Reviews
- Strangely addictive gameplay with a unique base-building mechanic that allows for strategic play against other players.
- Short match times (under 5 minutes) make it easy to play without feeling like a grind, and there is a sense of progress as you unlock new items and characters.
- The art style and theme are fitting, and the game shows potential for future development, especially with the addition of more characters and game modes.
- The game has been criticized for being pay-to-win, with essential heroes and towers locked behind a paywall and limited free currency.
- There are significant issues with matchmaking, often resulting in players being matched with bots instead of real opponents, leading to a lack of genuine PvP experience.
- The game has been described as a cash grab, with many reviewers feeling it lacks originality and depth, drawing too heavily from other popular mobile games.
