I Miss the Old Mobile Games.

Rating: 1/5

Tons of ads. AI’s only target you and you can do nothing to give yourself an advantage. Nice premise, ruined by what ruins all mobile games nowadays: greed. Nobody makes a good mobile game cause they are passionate over it, just for ad revenue and money and this game is another example. Ad after every 2 minute level and trying to get you to watch an ad to upgrade your gameplay. The ai’s are poorly programmed and will not target other players, only you. As a result they will hunt you down taking the towers you just took 2 seconds ago and keep an advantage over you until you die. So you might think to upgrade your troops you spawn with or the tower spawn time. Nope, that upgrades them too. So what’s the point? There isn’t one. Mobile game companies are greedy. Get this cash grab garbage out my face and talk to me when you make a game you actually care about and not some passionless greed fest.

I deleted after playing for about an hour total. My main synopsis is that the game is fun for about 30 seconds until you realize it’s another clickbait game designed to put you at a disadvantage as to coerce you into watching as many ads as possible. The game doesn’t scale in difficulty through the levels, rather the AI will upgrade alongside you so you never have an edge. Here’s what I noticed: A. You earn coins every game and you can spend those coins on 2 upgrades. The first is an upgrade to your towers spawn time, and the second is an upgrade to your starting “crowd” B. You face off against an AI that will upgrade as you upgrade. MEANING that no matter how many ads you watch (coin bonuses), and no matter how many upgrades you buy, the AI will always have a leg up. C. Levels don’t correlate with difficulty. As I mentioned the AI will just upgrade with you. D. The AI opponents will target you and only you. This becomes frustrating since the AI will always spawn crowd members faster and will hunt you down, leaving you 0 chance of winning. E. The best strat is to avoid every AI and hide around the map while picking off abandoned towers. There’s no depth in the game. And for that reason, I’m out. Cheers

I know a lot of people are complaining that the AI chases you down; I have definitely had a few annoying rounds like that. However, that’s when I developed a strategy and the game started getting a little more fun. In the game, there are arrows around your screen, showing you the general direction of where the other teams are and the number of units in their crowd. I use this to avoid other crowds while I collect more units, unless I can see that that I have more units than another team, in that case I will chase them down and eliminate them. If I do, however, happen to run into run into a bigger crowd AI that locks onto me I will either run towards another crowd that is as big as them to deter them, or I will continuously run their crowd through the spike balls that are found throughout the various maps. I hope my review will help some of these other reviewers who are struggling to enjoy the game, because it can be fun. 4 stars because ads tho. Hate those, but I know everybody gotta make their money somehow so it’s whatevs. Namaste.
