it is a good game and worth buying for no ads, good loop and can be fun but, progress is painfully slow with costs and upgrade times of days for such very small gains
- Andrew Amos · v28.3.2
boring yet satisfying slow burner
- Anthony Gabaree · v28.3.2
I liked this game so much I got the 30$ upgrade
- TeoRF · v28.3.1
The game doesnt push ads on you which is very nice. I like the futuristic look and sounds of the game. Fun overall. Will recommend to friends.
- Jeffrey Morales · v28.3.2
Fun game with lots of support and updates. Unfortunately at higher levels your runs will take you upwards of 12 hours real time in a game that has to be open on screen to keep going, even when you have 5x speed upgrade.
- Brett Roe
My main issue is how hot my phone gets after 2 minutes of playing... like, am I supposed to be cooking eggs on my phone while playing this??
- Nightclaw 4032 · v28.3.1
Caused my phone battery to overheat, warp, and ruin my phone. Not worth the literal fire hazard.
- Alison Blue · v28.3.1
Great game, but the app MUST be open to be progressing. Not really my definition of an Idle Game.
- Eskimo Jones · v28.3.1
not bad

Great game, and music, sometimes I just pause the game, connect my phone to Bluetooth speaker and listen to all the music! Thank you for this great game!

it's a simple and awesome game. only ads when you want them for extra diamonds. but it's truly a free to play game. totally worth it.
- Mikenna Bernards · v28.3.1
When I first saw the ads, I thought to myself "there is no way a game this heavily advertised can be good." And I was right. It is designed to waste as much of your time and money as possible, while offering very little in return. Unfortunately it is also fun, hence two stars.
- Dan Oblak · v28.3.1
it's a very good game, even after being a user for t years I would still say it is very good, there is no intrusive ads in anyway whatsoever, any reviews that claim there are any intrusive ads throughout the game are completely untrue as the only ads are ones that you would click on. now the game in general is hard at the start, sometimes even frustrating, but it doesn't seem like your ever hitting your head into a wall, it always feels like your making progress through the game.
- Jack Meyer · v28.3.1
The ads try to force me to install a game i don't want. So i closed the game and uninstalled it.

I don't know why, but I deeply enjoy it. thank you so much

You can lose your progress if you pause for even 5 minutes. No way to resume a game. You have to start that game completely over.
- Alex Schamenek · v28.3.1
if you want to play this game seriously, if you want to have progress, then you need to spend some serious money and sacrifice a few devices since the game will kill the battery because you keep it running 24/7
- Dave Big E · v28.3.1
Progress is painfully slow. I have played dozens and dozens of rounds and I feel like I have made ZERO progress. The pathetic upgrades I'm buying don't provide a measurable improvement. Still stuck on the same wave. This is definitely a "pay us to progress faster" model. So, either glacial progress over eons or just pay.
- Sup3rJ3di · v28.3.1
At first, it's boring and hard. It becomes easier and fun when you keep playing.

Game doesn't load past 78%. Gives an Error: "Not able to load Pruchaser" it stays at 78%. This has been happening for a many months now . I keep redownloading it after a few months in hopes that it has been fixed.
- Broderic Goodfellow
I'm very much in love with The Tower, that said there is a niche that this game fills that not every gamer is into: although it's one of the aspects I enjoy most. The progress is slow, and I mean slow. I would say that in our current digital playground, this kind of mobile game is far and few between and when done is often done poorly: it takes a lot of thinking ahead, grinding, and PATIENCE to enjoy this game to its fullest; but the moment of joy having completed a thing that took months? Woah
- Londinium Of Lazarus · v28.3.1
the early game is very simple, I got bored and nearly stopped playing but after that, ten out of ten game
- Gustav Mischke · v28.3.1
The game is fun for a bit but the gameplay loop is repetitive and the progression system is ridiculously slow

- yom Vem
This game has a really cool concept and is kinda fun to play! But when you want to buy upgrades you notice the problem you need to pay a total of 50 dollars otherwise your coin gain is 1/6 of what it should be. its also super agreesive with the notifications as any time I close the app I will get a notification due to not filling the lab as I don't have the coins to fill it. it also didn't work while offline which was one of the main reasons I installed it.
- Normallion · v28.3.1
good game for the most part. the module events are frustrating. find myself wasting my gems to get only commons. should remove commons from event buys. otherwise a solid game, would be better if it would run while the app isn't open.

really quite interesting, trying to figure out a budget with recycling, this app is for auditing the recycling industry, right??? that's my understanding of The Tower.
- Skylarscomputer · v28.3.1
A blast in a whim. Just decided to download it off an ad and it's a simple fun game where you feel like you can play and progress without having to spend, but spending makes the progression quicker/easier, but not necessary
- William Martin · v28.3.1
I enjoy the game and the music. just wondering when the idle kicks in

great game but please give us a faster speed multiplier, like 3x or even 4x. 1.5x is not noticeable enough and males the grind feel sluggish. edit: i found the lab i can now get faster game speeds :D

I mean the game is a very fun tower defense very idle but my god I want that coin boost and your ads don't fing work they just scamming you to watch ads you watch the ad for a revive or a coin boost and literally just makes you close out the app and start it back up ads dont give you any boost but you cant back out of them once you click meaning imo this game is scummy for this
- steven louallen · v28.3.1
This is the type of greed they talk about in the bible. The fact that one of possible daily missions is about "watching ads". And the fact you have to watch mostly 5 ads per battle (if you're T1) is sickening (I know you're not forced, but as a F2P player, you'll be left behind if you don't watch ads). They already have BIG signs that promotes their expensive micro-transactions (seriously? ₱500 for a handful of gems, that's someone's father's daily income), yet they still aren't content.
- Dounald Maechael · v28.3.1
just a properly good phone game
- Daniel Conley · v28.3.1
consumed my life for longer than most other idle/ idle like games (+2 stars, gr8 b8 m8) incremental. you'll unlock upgrades that require you to spend hundreds of millions of coins you couldn't possibly have at that point of gameplay nor with a bonus week of playtime in order to wait another week for that same minor buff for an ability (you can't even afford to unlock) to finally kick in. you not only have to actively run this game, you'll need to watch 150 ads per day minimum to get anywhere
- Dea Oj
I really like this game, but it's very difficult progress as a new player... It's also sort of pay to win, but it doesn't matter a lot cuz the game itself is mainly singleplayer.
- Krzysztof Błajda · v28.3.1
great game
- Luis zavala · v28.3.1
Great game. Bug report: The module auto merge dialog needs a deselect all button.
- Mike Fedyk · v28.3.1
It's a good game with a unique style compared to all the other games like it, but I can't bring myself to rate it higher than 3 stars. I have been playing for ages and am still just getting started as I refuse to pay money. and even if you do decide to spend money, the prices are outrageous. Cool game, but it nearly poses itself as a scam with how greedy some of the prices are.
- Stephen Galvan · v28.3.1
watching ads is required to complete the basic weekly challenge road. every week there is a "challenge" to claim resources through advertisements, directly tied to a reward that must be completed to finish the full reward tier. trash mobile game with greedy devs. predatory marketing as usual to make money in your mobile game. not worth playing over this scumbag practice
- Drumstick McRip
Excellent time killer, slow but pleasing progression that doesn't have you at top tier in just a couple of tries.

great game to waste some time. Can we get an update on where you can confirm an upgrade for the bots because I have lost ribbons because of miss taps on them.
- Eon Years · v28.3.1
idk how to progress, I feel stuck without even being that far in 😞
- Brayden Brouhard · v28.3.1
this game is nice and calming, yes I am not much of a fan for idle games but this is more fun then ever, the only issue is that it is a little bit too much of a grind fest cause I have been playing for a month by now and I just hit wave 40, It's worth your time though, Update: The game has blown my mind on its anniversary because you get 3 relics and 1 custom tower and background, because of that I almost got to wave 80
- Eugene · v28.3.1
i installed and removed this game a few times. its simple design and straightforward gameplay is a nice change of pace. my issue is the pay to play game design using a long grind. i get bored after weeks of grinding wirh one powerup in the lab unlocked. the cash shop works, though, but im not spending money for the hope that i will progress. and when i come back to it, the gameplay gets slower. its being slowed down. i would make faster progress building my own game than grinding this one.
- Robert Groff (Groffenator)
I really like the tower. It's a game I'd buy straight away if it was added to steam. It has a few limitations, though. It is not really an idle game. Runs can last for hours, and you have to have the game open the entire time. You can't do anything else on your phone otherwise you don't progress. Lots of cash-grabby options too, that are heavily pushed on you when your progress slows.
- ZebrasLegend · v28.3.1

- Shaun Joven
boring installed it again after a while. and stil boring. first stuck at wave 40. then 60 now in invincible after doing a little upgrades and going over lvl 1000. and everything takes ages.
- Paul K · v28.3.1
this game is agonizingly slow progression. personally, i do not mind this, but if that's not your thing, understand that stepwise progression in this game is measured in days, weeks, and even months. with that in mind, this is a heavy strategy focused roguelite with a TON of mechanics that keep it engaging over this long period of time, and the dopamine of scaling is so rewarding
- Michael Schuhler · v28.3.1
Interesting and deep content TD game, with flaws. game must be left open and running so the battery of my phone needs to be charged constantly, runs can take for 6-8 hours. All content can be earned free, but this will take ages. the game steers heavily to pay for progress boosts. which are expensive. the beginning it feels more chill but the further you progress, the more you feel the urge you need to spend to make progress. especially around tier 13-15.
- Kevin · v28.3.1
Eigentlich 5 Sterne, allerdings zeigt das Spiel meine erreichten Wellen im Turnier falsch an und ranked mich dementsprechend ein. Hätte eigentlich Welle 308 gehabt, aber angezeigt wurde, dass ich nur zur Welle 187 gekommen bin. Hab das Turnier 3 mal wiederholt und trotzdem statt der erreichten Wellen ~280 stand immer da, dass ich nur bis 187 gekommen bin. Ich finde es sehr demotivierend, da das Kompetetive für mich die Langzeitmotivation ausmacht. Support antwortet nicht auf Mails mit Screens.
- Adrian Stellbrink · v28.3.1
Slow, each game can take well over an hour. Various upgrades seem pointless, interest \ wave capped at $50 when an upgrade can easily cost over $100,000.00 Attack function is pointless and doesnt even touch the sides, on wave 900, the enemies had a life in excess of 5 million, attack was circa 500, the only item that helps is thorn, but they have to physically attack the tower, as such damage the tower eventually. Okay to pass some time, assume above may improve if you purchase packs.
- Steven Robert Hunt · v28.3.1
Don't bother caring or trying unless you want to spend hundreds a month, and the only acceptable 'build' now is damage focused everything. Cool screensaver though.
- Kyle Bankhead · v28.3.1
this is a great game, however it doesn't quite meet the requirements to be tagged as "offline" since it keeps saying I need an internet connection
- Emily Nicole · v28.3.1
great game lots of fun
- Sebastien Robert · v28.3.1
Great fun. Can play for free easily.
- Karl T · v28.3.1
This game is actually really fun, the ads don't lie for once and there are so many upgrades to choose from AND all ads are optional. Side note, this game is a little bit of a grind to get sertent upgrades. Also if you want to play this game offline you have to connect to the Internet first and then without closing the game you can then use it offline. You can't spend gems offline but you can still use coins.
- Karl Dorrington · v28.3.1
exactly the timewaster I wanted
- Shane Carr · v28.3.1
addicted
- Dalan Singson · v28.3.1
its a great game and has endless things to do, only downside is that it gets boring over time
- Harry Gardner · v28.3.1
a low effort, artificially time-gated game where every single step is designed to siphon your IRL money. It's not even an idle game. you have to keep it running at all hours of the day to make any progress. lab timers surpassing 2 entire years, FOMO stone packs critical to progression that cost money, and so, many, ads. It's genuinely disgusting even for mobile game standards. Do not play this game.
- LittleEris
too complicated
- Jakub Goncz · v0.17.12
This game is a lot of fun.
- Brandon Hayward · v28.3.1
this is literally just a money spending simulator. the only way to progress in this game is to spend thousands of dollars and follow strict guides. if you decide to play a unique play style, the devs will nerf your play style so you are forced to spend more money to continue to progress.
