Seemingly endless content in this "castle defense" style strategy game. Seamless play and very loveable characters. Fantastic art and an actual challenge come late game. It's free so just give it a chance! Update: Two years in and still love it! I've played every day since getting the game and the developers put so much love into it. Give it a try, it's free so you have nothing to lose~

Great game with awesome music and a very long story/worldbuilding. Lots of characters and most of them have some serious drip. Gacha is decent, but very good in the sense that you don't need to reroll just because you didn't get that one guy/lady everyone talks about. Difficulty ranges from the first level in a Kirby game to 'the Dark Souls of Tower Defense.' Enemy design/mechanics vary greatly, once you get out of the first two chapters, as do the maps.

The art is actually really well made. The level designs and the base designs are also amazing, it's a simple cube design that I enjoy. If you like tower defense games, this game is for you. I also think the HUD for the menu is also well done and feels smooth. However, when I do missions the screen gets dark and it's as if a character is giving some dialogue but I cant see it; if I tap a few times (as if I was continuing the dialogue) it puts me back into the game. Idk if it's a bug but pls fix

Needs a couple quality of life changes like a repeat mission option. But pretty fun, the 3-4 stars are the meta when u start cause of low costs. Edit: I've now been playing for years. The developers haven't always made the best decisions. But the game itself is far more fair than most mobile games. And has kept me entertained for untold hours now. 5 stars all day.

ive been playing this game for a really long time, and it still brings a lot of joy. the characters are well-designed and have fantastic voice actors across the board, the story/lore is super interesting, and you can tell hypergryph/yostar put a lot of effort into this game. the graphics arent too impressive, but the user interface is sleek and the design of everything is just top notch. overall its a fantastic game that you should definitely try, and its super f2p friendly too

Been playing this game since launch in EN. Easily the best game on the market. Very free to play friendly. I just do the $5 monthly pass to support the game and get a little extra rewards, way less than what I have spent to play some MMOs in the past. But, you don't even need to do that. This is single player, and you can just play at your own pace. Lots of events and variety of mechanics, I promise that after 2+ years of play, you won't get board.

Edit: Giving the final 5/5* because Devs keep proactively trying to improve the game, and adding new game modes that are fun, without being Sanity dependant. The new module systems are also trying to address some operator issues. Old but relevant review: Currently my favorite mobile game. Their art is great, all the characters are stylish and have their own drip. The operator design in terms of gameplay is interesting, and diverse. Every tier of operator (from 1* to 6*) is useful in some way.

Ive been playing this game everyday over two years and it has been a wonderful experience. Ive spent more money than I originally thought I would but I never felt like I NEEDED to. I bought stuff because I wanted to. Autobattle takes part in the game alot but you have to get 3stars in a level before you can do that so youre not just watching the game entirely. The beginning is rough but play casually for awhile and itll get alot smoother.

Story rich, high production tower defense game with a consistent English dub, decent summon rates, and a simple but pleasing lofi techno soundtrack. Main issue so far is the painful difficulty spikes in certain missions that leave me feeling angry instead of triumphant if I beat them. This happens as early as chapter 2, with mobs of high defense flying enemies and huge waves of ground units that easily overwhelm your defense operators, even when upgraded - and it only gets harder from there.
