Unbalanced
You will be play other people who have range more than yours. It’s crazy.
Pay To Win Shallow Gameplay
Very shallow luck based gameplay that feels unrewarding and veryyyy predatory pay to win. Things like $50 for barely an upgrade.
Cash Grab
This game is amazing and addictive. If you would enjoy bite sized game of Kingdom Rush this will be enjoyable. But… the developers intentionally don’t provide enough gold to level up your cards so you are stuck playing with one deck you create at the beginning or you shell out cash to upgrade.
Subscriptions start at $19.99 a month!!! What a scam. Legendary drops are impossible. You have to pay to unlock those cards too.
I’m disappointed it took me so long to figure out the intent of the developers. I was addicted for about a month before I realized that there isn’t a free to play option to actually enjoy the game for its potential.
Unless you like paying exorbitant subscription fess don’t play this game!

Pay to win
This game was fun at first. I am a big fan of Kingdom Rush games, especially the original. This had a similar feel except it was pvp. Anyhow, around level 9-10, you will start to get smashed by players who spent a lot of money for OP towers you can only get by paying for. Don’t expect to win any evenatches because theu are all against pay to win players.
I do not recommend at this current time
Long story short, it’s a fun game to pass some time. But there is SERIOUS imbalance issues, the biggest one being bonehart hero in coin farm where you play to win and after while collect gold used to upgrade. Bonehart spawns these dragons so frequent and they are practically impossible to kill. I have a legendary hero’s (most all of them but bonehart) and legendary towers, epic towers all leveled up. And no matter what combination I use or strategy I try I always lose vs bonehart, literally they fly by and you get 3 lives and it’s over. So once they spawn 3 it’s over for you. Totally BS and extremely overpowered and cheating imho.
Supercell V.2
Take your pay to win BS and shove it.
Not Fun
This game is fun at first. When you get into it you will soon realize you won’t win if you don’t have high level cards. This is due to pay to win and it kills the fun immensely for me at least. If you don’t pay you won’t win is that simple
Shameless Cash Grab
I’m not a huge whale by any means, less than $100 USD. This game is unbeatable at arena 11. Progression stalls because you’re playing against bots who have decks(heroes, towers, skills) levels that shouldn’t be possible based on their account level. Unless you spend hundreds of dollars, as well as get extremely lucky, this game is not designed well, made to extract money from its users/players.
Give me a refund, this is crazy.
I’ve beaten Slay the Spire Ascension 20, I think I can play games at least above an amateur level.

Bonehart
Bonehart’s wyverns are broken. Quitting this garbage game.
Horribly Pay-To-Win
Deliberately pay to win and it feels terrible. A PvP only game should NOT rely on you having to open your wallet to feel like you can make progress. I love this franchise but cannot recommend this whatsoever. Stay away.
Complete waste of money
Boss Battles are rigged. I don’t believe most of the time I was actually playing another human player!! Gameplay sucks … freezes and crashes constantly which incidentally cause you to lose points and ranking!! Just about getting you to spend money on a strategy… which then they change with updates to make less effective!! TRASH!!!
Extremely pay to win
I started playing on launch love the franchise it makes me sad how much they are monetizing it it’s really extreme.
Also the rounds are normally over 10 to 20 mins if you can keep up with the meta if you can’t you lose in 5 secs which is to long for a phone game make everything happen faster.
If you are going to charge 30$ for a hero or tower I think they should come maxed out. It would allow returning/ casual players to play and win with tickets currently I can’t at all with the bone dragon and magnus.

Forget it
IAP brainrot kills another franchise
Great Start, But Pay to Win
This is fundamentally a PVP-focused game, and Paid heroes and premium towers clearly outperform free options - not just slightly, but significantly - in stats, abilities, cooldown efficiency, and overall impact on matches.
As a free-to-play player, you can grind and slowly unlock content, but the reality is that paid units provide a noticeable advantage that often determines the outcome of battles. In a competitive environment, that undermines the strategic depth the series is known for.
It’s a spending contest.

Unapologetically Pay to Win
Unfortunately players can buy their way to an advantage that ruins the game
Don’t bother
Unless you want to buy a top dragon…you have no chance at beating others. Game is extremely unbalanced to entice you to pay to win. Not worth it
Pay to win garbage
Wanted the devs to know I deleted this specifically because of Rift and the pay to win model.
I like it, but
After their latest update, the game constantly glitches on my iPad. No, it’s not my iPad, nor is it my WiFi. It’s the game. For some reason, the game doesn’t work well on Apple products. Update: I tried contacting the Makers of the game. They asked for confirmation of several things and it took me three days to answer (I was traveling). In those three days they sent me an email basically saying they had closed the work order because I didn’t answer. Oh well. No more money spent on this game, I guess.
Below Mid
By far one of the most pay-to-win games on the market right now. Sucks to see from such a cool game and franchise.
Unbelievably unbalanced
I love the rush games, this is so pay to win it’s disgusting. You lose 90% of the games due to bought towers and insane levels. You can buy rocket towers that are mad unfair and hero’s that solo the lane. You guys dropped the ball hard on this one. Easy delete
New Update Ruined The Game
I loved this game until the newest update with the bone dragon. Now it’s just totally pay to win.
