Ratings and reviews

Very enjoyable gameplay loop involving combat, building, upgrades, etc. up until you unlock ads at which point the game becomes unplayable due to the sheer amount of ads you're required to watch in order to advance the game. It's quite overwhelmingly distasteful and caused me to drop an otherwise 5 star time killer to a one star cash grab. As much as I love the execution of the genre, there's simply too many options to compete for my time to support that kind of decision.

This is an amazing game, probably the best indie game I've played on mobile. I'm so surprised it's free. Talking about that, it's crazy to see people saying the game has too many ads, considering the quality that's shown here. There is a way of removing them by paying a more than reasonable amount. But, if you're like me, a bit short on cash, you'll feel great watching the well integrated ads that support the incredible devs. Story is short and sweet and it took me around 7 hours. Recommended!

Overall a very fun game, the story mode is very enjoyable and has a good bit of replay value. The party mode is overall very enjoyable; however, when you are in a boss fight and are trying to fight the boss, the auto-targeting ALWAYS goes for the small enemies. This makes some bosses borderline impossible, even on easy difficulty, because you simply cannot hit them without dieing. If they either add a setting to turn on manual targeting or to prioritize bosses, this review will become 5 stars.
