I just got this game from watching one of my favorite youtubers, and the first thing I notice is there is no tutorial. This can be really confusing for new players, so even if you could just add the littlest tutorial, it would be so helpful. I went into the survival mode and it said "Wave 1, Survive as long as possible". I clicked the Checkmark but it just brought me to a add, which I thought was just a coincidence. I was wrong. I had to click the Checkmark THREE times, which brought me THREE ADDS. I immediately got annoyed but decided to go along with it. I do admit, the little guys and towers are cool designs, but as I got my first swordsman, two swordsmans and three archers ran over to me and killed me, so I had to retreat. After that, it gave me another thingy, "Wave two. Survive as long as possible". Guess what? Add. After i got that down, I was getting a lot of gold and getting lots of swordsmans, and decided to attack. Guess what? Two adds, bam. Annoyed, I decided to attack the other kingdom, but it just said "Survive as long as possible" and made me watch two more adds. I was so annoyed that I didn't even click the other options. If your looking for a Cool, battle app with stickman people, this is it, but it has SO MANY ADDS. Another potentially amazing game going into the trash. I understand that's how the developers make money, but dang, there's no need for 3 adds in a single minute. I do not recommend.
Played the game for a couple days and the gameplay is good. I have not experienced any issues within the game, the movements of the figures looks great, and I liked how the appearance of your troops change as you upgrade them. These are the reasons I would have given it 5 stars. I will only rate it as three though because of all the ads. I understand that is how the creator makes money from the app, but this is excessive. It seems like an ad plays after every 4 minutes or so, but that’s not the end of it. You want to continue your game that you paused you have to watch an ad, you watch an ad to get double rewards from the campaign guess what you have to watch a second ad just to continue. Tried survival and made it to wave five because I had to watch an ad after completing a wave and before the next wave started. Two ads in 60 second or so intervals. Yes all of the triggered ads can be skipped so you do not have to watch the full ad, but it gets annoying stopping the gameplay so frequently and to the point where it seems like every button you hit triggers one. The game was fun while I could play it, but alas I will be deleting it for other apps that don’t force ads in the players face.
This game is lots of fun to play but has a lot of bugs and issues. The first issue is that when mining gold it doesn’t let u collect the gold if you are playing as the miner. The second issue is that there are a ton of adds in between levels and loading screens. The third issue I have is that when your selected character dies it brings u back to your tower, and when you are fighting as your selective character it will auto attack for you if there is an enemy in front of you; both of these are very annoying. The whole point of selecting a character to fight is so you can choose who you want to attack, but with the auto attack you can’t go past the front line and attack the archers or other troops in the back. My final issue is that when troops are running back to your tower the troops chasing them can’t attack them unless they stand still for a split second. I would suggest fixing the bugs as mentioned, take off auto attack on your selected character, and reduce the amount of ads. If they do any of these then the game would be much for fun, and would draw in a bigger audience!
