HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (15 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes30%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The fighting had an odd freeze where units won't attack, nor do they get attacked, and they have to be manually moved to trigger the game.
★★★★★ I love this game but crash all the time please bug fix xoxo
★★★★★ However, it crashed a dozen times on me so far and crashes every time on the helix outpost.
Price and subscription27%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Deleted after a couple of levels, waste of money.
★★★★★ This game copied everything from IRON HIDE games, 0 star for creativity
★★★★★ I don't recommend wasting ur money on this game.
Bugs, things not working20%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ After almost every level it bugs you to rate the app.
★★★★★ Randomly stops accepting commands so all of a sudden you can't move troops or cast spells, even pause. Then 30-40 seconds later touch input is restored with your army decimated. What a piece of junk. Happens at least…
★★★★★ I love this game but crash all the time please bug fix xoxo
Slow, laggy, battery13%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EASY also the fighters are so slow and dumb, had to control as well, I click on them to move then I click to attack and they just move there and sit...
★★★★★ So slow moving, and so little strategy to actually utilize.
★★★★★ It's hard to play through a level when it starts to lag and then the app crashes.
Lost data, sync, backup10%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Deleted after a couple of levels, waste of money.
★★★★★ it looks amazing and has beautiful graphics and the thought behind the game is great however the gameplay is bull, I played a hard map and it was really easy then I played an easy and normal one and I lost to them...
★★★★★ Went and bought the paladin unit and lost a level then it kicked me out of the app and told me I had to buy it again what the heck you practically stole money from me😡😤😖
Worse after an update7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's baffling why this hasn't been updated ye
★★★★★ It's been 2 years since the last update on this game?
Missing features7%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ There's no way to turn it off other than to write a review.
★★★★★ Boss fights are hard only b/c they can one shot none heavy armor types. Warning area is not accurate (much bigger than displayed). Old class type become useless once advanced version is unlocked.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Wish there was more to enjoy!! 5★, Jan 20, 2022
  • The level design is a bit less engaging (I wish I could zoom out!) but definitely serviceable. 5★, Aug 23, 2021
  • I wish that you could move the hero you can move every one else but the hero but so far it's a great game and it plays very well 5★, Apr 1, 2020
  • The fact that the art style is so good fascinates me, but i wish there was a fast forward button because the gameplay is slower than I thought 5★, Apr 1, 2020
  • I would love to have a way to make warrior classes stay in one position but other than that it was great! 5★, Mar 30, 2020
  • A quick fix would be to add a pause menu so that you can actually issue commands. 3★, Jul 22, 2017
  • I only wish you could pause during battles to give orders, instead of just having to do it all mid-fight. 5★, Jul 1, 2017
  • Remind me of KingdomRush, really wish they had a endless mode so I could upgrade all units and see how I survive 5★, Jun 11, 2017

Fun, addictive41%

181 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Really well done. I settled on paladin/cleric early for easier management However the game is just too short! Let us buy new maps with 20 new levels for $3-5
★★★★★ Wish there was more to enjoy!!
★★★★★ You can't bring new units to previous missions - makes doing older missions more of a chore than enjoyment, and takes away the fun of the challenge (can't use new "cards" on hard-mode either).
Easy to use8%

35 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Having the main target be the summoner who must be protected by her own summoned warriors is such a simple yet clever change that makes the entire entire experience so unique compared to all other tower defence games I…
★★★★★ From the charming art style and simple mechanics to the interesting challenges the enemies present, this game is a classic for anyone in my opinion!
★★★★★ Sometimes it's a little too hectic, and even on my large phone screen it's easy to poke the wrong unit during a fracas leading to some minor frustration, but it mostly works well.
Looks great6%

28 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The character design definitely has its own style though, and some of the units are downright adorable.
★★★★★ However, there are still some points need to change/improve: - As many players complain, the UI is too small.
★★★★★ I like the game it's very clean.
Worth the money4%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Since I got this game for free, I bought the bundle just to support the dev instead.
★★★★★ Some enemies are really cheap, like the scorpion and it has way too much health.
★★★★★ I buy it again (this time for free due to already purchasing it) but the game crashes once more.
Fast2%

9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The fact that the art style is so good fascinates me, but i wish there was a fast forward button because the gameplay is slower than I thought
★★★★★ Unfortunately the fast-paced nature of combat and the auto-movement of the summons make it so there's very little actual strategy involved beyond summoning the units - the game tries to claim that positioning them is…
★★★★★ This game is fun and an instant classic.

UI is way too small on newer iPhones

Text on UI is barely readable. Don’t buy until this is addressed

Fun game

Really well done. I settled on paladin/cleric early for easier management However the game is just too short! Let us buy new maps with 20 new levels for $3-5

★★★★★Mar 11, 2023
Marvelous

An ingenious spin on the traditional tower defence game. Having the main target be the summoner who must be protected by her own summoned warriors is such a simple yet clever change that makes the entire entire experience so unique compared to all other tower defence games I have played in past. Tiny Guardians is well worth your time and investment. If your into tower defence, you’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised.

★★★★★Mar 2, 2022
Great but buggy

I love the game and the art style but the game crashes for me every couple of levels

★★★★★Feb 14, 2022
Good game

Fun. Similar to KingdomRush. Characters are fun. Need the words to be bigger where the names of thr characters are, etc. They are so tiny and i have an iPhone 11 pro Max.

★★★★★Jan 20, 2022
Love it!

Wish there was more to enjoy!!
