Mob Control is an action-packed casual game where players aim and shoot at multiplying gates to grow their mob. Lead your army to victory by deploying Champions, breaking through enemy defenses, and raiding bases for coins and bricks. With various game modes, seasonal content, and an ever-evolving armory, it offers a relaxing yet competitive experience.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

90/100

Mob Control is the definition of 'oddly satisfying.' There is something deeply cathartic about firing a stream of blue stickmen through a 'x10' gate and watching a massive wave of units overwhelm a red base. Voodoo has really nailed the feedback loop here—the sound effects, the haptic vibrations, and the visual payoff of a successful raid are top-tier for the hyper-casual genre.

Beyond the basic shooting, there is actually a fair bit of strategy in how you build your 'armory.' Choosing between a fast-firing cannon or a high-capacity mob, and timing your Champion's deployment, can make the difference in higher-level competitive play. The addition of the Champions League and base building gives you a reason to keep coming back long after the initial novelty of the multiplying gates wears off. It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play title.

Champions are powerful units with high health and special abilities that can break through enemy lines much faster than regular mobs.

Exactly as advertised
Mon Feb 12 2024 Irish_medic

I’ve been playing this game for about a year - only really got back into it like six months ago. Got my God tier invite!!! It’s A great way to pass the time! LOVE the piggy races. You don’t need to spend a thing to be a top competitor or in a top tier. There ARE ads but they are VERY INFREQUENT and non intrusive. However if you want to get rid of them it’s only a couple bucks. Which is well worth it bc they really did a great job with this game. They have deals for coins and skip its if you want them. But you don’t ever NEED them. Only thing I’d request is every like 12 battles there’s a quick pop up deal. I actually like those. Every day there’s a new deal. However the past few days my pop up has been stuck on a deal for like millions in gold and hundreds of tickets for $30. Id never spend that. The deals are supposed to change every day but I only ever see this one now. And I won’t buy it. Please fix this so I see the normal deals again. That’s where I buy skip its and gold bc there’s only a couple/few bucks. But I won’t purchase anything anymore if that deal doesn’t change. Aside from that one complaint which is only something I have to deal with (no one else is stuck with that deal - I asked on discord) the game is truly fantastic. Well worth the couple bucks a month I spend for VIP. (Which again- isn’t required to be competitive or get ahead AT ALL - it’s simply a time saver for me) Thank you for making a game that is ACTUALLY what is advertised for once- it’s getting near impossible to find one. Voodoo has done a fantastic job with mob control.

Slowly Improving, Just a Few Glitches Left
Thu Mar 30 2023 Missygirl596

I’ve had this game for a few months now and really enjoy playing it! I paid for the no ads, if you don’t the game is almost unplayable, but that’s 99% of free games now so pick your poison. I like the game, I’ve hit platinum at this point, it’s a lot of fun. There are some frustrating things that I can’t tell if they’re glitches or the developers purposefully slowing people down. First, if you play for more than a certain amount of time straight the rewards you get DRASTICALLY decrease. Like getting a third of what you’d get when you started playing for the day. Every now and then you’ll get a random guy run through your army untouched and take you out. And of course they very obviously have bots (look for the ones with a profile picture) that will break your last shield if you’re doing too well. One of the big ones I’ve noticed is in some of the levels they will have a strange pause in the fighting, or the moving objects will suddenly change pattern, to block the majority of your army from being able to hit and earn you points when you win the fight. I think that one is my most frustrating one - it’s happened too many times to be an accident, every time I see that level set up I know exactly what will happen! Overall though, I am seeing the game improve with each update. Gameplay is better, graphics are nicer, the earning to cost for upgrades ratio evens out, it has amazing potential and it’s nice to see developers moving it in the right direction

Dumb but oddly fun, updates often break things
Sun Feb 11 2024 jqubedTV

I don’t know why I enjoy this dumb game as much as I do; there’s very little challenge to it. I’m confident the regular leaderboard is fake (I’ve never seen myself drop position as time passes without playing) and I don’t think think the “live PvP” battles are actually against other people. But it’s fun nonetheless. They update the game pretty often, but it also seems to cause bugs a lot of the time. For instance, right now they have an event where if you send your mobs through a gate in a level you’ll collect heart tokens for a Valentine’s event. If you collect enough tokens it’ll open a gift chest, but the further along you go the longer you have to wait between unlocking the chest and it opening (you can watch an ad to speed the process up). Right now I only need to wait two minutes, so I’m not watching any ads. But when it tells me the two minutes have passed, when I go back to that screen right now, the timer has reset and I have to unlock the chest again. And the heart tokens aren’t appearing in levels anymore, even though the event has six days left. As far as the ads go, there are a lot of opportunities to watch ads for a bonus multiplier. If you don’t watch the ad for the multiplier they make you watch one anyways and you get no bonus for doing it. Any purchase will remove the mandatory ads and I’ve half-considered buying something small for that purpose because I am enjoying the game. At least the ads aren’t too bad; many can be skipped after 5-15 seconds and the worst ads that are 30 seconds plus 15 seconds of staring at the logo before you can close it don’t come very often, unlike some other games.

Ads
Sat Jan 17 2026 Docjim99

Spend more time watching ads than playing the game. Otherwise a simple mind-number. Update- didnt touch it for 2 years, then tried again. Gameplay is fun but ruined by ads. Example: touch battle tab, then you have to upgrade 1 of 4 weapons- it’s optional but hard to win if you don’t. Anywhere from 40 seconds to 3 minutes later after watching the same annoying King Shot, Royal Match, or Jackpot Go ( with foul language and adult content by the way- don’t play this game with little kids) for the 500th time. Then you win, and get to watch the same ad 2 minutes later. If you lose, you can watch another ad to keep your win streak. So for every short battle you waste many minutes of your life. One ad for Kalshi literally repeated the same 15 second drivel for 3 minutes. Then they have X’s to find, then another countdown, then the arrow, then the x again right next to the edge of your screen where a guy like me literally can’t push it. Have to borrow my 3rd grader’s little fingers. I also wonder how the heck they have 4.6 stars- most reviews I have read say the same thing and are 3 stars. There is no way- just look at the most recent reviews- should be about 3 stars, and all complaining about ads. Developers- self regulate the ad content and difficulty of moving past it. I am deleting the game never to return. Should enough of us do the same, they will be forced to act. Otherwise, enjoy the same IQ killing ads over and over if you choose to continue.

Great game bad customer support
Mon Oct 06 2025 B.Wolf.

Great game but customer service is HORRIBLE. Have been playing for about a year, Was even a subscriber up until i had a major glitch or bug with the game that has been preventing me from being able play the game. Took a video of what was going on the contacted customer support. Got a message a few days later saying they were busy with other tickets. Okay fine, annoying but fine. Several more days go by... finally get a "response" from customer service but its autogenerated telling me that they value my feedback and my feedback has been noted with attached ads for stuff i can buy in game. No resolution to the ongoing issue. No contact with an actual person. No help. Nothing. So i cancelled my subscription as i dont see the point in paying for a game i cant play. The glitch/bug? Every round i play I lose because the tower for my oppenent willsteadily drop and get down to 2k and then nothing. No matter what i do none of the towers will go below 2k. I played one match for over 10 minutes with my soldiers attacking and over running the heck out of the tower but damage to the towers will not go below 2k. The bonus matches just freeze up the garden matches are the only ones that work correctly. I cant play any events or do anything in the game. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled. Even tried on 2 other devices and same issue. My main device is an iPhone 16 Pro Max so its not too old of a device or anything goofy like that.

It’s fun BUT…

Those ads. My god. It loses three stars for making me exit the stupid App Store after EVERY battle. The battles last like 15-30 seconds and then BAM! Ad. Not the simple ads where you just skip the video either. Those I can handle but the ads in this game make you click the X 3-4 times before it goes away. Stop that. I would give it five stars if it was once every three battles or something but I spend more time watching ads than I do playing. Come on! Update: After playing the game some more it is a fun game but those ads are just terrible. There’s way too many. So many that I’ve started calling the game “Ad Control” because I spend what feels like more time watching ads than playing the game. Please take away ads after every battle and make them booster / time gate gate bypass only. If you’d do that this then would be my number 1 game on the App Store currently. The time gates are sensible. The card grind is acceptable. Everything else is great except those stupid ads. I’m sure you’ll get plenties of people bypassing time gates, getting boosters, etc and watching ads. I see the same ad 100 times over when I play and it doesn’t make me want to download whatever trash game is being advertised anymore the 100th time than it did the 1st time. Actually less. I try to play this on my breaks and lunch at work but don’t get anything accomplished other than seeing whiteout survival or some random money scam game or draft kings over and over and over and over and over and it’s just draining and ridiculous.

Avoid this game
Tue May 10 2022 OhLookAKitteh

The game is fun but everything else around user experience is either a disappointment, off putting or flawed. My first issue with the app is that it crashes on my iPhone 13 at least once a day. The Ads on there are the most off putting. Not in the amount of them but the actual content of their ads - it’s clear they don’t moderate them or they don’t care. Some of them will put a fake X in the corner of the screen for you to click on so instead of exiting the ad you are just brought to download their game. They advertise for games with women characters in suggestive positions. There’s also an ad that starts off with a woman climbing up the side of a cliff and the first frame of the ad is just her behind CLAPPING in tight shorts jiggling on the screen. Then she climbs the cliff to fight zombies. But the MOST offensive part is now they are running ads that will not allow you to mute the sound on your phone and it will not let you turn down the volume manually. To be more specific I just had an ad for a fish game and the app REFUSED to let me manually turn it down. As I was holding the volume down button on my phone I watched the volume meter go down and then forcibly be brought back up to a baseline volume on my screen. I’ve never had an Ad experience like this before and I hope to never again. Do yourself a favor and download a different app. There’s others out there just like this but with better mindfulness of their users and ads.

Coin update killed it.
Thu Jan 30 2025 purplemooose

This game is as advertised “oddly satisfying”. There is some strategy to picking the right components and beating the towers. There is satisfaction in upgrading the towers to increase performance and upgrading the mobs and cannons to make those better. There are enough events to make it interesting but not so many that I lost interest. Some how I didn’t even mind that I was typically watching 1-2 ads per round to double the fire rate or triple the earnings. Somehow I was still ok spending as much time playing as ad watching… I did notice that the coins were not particularly useful after a point but I just ignored them and I saw other reviews point this out. Presumably in an effort to fix this, an update made them more important. I don’t know what mob/cannon upgrades cost before but now I need $800,000 to $2,000,000 for each upgrade. And since a round only yields $20,000 to $400,000 (even with the extra ad at the end) I’m left with lots of cards to upgrade but not nearly enough coins. I tried watching ads for more coins but since each gives only $90,000 I could easily spend 2 hours of ad watching to support the upgrades earned during 20 minutes of gameplay. For me this makes the game frustrating and no longer enjoyable. I hope you can fix this for future players.
