★★★★★ "Fun but pay to win and gets boring. Let us compare Win Rate. The stat is on our personal page but not used for ranking. Lots of total wins can be attained by just playing a lot. Losses don’t matter. It’s not fun playing against a castle full of premium units and all upgrades.…" - yvytcbo8jof

Trash
This game is trash, constantly gives the enemy random buffs while you don’t get any.
Was Fun
The game was really fun until it started force closing every time I would start to win a match. iPad has been restarted and the game has been deleted and redownloaded. Not sure what the issue is, I enjoy playing the game.
It keeps crashing
Haven’t finished a level and gone into the next yet. It crashes.
Annoyed
Game crashes regularly when finding an opponent, but before the game starts, this ends your win streak.. this happened when I was on a 99 win streak… literally one win from 100 consecutively, and it ends because the game crashed…… might uninstall. Put too much time into it anyways.
Decent game, the ADs for it are over embellished. And it constantly pushes ads at you, some force open web pages, and have stupid tactics to keep you from closing them

Not that good
It’s kicking me out in middle of game and lags a lot and it makes me so angry 😡😡
Player versus player
Boo!!!
No support for purchases
I made an in game purchase but the item doesn’t work. There’s no FAQ page, email support or otherwise any other information to figure out if I’m doing something wrong or if this is just a broken game item. It’s a fun game, but I would not recommend purchasing anything through it.
Pay to win
Very obvious the devs are “paying” to when their own game so more ppl will pay to get what they got lol
Crashes
Very jumpy. Crashes all the time. Not worth waiting for reloads.
Pay to win in every aspect and horrible matchmaking
Every micro transaction you can think of you can purchase in this game. Matching players up against whales with tier 4 wall upgrades and multiple wall segments that players at that trophy range should not have. Not to even mention the difference in card level, I was genuinely enjoying my time playing until it matched me against multiple player’s in a row that clearly I stood no chance against forcing me to sit through a guaranteed loss every time. This game is a great example of why mobile gaming is trash now.
FIX THE CRASHES
This IS a fun game… but it’s the ONLY game on my device that continually crashes. I can reload numerous times but it doesn’t hold. ONCE IN A WHILE the game will let me play a match, but win or lose as soon as it goes back to the main/home screen…CRASH!
The only thing good is when I reload I still accumulate the points/gold from previous mat…CRASH!
Please fix this!!!

Keeps crashing
Just got this game and i5keeos crashing. Wish I could play.
Keeps Crashing
I’ll be in the middle of a match and it just crashes causing me to “lose” the match. This has been happening for the past 4 days and keeps happening randomly. This needs to be fixed.
Pay to win
I’m okay with having cosmetic micro transactions but paying for a hero that has a seeking drone that takes no skill to shoot in the air and lock on any target is frustrating. Either nerf the hero or matchmake people that use that hero with others because it takes no skill and people think they’re actually good. This makes me not want to play the game
Avoid Purchasing Items
There is no in-game or out of game support for anything that goes wrong. There have been many bugs that I’ve experienced in-game where I should have gotten gems but they didn’t get awarded.
90% of the opponents are bots
I reached the 13th arena after spending 10 hours playing. And in 90 out of 100 matches, bots came across against me. No interest in playing with BOTS.
SMH
I built my main units up a sizable amount, then all of a sudden, everything that I built my players up to be, half of their “Unit Damage Capabilities” just disappeared.
I have played closer to 1,000 battles. The further you get along, the gameplay becomes less interesting. I still can’t understand the need for assistance from the creators with the +2, -1, etc, when you have EVERYTHING you need with your castle and its capabilities and your units.
This is a really good game, but in my personal opinion, I do not mind the advertising, but the actually gameplay starts to become too tournament driven and less “battle to the very, very end” driven.

Pay to win BS
Pay to win by buying premium characters and have to watch ads to upgrade stuff. Complete disappointment of a game
Add pvp and online match
Add a real online so that you can fight with other players and not with bots, I'm tired of not losing, I just win every time because bots don't know how to play
Can not launch app
I downloaded it played for 15 minutes, boarded a plane, no longer worked, deleted it, reinstalled it, it just gets stuck on 0% loading (yes I made sure all permissions are on, tried wifi and nothing worked)
AI Slop
I know this probably won’t be seen. This game is AI slop and loop holes where you can avoid losing trophies. Poison damage and capable of shredding the opponent shield or yours wayy too easily is outrageous. Fun for what it is but after a while loses its touch.
Game
It will not let me load the game at all plz help me fix it
WON’T CONNECT
This is my go to game. Suddenly it just stopped connecting. Doesn’t connect on my iPad or my phone. I deleted and reinstalled on both. With or without WiFi. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
Was a good game
It was a great game, I beat it in about two weeks and didn’t even mind. I gave the $8 for the no ad version.
After the update, though it gets very buggy and they’ve nerfed a number of the powers of the various characters. So all the work I put into upgrade the ones I wanted to run mean nothing now. I’ve deleted the app.

Pay to play
Another pay to play game. Starts off good then you will play against people who purchased all the good characters and destroy you. Don’t know why they do this. If you email and ask questions they never have the answered to this horrible match making. They want you to believe this game is popular but there zero people in you skill range? Weird
Can’t connect
Will never connect to server to play. No matter if I try WiFi or cellular. Need to fix it. Fun game if you can ever get logged into it
Not P versus P
Originally felt like I was playing a person.. we could emoji back and forth. Then I realized no one messaging back and the opponent sucks now. Realized it’s just a computer opponent now!
Crashes galore
It was a fun game, but after their last update, the game crashes more often than before said update. Plus they took away the main way to get gold which others were able to get and upgrade. To me that makes the playing field unfair. Glad I didn’t spend more money on it then I did.
Constantly crashes
This app constantly crashes, then penalizes you points for the crash.
No adds
I purchased the no adds which had no stated time limit no I have adds and when I look it is $8 a week. Would like a refund of my money and will probably delete game.
Fun but pay to win and gets boring
Let us compare Win Rate. The stat is on our personal page but not used for ranking. Lots of total wins can be attained by just playing a lot. Losses don’t matter. It’s not fun playing against a castle full of premium units and all upgrades. Got boring and ranking is meaningless. Uninstall.
Crash fest all of the sudden
Great game for a week, then started crashing every battle. Just quits a minute or so into every fight. Of course, counts as a loss for me.
Random crashes
Your game is good but crashes after a certain point and that make it suck bad
Two stars because of weapons
Game was fun until I reached the level where all my opponents just you one weapon repeatedly which is a super satellite that splits the castle in half. Not enjoyable to play just watching people do the same thing over and over.
No option to report bugs
I had saved up my resources for a long time to buy an upgrade but upon purchasing this upgrade, the game took my resources without giving me the upgrade.
I went to report the bug only to find that there is no bug support for the game.

Almost all bot
Ever wonder why matches are found so quickly? It’s cause they are almost all bots that you are playing.
The game would be good, but lying and calling this a PvP or 1v1 game is a straight up lie.

Foundations disappeared
I was really liking this game, but twice I bought foundations for my castle and twice they disappeared with no refund in a way to get them back. Where did they go? Did they really lose them for good?
Unfair
Used to be fun but now it’s literally just making me face opponents about 5-10 stages stronger than me, honestly takes the fun out of it
Too many ads
This is a fun game but it’s hard to advance without watching a lot of ads if you don’t want to pay to play. It wouldn’t be so bad if they had 30 seconds ads but no this game has half their ads about a minute and 30 seconds long which is an absolute joke and waste of time. Their ads repeat 3xs then when you think the ad is finally finished and press the X to close it, your taken to a secondary screen where have to wait and additional 5 seconds and THEN when you think the ad is again finally finished, your taken to a third screen where you have to wait an additional 3 seconds before you can close and finally be free of that extremely long stupid ad. Oh did I mention that they have an in app purchase option to remove ads for $9.99 for 7 days. This game is designed to break you if you did intend on spending on it.
Meh!
I don’t mind watching ads to benefit in the game, but you really do need to standardize the ads. What’s up with blank ads that never go away? That sucks. If you want players to help you line your pockets, you shouldn’t make it such a miserable experience. And why is it that I am always playing people with higher point levels? I’m two battles away from dropping this.
Pay to win
Fun to play but if you have 30 bucks you’re gonna win.
