Tactical War: Tower Defense 12+

Well built game. Addictive. At this point there are 20 levels. I finished them all in about a week. I really appreciate that there was an option for an in app purchase to remove adds. Once that was done, the game was much better. I also appreciate that you can complete all 20 levels without having to pay for any additional in-app purchases. I also liked that it worked well on my iPhone 11. The only suggestion is that once you figure out which towers work for which enemy units, the Levels become somewhat repetitive. Need to figure out a way to mix things up. One bug: mainly impacting level 20, is that the mine/teleport status panel on the lower left, makes it hard to place a tower in the area of the map behind that panel. Looking forward to more levels. One suggestion to maintain playability after completing all levels: add a timer to track the player’s best time. Would also need the ability to send the next round early. This way I can replay the levels to try to beat my best time. Another addition would be to add an unlimited option, where the levels are not limited to 20 waves. That option would keep sending waves of increasing strength until you run out of lives.

Had to search for a long time to find a game I liked. Most have way too many ads to make the game enjoyable, even if it’s a good game. This is a classic tower defense game with some twists that make it interesting without all the flashy confusing stats and hubub in many other TD games. You have to clear your own areas to have room for new defenses—a simple mechanic, but adds a whole new layer of strategy. Also, you upgrade towers separately for each of their power levels, which adds another layer of strategy. But the interface is very simple and intuitive. Also, there is one ad after each level, and the levels last a good couple minutes each—that is totally reasonable. And there aren’t 15 different forms of currency that the game nags you to buy online—you beat a level, you get money, you use that money to upgrade, you play the next level. Excellent game—well done!

I am so glad I found this game. Everything about it is great. I really like how it is very challenging, right from the start!! Like, I actually failed the tutorial a couple times 😝 but what’s really nice is you get a reasonable amount of loot from beating any level & you can go back & replay those levels for equal rewards to the first time completion. I’ve only encountered 2 “flaws”:

-only 20 levels. It’s sad when you finally find a really good game & it’s short… though the levels are very challenging & take a while to beat.

-had some difficulty placing units on the top-right corner of the map, because the space was mostly overlapped by the options buttons. The ability to relocate those buttons as needed would fix that… for now, I just zoom the map so I have more space to click on.
