gameplay7 positive mentions
monetization3 negative mentions
  • Unique and fun blend of tower defense, first-person shooter, and sandbox building elements.
  • Offers a lot of content and customization options, including various weapons, turrets, and bots.
  • Engaging gameplay with persistent leveling, upgrades, and multiplayer features that provide replayability.
  • The game frequently crashes on many devices, causing loss of progress and frustration.
  • In-app purchases required for many bots and content despite being a paid game; some players consider this unfair.
  • Multiplayer and co-op modes are often buggy or non-functional, with issues like no players found and connection errors.

  • monetization

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users generally find the game's monetization disappointing and inappropriate, criticizing the inclusion of in-app purchases in a paid game, especially as some items cost more than the game itself. Despite the game's quality and responsive developers, many feel it would benefit from removing microtransactions and implementing a more rewarding level progression system instead.

    • “I was a bit concerned as many are by the sight of 'in-app purchases,' but after reading some reviews I will gladly vouch for this game.”
    • “It has great graphics on a mobile game, has no ads, and very responsive developers; thank you for making this.”
    • “This game is fun and very well designed but for a paid game to have in-app purchases is just unacceptable. I think that this game would get tons more traffic if you just took out the in-app purchases and instead put some sort of level progression into the game that connected with the bots. Very disappointed that I have to write this comment about a paid game.”
    • “This is simply not an in-app purchase that gives you resources, and some of those bots I believe cost even more than the game itself.”
    • “The game is great but I just hate how you have to grind so much, the controls are clunky, and the in-app purchases are awful.”

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised as fun, engaging, and great for killing time, though some users note issues like limited control quality, lack of gamepad support, and restrictions on in-game purchases and content access. Additionally, challenges in multiplayer modes and occasional crashes slightly affect the experience. Overall, the gameplay is well-received but has room for improvement in controls, content delivery, and stability.

    • “Most of their games are fun and engaging gameplay.”
    • “Really cool and awesome gameplay, albeit there's no way to get more powerful turrets without going through survival mode and farming that, even in sandbox mode. I love this game other than that!”
    • “I like the gameplay and find it to be pretty fun, but when I try to do the co-op and arena mode, it says no one's online, so I'm not sure if it's my connection or something else.”
    • “Gameplay is very good but the control isn't good enough.”
    • “I love gameplay but not being able to transfer purchases is a big letdown because I've spent a lot of money on minerals. I also wish it had gamepad support like Minecraft so I could play with a controller.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users generally praise the game's graphics as impressive and well-suited for a mobile platform, describing them as visually appealing and enhancing the overall experience. However, some suggest improvements in graphical quality and controls for an even better experience.

    • “It has great graphics on a mobile game, has no ads, and very responsive devs. Thank you for making this.”
    • “I would have rather had the movement system like Minecraft when building, but overall amazing game with great visuals with little lag, if any.”
    • “I already thought this was the best game out there, but now it's almost like a piece of artwork!”
    • “I love the game and all but they need to improve with the graphics”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences frequent freezing and glitches, particularly during actions like reloading and building, leading to long load times and occasional crashes. Users find it buggy and unpolished, significantly impacting gameplay stability.

    • “I purchased it on Android and it freezes a few moments into playing :( would give it 5 if they fix the bugs.”
    • “I would rate it 5 stars but every time I reload my guns the game freezes for a few seconds and after a while I stopped using my guns altogether because of that problem.”
    • “Loading the game takes forever then when I do anything like reload or build something in the game it freezes the gameplay for a few seconds and half the time the app closes out for no reason.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features enjoyable gameplay but requires a significant amount of grinding, particularly for crafting and acquiring more powerful turrets, which can be a drawback for some players.

    • “Really cool and awesome gameplay, albeit there's no way to get more powerful turrets without going through survival mode and farming that, even in sandbox mode. I love this game other than that!”
    • “Like the game but too much grinding for crafting.”
    • “Pretty good but grindy.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express interest in the addition of a story mode and quests, suggesting the inclusion of allies to enhance the gameplay experience.

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game for its well-designed structure and claim it offers virtually infinite replayability, keeping the experience fresh and engaging over time.

    • “Very well designed and has infinite replayability.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game may experience lag on certain devices like the HTC One, but disabling specific features such as Beats Audio can significantly improve performance and optimization.

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised as great, creating an engaging environment; however, some users experience performance issues such as lag on certain devices, indicating a need for optimization.
