Really fun tower defense game!
     
by wwjd04bh · January 18, 2026

This game has a good amount of challenge but isn’t to hard, and this game also has sick graphics. I highly suggest this game!

Great, but requires a lot of grinding
     
by Anubis_sphink · February 11, 2026

Title says all but this, the heroes locked behind the paywall is sooo annoying!

Out of date

Needs an update. Does’t work right on 2018 iPad

Great idea, bad execution
     
by TrizzyPlayz · September 1, 2025

Enjoyed the first 20 minutes of the game, but it is quite literally impossible to 3 star any map on the easiest mode mind you past level 3. Which on casual it should be casual. I’ve played my fair share of games but this one is just difficult right off the bat. No reason for it to be that hard to 3 star any map on the easiest mode. Kids would definitely be upset as I was upset at that fact.

Frustrating to watch ads and not get rewards
     
by Not happy gamerx · July 21, 2025

In order to complete some levels, you need assistance. When I watch a 45 second ad and don’t get compensated for my time, I get frustrated. This happens a lot on your app.

Honestly a good and commendable game
