2024-11-30	John Doe	fun game albeit very repetitive...till you get to the higher levels. Then its VERY unbalanced. (Example) You get 2 "battalions" (8 soldiers each) of fully upgraded soldiers against essentially a literal army of 30-50 that just completly overwhelm you/melt your entire force before they can even reach them and then the wall with 0 chance. Also Realistic economy, at higher levels upgrades cost 100 times what you get for the waves.
2024-11-07	Jacob	One of the best games I have ever played, I can always come back to it, my only complaint is that I feel it's to repetitive and slow, all you do is defend you walls and attack the enemy after a few days when you can make some money, I also feel attacking cities needs work, I want more people involved, it sucks when I attack the enemy with like 2 dudes and a squad of 5 infantry, make the units bigger plz, keep adding good stuff to this game, and change a few slight things, thank u to the creator
2024-09-11	Kelan	Amazing game, i installed this atleast 2 years ago, deleted it, and reinstalled. This game is highly fun, and a way to make time seem faster. Its not like other games where you can build up your empire incredibly fast, this game takes time and dedication, which makes me like it a ton more! There are various features to the game, even some i didnt know about when i first installed it. Overall, amazing game, and deff recomended.
2024-06-08	Nathan Panek	The game is as the ads show, however, a recent addition, the coliseum, has very buggy mechanics with the battle rams, making them impossible to kill. It's a very frustrating mechanic, hitting the target 3 times and the game not registering the hit. Other than that, good game.
2023-12-25	Lance Lambert	TLDR, it's what the ads show. I have the utmost respect for this simple little game that, at it's core, is kinda an idle game with a rock-paper-sissors minigame to speed up the wait. All the ads are ok, I haven't seen anything outrageous like with some other games, and they're placed after the gameplay, which is wonderful. Additionally, the 30 ads only appear if you chose to pick them, which I almost always do, because the rewards are quite generous. All in all, a cute game with good taste.
2020-07-06	Ron Moore	Just started playing but so far, looks good. ..... ..... Update: I played this game solid for a few weeks, maybe a couple of months. The game itself is OK. It's very similar to slow progression idle games. But you reach a point where you can not expand territory because you can not defeat enemies and progress any further, just can't. And the game is essentially over. Very disappointing conclusion to an otherwise decent game...... Response to developer: Stars are low because of growth paywall
2020-05-30	Lowell Fink	Has room for improvement. Please allow me to explain. Starting off with the 1st thing I noticed is that the game doesn't have very much exploring to offer. 2nd of all, after about an hour of playing I noticed the game just repeated the levels, again and again....... And again. And that from my experience, is very annoying on really any game. Not to mention number 3, the game doesn't explain it's self like turret fusion, which is the same way. The game repeats itself but it explains itself. Hagd
2019-11-12	A Google user	A very unique spin on the wave defense games. A simple and graphically well put together game. Entertaining but only in the short run, not something I would continue playing. Two thumbs way up for the fine craftsmanship, appealing look, and even though there is in app purchases they're not needed ie. After losing a battle, you still gain the exp/gold. And for that I applaud the devs.
2019-11-09	A Google user	It's a great time consumer. This game reminds me of rome total war. Loved the game and love this one. Only downside is that the units will attack then reform and attack again while being under attack. I've lost many battles cause of this when they should of attacked straight on. Other than that this game rocks. Well and also units get pretty pricey late game. Could be a bit less or have a mini game mode that awards 50% extra credits every 5 waves especially late game.
2019-10-26	A Google user	I've sunk several hours into the game. It was addicting at first but at a certain point it becomes just grinding. I got through 230 waves, reached lvl 27, and in the 40s for the settlements. Uninstalling after about 3 days. It was kinda interesting the first 2-3 hours though. Here are the issues I had with it. • Lack of menus that shows what you're getting when upgrading. For example, upgrading the walls to certain levels gets you certain rewards such as a another tower (i've only gotten a total of 3) or bank or mission game. It does really tell you want you'll get. You just have to click on upgrade and see what happens. • After awhile, you the waves gets you around 5kish gold max. Thats not a lot when the stuff you're trying to upgrade can cost a couple hundred thousand. Thats why its getting grindy. • Completing the waves arent that satisfying. Each wave takes about 40 seconds on the fast setting. it seems like a set number of max units, since you get gold depending on how much you kill. Sometimes you've built up an army then the wave ends and you start over again. It gets old after awhile (a couple hundred times for me). •Theres also lots of ads but its a free to play game so its expected. Some ads also give you additional gold.
