Fun game, but a couple flaws
Mon Feb 17 2025 Silvernight5768I got this game a couple months ago, and I’ve been enjoying it ever since. I am currently on chapter 6 wave 29. I see what people say about the paywall, but this game is worth the time to get over it. Some of the rebalancing changes in the new update made the game much better. However, it has one issue: Ads. While it doesn’t force ads on you(thank god), they have broken their way into almost every aspect of the game. want X2 mining speed? Ad. Want to open the artifact chest? Ad. The slime shop partially counterbalances this issue, making the game more fun. Because of this, I feel the slime shop(currently lvl 2) should be available in tower of the wise lvl 1, and tower of elements(currently lvl 1) should be moved to tower of the wise lvl 2.
Scammy mechanics
Mon Sep 30 2024 BigPMoneyHandsThis game’s mechanics are incredibly frustrating and feel designed to push players into spending money. I’m stuck in a battle on hard mode, level 10, against an enemy with life regeneration. My character has enough regeneration and shielding to avoid being killed, but not enough damage to win. We’re locked in a stalemate, which feels like a deliberate design flaw to create paywalls and grindy mechanics.
I spend 12 hours a day farming, using a second phone to run the game at my highest difficulty. Despite weeks of effort, I’m still stuck on level 4 in normal mode and level 1 in hard mode. I’ve purchased bonuses, reset my stats twice to optimize my build, and carefully balanced damage, survival, and crowd control stats. I’ve maxed out resistances, dodge, crit chance, mushrooms for area damage, splash, and multi-shot abilities—yet I’m still not progressing. Even after earning 125,000 gold in about 40-60 minutes, several times a day, the grind is unbearable.
At this point, the game feels less like a game and more like waiting for a chance to actually play. The pace is excruciatingly slow, even after removing ads, and it’s clear that spending money is the only way to make any real progress. Sadly, what could be a fun experience is ruined by the pay-to-play mechanics, turning it into a frustrating, tedious slog. Not recommended!
bad UI, lack of content, need to rebalance progression
Thu Jul 25 2024 okthnxThis game is cute for the first couple of days. However the UI in game is really clunky and janky to navigate across different pages, I have spent on the game to help with making gameplay tolerable (removed ads and x5 speed). despite this the progression in the slime village is far too slow as the drop rate for stones to upgrade is insufferably low (1-3 per level if you're lucky, sometimes none at all). with the x5 speed multiplier grinding one chapter for 1-3 stones is at least 10 minutes. for context you need upwards of 100 to upgrade ONE of several buildings. even after this you will still hit a wall as any slime not bought with $20 will not let you successfully pass chapter 9 unless you basically max out every skill which could take months of heavy play depending on gear RNG (which is also comically low). outside of actively grinding the afk rewards are limited to 8 hours and this amount does not allow for meaningful progression. The most successful way to enjoy this game is to go afk permanently
Enjoyable, but concerning bugs
Wed Aug 14 2024 BookEmDanno00I’ll start off by saying that I have purchased a few things, so I’m not just complaining about a free game. I paid for the 5x battle speed forever, I paid to always skip ads without watching them, and I paid for 3x mining speed. I have supported the developers. My main issue is with a bug, which hopefully isn’t intentional. When you complete a battle, it shows your rewards, which you can either collect or watch an ad for 1.5x rewards. It DOES NOT say that the 1.5x only applies to some rewards and not others. Specifically, it DOES NOT apply to experience shards or magic crystals, both of which you need a lot of. You get a good amount of experience shards generally, but magic crystals are more rare, so getting 1.5x would be great. This makes me wonder what other things the game says you might be getting that you don’t actually get. This should be patched immediately, because it is dishonest and misrepresenting what’s going on.
Pretty fun game, but has gaps
Sat Mar 01 2025 Split3This is a good take on castle defense with a different twist. The major problem is that large portions are pay to win. For instance, to get any (except one) slime that is SS rated costs money. There is no other way to get these slimes except to pay which is bogus.
Also you better be prepared to watch a LOT of ads for additional benefits. While you can eventually watch enough ads to purchase some upgrades you will still be watching a lot of ads to try and advance only to find that you are pretty much stuck for weeks on end to level up your slime (unless you pay for the better slimes) to beat levels.
The game company seems a bit too greedy on getting people to pay. They would do better by awarding people more that will grind and watch ads, but having a pay only tier for some slimes at $32 is crazy.
Addicting but a couple questions
Fri Aug 09 2024 and im just getting startedSo this game has been super fun for me so far. I’m at chapter 9. I love spending my gems on slimes and gear but I had a couple of questions. Given that I’ve spent some money on the game, now I’ve unlocked the slime shop with ad tokens. My question is does the gameplay x3 boost stack with the x5 I bought with money?
Same thing for mining boost. And what does resetting my talents for $7 do? Is it like new game plus for my talents or just a refund incase I spent my gold coins badly? Other than that I’ve had a great time. Wish magic crystals weren’t so rare aswell. I grind constantly to only get like 1-3 crystals every 11mins on chapter 8. Still love the game tho
Fun but Dangerous
Fri Jan 10 2025 Master YensidThe game mechanics here are fun and are often satisfying. There are many cool ways to upgrade your slimes and make them more powerful. That being said, if you don’t spend any money on this game, you will hit multiple, major progression walls that will take a significant amount of time and effort to overcome. For those of you with deep pockets, the game makes it possible for you to spend dozens or hundreds of dollars on pretty much any resource you want, which is likely advertised as convenience but is frankly quite predatory. Unfortunately, spending amounts like $25 will not guarantee any major progress for you. I enjoy playing this game, but it’s clear to me that the app is trying its hardest to get me to constantly spend money.
Fix Needed On Dragons Lair
Tue Apr 22 2025 BarbercjToday, thanks to the Island Treasure event, I had a lot of tickets to use on the Dragons Lair event dungeon. I had stopped doing this dungeon early on because I noticed that the rewards were broken and figured you guys would fix it. Unfortunately despite multiple updates, it doesn’t look like you have.
Today I ran from levels 23 to 33 and took the time to record 2 videos of the completion of each level and the rewards received to show you guys the issue. Only purple gems and refinement stones ever get rewarded despite all the other ones having decent percentages. Not once since doing this dungeon have I received Star Essence, Epic Artifact Shards, or Legendary Artifact Shards or Mythic Artifact shards. Now I get not getting legendary or mythic, as they have low percentages.
But at along the way, starting at 66% and ending at 72% chance, not getting Star Essence a single time represents a broken system. The maths not mathing.
Again I have videos showing this if you’d like to review.
Great game, where is the community?
Sat Jun 08 2024 TekwhatThis game has been pretty fun so far. Almost cleared world 5 after struggling in world 4 for so long. To save time I payed to remove ads, which is optional, but I wanted to support the devs. I have no idea if I have been using my upgrades optimally, but it seems that with time you can max most upgrades. I have quite a few maxed, or close to maxed, but was this wise? Where is the discord, reddit, and wiki? What’s the most optimal build, so many questions. I wish there was someone with enough gumption to create a space for us to share our findings. Maybe I’ll start a reddit, but we need a discord!
Not terrible
Wed May 28 2025 Melley666Moderately fun game as long as you don’t mind watching a million ads. I mainly play this while playing another game on computer or Xbox. Can basically just tap occasionally when there is a break in the other game. So far I’ve unlocked 9 characters using in game currency. There are 2 more characters I can unlock using in game currency that I can’t afford yet. There are 7 others that require cash. Of these, 5 cost $32 each. Imagine paying $32 for one weapon in the newest CoD installment. Imagine paying $160 for a mediocre mobile game. I bought Doom Dark Ages Ultimate Edition for $99. Is this game $60 better than any offering in the Doom catalog? Absolutely not. Mobile gaming is insane.
