Great ideas

I really love the style of the game and the easily understandable game, but there are a few major problems that ive encountered. Sometimes the unit pathing completely messes up and the units just simply do not work and fight, and also the units sometimes always take the path to one side of the screen and your other side is completely exposed so its basically an instant loss. Another problem I have is the utter uselessness of ALL the weapon facilities. once they are upgraded they can be helpful but if you keep rolling the ballista, trebuchet, and lightning its almost always a garunteed loss, especially if its before round 5 on levels past 10. i think it would be more enjoyable if each level rolled the cards at the beginning and you could get 3 unit facilities and 2 weapon facilities with 1 healing/shield and 2 other facilities so each round you can max your cards easier and its actually winnable most times because ive found myself stuck on certain levels for almost 50 tries to just easily beat it once i get super lucky. i understand that luck is a big part but thats why the card upgrades are a thing. i know this was a rant but i really hope the devs see this and fix the actual problems at least and consider a different card rolling selection at the beginning

End of the game

I’m not too sure what to write but I absolutely love the game! It’s been the perfect way to pass the time. I haven’t encountered too many things besides a few skills not really working and a few glitches here and there but that’s not an issue. My only problem is the end of the game. It stops at chapter 200 and you can’t lvl your manor past a certain point…. Which makes gold useless, and if you can’t progress further than chapter 200 that’s means you don’t have a very reasonable supply of gems which makes doing anything else besides watching ads and waiting for the afk rewards to be full. Theres just nothing to do at the very end. Other than the end i absolutely love the game and cant wait for more updates.👍👍👍

New Updates and changes are lame.

The new updates coming out are preventing players from even playing the game. For starters the Skill Tree being removed now requires you to pay in order to remove trees and rocks. And now you have to use gems to buy space or watch ads which while is nice, would also still be nice to keep the option to buy them with tokens. Everything now costs coins to upgrade your King gear, your towers/troops, and the game now gives you no coins to balance out the awful ratio. 180 coins… for things that cost 3000 coins? And the whole point of this post is the awful 100% perfect no damage, this concept is dumb and requires you to have the Bush heal your wall or else you will not win every game and so it becomes “You’ll get 100% if you get the Bush” which is mega stupid. 4% and I don’t get the full rewards yet I spent like over like 30 mins a whole round and because one enemy from off screen hit my wall, boom no loot, time wasted. I mean what even is the point of upgrading your wall health if you need to not take a SINGLE hit for you to fully get the rewards. This isn’t a challenge it’s tedious and bad game design and it was better before where the wall could actually take some damage, along with both troops and enemies not dying within like two seconds of fighting. Idk Good game but these updates are starting to make me wanna quit playing.

Fort Guardian (Updated)

Update: Dear development team. I suggest testing your game on multiple ios versions and devices before releasing an update. You don't necessarily have to purchase them either, there are emulators and even services that provide access to cloud-based hardware farms for this purpose specifically. This would minimize preventable issues, like your app crashing on launch for a significant portion of your potential users. If this isn't financially feasible, at the very least, please include a list of compatible devices and OS versions in the app description. (Original Review Below) Initially a fun an enjoyable game mechanic, but it's plagued with bugs and balance issues. Often, you'll get a load-out that won't even let you win the first round, so there a lot of quitting and restarting the level. There's no backtracking or replaying levels to grind out experience, so you'll eventually hit a wall where winning comes down to sheer luck, with vanishingly small odds. The game is unplayable in it's current condition;Not due to any design choices mind you, the app simply crashes immediately after opening. At least, it does on my device. -star for bugs. -star for balance. -star for lack of communication.

Worst Update I’ve ever seen

I’ve enjoyed the game a lot and played non stop for weeks at one point, even went so far to buy different packs/life time benefits. However, once I got the in game notice about potential progression lost with a new overhaul type update I decided to take a break from the game so I can feel refreshed when the update came out. The utter disappointment I’ve experienced from this update is unbelievable… the progression loss is an actual joke. I used to clear levels fine and the strategy came from the higher waves yet now I can’t even get pass the first wave on the level I stopped at. For reference I’m on level 97 and before the update I hadn’t failed a level in over 40~ attempts, I couldn’t even kill a single enemy post update… not to mention the artisan overhaul. I spent money to buy the artisan pack that allowed me to upgrade the skill trees and have 3 artisans to my disposal , but now with this new update I have nothing. No progression whatsoever in this new artisan system and no sort of reimbursement for the things I spent money on that they’ve completely removed from the game

Run but new update unbalanced the game

This a super fun game but there are some clear places for improvement. Interesting to see how many different strategies expand off the randomness of cards and the difficulty scale and progression keeps it fun. Please see below for some areas of improvement: 1. Instead of making a perfect clear at 100% health, please lower it to 90-95%. At 100% a misfire by a ranged enemy ruins an otherwise perfect run. Especially with the low rate for the health plant card. 2. I’m ok that a silver-coin refresh sometimes provides at least one card I can use and one that needs an ad to unlock. But it should never be the case for both to be ad-blocked. It just lowers the quality of the game. 3. With the removal of a lot of skill tree perks such as card re-roll, logs that push enemy back, please bring back some sort of balance. Such as allowing players to earn logs more often or to earn rocks for skill tree upgrade.

Some problems

The game is fun don’t get me wrong but there’s to many flaws that I have experienced that’s decreased the amount of joy while playing this game. For an example the patching for the ai is incredibly stupid in where they can get stuck up on each other preventing them from leaving to attack or they get stuck on the wall so they can’t do any damage to the enemy’s. It’s so frustrating when you have a good run and it’s ruined by the ai doing dumb stuff. Also the bosses have op abilities and if you don’t have the right set up to face them you are sure to fail the level. As an example one of the bosses has a ground pound ability that stuns friendly ai and he can go across the map and use it back to back so it’s frustrating when it uses that ability to jump onto my troops that are next to my wall in an instant and have it attack my wall constantly. If you don’t have enough turrets and the knock back ability for them it feels like it’s impossible to do.

Slow no progression, pay to win big time!!!!

I have played this game 300+ hours at least!! And I would maybe only have half that time if it wasn’t for the fact that they cut the normal speed of the game down by half just so you have to pay or watch an ad to have it x2 speed. It’s the same 6 maps over and over I’m on level 200 and my Armour and towers are still low level this game is very pay to win but even if you pay you don’t get much. I would give it one more star if they didn’t half the game speed just to force you to pay to play the game. It literally looks like it’s going in slow motion while you play. It needs more towers or more loot drop because I have played this game religiously and I’m still low on everything. The concept and animations are great tho that’s why the two stars are given but have fun playing a simple 10 round game that will take you 30 minutes to get through it.

We've also got new Epic Games Store, Netflix, Noodlecake and indie game releases in this week's round-up.
