Tower Brawl 9+

This game would be a five star game if it wasn’t a pay to win game. The game itself is a very fun and entertaining game that takes skill and some luck to be a contender but that fact gets easily overlooked when you realize that the only way to get the player cards you need to level up is really to pay for them you get very little gems needed to summon player cards and again if you don’t pay you have to watch ads to try and get player cards. You do have the option to use coins you earn while playing to buy player cards in the shop but once again you can only buy player cards once a day and then have to again watch ads to refresh the shop to be able to buy more card from the shop within the same day oh and you can only refresh 3 times a day unless you pay overall great game just feel they should even things out a little for those that aren’t in a position to pay to win maybe incorporate chest like other games that give you cards or daily task that let you earn gems that will allow you to at least compete with those that are paying.

Where to start….First it’s super buggy, between sound breaking, if you switch apps and come back, to getting constant errors about ads not found, to random lag spikes and disconnects from matches that end in automatic losses, it’s a piece of trash from a programming perspective. Then you get to the game, it’s all pay to win, since hero’s get stronger the more levels you have on them, which mind you mainly comes from buying gems to use to find them. Health on your tower is directly connected to the number of heroes and their levels, which again brings back the pay to win piece. There’s zero strategy to a match, since you only go in with a preset group of heroes, so no real way to counter an opponent, so you just hope you don’t match up with a complete counter to your heroes. Match making is putrid, probably because so many people stopped playing, except the whales, so you are mostly matched up against players with far stronger heroes than you have, which is almost always a loss. Balancing is non existent, considering the same heroes are OP for months now. Coop is pointless, because most players all play the same heroes that you never compliment each other to actually go far in coop. Plus I’m pretty sure you are mostly partnered with bots, because nobody ever communicates in a coop match. All in all, this is an absolute dumpster fire of a game, when you compare it to other games of its style out there.

I got this game the other day and I’m enjoying it a lot! Legendary units, at least early on, don’t seem to be infinitely stronger than many of the others. My one criticism is on the basis of unit synergies. The tower allows you to field 6 units at a time, but many of the powerful units give you a synergy buff for fielding 3/5 units of the same type. 3 unit synergies feel good to play/play around and still have some team diversity, but 5 unit synergies feel a bit too forcing game to game and require you to neglect half your deck, leaving you with a lot of bad draws. Maybe these units will be outclassed at later levels, in which case I might update this review. Until then, I’ll keep trying to do my dailies every day!
