Don't bother. Other games do it better. There is a lot needed to fix. Heavily reliant on mines get anywhere. Clearing trees takes so many rounds worth of income. Enemies get super strong quickly. You can't rearrange your base after placing things because you can only hold 3 in storage. Hero upgrades require gems instead of gold like everything else. Everything about this game screams "pay for me" Forcing ads to play is a terrible way to treat players, especially if kids are going to play.

I'm having fun with this game, but I'm on playpass. this game is clearly full of micro transactions and ads, and there are way too many of them. It's got a classic ad skip purchase that only stops forced ads. The art style is ok, but none of the characters are fun to look at. Only play this if you have playpass. Edit: No I have not had any ads on the playpass version.

Hello Isaac, thx for your report, can we ask you if you're experiencing ads even on the google play pass? Thx

Fun to play, almost no pay-walls which is great. Like most games nowadays it has ads while in a match. The only issue is that while in an ad it will crash, no way to continue your match making you force close the game and lose the progress on that match. Overall a good time killer. Edit(13Dec2026) After the last 2 updates it still has issues, now on top of the previous ones, it crashes during the "boss challenge match", it will glitch and nothing will happen it will just be stuck "attacking".
