Tower Breaker - Hack & Slash

This is a really solid game. The controls are simple and responsive, and gameplay hardly feels random. I haven’t spent a dime and am making my way up the fourth tower and am rank III in pvp. Sure pvp is unbalanced because sometimes you just match against someone who’s paid more money than you but in my experience if you go in with solid gear and dont start pvp until you’re at least near the top of the first tower and have a good weapon the rewards are well worth it. It’s basically necessary to watch an ad for the 10 minute x3 attack speed buff, but I don’t mind it since you normally play for about 10 minutes anyways. There’s some replayability in towers you’ve cleared previously by farming bosses for shield and armor drops, but you’re mostly just going to be farming to level up your lower tier gear youre not wearing for passive devil power. It’s repetitive but not all bad, clearing a boss doesn’t take too long and it feels rewarding to go back to a level youve struggled with and just annihilate the boss. My question though, what’s up with the Killer ability level? When I level it up, the trigger rate doesn’t actually increase on screen. This may be a GUI bug, a semantic/logical bug, or maybe the level upgrade does something that’s not obvious. Either way, I’m enjoying the game without feeling pressured to pay so far, which is a huge compliment considering most FTP games are just gambling simulators.

This game is really fun. I even paid money on it to remove ads. My one problem is I’ve invested money in the game and I’m playing it regularly only to have never gotten even one epic weapon. I know I could spend more money and buy one, but that seems kind of unfair. I’ve played countless other games, maybe in the thousand range. This game has my attention because it reminds me of games I played when I was younger on the original Nintendo. The concept and gameplay is good. I wouldn’t change too much, I’m just really disappointed that with the multiple thousand chests I’ve opened and the replaying the bosses so many times, I have yet to get a single epic weapon. I’m hesitant to spend any more money on this game because of the frustration of the weapons. If I do manage to get a good weapon, I’d have to purchase red souls to raise the level. I think the really good armors and epic weapons are a little TOO difficult to obtain. Maybe make an achievement list or guild or something besides spend money to obtain these items? Maybe put in a daily log in to help with this or something. Also, I haven’t noticed a developer response in any of these comments. Maybe let them know your active? Lol

I was going to give this a 5 star rating then I noticed a few things that got aggravating so then I was going to give it a 4 star but then I played pvp and that’s what brought it down to a 3 star. First off it is IMPOSSIBLE to get better shields and armor at a lower level of the game. No matter how hard I try I always get weapon chests and I already have an amazing weapon. Due to not being able to get a better shield my shield cooldown is absolute garbage. I am on floor 41 of the first tower and it is impossible to beat floor 50 because my shield cooldown is so slow. Either buff the shield cooldown or make it easier to get new shields at lower levels. Second PVP is very unbalanced and I mean VERY unbalanced. I tried doing pvp and in my first round I got matched up with someone that had a TON of good items. This person must have atleast been past the first tower or almost past the first tower. Then in my second round it was the same thing a dude with a ton of good stuff. Not only that but both these players had 4 hearts when I had 3. In order to have good pvp and a pvp that people will come back to will need to be balanced and the pvp for this game just isn’t. This game is fun and it has lots of potential but the things I just stated really ruined it for me.

This game, is actually not that bad, as said on the title of this review. It’s really fun but the ads are quite annoying, and hopefully this game will get popular enough so that you guys might be able to remove the ads that show up every time we die in the towers. The options button should be called options, not option, it’s just makes sense since there’s more than one option in the list and calling it just option doesn't make sense. It’s like calling bee when there are more than one bee. Anyways below the option are the daily mission, of course same thing with the options problem it should be called daily missions, as in plural instead of being in singular. And inside the daily missions tab I saw something that amazed me, one of the missions where called “clibm tower” I was shocked to see this typo. Of course this was just a small thing, but it was irritating for me to see. But that’s all for now, the sprites are beautiful and the games style is original in my eyes but has some limitations. So in conclusion the game has some grammar issues but other than that it is very good and I recommend it for anyone who likes to feel like an absolute boss. Thanks for reading and have a great day/night.

Overall this is a fun game that you don’t need to spend money on, unless you’re looking to level up a weapon as red souls can’t be obtained through gameplay. To start, I’m on the third tower as I’m writing this review, so I have invested a good amount of time in the game. The game does a poor job explaining the mechanics aside from gameplay. For instance, the reforge mechanic isn’t explained at all and I’ve only seemed to worsen my weapons when using it. There isn’t a list of what each weapon ability does, so you need to memorize. The game also doesn’t explain how to work around certain mechanics, such as the barriers projected from the towers, or the explosive enemies from the third tower. I still don’t know how to deal with the latter, and I honestly will reset the tower if the first floor is an explosive enemy. There isn’t a weapon rarity chart, so I don’t know how good or bad my luck is, and devil power isn’t explained well either. It’s grind-heavy for sure, but it’s a manageable game. If the developers added just a few more instructional notes or tuned down certain enemies, the game would be much better.
