Alright enough of a game, albeit slightly more grind forcing you to rely on daily missions and rewards to be time/output efficient. Suggestions: a kill counter in-game (especially endless), % progression bars in-game (know how many levels remain/kills needed for daily missions) and lastly, a speed up button (2x?) to allow players to be more active in playing when grinding or simply progressing through levels quicker. Events/more variety would also be great (explosive, lightning bounce crossbow?)

Games quite enjoyable. I have a hard time finding mobile games that hold my interest because after the first couple hours the gameplay experience slows down unless you pay. This game always has action with endless mode and the chance to get the real money currency increasing the higher level you progress through gameplay is ultimately what has kept my interest. If you dont mind grinding for currency when you hit a wall progressing through levels, this game will satisfy.

Really good game, but I feel like the Pushback spell is way too overpowered. Half the time your shooting enemies that you cant even really see because they have been pushed back of the screen and makes it a lot less fun. Maybe it needs to be nerfed? It takes a lot of the challenge out of the game and I hate using it, but its so powerful its hard not to use it

Greedy bastards! You need to pay A LOT to play easy. After some point you just cannot advance, enemies are too strong and many and you cannot upgrade or use perks c'ause you need some real stuff, that costs real money. Don't get me wrong, I paid twice, 10 bucks in common... And still need more. So...go easy here, play a few levels and delete.

This is a fantastic game, where you don't have to pay to win. Ads are optional, and you can pay a reasonable price to get rid of them while still getting the rewards you would normally get from watching them. It's fun to progress and level up your castle. There are plenty of different upgrades that make a noticeable difference. A round can be played in less than 2 minutes so it's a good quick time killer. Based on Reddit posts, you can see that the developer really cares about the game.

After trying this game for the first-400 levels, I'm happy that I tried this game. The gameplay is smooth without any lag, there are many variety of combinations you could try (but be wise not to waste dark golds, just check the top-ranked builds). The adverisement system is great + optional. 5★ PS: Don't wory about dark gold, they always drop everytime you face a new type of boss for the first time.

Only on level 3, but there is an incredibly annoying "1" over the mail icon that won't go away, asking with the mailbox going back 6 YEARS! That might be a bit much don't ya think guys?

I was originally gonna rate it 4 stars because the UI was awkward but turns out you can change it. Great game. It's simple but works well. You can earn ALL ressources just by playing at a reasonable rate, even the purchasable one. You can get more gold by watching ads but if you're willing to grind a little bit, you don't need it. Overall, no outrageous cashgrab methods, no paywall, simple but good and responsive gameplay. Very nice.

Great game! I like its quality, design and the feeling it gives very much. Another point is that there are no forced ads, so no ruining the game experience when you just want to relax. Thank you very much, dear Byteghoul team! The only issues, that may somehow affect the decision of making the ingame purchase, is no cloud saving, so in case of device loss/damage, you'll have to start from scratch. But hey, it's still enjoyable (had such experience)!

Fun game. Good to see that the developer takes suggestions seriously and responds in a timely manner. The way the idle play 'issue' is about to be resolved sounds much better now. The root cause for idle play however is still present (at least from my perspective). Late game progress is still quite sluggish. If advancing to very high levels was not intended then I would suggest to introduce a level cap and have players be ranked according to their progress in endless mode after they reach max level. Incentivising people to progress further on endless mode will in addition reduce the effectiveness of auto-turret based play.

Great time killer. After the bug fixes and increased chances to get rare drops it's near perfect. The ads are optional and give a good extra boost. It's made so free to play players can thrive without grinding too much. Just play a few endless rounds every 5-10 levels and you can stay ahead easily. Stick to your strategy and it'll pay off. Great job devs!

Lets you opt out of ads. For free. Lets you decline analytics. And it will keep you busy for a long time if defence games where you do the defence is your thing. Not an idle game. Not pay to play. Just grind to get good or try hard to plow through. Im sure there is an option to buy something, but i haven't felt the urge in the slightest after 50 levels. Save up for multiple turrets and check the leaderboard to see if you want to emulate their setup.

Great game. each in game currency is easy enough to come by, and with the reset function you can essentially save up dark gold to spend on something better later. What I don't get is at the start you have 3 bows shooting tons of arrows, but it doesn't seem possible to achieve that afterward. Even with that as a big attention grabber, or false hope, or whatever the devs meant it to be I think this game is easily worth 5 stars

Interesting at start but becomes a grind. Upgrades start to cost way to much. Requires premium currency to do major upgrades that are way to rare. Farming endless gets really when it decides to send several range bosses that won't trigger traps and hide behind a wall of enemies and there's no way to stop them from taking out your base in a few seconds

Straightforward and simple yet interesting and different approach at a tower game. Best part about it is that so far the gameplay vs. Lvl up stat changes are pretty much perfectly balanced. Can start off a little slow but it stays challenging but not too hard. Wish it had a few different modes similar to endless mode to make gold, rubies, or even darkgold.

This is not a TD game. You are actively aiming where you want to shoot. For me that is a good point. The devs designed it so you unlock features little by little. At level 50 you unlock all the features... After that, it's just grinding to earn resources and upgrade your defense systems. However, there is where strategy starts. You have a good amount of different crossbows, traps and spells, but limited amount of spaces to place them; so, you cannot grow infinitely strong. Choose carefully

It's pretty fun and it's a little addicting . One issue is that the darkgold are kind of hard to get but if you spend money you can get a lot and level up quickly but it takes the satisfaction out of the experience to me. You can get all the resources you need to upgrade it just takes time. It's the best tower defense game out there in my opinion, it's fun it's hard but not to hard , and it's endless it never ends so it's a good time waster. But overall I recommend a download good job developer

Good game though there are several things that could be improved. The main issue is that things aren't refunded fully, making it hard to try different tactics and experiment in what would be the best purchase. This is especially evident with the dark coins as there rather challenging to get and refunding a purchase might not get you the coin back. Also a annoyance in that I don't know how much health the enemies have or what my damage is with all the "attachments". Meaning I kinda have to guess.

The ONLY reason I'm not rating 5 is because darkgold is so hard to come by! And expensive too! ($1.50 for 1!??) I love the challenges of each level, but wish the endless mode dropped more loot. I also love that you can usually choose to watch ads to get more currency after each level, and the income from each round is well balanced. Keep up the good work!

I've been playing for several months, and I've become fully addicted. I've spent hours grinding. This is one of those games in which it becomes more enjoyable the higher you get. The game is perfectly balanced it never becomes easy. It's a challenge at any level. If you want to play a game in which you're constantly challenged, this is the perfect game for you. THERES A LADDERBOARD, in which you'll always feel eager to play to go higher. PLEASE add more monsters and maybe bows, content, or ideas
