The game doesn’t force any adds on you! You can choose to watch adds to get more rewards, but the game is still totally beatable without watching the adds. This game is definitely a bit of a grind but it can be really fun. It also requires a fair bit of strategy to beat. I really like that because in most games you just spam click soldiers, however in this game you have to really think about when to send them out and which troops are best. I do think it can start out slow, you kind of have to be willing to play for a bit to get in the swing of things. The first few levels are SUPER tuff, but if you play past them the cards help and the game gets WAY more fun. Lots of strategy is required when choosing what upgrades to get as well. My only complaint is that you do have to work REALLY hard to progress and it can get repetitive when you have to play the same level for the 10th time. Yet somehow that just adds charm to the game making it hard to progress without being impossible. Overall it’s a really good strategy game! I would definitely recommend it!

This game is exactly what it set out today. Not the most advanced or well-done game but an enjoyable way to spend a portion of your time. The mechanics are a copy of another game but that’s all right. that doesn’t really take away from the experience.I only have one complaint. when I played the game, I wanted to see if I could beat it on Stone Age so I spent hours upgrading the speed at which units can be built so that I could Zerg swarm my enemies. eventually, I got to a point where the gains were not fast enough to be enjoyable and I would most likely have to spend twice the amount of hours to beat the next level. at that point, I decided to go ahead and upgrade to the next page. When I did all of the upgrades I made to my units disappeared, and I was actually weaker. I know that I was not playing the game the way it was meant to be played, but I also spent about as much time on the Stone Age as it would normally take people to beat the whole game. I would’ve been all right to not be rewarded for the time I spent, but it felt pretty bad to be punished for it. I don’t think the developer thought that people would spend so much time in the Stone Age that they could knock out a soldier every 3/4 of a second. it just would have been so much more enjoyable an experience if the time I spent was rewarded. I clicked on the optional get extra money for watching an advertisement after every run.

This game, basically, turns into a job if you want to be competitive during the season events or ‘race to collect the most trophies challenges’. Some of the other challenges are just straight grinding, even with skill boosts you’ll have to play, and lose, the same level 15-20x each, all to get skills cards, coins and a +5% damage/health medal. Lastly, the “optional” advertisements are unavoidable unless you want to grind, grind, and grind some more. That’s what burns me out—you’ll start watching more ads than playing the game. Each day resets certain freebies or micro “dungeon” challenges to beat a wave of zombies, a boss, a wave of super tough troops. Each one gives you 2 attacks without ads, and once you win both, you get up to 2 more but they’re with ads… The free-spin has 5x additional spins for 1x ad each. The 2x daily free 100 coins are 1 ad each, and then the gameplay gives you 2x-ish coins at the end of each attack, win or lose, if you watch an ad. Most of the ads take 30-40 seconds, as long as you’re patient and click through them correctly then you won’t get bounced around too much to the App Store. There are a very few amount of ads that take a solid 60 seconds for a very simple reward. You can’t multi-task to another app, text, etc., because the ad will not resume until you open the game back up.

This game is so disappointing! It’s the only game I’ve played that punishes you for purchasing things with your actual real money. The moment I purchased items is the exact moment the level became impossible to beat. Before purchasing the items, game progression was slow and incremental but possible. But now, after buying the $22 and two $7 items I conclude each battle with the same monetary reward, regardless of the many upgrades I applied after the purchases. It appears that purchasing the items made the game too difficult the play. Now I feel like I just wasted $36 plus tax. I want to give this game one star but I have to give it two stars because it was fun enough to make three purchases. Yes, I purchased all three items on the same day. My advise to others is to proceed with caution. If you can avoid it, don’t watch ads and definitely don’t purchase anything unless you don’t mind feeling ripped-off. Be aware, the moment you purchase and/or watch ads is the exact moment the game stop functioning the same. Also, another annoying thing is that some ads didn’t allow me to continue playing. After I finish watching the ad the “x” does not function causing me to have to close out the game and reopen it. You just simply lose your reward: just another reason why I feel ripped off.
