for the first time I can honestly say I’ve seen developers that actually listen to their fanbase and made changes back to the things that we all love almost overnight. I know some people aren’t crazy about the mechanics and I get that, I don’t really have a problem with them and actually, I think it adds a interesting level of play to the game. More importantly, kudos to these developers for listening to their fanbase like they have, and putting things that we loved back to the way they are. Well done and changing my review to five stars!

Great game. Updates not so much…

I have been playing this game for several weeks and mechanics and game structure are great, unique and quite fun. Tower developments are nice and I’ve actually gotten several towers up to a pretty high-level. Now after this update, when they introduced a whole bunch of new features, there are a couple things that in my opinion got worse instead of better. 1-Tesla tower. The Tesla tower used to work against both ground and air units, now it’s just ground units. This makes the maps that are heavy in both types of units too difficult as you just can’t get enough towers to cover both ground and air with any kind of effective fire power. 2-Tower Card Merging too confusing. They changed the way you merge lower level cards to get higher level towers. I have not quite figured out the best way yet but in doing so I’ve lost several of my cards trying to experiment how the new merging works. Hoping the developers respond with some better explanation on merging cards. 3-Existing maps default units changed. The types of units that are sent on each map also got changed. There used to be some maps with only ground units and some maps with only are units. This was very helpful when trying to upgrade specific types of towers. I no longer see these maps so once again difficult to get enough tower power to match the incoming units.

Very fun but….

This game is great. It’s fun to get creative and try different things to win. I am having big issues with a mixture of how very little gold you get from chests and/or how much gold it costs to do things. So much in-game currency purchases but not much in-game currency to go around. For instance my current next tower upgrade costs 70K. So I beat a level, wait 4,8,12,24 hours and maybe get enough gold to make one small (not very effective) upgrade. Meanwhile, every card also uses that currency to upgrade so it’s basically like going to the mall with only $10 every time you want to upgrade anything. Also, chests take way too long with only 3 chances to watch ads to speed up. You should have as many ad watch chances as you want to shave an hour off your wait time. And to use diamonds to speed up costs way too many diamonds. To use diamonds to refresh your card choices costs way too many diamonds. To use in-game currency to buy diamonds cost way too much. Overall the game needs to be less stingy. Loosen up a bit please. Make things cost less or reward us more. Also if you watch an ad, the game audio fails and doesn’t come back unless you restart the app. PLEASE FIX THIS. This should be an easy fix and quick update if you have proper app developers. And getting bombarded with 5/6 in app purchases right when you open the game is super tacky and annoying.

Well balanced long haul TD

I’ve played just about every TD out there, this game stands out mainly due to the track building mechanic. The basic idea that you have random cards to use for towers, including track pieces so you get to design your path on an open grid, gives the player tons of options and a sense of strategy. The devs also know how to expand the gameplay with events and upgrades with a steady difficulty ramping. The major downside is poor stability from all the ad loading. Basically after 2 or 3 ads on an ipad5 you’re getting a crash/ reboot. *update* still having ad issues but I work around it and still get a lot of fun out of this game. Again, well crafted with lots of stuff to work on between games and you have both strategic and tactical options in-game that other TD’s lack.. I like the random nature of the cards and with persistence and smart selection of the cards and their placement, you can beat the bosses and push through the difficulty ramping. Events which showcase different cards that you might not have used yet keep things fresh. I paid for removal of the interstitial ads. Props to the devs for listening to players and continually updating the game. An excellent addition to the genre.

Good game but could be expensive

I love this game so far. I have been playing for a couple weeks now and it is a lot of fun. However, per usual these days, this is a money grab game. U can play it without money but obviously progression will be significantly more difficult. We all know the layout of all games now, they have a gem n coin currency and random lottery chest. They all give you chest/money/equipment everyday for logging in n etc. However, I have noticed with this game it seems to be a noticeable difference in how much/little they give for free. When u compare the amount u get to what they want u to spend on the loot/refreshing it’s not great. Obviously, if you don’t spend money u shouldn’t expect much and I don’t but it’s kinda insanely slow progress on my towers. I spend a minimal amount on mobile games so I notice these things, but I do really enjoy the game. It is a lot of fun, worth checking out but keep in mind you will have to be very patient or spend money to be able to collect/upgrade towers. Also if any devs read this, PLEASE add a trash ability to the battle chest or set a shorter time for them to open (without spending an insane amount of gems to open them). My slots are constantly filled with silver so it’s extremely rare to get anything better.

Great START!

I see a lot of coming soon things as I progress through the levels, I hope we get an update soon with a few things on my wish list: Skill trees as you level things that give you small buffs to your troops, towers such as buff ice or fire damage or snare percentage or larger buffs such as attack bonuses or speed increases or cooldowns on the troops and wall. Make like two or three trees with a nice large buff or skill towards the end such as a fortress heal on a defense side, a large area nuke option and the third to give you another try if your fortress gets knocked out. ( if anyone is curious you can contact me). A few other things I would love added to just make ad removal a single thing to purchase not in a package, ads are the single thing worst thing about any ftp game but most have a monthly option that automatically renews. Another thing I would love is a way to fix a pathway placement, not a huge deal but I’ve screwed myself enough times I’d love to burn a turn on that similar to move tower. I wouldn’t mind the option to play with fewer than 6 cards, I pay some money to be able to use only 5 cards, even if only a few times a day to get past hard levels.

Pay Wall. Pay Wall. Pay Wall

I got this game as a break from the endless idle games on the market right now. And at first I have to admit this game is a lot of fun. I was playing it all day and couldn’t get enough. Then they started the forced ads in the middle of your game. I don’t mind the ads being there for extra chances or additional tickets to the special events but once they start forcing it in the middle of a match it took a lot of the fun out. Now it seems like they are pushing it more often and making you watch for a certain time before you can skip it where you used to be able to skip it almost immediately. Unfortunately I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t advance without spending money. They love doing special events where you can get powerful towers but it’s impossible to get them without $$ but don’t worry they let you get the upgrade cards for them for free to try and get you to spend the money. This game used to be a lot of fun and it’s just slowly gotten worse the more I play it and just can’t play anymore. Hopefully there can be an update to make it a little easier to play the game without spending money but I doubt that will ever happen.

I don’t rate games unless they’re amazing or horrible

Love this game! Very fun. Not too easy but not too hard where I don’t want to play anymore for awhile or get sick of it. I’ve played basically every day since downloading! This game is awesome. Once you figure out the strats it’s even better. And I love how they change up so the same strats don’t always work. Also love the events, which ever one they just had (don’t know the name) it was so addicting! I couldn’t stop to play the main game (no offense to the main, that event was just dope) there’s another event in 2 days and I’m excited! Awesome game! 10/10 would recommend. Can’t think of a single complaint honestly! I’m sure there has to be ONE thing I’ve had an issue with but I can’t even think of it if there was. Edit right after: maybe the only MINOR complaint is the money. It’s so hard to upgrade your base AND cards, but being as you can play endlessly it doesn’t really matter. (As opposed to games that give you lives and then it takes HOURS to refill)
