It is a good game, but I now have a gazillion points. I have just shy of 600k diamonds and I have purchased everything, but I get offered a spinning wheel that gives me 25 diamonds... 25 versus 600,000. No upgrades, no challenges... Great game that just kind of fizzles out. Dies as a game. Lots of potential but just doesn't grow with the player.

Do you like unskipable adds? Do you like infuriating enemies that will over power you until either you watch more adds, or spend money on in game currency? Then this is the game for you! After every other level, there is an add that you can't skip, and when you do get the option to, it's 5 seconds before it ends. You can't use tactics to win, because the enemies slaughter you before you have a chance to start until you use in game currency to level up. First time writing a review, it's that bad.

This app is really fun! You level up pretty quickly. My dad also really likes this game. There are so many things you can level yourself up to. The ads aren't wrong but there's one thing that doesn't bother me much. After you won the round you can click, "No thanks" to the 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x coins it will give you an add. But if you do the x coin you still get an add. I personally think that if you click, "No thanks" there's shouldn't be an ad.

Terrible game. Fieldstone off incase you don't already know this you can turn ads off for all games simply by turning on airplane mode. However this game freezes all the time. If you play with ads on to get gems or something ads freeze, game will freeze in the middle unexpectedly. They ask for a review almost out the gate, so I gave one only to see it didnt go through, dont know if its because it wasn't a high rating or because the game is just so bad it can't even connect. Save your time!!!

In short: Fun game that's exactly like it's ads, except riddled with ads and that ruins it for me. You think you finally found a great game to kill time that is exactly like the ad you probably saw for it. However after the first 5 levels you will have to watch an ad in between every level after. It has an interesting troop leveling that's missing normally from this type of game. However, if you'd like to level up a troop past level 2 you'll have to watch an ad to level it up.

The game premise is simple, and fairly fun, if repetitive. The mandatory advertisements between game levels are easy enough to avoid with a forced app closure and reopen. But there is a progress wall which requires more and more power creep to advance past. Combined with the knowledge after about 20 levels to just swarm the computer, the longevity of this game is limited. Definitely download it, and play for a few days, but move on, too.

Not bad, for an ad-based game. Lots of maps, but eventually gets repetitive. The after-map ads can be skipped after a few seconds and taps, but they are after every map. You can't skip the ads you choose to watch, of course, for extra gold or cool one-time troops. The Chapter and Stars bonus chests aren't very impressive, with the most I've received is 20 gold; you need up to 100 to level-up your troops.

Good concept, bad game balance. Game is either too hard or too easy depending on troop upgrades. Makes it less fun and feels more like a pointless time waster. Some levels are designed to be impossible to win unless you watch an ad and after watching the ad, the rest of the level is ridiculously easy. Would have rated 3 stars, but the game is designed to solicit ratings and only record it in the play store if you give a very high rating, which is dishonest.

While a good "time waster" game, there are aine issues hence the 3 star rating. Most levels are quite easy to beat, taking almost no thought process. However, you'll occasionally come across levels that just cannot be won. You can have 7 fully maxed towers against the AI's 1, but it doesn't matter,, you'll still lose. You can restart the level to try again, but it doesn't restart THAT level. It picks a random map for you to play on again.

Would have more stars if it didn't have such blaring and blatant problems. There is no balance in the game at all! One minute you could be winning by a landslide, and the next minute you get rolled by a bunch of AOE units even though your units are superior in strength, health, number, and everything else. Game also has fake leaderboard, cuz I was playing offline and it still displayed. If they fix these problems, I might edit my review.

I watch adds longer than I play. Wanted a mindless game to pass the time, not to watch people "make money" on apps. Also it takes you 3 different skip buttons to get out of a 30 second add (takes about 30 seconds for them all to pop up, so you aren't really skipping it). Some levels are impossible to beat unless you watch and add, and gain a "booster" Whoever chose it to be this way, you suck.

The game is TERRIBLE!!! Of course it's about ADS however if you do watch the AD to freeze it says " tap away" but that's BS you can tap 100 times & eventually you get 2 soldiers to FINALLY pop up. I've played 2 different levels where I've had the game 1 except 1 corner & still ended up losing. Their is no balance & the AI with 1 corner can overcome your 5 spots in seconds. That's not competition that's not even a game! PATHETIC!!

Game is very un-balanced. One level will be incredibly easy and the next will be impossibly difficult. I play a lot of these types of games and usually get bored when I get into the hundreds of levels but i deleted this after 20 levels or so. Can't even beat the levels with power ups. Could be fun but in the end it's just frustrating.

This game fun from the beginning, but at a point you'll be dragged down by the sheer need for boosters. The ads are a necessity to win and even then it's no guarantee, the game turns from an interesting time waster to an absolute slog where the cpu can fully upgrade in seconds and overrun you, while you wait frantically hoping your two or three soldiers can hold off a wave for just enough time so you drop another two or three down before you slowly die. It started good, but now it sucks.

ADS USE BLOCKADA! No ads the game is fun, now the game itself is great fun little game, but the 'upgrade' you spend 100 coins on isn't what you are led to believe, it does not permanently upgrade your units, it's a temporary upgrade that lasts about 4-5 rounds that degrades. If you want to upgrade you go from 1v3 with a single unit then next round 1v2 n so on, if you upgrade multiple times before a round it results the same decaying just as quick. I noticed this fairly quick n it needs fixing.

Actually requires ads to progress. A lot of games have reviews stating this, but this one is legit. I made it to lvl 19 with no bonuses, often closing and reopening to bypass 45 second ads. The strategy is basic and the only thing adding challenge (NOT complexity) is the need to upgrade your soldiers. Totally arbitrary and requires a lot of playthroughs and ad watching. Not worth the download.

The adds are obviously annoying but that's to be expected with a free game. What's so bad about this game is it gets to a point where the levels are so difficult it makes it to where there is no other way to win unless you watch even more adds to get boosters to help you in the levels. The game is gets unplayable with skill alone.

I give it a low rating, though I think it has lots of potential. Manual deployment is really annoying, once you own a few towers you can almost not deploy fast enough to use your mana and the towers themselves get in the way of the map which is really annoying. I also think the cost of things in game is high and I don't like the floating ad bubbles that go through the middle of the map while you're trying to play

Too many ads. Even when you choose not to do the bonus ad. Pretty frustrating. I don't mind a few ads but when it's every other game even when you choose not to do the bonus ad option it becomes cumbersome. Especially because if you click anywhere on the ad it reroutes you to Google play store. Wouldn't recommend, games fun to play but too many ads ruin the experience.

"Watch an ad for a reward?" No, thank you. "OK, here's an ad anyway but with no reward." That's an automatic one star. On top of that, if any level features enemies with area attacks, just start over, because they are invincible. My area attack soldiers are not invincible. Enemy area attackers are always invincible. Very poor programming.
