Our Expert Score

93/100

Fieldrunners 2 is the gold standard for tower defense. It takes everything that made the original great and expands it in every direction. The level design is brilliant, forcing you to think about 'creeping'—the art of making a maze so long and convoluted that enemies can't possibly reach the end. The addition of varied maps, from open fields to narrow tunnels, keeps the strategy fresh.

The art style is gorgeous and full of personality; the enemies are well-animated, and the towers feel powerful when they fire. The difficulty is high—this isn't a game you can win with just one strategy. You have to adapt your loadout to every specific wave of enemies. It’s polished, deep, and remains one of the most rewarding strategic experiences on mobile. It is a true sequel that surpasses the original.

Features

Massive 20+ hour campaign across varied environments

Over 20 unique, upgradable towers

New game types including Puzzle and Sudden Death

Stunning hand-painted 2D graphics and animation

Intelligent AI that finds the shortest path through your maze

Tips & Walkthrough

Mastering the Maze

Don't build your towers in a straight line. Create 'S' curves or zig-zags to force the enemies to travel the maximum distance possible. This gives your towers more time to fire and ensures that your Gatling and Glue towers are constantly active.

Gameplays

Using Items

Fieldrunners 2 introduces consumable items like air strikes and mines. Save these for the massive 'Heavy' waves. An air strike can clear a group of enemies that would otherwise breach your final defenses.

Yes, the AI is smarter and the levels are more complex, but the new towers and items give you many more ways to win!

Best Game by far EXCEPT..

IT NEEDS AN UPDATE TO IOS17. To clarify, the screen resolution is too big so some buttons and touch pads close to the sides glitch where parts of the map is inaccessible. Please shrink it down or at least move the buttons closer to the middle. It seems like this game can burn hot through your battery fast, but you can get lost playing bc it's soon well done that even years later it's fun! Lots of bugs where even with enough stars or coins, you can’t purchase new types of turrets or defense. While it's still playable without needing to buy new stuff, it's definitely a loss in experience. Don't even get me started on the swipeable bar for iPhone users. That portion below the iPhone which is like the home button makes it so hard to reach and access the bottom layer of the interface/map. With all this said, don't let this review stop you from enjoying the game! The temporary fix I learned is that you can zoom into the map and navigate to the bottom to access that part of the map for placing turrets on the bottom slots of the map. Would have loved to give Fieldrunners 2 5 stars, but the glitches, bugs, and updates need to be patched especially for iOS 17. Please Update The Game! Thank You.

Great Game, but not for the Casual Player

Sun Apr 07 2019 Worlygirl

I personally think that Fieldrunners 2 is a great game! The gameplay is smooth, and the tutorial gives juuust enough info so you don’t feel like your hand is being held, but enough so that you sort of know what you’re doing. I have a few issues though, first the minor one: The tutorial shows EVERY TIME you play the first level, and should be able to be turned on or off. Now the real issue: Although the game is fun and all, for the casual player, you can’t fully beat the game. This player will only go on casual mode (or whatever the easiest mode setting is) throughout most if not all of the game. The issue is that you cannot fully beat the game like this. My idea is that the other mode settings are either removed (preferably not) or are optimized to be easier for the casual player. Also, this player won’t spend money to get in-game money, so maybe make items cheaper, as well as getting new turrets slightly easier.

Can’t buy new towers or items! Not ideal on iPhone X

Thu Jun 14 2018 jltchee

I love this game, and have been playing it on and off for years. Every time I start it up again, I obsessively play through all the maps on endless mode for days. I’ve tried other tower defense games and none compare. iPhone X issues... I recently downloaded the game again, this time on my iPhone X. I’m not sure if the game is not optimized for iPhone X. •none of the purchase buttons work! I can’t buy new towers or items using coins I’ve earned. This is such a bummer because my favorite part of the game is playing around with all the new and interesting towers. •A sliver on the top part of the map is cut off. •When selecting a tower, the ‘home’ slide up function on the iPhone gets in the way and takes you to your home screen. Sometime this leads to misplaced towers •You can not place towers on the very edge of the map because it won’t recognize your finger placement towards the very edge of the screen. You can get around it if you zoom all the way in. I really wish they updated the game to work on iPhone X, continue to add new towers, or just release a new tower defense game altogether.

Best Game Eve!!!

You don’t need any other games when you have this. Can’t tell you how many hours of life spent playing this. This is a strategic game with puzzles and mazes and guns. This is not confusing or difficult to learn. And it’s the best of its kind in this genre! Very brilliant game. Each level is different from the other and fun it their own ways. A game where you lay down weapons and kill little army men and tanks and planes before they reach the finish line. Build creative paths and have fun planning your weapons. Start with field runners one, and enjoy then play number 2. Number is my fav. But I liked playing in order.

iPhone X Support! ...Sorta...

Thu May 17 2018 Age•Brown

I saw they finally added iPhone X support, and I was very pleased, until I realized it wasn’t fully supported. The tower icons are too close to the bottom, making you always leave the app if you get too close to the bottom. Some of the UI elements are cut off at the edges, as well as the notch at the top. I’ve also noticed that I can’t add towers to the very bottom row because my finger falls off the screen before the tower is on the bottom row. It’s a good update, but it honestly almost makes the game unplayable, with the exception of a few levels... honestly, they need to fix this app, and they need to come out with a Fieldrunners 3. I still love this game, and I really hope they fix it so it’s playable again.

God I love this game.

Still by far my favorite tower defense game. The only issue right now is iPhone X/Xs support. Currently the game is playable and looks amazing full screen. But there are some little quirks. Specifically that your tower icons are too close to the swipe bar on the bottom of the phone. This makes you swipe to home or multitasking almost every time you want to use your Gatling tower. Which is the most common tower. Hopefully you guys can fix these issues. Could this is still one of the best games made for iPhone. As soon as it’s fixed this will become a five star review.

Still buggy - Don’t buy coins!

Tue Apr 21 2020 Adam M A

Last update was over 2 years ago to support the iPhone X, it may have worked then but I’ve played this game on and off for the past year and it’s still buggy and they won’t fix it. DONT buy any coins, you can’t spend them, the buttons to buy towers and items won’t work. It’s hard to place towers around edge tiles unless you zoom in and dragging towers from the dock causes the task switcher to activate. Now there’s another new issue that just started a couple weeks ago. The circle button in the bottom right corner when your on the World Map screen normally would show you news about events and such is now broken, instead of showing really old updates, it now shows a bunch of gibberish that I believe is PHP script.

Broken - No Longer Supported

Fri Sep 25 2020 Superkoopa

The developers continue to take money for buying the application and have made sure their in app purchases work to pay them real currency for buying in game items like coins, however the developers have ignored multiple support requests from users. A critical bug in the game is that while they allow you to use real money to buy coins, the game will not let you use the coins. If you try to use coins you’ve earned/purchased the item will tell you that you need more coins although you have enough. Non-responsive developers and bad/deceptive business practices. At this point Apple should step in as they are allowing these developers to be paid for a broken and unsupported application.
