About this game

Story of the Game

Because of a major mistake, the intern wizard burned down half of the wizard school. Nobody can forgive this huge error. He was banished from school and returned home.
Misfortunes never come single. The amethyst of ancestral seal was smashed into pieces, and the monsters come swarming from seal stone. The whole world descended into chaos.
His father left him alone with only one copy named “Turret Engineering. “Aren’t the papers for my tears? “, he thought.
Although he burned the school by accident, he is so confident of his spell. For protecting the muggles of village, for saving his lovely home and for maintaining the peace of the world, he stands up and starts to deploy the defense of dark forest.

Ratings and reviews

Pure adbait, plain and simple. The game play was decent, reminiscent of Kingdom Rush, but imagine if every wave of kingdom rush you were asked to watch an ad. It could be worse, as it never forced me to watch an ad, but, the pop up between every wave (and for every achievement) got on my nerves pretty quick. I deleted it before I got to level 2.

As it is, the game is roughly 80% watching ads, 20% actual gameplay. The core mechanics are fine for a tower defense, but the balance is set up so that if you don't watch ads, you'll get nowhere with the level progression. Towers also appear to get increasingly more expensive, without any guide to what combinations make what towers. The solution, of course, is to watch more ads to generate gold and supplies. There's a summoning system as advertised, but that too is tedious and requires ads.

This game is really fun for starters, the towers are fun, finding all the upgrade paths, the game is simple at it's core, and the reset mechanic isn't confusing or complicated. However few things holding this back from 5*. There becomes a very bad lag issue after you play for around 40ish mins in later chapters, the reset mechanic feels very highly taxed, you get so little unless you spend gems to double it. Third, the spells feel very underwhelming at best, no real reason to play and spam them.
