I was hopeful, but the game suffers from some bad lag issues. I found references to this issue that are over a year old. There are other bugs where banner.description is displayed instead of the actual description. This should be easy to fix. At the time of writing this, the last update was around 10 months ago so I doubt anything else is going to get fixed. 2 stars as it was entertaining, but given that development seems to have stopped and the existing bugs are probably not going to get fixed.

fun game. Granted it's fairly ad heavy, however the rewards are worth it. I've been playing for almost 2 weeks now and have advanced to stage 17, I haven't had to spend money on the game just watched some ads while afk. The extreme advancement of mob power is a bit difficult at times, and the spells are "meh" at best not really worth using except for quests But leaving the game for a few hours makes a difference. It'd be nice if the map changed thou, gets very repetitive. Some lag at higher lvls

This is a nice simple idle game. If your looking for a deep game with a lot of content, look elsewhere. This game has a few big issues. Even on the low graphic settings the game lags after a while. There are a lot of grammatical and textual errors - for instance "Evolve" is used in many places to describe several different mechanics, leading to a lot of confusion. Can't write a review without mentioning ads. There are a lot of ads, but you only have to watch them if you want the cool stuff.

Games that beg you for reviews lose my respect, but this one is the lowest of lows. It popped up a window that shows 5 stars and says to rate it. I expected it to give me a X button to click out of it, but it didn't have one. So, I clicked it hoping it would ask you before taking you. Nope. MANDATORY EXITING OF THE APP! It also has ads that are really annoying but aren't too annoying, but ads feel mandatory. If you want to force me to watch ads, don't act like they aren't mandatory.

It's a good game but once you reach chapter 15 in-game, it appears the game stutters horribly because there is too much going on. As soon as the enemies spawn in, it lags. As soon as the turrets start firing, it lags. It worked flawlessly early game. I have a brand new phone too so it can't be my device. Will update rating if it gets fixed, but for now it's unplayable.

Game is pretty fun and a good time killer. The auto battle however has a glitch where the boss of the stage you are on will not load in, as the boss warning screen will glitch out. What's more there are no "accounts" so if you uninstall to fix the issue you have to start over from the beginning. Also work this bug each individual stage will no longer give you rewards until you get to the boss. If not for the mindless fun this game provides I'd have given it a 2 star rating.

Still buggy and looks to be abandoned however its still a great time killer. There's a few instant crashes and even though it gives you an E-mail to send it don't bother as it just bounces back. Also the problem of it getting worse the longer it plays still it there but seeing as the last update was in 2021 I don't see it getting fixed. As I said its largely an abandoned game but as long as you don't expect too much from it it's a decent tower defense game.

This game is really fun for starters, the towers are fun, finding all the upgrade paths, the game is simple at it's core, and the reset mechanic isn't confusing or complicated. However few things holding this back from 5*. There becomes a very bad lag issue after you play for around 40ish mins in later chapters, the reset mechanic feels very highly taxed, you get so little unless you spend gems to double it. Third, the spells feel very underwhelming at best, no real reason to play and spam them.

Love the game but I notice a few issues. The longer the game runs the worse it performs, closing and reopening the app fixes for it a while. Also the wheel prizes are super rigged. Over 500 spins and I only get gold, sometimes large gold reward mostly small gold reward. Would like to see some balancing there. Other than that I love this game. Really fun to pass the time. Edit : I did get a key from the wheel so the odds are not zero, would still like to see some changes here.

Fun game but too monetized. You basically have to watch an ad every 30 seconds to play for free successfully, and if you ever get the bug where the ads no longer load (you get a message which says "failed to get ads. Use diamonds instead"), the game becomes basically unplayable. This is where I'm at and I'll try the game once a day for a week before I quit it entirely due to this problem. I enjoyed playing this for the first 8 hours until this started happening.

I'm sure the game is very fun, given that I could actually play it. this is the only game I have come across that seems to not be optimized, as as soon as I boot up the game it crashes google play, followed by the game freezing, Samsung keyboard crashing, system ui crashing, and basically just hard crashes your phone. I'm very disappointed that I wasnt able to even play after multiple attempts.

I like the gameplay and the storyline. I cannot get past lvl 32 because the game keeps crashing. Made sure it was updated and even on low graphics, still crashes. I know it's new, hopefully the developers can fix this bug because I would like to keep going. Edit"" After told to delete and re download the game. My progress was saved but all of the towers I had disappeared. It seems less laggy now but it took a while to catch back up to where I was...

First, the tutorial says to build and it seemed simple enough. Then when gameplay starts, the submenu changes without explanation. There's a long ad for EVERY "bonus". And they even have a gift box show up during the battle which is yet another ad for a bonus. So I didn't even finish the first wave and uninstalled. Too many interruptions. Not enough intuitive interface.

Great idle game with a fair amount of interactive and idle functions and an amazing scaling for time:rewards ratio. Ads are NOT forced and you are given many OPTIONS to opt in or out of an ad for extra rewards. A few minor bugs and the gatchya mechanics on summoning new demons is kinda brutal. This game is VERY close to a 5 star game (I'm super picky) but is still missing something (probably fine tuning demons) to make it a 5* game.

Game Freezes. Shuts down when using Skills to fast. Graphic overload when to many monsters on screen. Resets your Level progress which is not cool. And AD usage for boosts freezes/crashes game to. Fix The Bugs please. And make it keep your level progress. Cause if i want to shut it down and do something. I dont want to have to redo every sub stage over just to get to a boss.

Honestly, a game with a large amount of potential, yes there are bugs, yes this game is a bit unfinished/unpolished for all the small inconveniences, but it is a good game that is very easy to understand and play and the difficulty scales with the levels. I've been playing casually a few days and I have not had 1 forced ad, you can watch an ad if you want spare rewards but there arnt forced ads like every other free game, recommended

First; I agree it isn't a *true* idle game. When you are offline, there is no advancement. However, you do continue to get money which is nice. Currently there doesn't seem to be a cap on how long you collect offline earnings for. But haven't really looked into it. It is a very simple merge/tower defense game. You buy towers, place them on plots that you've purchased, level towers and then merge them with another same level tower to evolve them. Graphics are cute. The demons are a nice touch, but not a unique idea. Ads are well.. just like any other game out there. Not horrible.

As it is, the game is roughly 80% watching ads, 20% actual gameplay. The core mechanics are fine for a tower defense, but the balance is set up so that if you don't watch ads, you'll get nowhere with the level progression. Towers also appear to get increasingly more expensive, without any guide to what combinations make what towers. The solution, of course, is to watch more ads to generate gold and supplies. There's a summoning system as advertised, but that too is tedious and requires ads.

Pure adbait, plain and simple. The game play was decent, reminiscent of Kingdom Rush, but imagine if every wave of kingdom rush you were asked to watch an ad. It could be worse, as it never forced me to watch an ad, but, the pop up between every wave (and for every achievement) got on my nerves pretty quick. I deleted it before I got to level 2.

So, the game is actually a nice idle game, BUT the ad situation is horrible. Everything you do is hidden behind 20-30 second ads. Want in game cash? Ads. In game anything else that doesn't require gems? Ads. I paid for the monthly subscription ($10, which is dang expensive) that allows you to get EVERYTHING normally behind ads without out watching the ads. After this, the game is extremely fun to play and your progress skyrockets quickly. I plan to quit once the month is up, unfortunately.
