iPad Tower Dwellers - [Unit Crafting - Micromanaging - Tower Defence]

Right now, the only thing holding me back is space! I really need to stop hoarding and make space to buy and play this game! I can't possibly overlook it with all of the positive feedback it is getting here!

 

I too think of all the games I've played on my ipad since April 2010 this is the one with both

The most polish and most fun
AND
Least traction

I think the price point is awesome. No IAP I Bought it for that reason. I too saw it on TouchArcade, but through the home page on the app, under Hot New Games. And it's still on that list. So something is trending it.

Edit: you might want to get a promo code to Eli Hodapp, Eric Ford, and Brad Nicholson on TouchArcade. They like TD games

 

4 star review!

 

hube_eccgames, thought about price... it's a bit high for new app. KR HD costs $2.99, but it is the hit in tower defence category.

No doubt, game is worth it, but that's I know bcoz I've played them. Maybe a lot of people in doubt whether or not to buy.

No IAP isn't the reason. I completed KR w/o any IAP.

 

Archers are always the ones to mess things up for me

 

I've tried a few times but can't for the life of me stop any sneaking past, I'm the type to quit when I see one get past and retry lol, it's funny because I completed Kingdom Rush and Pirates on the hardest difficulties but can't pass this on easy, lol.

I'm gonna keep trying, is it best to have pure blacksmith defense or is it best to mix?

If any devs read this maybe a stat page detailing gains from each upgrade path would be a nice bit more detail to add, and to also help noobs like me decide which one would be the best to take lol.

 

Thanks for your reply, I didn't see it but I'll check it out shortly.

The invisible plains, it's one of the first, maybe I just didn't pick the right upgrades but I seem to always get overrun, I did the other 2 on hard but this one is proving more tricky,
I tend to build all my defenses in choke points and bunching them all up which may be why I'm not doing so good in this one.

 

The archers are so weak compared to the alchemists, I switched all my archers for them and won with no trouble at all, first 3 levels done on hard for some extra upgrade points.

 

Just bought this. Looking forward to some TD action this weekend.

 

I love this game, the combinations of support buildings and the variety of units makes for some great strategy. Plus it's not a cakewalk, good job developer.

 

Totally agree with that list this is a great game and definitely belongs among them (Pirate Legends is my personal favorite - there's a guy that calls a Shark with ham!). The sad thing is I'm sure that this game will struggle to make costs back, even though it is excellent.

1. It's paid and unfortunately at a slightly too high price point ($4) at launch. There's just not enough people downloading paid games, if that title is not a known IP. $1-$2 is the max a paid app can charge at launch to avoid being ignored. It's too late now to price down and make a meaningful difference.

2. Its a TD! That genre is pretty popular in places like TA but in the wider mobile world the genre is a tiny fraction compared to runners, slots, match3, farming...etc. It's difficult to make serious numbers unless you have the cross-platform fans like KR or FR.

Imho the developer will need to be very generous if we are to see new levels... that's the sad truth of the appstore. Without IAP this game may do around 8-20k paid downloads over 6 months. Which will not be enough to justify investing in serious expansions. That sucks as the devs are clearly talented and innovating in some nice areas.

All the guys saying yeah no IAP are basically shooting the dev in the foot. You're the vocal minority on a super casual platform that mostly tolerates fair IAP implementation.

 

Love the game, if there is to be any IAP (which I would support purely in the interest of seeing the game expanded) I would suggest a Kingdom Rush-type IAP model. Hopefully this game does well enough without it, but we all know how the App Store works.

 

This game has a lot of potential. Imagine adding a new house (sword, archer, mage, how about spear/lance?), think of all the new characters it can add to the game. Not to mention, it is a fun game. I instantly bought the game to support the Dev. I also agree the price is high, probably 1.99 is the best price for people to not ignore it.

In anyway, I did my part to support the Dev. If they can continue to support the game then great. If not, the enjoyment I had playing the game is well worth, and probably more, than my 4 bucks.
