  • gameplay
    81 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The unique mechanic for building the dungeon makes for a lot of interesting levels.”
    • “But I got really bored and uninterested in the questionable mechanics at the halfway point.”
    • “Repetitive gameplay and level design, upgrade tree is identical to other series, seemingly useless tower upgrades, and an ice yeti enemy is so pathetically designed as a bullet sponge that basically ruins the entire game going forward.”
    • “The game began introducing dumb mechanics that would draw you out of the experience and remind you that it hadn't been developed super well.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally described as clean and simple, appealing to low-end devices while maintaining a fun and entertaining aesthetic. While some users appreciate the cute art style and smooth gameplay, there are calls for improvements to meet modern standards, particularly regarding the size and detail of enemy graphics. Overall, the visuals are considered decent for a tower defense game, though opinions vary on their quality and impact on gameplay.

    • “Add to that cute graphics and smooth polished gameplay, and you've got a recipe for greatness.”

    • “However, I'd like to see graphics improved to today's standards, and the addition of new levels with new enemies and defenses!”
    • “I've played tower defense games with comparable graphics that run considerably faster and don't regularly threaten to crash my phone.”
    • “Tries so hard to be cool with the bombastic music and epic story, but falls flat on its face in visuals.”
  • replayability
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers a mixed experience in terms of replayability. While features like the relic and maps system, as well as a survival mode, enhance replay value for many players, some feel that once optimal strategies are discovered, the replayability diminishes. However, the freedom of choice and upgrade mechanics provide enough incentive for players to revisit the game.

    • “The relic system certainly improves the replay value.”
    • “Relics and maps make the levels replayable, and the survival mode is a good challenge for end game players.”
    • “Good replayability, there is freedom of choice.”
    • “Fun game that is still pretty well balanced, though just a bit short. I wish there was a better survival mode to add some replayability.”
    • “Amusing for a bit, but poor replay value.”
    • “Maxing out lightning towers makes the game a little too easy, but survival mode is where the real replayability is.”
  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews on the aspect of "grinding" indicate a mixed experience; while some players appreciate the minimal grinding required on easier levels, others find the game becomes tedious and overly grindy after a certain point, particularly when facing challenging levels or powerful enemies. A few users express frustration with the need for grinding or spending money to progress, suggesting that the balance between fun and grind can be off-putting. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a potential barrier to enjoyment for some players.

    • “I'm not planning on grinding all the way back up to where I was, so I guess I just can't play any further.”
    • “Great game, becomes a little grindy after about 15 levels unless you're spending cash on the game.”
    • “Lvl 11 is impossible without grinding/pay to play due to overpowered yetis.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the game's story, with some players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and additional content to enhance gameplay. While the scenario missions are generally well-received, the survival mode's mechanics detract from the overall experience, and the visuals fail to match the ambitious storytelling aspirations. Additionally, the presence of ads during the tutorial has led to frustration among players, impacting their enjoyment of the story elements.

    • “Decent fun, gets repetitive, needs a storyline, why are we digging?”
    • “Same genre game, same story... built to pay to play.”
    • “Great game, would love a bit more storyline and more to do just so I can keep playing.”
    • “If you could maybe add a story mode but don't interfere with the levels.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received positive feedback, particularly highlighting the epic quality of the boss wave and final wave scores, reminiscent of cinematic scores by Two Steps From Hell. However, some players suggest disabling the music due to its overwhelming nature, while others appreciate it as a strong aspect of the overall experience.

    • “Special mention to the music - the final wave score is epic.”
    • “Great game... good music... nice strategic upgrade system... the only thing missing, daily quests.”
    • “I suggest you disable the music though.”
    • “The boss wave music is something like a score by TSFH.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users experiencing significant performance issues that detracted from their enjoyment, while others noted that it runs smoothly. Suggestions for improvement include features like a corpse decay option to enhance performance. Overall, the game's optimization appears to be a point of contention among players.

    • “Runs smoothly.”
    • “Stars reduced due to performance issues.”
    • “Game was fun, but the performance was bad for a simple 2D game.”
    • “Would like to see a corpse decay option for optimization.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players report a stable gaming experience with no significant glitches or bugs. However, there are concerns regarding specific mechanics, such as the freezing effect on towers when certain enemies die, which could be adjusted for better balance.

    • “One thing though, if an enemy freezes towers upon death, the fire tower should not be affected by that, or it should have a shorter freeze duration!”
    • “An enemy that is impossible to slow down, has a lot of health, and on top of that, it freezes your towers when it dies.”
    • “Fun game with cool dynamics for building, but there are glitches and bugs so far!”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its clever take on the digging mechanic, providing a fun and challenging experience, especially in the 'challenge' mode. Players appreciate the balance of difficulty, finding it amusing without being frustrating, and enjoy the absence of annoying ads. Overall, the game successfully combines humor with engaging gameplay.

    • “It gives a funny spin on a great game mechanic with the digging, and provides a 'challenge' mode when you play the level a second time for the relic.”
    • “Super funny, not too easy, sometimes quite difficult but never frustrating.”
    • “Great game, no annoying ads, challenging and funny!”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
