Toy Defense 2 — Tower Defense

It’s better than other Tower Defense games. It’s a fun look without being cartoonish the level-up skills are reasonably priced and awarded by experience. I haven’t had to spend real money on it yet to stay interested. It still has its share of frustrations when a random wave of attackers is suddenly invincible under artillery fire or moves at 3x the speed of previous units. I think the limited positions to locate your trips is a good means of skill testing and prevents the madness of unlimited decisions. Main complaint is that the super powers on the right side get accidentally selected too often. I hit the healing power when I’m trying to pause or fast forward, and will snag the home defense bombs when I try to pinch-zoom.

I was pleasantly surprised that this isn't just another "me too" tower defense game. It's got some unique elements that I find truly enjoyable, and requires some tactical decisions like choosing ground vs air defense and figuring out which upgrades are worth your hard-earned cash. About that cash... I agree the later/mid rounds have some ridiculously resilient enemy soldiers or floods of impossible-to-kill aircraft that make things a little frustrating, but I just move on and play a different scenario, earn more cash and come back to it. I have not spent a penny on this game and I'm nowhere near stymied yet. As for the unique features, I particularly like the commanders that you level up and can bring with you regardless of the faction you're currently playing. This allows me to max out Russian gear, assign commanders to them, and use that powerful gear in a British or USA scenario. I recommend you try this game if you like the genre. It's free to try, after all.

I really like the game. Of course I really liked TD1, also. But this version is way more frustrating. Enemy soldiers that won’t die—really? My artillery sitting there while the tanks roll by—seriously? And I can only put certain towers in certain locations—Argh! Not to mention I spend more $ repairing the towers instead on upgrading them. Keep the new features, let me put whatever tower I want in the designated spots (I don’t need 4 infantry and one flame-thrower at the entrance to my base, I also need an artillery and a anti-aircraft there, but you can’t put them there!), and the toy soldiers should die after being hit 50+ times, then I would give 5 stars and might even spend money in the game. Right now, it just seems like a one-sided money grab.

I played the game for a little over a week and at first it was fun winning maps with 3 medals (the highest rank you can achieve and gives the most rewards) and upgrading my towers as well as my commanders. Then the game started getting more difficult and I would only get 2 medals on missions. Then only down to 1. I would earn more more stars to upgrade my units and commanders more and try to redo some missions I only got 2 medals on to find out I can still only get 2 medals. That’s when it finally hit me that skill has little to do with this game, it’s all about unlocking upgrades which of course you can do for free, but obviously they heavily steer you towards buying the upgrades. I understand the developers have to make money but this is a bit much. There are 5 campaigns and I have completed at most 20% of each campaign and I have almost hit a brick wall. Sure I can maybe get a small reward here and there grabbing some 1 and 2 medal wins (you can’t earn more upgrades finishing the same map again unless you win with a higher medal count) but now the upgrades are costing absurd amounts of 8000+ stars for one upgrade and I get between 200 and 500 stars for each map. Why can’t they just base the game off skill and slap a price tag on the game?

Game runs well on my iPhone 6P..I like to play But at some point they will start asking for $ to buy stuff for the game.. there r some levels that I can't pass or have not been able to pass yet without spending$ to do so. I'm not going to spend $ so I will stop playing when I run out of games I can win.. I'm just looking for a Tank game that does not want $. Update.. still wants $ to play everyday.. can’t pay everyday without paying $... daily rewards should be greater to help overcome this... I know have to get a weeks worth of daily rewards to improve my army to win next challenge... then wait another week... almost done with the game as I cannot beat anymore levels without paying $ or waiting a week to gather daily rewards to gain enough in game credits to upgrade army
