  1. [R4] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Where are the soldiers?: I’ll change my rating back after they give the soldiers back. I used to play this game a lot but got bored of the repetitive maps after getting to level 1200. I installed it back after a couple of years of not having it but now the soldiers are gone!? Update the game again and remove all the stupid ads. Theres way more than there used to be
  2. [R5] Castle Wreck 4/5 · US What happened: Bro what happened to the people, I’ve been playing so long, now the people are gone…it’s not really worth playing…fix it…please. I’m prob your longest playing player
  3. [R8] Castle Wreck 4/5 · US Great game!!! Slight bug…: I love this game so much, and I play it all the time!!! But recently I haven’t been seeing the little soldiers on the castles but I see the emojis pop up. Can this be fixed??
  4. [R11] Castle Wreck 5/5 · US update: they’ve changed this game so much. I used to really love playing it. I’ve been playing it for years since the latest update. There’s so many ads now you can’t even play the game anymore. That’s disappointing. This used to be a fun game and now you can’t play it without an Internet the ads are constant. They got rid of the soldiers. It’s not fun to play anymore. It’s just an ad read game.
  5. [R6] Castle Wreck 3/5 · US This game has changed: I feel I have limited control of the cannon,& the accuracy is difficult for controlling the aim
  6. [R39] Castle Wreck 3/5 · US Mr. Fogler: I love the game but there is no sound. The ads have sound but the game does not. I assume there is supposed to be sound.
  7. [R42] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Too Difficult to Aim: Too many ads too much money too difficult to aim the cannon ball.
  8. [R19] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Ads don’t close: I can’t stand ads but when it takes minutes to close a mandatory ad it is unacceptable
  9. [R35] Castle Wreck 4/5 · US Fixed the bad TNT update but not what it was before: As others have stated, the TNT is no longer working like it has for years and the game is a lot less fun, along with certain levels being unplayable. Edit: this has been fixed, but now the TNT triggers huge explosion trains and the guys who fire the cannon (and cheer when it’s a perfect shot) have disappeared. Just go back 2 versions. That was
  10. [R37] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Cant play offline anymore: The ads have gotten so bad, they even made it so you have to be connected to the internet to play the game now. I used to have this game just to play on airplanes and stuff but sadly not anymore, gotta praise the almighty dollar I guess. All hail capitalism!
  11. [R41] Castle Wreck 5/5 · US Fun: I actually started playing this again a few days ago. Apparently there was a bug that prevented the barrels from exploding that has been fixed. However, I actually liked the bug 😂now that the game is fixed it is way too easy. Either way, it’s a fun game of destruction
  12. [R1] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Don’t download: Way, way too many ads…one ad for each and every level and a level takes about 20-30 seconds to complete…horrible
  13. [R2] Castle Wreck 4/5 · US Disappointed: Win a level, watch an ad. Lose a level, watch an ad. Do anything, watch an ad. This is ridiculous! It was fun playing but I am deleting it.
  14. [R3] Castle Wreck 3/5 · US Ads: I would like this game more if there was an option to remove ads.
  15. [R7] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Fun game, no way to pay to get rid of ad: This game is a lot of fun, but there is no mechanism in which to pay the $2.99 to get rid of ads. And a 30 second ad pops up after each 30 second level. Oh well, this one's getting deleted.
  16. [R10] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Too many ads!: Where is the option to remove ads?
  17. [R15] Castle Wreck 3/5 · US Fun but has some issues: I remember playing this game years ago, and it was very addicting! I just redownloaded it on a different device, and it’s different. The main game is still the same, but the No Ads option is no longer there. There used to be guards on the castle that just disappeared (The emoji reactions are still there though)! And the people that would cheer when you did a nice shot are
