Epic Monster TD - RPG Tower De

Otherwise-enjoyable TD marred by aggressive monetization. The four boost bundles total out to well over $80 CAD(that's a AAA PC/console game), then $12 to boost PvP rewards and damage. Most of the available upgrades are behind premium currency walls(which does at least trickle out). Ads are pervasive and the game doesn't progress while you're away so unless you pay $11.49 for ad-free you'll spend as much time watching ads as you will playing. Would be awesome at $6.49. Can't rec at $80+. lol

Enjoyable game. Over 10 days of play time here. Got to 1095 with no payments. I'd say the premium permanents are too expensive. Maybe you could tone it down a bit or at least offer gem alternatives(like the 2x speed). Also, if you could put base tower damage(without the anyboosts including their own passive), please do. It's hard to compare tower stats when one has more attribute level than another that's not even accounting ascension.

I've been playing this for a while and it's starting to get extremely repetitive 🤦‍♂️ I don't like the fact that you have to keep your game open for you to pass through waves. It's annoying that sometimes I'd have to leave my game running for over an hour just to catch up for a tournament. Which means I can't use any other app while I'm playing because it pauses my progress 🤦‍♂️ please allow some waves to be passed will out of game. Otherwise there's no point. I'll be waiting for a response

It's a decent idle game built around a tower defence base. Progression is relatively easy and there are enough ways to get all currencies without spending money if you're patient. A lot of the design seems to be intentionally making the game slower though to encourage paying for permanent buffs (double game speed, more gold, more damage, etc) so not a fan of that. Especially since these buffs are active in the competitive tournament / rankings.

Overall, it's a great idle game and I like the animations the monsters have and the designs. However it is hard to beat some waves as for example if you were on wave 300, it would get really difficult to clear the waves and the next time you can unlock monsters is wave 500 so it starts to get really hard to clear. But it's still an amazing game and I would still recommend it to people who like idle RPGs.

The game is really fun to play and has a lot of different features that make it fun and the developers don't throw an ad in your face every 5 seconds or micro transactions. but the main downside for me is the fact that when i get off the game a lot of times it doesn't go idle like it will be idle but it won't earn gold offline or anything.

This is probably my favorite gacha game. There is strategy in figuring out good placement for towers that buff certain types. It doesn't have a LOT of towers in each bracket, which makes it pretty easy to unlock all the towers with enough patience. If you pull duplicates, it boosts the power of that tower, so duplicates never feel all that devastating. Contrary to another review, I did NOT find this pay to win. It is exceedingly easy to progress without spending any money at all.

Has multiple different progression systems, which stops the feeling of encountering any hard walls. It also has no intrusive ads, and never begs for them, but a fair reward for watching them when given the chance. The monster roster is pretty lack luster until late game, however, and the gatcha system rewards constantly rolling the slots anyways instead of using upgrade systems that actually matter due to being cheap and first in the same submenu as global upgrades.

It's a great well balenced, casual game to play long term. It has many different resources and upgrades, much of which it slowly feeds to you as you play, making it not at all overwhelming. It is fun, and you can sink half an hour casually playing it, or an hour playing it while doing something else, but it's not too addicting to the point where you can't put it down. It seams to be made to play for a few minutes, then put on idle. The leaderboards are fun and actually a part of the gameplay.

Game is okay. So much is locked behind pay walls in an effort to slow the game down to a painful crawl. If you lose a stage you are automatically thrown back 10 stages, doesn't sound too bad except those 10 stages will take you about 2 mins a piece to complete. Its just so slow, but hey if you pay 10 $ you can unlock double game speed and hey if you pay 10 more $ you can unlock 3x monster atk, and hey if you pay just 10 more $ you can unlock better crit chance ect. Pay to win for sure.

I'm always looking for a new idle game that I can leave on my desk while I work as well as sit on the couch and actively play it. The game has a simple loop where you get to a high level then prestige back to level 1 with some goodies. The pixel art is great and I've yet to have a bug to deal with. I think the dev has done a very good job and I hope they keep it up!

It is fun for a while, but after a couple days of playing you'll realize the gameplay loop is deliberately and painfully slow. The way out? Pay for it of course. It's also unfortunate that you can only make progress while the app is open. Yes you earn gold passively, but you don't earn XP or clear waves. It's all right for what it is, but it's just too slow.

This game has potential to be very good. There are different towers that have support for towers of the same element. I really liked figurimg out how to place different towers to optimize my set up. After I had figured that out. The game doesn't really offer much challenge. I wish there were different enemies that would force me to change up my strategy a bit more. I think that the game is fun, I just wish that it could be a bit deeper.

Good TD game with one major flaw. The support for multiple device sessions is really poor. It should sign you out of one device if you login elsewhere, but it doesn't. It's possible to have two sessions running and for the older one with less progress to become your save. This is even true for purchases. I've lost some after purchasing on my phone and then having my BlueStacks game become my save. Very frustrating.

There are good idle games and bad ones. This one is beyond bad. It requires you to leave the game running on your phone for hours on end to make progress you can't just let it run in the background. Super paywall heavy. Nothing interesting or unique about it just a pointless, horrendously slow grind. Unless you pay up of course!! Not to mention all the tracking and data stealing this app does too. Avoid at all costs.

Has great potential, but it's held back by literally being pay to win. I don't mind if games let you speed stuff up by paying, but you can pay to literally triple your damage. And yes, this can only be unlocked by paying. I'm also not a fan of watching ads to get a permanent boost, but at least it's something everyone can do compared to having to spend $10.00 to triple your damage.

This game is somewhat fun but there are a few things that can make it uninteresting. There's only 5-6 maps, each map is rotated over and over as try progress further in the waves. Each start over is tedious as it can take several hours to reach max stage again. Lastly, there's no challenge. It's very much a wait, rinse, repeat game. Overall, worth trying out but get repetitive pretty quick.
