Good TD game. As others have said here, there is thought in the game, it’s a bit more challenging than others (in a good way). I enjoy trying to collect all the cards and characters and upgrades. The maps are fun. But the energy system is way too strict. I can only play about 3 or 4 attempts and then I’m out of energy. Crystals (iap) restore every but it’s way too stingy. Given the cost of crystals this is a much more stingy energy/stamina system than I’ve seen in a lot of similar games. You need energy to play a level. You can’t retry a level without spending additional energy. And all the extra modes like survival mode on each map also takes full energy. And the energy caps out sort of low, so if you don’t keep logging in you lose it. So there’s no way I can see being able to play more than like 15 minutes at a time. Because of my work schedule that doesn’t work for me (I sit down to play a game in one sitting each day, not throughout the day waiting for energy to restore. So for me, it means there’s only about 15 minutes of play time available to me PER DAY. So even though I like the game, I’ll likely delete it soon 😢

So many utter crap TD games clones on the App Store I always wish there was some keyword to find the rare gems. This is definitely one of them. It might not seem that way for the first I dunno... six or seven levels? But push through and you’ll discover “wow, the developer clearly put a lot of time and work into this game.” Anyways if anyone knows of other good TD gems, post them in reviews. I also really liked Jelly Defense, Mindustry, Gem Defense, of course kingdom rush (tho the last few releases have been getting stale) and Castle Creeps off the top of my head. Oh and Infinitode 2 is at least worth a play. Booblyc TD belongs on these kinds of lists. Incursion (booblycs other game) is also worth playing but isn’t as good as Booblyc. What kind of name is that anyway? Update/Side Note: hey Handsome Developer guy is it actually possible to beat the third challenge grade of the last early game map? It’s the map in the main story level where the guy with the big face and hands is the boss and after is the portal that takes uou to Minotaur island—beating the main story is totally doable as well as the second challenge grade on it... but the third challenge grade where you can’t use any heroes and your limited to just Shaman, Priest, Ninja, and Knights for 14 waves and 1hp... I’m starting to get the impression it actually isn’t possible. Any hints?

This is a tower defense game very much like Kingdom Rush with gacha elements and a different (but enjoyable) sense of humor. The difficulty that some other reviewers complain about is just a reaction to the lousy “meta” for mobile games in general. You know what I mean: the pushover first couple days with tons of gifted energy to keep you busy clicking on stuff that isn’t gameplay. This game is better than that. You actually have to move your units around and make decisions that effect your win conditions. The only paywall is for those who want to treat it like an idle title where your units are so overpowered the game plays itself. The energy system runs out pretty quickly, but that feels ok, too. Playing games is fun, but taking regular breaks is a good thing, too. Thank you studio and developers for making a highly enjoyable game. It feels a little sad that I’m singing the praises of a game just because there is actual gameplay. Regardless of that unfortunate reality, this one is a keeper.
