  • monetization22 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players criticizing the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay and the aggressive push towards in-app purchases. Users report a frustrating experience where watching ads is often necessary to progress, and even those who pay for an ad-free experience still encounter issues with ads and game functionality. Overall, the game is perceived as a cash grab, prioritizing monetization over player enjoyment.

    • “This game lets you access the no ads option very early, which I purchased.”
    • “The game has potential, but the problem is it's pay-to-win just like any other games on this site. You have to pay or watch advertisements from the first level. No one has time for that. If people want to waste their time watching ads all day, maybe you should make a better game without all that useless stuff that probably doesn't even amount to anything.”
    • “Discouraging active play while trying to shove in-app purchases in my face constantly is an awful player experience.”
    • “Just another obvious cash grab, crammed with as many pop-up store ads, ads between every loading screen, ads to actually get rewards for completing goals, and third-party product ads as possible.”
  • gameplay10 mentions

    The gameplay of this idle turret defense game is polarizing; while some players appreciate its free-to-play model and find it enjoyable, others criticize it for being boring, unintuitive, and lacking depth compared to similar titles. Many users note that the mechanics feel derivative and that upgrades often seem ineffective, leading to a mixed reception overall.

    • “Unlike other idle games I have tried, this is the only one that allows free gameplay without having to spend money.”
    • “The game is well worth it and it helps support the devs. Gameplay is straightforward; it is an idle(ish) turret defense.”
    • “This is just too fun! I used to have a favorite game that was better than this one, even though I wasn't initially interested in tower defense. Thanks to your ad, I was able to see what the game was actually like. My favorite game, Geometry Defense, has been removed, but this is just as fun, which makes me love this game so much.”
    • “Gameplay is as bad, boring, and unintuitive as most of the games in the exact style.”
    • “Very limited, boring gameplay with most of the upgrades being useless and a waste of progress other than attack speed and damage.”
    • “Gameplay barely exists.”
  • grinding7 mentions

    Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, noting that significant time investment is required to progress, especially in later levels where enemies become disproportionately stronger. Many feel that the game leans towards a pay-to-win model, with grinding often feeling tedious and unproductive, exacerbated by a lack of auto-upgrade options and a gacha system that complicates advancement. Overall, while the game has potential, the grinding aspect detracts from the experience, making it feel unnecessarily drawn out.

    • “The game has potential, but the problem is it's pay-to-win, just like any other games on this site. You are trying to get people to play it, but the first level requires you to pay or watch advertisements. No one has time for that. If people want to waste their time watching ads all day and slowly grinding in this game, maybe you should make a better game without all that useless stuff that probably doesn't even amount to anything.”
    • “S2 begins with about 150% of S1 max stats for enemies, and S3 Boss 1 has 15 times more health than the final S2 boss, making it unbeatable without days of grinding or spending money.”
    • “It's not bad, but the incremental aspect can get a little choppy. It feels like they designed it specifically so that after a point, you'll have to spend money or put days and days of grinding to achieve the same amount of progress.”
  • music7 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some players find it enjoyable and fitting, others quickly grow bored and wish for a greater variety of tracks. Additionally, technical issues with music playback when switching apps have been noted, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The music is good though.”
    • “This game is really enjoyable and the music is great.”
    • “Amazing game; however, have more selections of music just like these.”
    • “Played for about 4 hours, got bored of the music, so I tried to play my own through my music app.”
    • “The music pauses when I reopen the app; I play it, go back to it, and it pauses... fix this, then I'll get back to it.”
    • “Amazing game; however, I wish there were more music selections like these.”
  • story3 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is hindered by technical issues, as players report being unable to access key features like quests and card selection, which limits their ability to progress beyond the tutorial mission. This lack of functionality detracts from the overall narrative experience.

    • “When you click the workshop and then try to access other features like quests, you can't pick a card because it doesn't pop up.”
    • “The rewards for quests or skills are not satisfying.”
    • “You can't access options; the game forces you to select a card, but it won't let you equip it, so you can only play the tutorial mission.”
  • stability3 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous glitches and bugs reported by users, leading to a frustrating experience. The user interface is criticized for its poor design, and the prevalence of intrusive microtransactions further detracts from gameplay. Overall, players advise against engaging with the game due to its lack of polish and stability.

    • “Stay away from this dreadfully boring and buggy game full of nagging buttons and pop-ups to buy stuff.”
    • “The HUD looks terrible; it has more glitches than the average Call of Duty game, and the microtransactions are worse than EA in 2017. I don't think you can keep this game running; we will take you down.”
    • “The game is full of glitches. I don't know if the developers tried to play before they launched it or what.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally considered subpar, with users noting lag and issues such as pop-up windows failing to open, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game concept shows potential, the execution, particularly in terms of visual quality, leaves much to be desired.

    • “Really laggy experience; the graphics are okay, but any kind of pop-up window won't open (e.g., rewards, abilities, etc.). The game concept is good, but the execution is lacking. It needs some work, but it's really good (the pop-up window bug is the reason I gave it a two-star rating).”
    • “Literally idle tower defense but with the worst graphics; couldn't copy it more precisely.”
