Boom Castle: Tower Defense TD

This game has the potential to be fun but the devs are seriously diabolical AF. Why so harsh? Because there's a mechanic in the game that has you watch an ad to cycle through 3 cards at a time during battle. I'm stuck on lvl 19 because I'm just frustrated at having watched over 2 hours of ads, spent $14, and still unable to progress. Oh, and there's no way to buy ad skippers. Don't waste your time or your money. I'm uninstalling and sending the devs two middle fingers.

Seems like when I invest in a character I stop getting that character. Probably meant to make you watch videos. Watch multiple videos to cycle through cards and still don't get the characters I'm investing in. Would be able to beat the level if I could get the right cards. Replaying levels and grinding are things I generally enjoy, but this game is just frustrating. Really enjoyed it at first too such a shame

I would give it a 5 star if the Daily/Weekly Achievements were linked properly. I have to fully exit and join again for it to seem to link. Many times have I missed out on getting a task done simply because it didn't register as being done 🙄 Other than that... it IS a real grind of a game with good graphics. You can choose to watch ads for Double Boost of wins as well which helps the grind 💪🏼

Graphics and gameplay are not bad. The issue is that by level 5, you are already stuck. The difficulty of the level requires you to either grind for little to no rewards, while suffering numerous defeats after another, OR what they really want you to do is Pay To Win! It's the greed that makes the game bad. Don't waste the time.

Love the graphics and gameplay in general. I don't like that there is only 1 game mode (story). Once you get stuck at a level you will be there forever Difficulty between levels seems very unbalanced Extremely hard into update heroes due to lack of enough gold UPDATE 10/06 Also it doesn't make sense that an epic hero like thorgar at level 4 has less power than a common hero like Arcus at level 9 Update 11/07: Uninstalled game. Latest update is worthless and can't wait another month for a new one

The game is a lot of fun, and I've really enjoyed my time with it...but the progression isn't balanced with difficulty scaling. It was alright until I hit level 13...and now I just desperately need to level up my dudes, but the gold payouts are so damn low that it's take ages without the ads...and then I'm just watching ads.

There's potential for a really fun game here, it's just buried underneath some very inexperienced decisions around the UX and monetization. Fortunately, there are some blueprints from other successful games you can follow to improve. Maybe I'll reinstall it after some time has passed and improvements are made. Definitely wish you luck, I know it's not easy.

Stuck on level 25 with zero ability to even deal with the first 2 levels of attackers. I've upgraded in all ways and tried a few strategies. The cannon is just not powerful enough and the first choice of my added attacker doesn't matter and I end up swamped and defeated by the second wave.

The core gameplay is good and quite fun but the game isn't fully fleshed out. So after a while you're just going through the motions with no meaningful game left to play. Also there are way too many ads It's like a game in beta phase where the actual main game is watching ads to get little bits of good and bonuses

I like the towers, the gear system and the gameplay is fun! For about 3 days and then progression grinds to a screeching halt unless you spend money or days farming levels you've already completed. Even that is unreliable, as it's a roguelike TD, so you may get bad choices and lose within 30 sec. You can spend money to reroll or watch back to back ads, so some levels you may spend more time watching ads than playing. Energy generates so slowly and the difficulty is extreme, even very early.

A good game, at first. Then in the blink of an eye, once you're deeply invested in it, they make it virtually impossible to play without paying. And the prices are insanely high, and you pay those high prices in the form of "packages" rather then a reasonable monthly fee. It was a waste of time. REPLY: I did upgrade to the max. It was impossible, and I'm certainly not alone if you read other reviews. Sorry.

edit: been playing for a while now, could feed the entire world's population for years with the food I've wasted grinding through the lvl 20's to 27, where I'm presently stuck. still hate the energy system, but I log in with 300+ food to waste on grinding lvl 27 like an insane madman, so whatever. need to fix the card drawing during gameplay. instead of rolling 2 useless traps, please lump them into a card that say trap or something and gives you 3 trap cards to choose from if you want a trap.

I love the game, but the difficulty spike after level 4 is insane. My towers are all level 4, and my equipment is all level 5+ with full gems, and no matter what combo of towers I pick, I can't seem to even get 1 star on stage 5. Maybe this game just time gates you until you either pay or wait and sweep each day, but It feels really bad to go from enjoying myself to a full stop of frustration.

This game starts off decent but as you unlock units you see a massive flaw. You essentially get to a point where the entire gameplay is rng, and you're rolling 3 options across 20+ units, their upgrades, etc. Oh but you can reroll! for of course... $$$$$. It's like a gacha game but you play it... EVERY SINGLE ROUND ON REPEAT. There needs to be a better system to turn off units cause some are terrible and not worth investing in.

The game is fine, but the progression is just too slow. It takes longer and longer each level and seems utterly pointless attempting the same level over and over for pitiful rewards. I'm assuming they want you to spend in order to progress. sorry but will uninstall.

The game is actually pretty fun. The downside and it's pretty serious, is the lack of resources. The gold you need to upgrade compared to what you can get is substantially below what you need. Even the bundles and deals offered make no financial sense because you still won't have anywhere near enough to upgrade. I been stuck on lvl 40 for over a week and no signs of beating it anytime soon with this current recourse situation. please fix !

It's fun for a little bit but gets very grindy with no option to purchase no ads. The randomization is not a good couple with gems that can make a specific build. Unlocking more is a double edged sword because you get specific heroes you want to use but are less likely to get, so you find yourself losing after the first upgrade because you didn't get what you needed.
