1. [R3] The Tower 3/5 · US Only 4 levels, unfinished game: You run out of content very quickly. Only four chapters/levels. Ran out of things to do in just a couple hours. There’s a whole currency system for “diamonds” but there’s nowhere to spend them. This is a proof of concept more than a game.
2. [R59] Tower War 3/5 · GB Good until it becomes pay to win: Really loved the game to start and did about 500 normal levels but after a day or two of playing it just becomes pay to win. You can’t hardly advance and every player you come up against seems to have paid £80 PER UNIT for the most advanced ones. £240 in total you can’t hardly advance buy most games consoles for that price!!! Absolutely mad. Real shame they did th
3. [R81] Tower War 2/5 · GB Great at first.: The game is great when you first download but it very quickly becomes pay to play. I’m stuck at level 24 with all my ‘army’ as I need tokens to upgrade beyond that. Tokens which are only available to buy at £24 each (or you may get one with a battle pass which is £15 and lasts 10 days). So £72 to upgrade then no doubt the same again in a few levels. Or you could just pay £80 for t
4. [R1] The Tower 2/5 · US Fun game, but can’t close ads: It’s a fun game and I am trying to get the bonus ad gems, but after watching the ads, it is impossible to close the ads without closing out of the app, which makes you lose the gems. It looks like you can play the game in the ad, but I’m not doing all that. I even tried reporting an ad to get it to close. It stated clearly that would close the ad, but forfeit any rew
5. [R8] The Tower 4/5 · US Ads crash the game: It’s a fun game, but watching ads for rewards crashes the game. the ad plays, it says reward granted, but when you click the x button the whole app freezes until you restart it. it doesn’t give me the rewards, nor does it give me credit towards completing the daily missions.
6. [R62] Tower War 3/5 · GB is an ad after EVERY round really necessary?: honestly this game is cute but the ads are actually ridiculous and to remove them is even more ridiculous, i get the developers have to earn some how but an ad after EVERY SINGLE level is actually not necessary it’s way too much and i have to come off the game and chill cause it truly does annoy me more than it actually should but i think it’s cause th
7. [R71] Tower War 3/5 · GB So MANY ADS!!: The game is good and fun to play, I’ve given it a 3 star because of the ads. After every single game you get an ad, half the time you can’t skip them for ages. What’s the point in giving people the option to watch an ad to get extra coins/ points, them clicking no then still being shown an ad anyway? Game would be so much better if there was less ads as they got annoying after a whi
8. [R6] The Tower 3/5 · US Recent bug: I’ve been experiencing a bug where I don’t earn anymore gold or cash after a good amount of waves. Last time this happened I was in wave 502 and I wanted to continue the game later. After I resume to the same game, it glitches and I don’t earn anymore gold or cash.
9. [R7] The Tower 2/5 · US Purchases aren’t recorded: I paid for a few perks, simply because I enjoyed the game. My phone had problems, had to reinstall everything, was unable to get my perks back without purchasing them a second time. Feels crooked, so I moved on to something else.
10. [R91] Tower War 1/5 · GB Good game but lost all data: I was on level 3000+ when my son accidentally deleted the app, I re-download it to find it lost all the data including items paid for and started me from scratch again I contact the developer to be old there nothing they can do it doesn’t save game play Waste of money buying any packages but a good game in general Back up and would be 5 stars but not if you can take
11. [R92] Tower War 2/5 · GB Broken ads: Ads keep freezing then any rewards are lost as have to restart the app, fix ASAP
12. [R4] The Tower 1/5 · US To hard: This game is fun but it just to hard to play and to much p2w
13. [R14] The Tower 1/5 · US Pay to win.: Garbage
14. [R80] Tower War 4/5 · GB Great game - naive pricing: Hi all - I enjoy the game a lot, and have played it a lot so have paid to remove ads. I want to spend a little more money now to reward the developer for the great game … but the prices are farcical - £23.99 for a basic upgrade pack!! I might have spent £5 at a time on lots of incremental payments, instead I’ll never spend £24 on some loot. A shame and poor business acu
15. [R100] Tower War 2/5 · GB Absurd micro transactions: The game is fun but charges £80 for top tier units. It is ridiculous. They give all the enemies these units (that are massively overpowered) making it near impossible to get past a certain point without spending £240(!!) to get those same units. This greed is appalling and ruins what could be an otherwise solid game with lots of progression and replayability.
16. [R87] Tower War 1/5 · GB Rigged & zero customer service 🤬: Twice I’ve written to support & both times there response sucked, they don’t give a monkeys about any of there customers. Never touch anything in the arena store, it’s an instant purchase with no double check on an accidental click & when you write to complain they will cite T&C rather than use some customer service & undo there own badly scripted game. You can
17. [R51] Tower War 1/5 · GB Pay to play: Don’t download
18. [R55] Tower War 5/5 · GB Best game ever: This is the best game ever and it’s so addicting im already on level 200 and it’s not even been a week 😋 I love it I play all the time
