Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy visually appealing and strategic tower defense games and don't mind a significant grind or spending money on in-app purchases to progress R19R42. It might also appeal to those looking for a casual time-waster with good core mechanics .
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning monetization and lack of updates, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a significant decline in user satisfaction over time, possibly due to changes in monetization strategy or abandonment of content development. The developer's notes are generic and do not address the specific issues raised by users.

- [R5] A great game: This game is very fun, I haven’t noticed any bugs or glitches and I think the concept is very neat. It is a unique, awesome game that brings a lot of fun to people like me who play it like me. I personally love this game in every way and I would rate a five out of five stars. I totally recommend this game to any of you people who like alien games, and wave defense games.
- [R9] GRATE GAME!!!: This game is super fun you get to strategize where to put your towers and infantry, so the aliens don’t get into your base.
- [R34] Addicting: Great graphics and gameplay! 5 ⭐️
- [R59] Thomas’ review: This is a brilliant game and me and my sisters love it because it’s challenging,fun and it has super duper good graphics
- [R65] Rare honest review: So yeah I like tower defence games. It’s a good way to pass a few spare minutes hehehehe. This one is really good. Great graphics. Good maps. Great way to customise the turrets. This one does need some strategy so watch out for that hehehehe. Not too many ads doesn’t slow game play at all. Prices for the extra characters is much too high. But you do need that second one. Overal
- [R36] Good till lvl 30: I like the way you can play the same level at different difficulties. Level 30 seems a bit lopsided unless you want to pay. Still one of the better tower defense games if you have patience to wait for the upgrades. Also noticed all my gems disappeared at level 30.
- [R19] Addictive game: I love playing the game. I got addicted to it and plaid to the last level 50 without paying for upgrades. You can spare a few bucks to support the developers if that won't break your kidney.
- [R42] It’s just OK.: You don’t need to spend to play, but there is that option. My largest gripe is its too short, both in levels available and duration of each map. My other complaint is the “tech wall”. You can grind or pay your way to every advance, but the game caps what you can use based on levels. It’s not a deal breaker, bit i don’t like it.
- [R7] Creeps indeed. Don’t download.: Pay to Lose...Greedy cancer that needs to be cut out of society.
- [R10] Pay to win game: You might wonder why I am rating this a one star, well I will go on a rant now. First of all the free hero that you get is some guy called flak who is to say the least the worst hero in the game and that might be fine if it weren't for the fact that every single other hero is paid so you are stuck with a pathetic hero who is probably not even good until you reach level 18. Tl;dr
- [R15] Impossible cash grab game but good: Now I have played quite a bit of this game and I have enjoyed it. Though everyone is complaining about your game and you have taken no notice on the situation. So, I will summarize the current problems. First, everyone reaches the point where the game is impossible. I have reached this point and I am pulling my hair out. The level where you first encounter mirag
- [R23] Typical pay to progress game: I’d rather just pay the $4 up front. Instead you’ll get to defense level 30 or so and realize you don’t stand a chance unless you fork out some dough. I hate these nickel and dime pay to play games that flood the store these days.
- [R1] Amazing game but no content updates or new missions: I love this game so far had it for a few years but it gets boring there is never new updates just bug fixes no new missions or enemies I wish they can update it otherwise a fun game
- [R8] Good game if it had more levels.: I downloaded this game a few years ago, made a couple in-app purchases, beat all 50 levels, got 5 stars on each level, and played the occasional events. I really enjoyed the game and the story line but when I got to level 50... that was the end! The story line stops abruptly and doesn’t finish. The game looks like it continues but there are definitely NO more leve
- [R11] One of the best: Mos def'nitely one of the best games on the app store. High attention to detail, lots o fun...new levels are few and far between though. Woulda been 5 stars otherwise.
- [R17] Time for more levels: Great game. Very fun, but I’ve been playing it for a couple years now, and I’m ready for levels 51-100.
- [R2] False Claims on Advertisements: Ap claims a purchase will remove advertisements. This is not true! I made a purchase but was still getting ads between levels. Contacted their help function via chat. They told me the only way to sync was to login using FB. I didn’t want to do it but relented. Even after logging in w FB(and sharing more than they need in the process) i was still getting the ad
- [R13] Buggy: “Adverts” have doubled doubled or tripled: They say any purchase will eliminate adverts. THEY LIE! Since my purchase they offer additional energy for the levels, but instead of watching 1 Advert, it says you didn’t watch enough and brings up another. It goes up to 3 adverts taking 2-3 minutes to go on. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!
- [R18] Graphic not support: when i'm arrived at level 14 everthing is yellow &black line happen in my iphone 6 plus screen . Not seeing anything and can't play everything. So this is not a good game for your phon.Don't waste your internet to download this game because you can not play at level 14.
- [R25] Great game but needs urgent update: Game crashing on iPadOS 13.1
- [R27] Dumbest app ever: I love game so much I play this game for hours and brought two heroes and got them really high lev. But this happen not once but twice I switch my iPhone 4s to a iPhone 6+ then didn’t remember me and all my levs I did was gone. Then second time I got app again on my iPhone 6+ I give a another chance to enjoy this game again but this time my phone die because the rain storm. Then
- [R53] Bug in game: Can’t progress to site 11, days downloading content, been like it for weeks now
- [R32] THIS GAME IS AWESOME: It’s a very good tw game but you have to wait huge times for upgrades, like clash of clans but other than that it’s lit!
- [R73] Time wasting too much for upgrade: Too much time need for upgrade, defence game need to easy not like this. All heros need to buy, except weak one.
- [R79] I love the game: The game itself is good but the way they try to make people buy stuff it’s ridiculous specially the waiting time it takes about 1 day and half to update a weapon really!!! Unless you buy diamonds Not happy with this game with the way they made to make money only not for people to enjoy it.
- [R52] bad: The tutorial is so long that i feel very bad.
- [R62] This isn’t a game: It’s just an extended advertisement. They don’t even let you play the game. They literally hold your hand every step of the way and all you can do is click on what they tell you to. Waste of time and certainly not any fun.
- [R66] Angry, very angry: (New iPhone) -I can't skip tutorial -Lost all update and weapon! I’m so angry!
- [R85] Looks nice but sort your tutorial out.: For AT LEAST the first 10 minutes of gameplay is basically a tutorial which babies you so hard to the point where will literally only allow you to click the thing it wants you to click on. It’s annoying. Give the option to exit tutorial and not have all these stupid hints. Only way to stop it is if you have played the game before. I’m not far off deleting
- [R14] Would be the best TD except for one thing.: Not many TD games look as good as this for whatever reason TD games look cheesy and for the most part feel like something you play on a first generation Nintendo. The characters are wide ranging interesting and the story is top notch. That’s another strange thing about other TD games no story is involved or the story is an afterthought the story itself m
- [R16] ❤️: best game ever
- [R26] Adds: Eliminate adds
- [R128] Adds!!: Having to watch adds are sooooo annoying!!!!
