Idle Monster TD

Great game, super addicting! It brings in strategic elements as well as the game is never just extremely tough in one part of the game like most other tower defenses but it just alway has this fluid motion to it, you’ll never get stuck in one place for too long which is why the game is so addicting. It also doesn’t just take everything in the game from other similar games because it has tons and tons of original content for hours of fun every day. Thank you for creating such a great game!

This game is cool in theory, and would be in practice, however there’s a problem that makes gameplay really difficult. Aside from the tournament timer, timers don’t countdown. Your spells/drone swarm/cargo carrier don’t refresh when you’re not in the game. This becomes a bit problematic since this is an idle game, a game that you don’t really need to have open all the time. The game also doesn’t progress while you are not in it. Waves of robots come, but if you’re not in the game, you don't go on to the next wave, you just sit there and collect money, which isn’t much in earlier waves. Overall i want to like this game. It’s really easy to not pay money, and if you do spend a little bit it can give a pretty good edge over the idle part of the game. However with the game not really working without you having the game open, it loses the “Idle” part of its name.

I’m not a fan of the pay to win mechanics with the tournaments , but as for the base game it’s fantastic. I haven’t had an add shoved in my face unless I choose, gems are easy enough to come by that you don’t need to buy them, gold takes a while to accumulate once you get into the 500’s but gold control is the difficulty spike. Once your daily bonuses start coming in at higher amounts you’re able to make some headway though. 5/5 fun game for free.

It’ll set you back $49 to unlock all boosts (double speed, double gold, etc). Every single aspect of the game is broken down and can be enhanced by a fee whether by real money or gems. To be nickel and dimed like this (in an idle game no less) is not fun. Which is a shame because the game itself can be fun. To charge this much is a slap in the face to AAA developers. Why spend $49 + unlimited on gems when you could spend $50 on something like The Last of Us 2? Are the devs valuing this little idle game the same as that? I sure as hell wouldn’t.

So apparently there’s several places within the game to upgrade game speed. In fact I was pretty bummed to see that after realizing I could have bought a much more cost effective package. Either way, I purchased the permanent game speed increase in the settings section of the game (not realizing there were different ways to purchase this upgrade in a different section of the game menu). But in that section it said $9.99 for 2x game speed and 500 gems. Now either that means it was 500 gems OR $9.99 and i didn’t realize that (very badly marked) or I didn’t get my gems. Either is possible. Either way is a huge bummer considering I now missed out on other package deals where I could have gotten more for less because you allow people who just got the game to find multiple ways to purchase without knowing it. Happy to update the rating when and if this is resolved. The game is a fun version of a standard idler.
