The monetization strategy of the game is mixed, with many players appreciating that ads are optional and not forced upon them, allowing for a more enjoyable experience. However, there are significant concerns about the game's difficulty curve, which some feel pushes players towards microtransactions to progress, leading to perceptions of it being a "pay-to-win" model. Overall, while the game offers a free experience with minimal intrusive ads, the aggressive promotion of in-game purchases and the rapid scaling of difficulty have left some players feeling frustrated and viewing it as a cash grab.
“This would have been a 4 star at least... in fact 5 because there are no ads unless you ask for them.”
“Starts out pretty fun but the difficulty scales up ridiculously quite quickly as a clear play to push players into microtransactions to progress without extensive grinding of earlier levels.”
“A great tower defense that curbs too fast in a transparent bid for microtransactions.”
“Starts out pretty fun but the difficulty scales up ridiculously quite quickly as a clear play to push players into microtransactions to progress without extensive grinding of earlier levels to eke out a tiny bit of progress after days or weeks of playing the same missions repeatedly and constantly bombarding you with pop-ups for 'deals' on premium currency, heroes, pets and so on.”
“This game is clearly pay-to-win and it's absurdly filled with ads.”
“Paid for the 'no more ads'... game is still covered in 'click here to buy stuff' prompts to voluntarily watch ads, or post-level prompts to buy more stuff.”

Overall, the graphics of the game receive high praise for their quality and appeal, with many users expressing satisfaction and noting them as a standout feature. However, some critiques mention a desire for improved art style and animations, as well as a few comparisons to previous versions that were perceived as having better graphics. Despite these mixed opinions, the visuals are generally regarded as impressive and engaging.
“Love the game so far, great gameplay and great graphics.”
“Amazing graphics.”
“Great game and graphics.”
“This game is actually really good and unique; the only thing that needs to change is the art style and animations. But other than that, it's pretty good.”
“Worse than the first one: poorer graphics and $7 to buy one character?”
“The graphics are really bad; it would have been great if the visuals were better, but it's hard to play and you need to top up.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively demanding, often requiring months of effort to make meaningful progress. While the game starts off enjoyable, the rapid increase in difficulty and the push towards microtransactions lead to a repetitive and frustrating experience, making the grinding feel tedious and unfulfilling. Overall, many feel that the game leans heavily towards a pay-to-win model, diminishing the enjoyment of grinding.
“Unless you plan on grinding for months on end, don't expect to make any progress.”
“Starts out pretty fun but the difficulty scales up ridiculously quite quickly as a clear play to push players into microtransactions to progress without extensive grinding of earlier levels to eke out a tiny bit of progress after days or weeks of playing the same missions repeatedly and constantly bombarding you with pop-ups for 'deals' on premium currency, heroes, pets and so on.”
“Fun game at first, but it gets to be too grindy and with so much grinding... it gets very boring.”

The gameplay is generally well-designed and visually appealing, offering a slick experience in the initial levels. However, it quickly becomes challenging, often requiring in-game purchases to progress, which may not be suitable for younger players due to the potential for costly transactions. While some players appreciate the strategic elements, others find the gameplay repetitive and lacking in variety.
“It is a well put together game with great design and mechanic choices.”
“I love this game, the game not only has unique gameplay but it's also strategy.”
“Beautiful game with awesome gameplay.”
“The gameplay is actually pretty slick on the first batch of levels but becomes near impossible very quickly unless you are willing to buy a hero or upgraded tower, spend gems on power-ups, etc. Do not put it on a device that a child has access to because the 'deals' that they're pushing are quite expensive and a few seconds could cost hundreds.”
“Pros: free, ads are voluntary, not a pay-to-play. Cons: extremely boring gameplay, virtually the same level every time, designated tower points. All in all, get it if you have unlimited data and are already charging your phone; otherwise, it's a drain for nothing worthwhile.”
“The gameplay is extremely repetitive and lacks variety, making it feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”

The game's stability is significantly compromised, with numerous bugs causing levels to freeze and preventing completion after certain waves. Players report issues such as endless waves, glitches that hinder replayability, and a lack of clear monster descriptions, indicating a need for improved balance and functionality. Overall, the current version is viewed as less stable than its predecessor.
“Currently, the sea world boss fight is buggy; after the 5th wave, nothing happens. The boss is killed, but no enemies spawn, and the level is frozen from that point.”
“The game has poor balance, with some waves being never-ending and glitches that prevent you from replaying stages in different modes.”
“Quite buggy; some levels do not complete after finishing all rounds and just hang.”

The game's story is praised for its creativity and simplicity, making it engaging despite the challenges posed by gameplay mechanics. However, players note that the increasing difficulty can feel overwhelming, often pushing them towards microtransactions to progress, which detracts from the overall experience.
“The game is nice, and the story is simple. I really love the creativity behind the story since it's not easy to create one for such a game.”
“I believe this game can compete with paid ones. I'm extremely satisfied with the graphics, audio, and story. It's very addictive, and while some levels are quite difficult, it encourages you to build a proper strategy for upgrading your towers as you play.”
“The story starts out pretty fun, but the difficulty scales up ridiculously quickly, clearly pushing players into microtransactions to progress. It forces you to grind earlier levels for minimal progress after days or weeks of repetitive missions, all while bombarding you with pop-ups for deals on premium currency, heroes, pets, and more.”
