8 of 25Used to be a 5 star game, but it doesn’t let me save anymore and so I can’t continue my progress, save my purchased fortifications, collect medals etc. I have to start over from the beginning every time I play and it’s kind of sucking the fun out of the game for me. It used to just be press “save” after the round ends and it would think for a sec and save. Then I could leave the app, come back and keep playing where I left off. Now it pulls up a blank white screen with lines on it and a little + sign at the top. I’m assuming they were trying to make a feature to allow you to save multiple different games at once- but it doesn’t work and every time I press the + my app crashes and resets me back to the beginning. All points collected are lost, all fortifications gone. It’s really lame and not fun.
It would be nice to be able to save the game so I can start a new game on Heroic Mode. And for anyone else having this problem you are able to shut the game down and open it back up and start where you left off. And I also agree that they should update the game with blood and new spells. Still a fun game to play
You now make your paid gamer watch ads? After years of boasting of your awesome game I'll be deleting it now. Unbelievable. You make the noobs watch ads. Not a long time fan that's been playing your games long before pay to win became a thing. Delete.
There is ads due now the apps is free now..::
Great game. Only issue is it doesn't allow me to create save files. When I do it freezes. That means you can only have one current game file. Not a big deal. Incredible game overall
Update: Thank you guys for listening. I hope you guys make games as successful as this gem. The review below was from eight years ago. Back when the App Store was in its second year. It looks like the developers pushed an update six years since the last to take it off the naughty list (where it'll now run on iOS 11). While the game is intact and it feels a little crude given the time since it was released the problem that came up now is the fact that they've added ads in between levels. Considering I paid for this game, $2 at the time (not breaking the bank obviously but this is a point of principal), it's kind of a slap in the face. I'm all for supporting game developers and the devs do have the right to find other sources to make money on existing games. However the devs should make a separate free to play listing and leave this one intact. [[As an owner of both the Wiiware and iTouch version of this app i have got to say that this is the best app on both services. The graphics are funny and the achievement system is an awesome edition (iTouch version). This is such a great buy and a great time killer or for any ocasion. Buy this app now!]]
I love this game a lot it is great! I know this is ios but I would also purchase this game on steam if you added local multiplayer so I could play with my brother like i did on the wii. Anyways i do recommend this game it is very fun and good to pass time!
Would be super fun but can’t click on ok
