    • “I love the art style, the story, and the quests.”
    • “Action packed, addictive, cool concept having heroes that you can pick and upgrade... awesome graphics, great story/plot, and even has a sense of humor too... best tower defense game I've ever played!”
    • “The story is fun, the characters are attractive, and the game doesn't force you to play in some ways; I like it.”
    • “I will give it two stars due to the fact that I have been playing for almost a year now and the development team or the story team has been recycling the content non-stop... I mean for real, how many times do I have to defeat Korgasa or the Necromancer King in the defeat the Warlord event.”
    • “Would invest to keep playing, but no end to the storyline, just says more levels 'coming soon' for months...”
    • “Loved this game but when I got farther in the storyline, gold became harder to get which makes the piled cards unusable.”
  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its solid mechanics, addictive nature, and impressive graphics, making it enjoyable for many players. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the lack of strategic depth, reliance on pay-to-win mechanics, and issues with unit responsiveness and resource management. While some players find the gameplay satisfying and engaging, others feel it is hindered by these shortcomings, suggesting a need for improvements in strategy and balance.

    • “The gameplay is addictive and impressive; it's so satisfying to see characters move, enemies react, and how they make characters talk like it's a story mode. It may get harder when going up levels, and sometimes we can't complete a level without in-game purchase resources, but it's a good game to give a try.”
    • “Honestly, I think the gameplay for this game is exactly what most people are looking for when scrolling through this category of games. I wish the graphics were better, but I can deal with it since the gameplay is borderline perfect.”

    • “The gameplay, however, is abysmal because controllable units are unresponsive and it's hard to select them.”
    • “This game has the potential to be great but the lack of ways to make gold cripples gameplay fairly quickly.”
    • “Cool game but way too long tutorial and slow gameplay for my taste.”
  • monetization
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of in-game purchases and the necessity of spending money to progress, especially at higher levels. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, issues with ad functionality and the perception of a cash grab have led to dissatisfaction. Overall, the game is seen as fun but heavily reliant on microtransactions, which can hinder the experience.

    • “The gameplay is addictive and impressive; it's so satisfying to see characters move, enemies react, and how they make characters talk like it's a story mode. It may get harder when going to upper levels, and sometimes we can't complete levels without in-game purchase resources. Well, it's a good game to give it a try.”
    • “You can also boost the excitement with in-app purchases.”
    • “The game is fun, but it revolves around microtransactions that can make it far easier than intended.”
    • “The game and the story are fun, but it's either poorly designed and allows a player to fall far behind the rank requirements, or it was planned this way as a cash grab.”
    • “Many levels are impossible without using in-game purchased items.”
    • “My only issue is that you get to a certain point where you can no longer progress without in-game purchases.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be a mixed experience; while some players enjoy the replay value and find it rewarding to grind for upgrades, others feel it becomes tedious and frustrating due to the slow progression and reliance on random rewards. Many users express that the game forces them to either grind extensively or spend real money to compete effectively, leading to a sense of imbalance in gameplay. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as both a source of enjoyment for some and a significant drawback for others, particularly due to its impact on game difficulty and progression.

    • “There is no farming of defeated levels to make money to upgrade, thereby forcing you to pay real money to be able to compete on the upper levels.”
    • “The levels quickly become too hard and require upgrades that will require a lot of level grinding to get the cards for upgrades or a lot of money.”
    • “Not enough room to list all of the issues; the mandatory tutorial is painfully long; grinding is slow with random rewards that often are worthless; the difficulty rating system is only based on total upgrades, not relevant upgrades; and the hero AI (which enemy to target) is the worst, almost bad enough to look like manipulative sabotage.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality and polish, likening it to the epic style of 2 Steps from Hell. However, some players express a dislike for certain tracks, describing them as "cringe," while others appreciate the overall audio experience, including sound effects.

    • “Nice visuals and audio are necessary for a great game, and this one has good polish in terms of music, SFX, and visuals.”
    • “And the background music is outstanding.”
    • “I love the game and the music; some of it is similar to 2 Steps from Hell.”
    • “No one wants to listen to your cringe game music.”
    • “I hate forced tutorials and I normally turn my sounds and music off.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs and glitches causing it to freeze during gameplay, particularly when upgrading items. Many users report being unable to progress due to these freezes, leading to frustration and the need to uninstall the game. Despite its visual appeal, the persistent stability problems overshadow its potential.

    • “Bugs and glitches constantly occur.”
    • “I think there's a bug after the 3rd mission... well for me anyway... can't get past upgrading lance once the free chest is opened... there is no way to skip the tutorial or to bypass it... offline or online... it just freezes... sadly will have to delete... looks awesome though.”
    • “It freezes all the damn time.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's strong replayability, noting that its engaging grind and rewarding progression system keep them coming back even after years. The option to play without spending money, while still allowing for quicker progression through purchases, enhances the overall enjoyment and encourages ongoing support for the developers.

    • “Two and a half years later, I'm still playing this game and I love it so much! It's a really good game to play if you enjoy grinding. The replay value is so fun; I just love it. They let you play the game to get what you want without having to buy anything. You only need to purchase if you want to progress quicker, but I love the grinding, and for that, I buy things from the company from time to time to support them.”
    • “The variety of choices and paths you can take in this game makes every playthrough feel fresh and exciting. I find myself coming back to it again and again, discovering new strategies and experiences each time.”
    • “This game has incredible replayability! Each time I play, I find new challenges and ways to approach the game. It never feels stale, and I love that I can always come back for more.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is hindered by an unusual currency system and a ranking mechanism that prioritizes donations over actual performance, leading to player frustration and a lack of fair competition.

    • “The currency system is odd, and rankings are based on donations rather than actual performance.”
    • “The optimization feels lacking, as the game often struggles to run smoothly even on high-end hardware.”
    • “There are frequent bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, indicating poor optimization overall.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the humor in the game to be enjoyable, with some noting it adds to the fun of the experience. However, there are complaints about the monetization practices, which some describe as frustratingly comical, particularly when dealing with customer service issues related to in-game purchases. Overall, while the humor is appreciated, it is overshadowed by concerns about value for money.

    • “Not the most challenging so far, but a fun tower game with nice progression and humor.”
