Idle Defense: Dark Forest

Honestly, a game with a large amount of potential, yes there are bugs, yes this game is a bit unfinished/unpolished for all the small inconveniences, but it is a good game that is very easy to understand and play and the difficulty scales with the levels. I've been playing casually a few days and I have not had 1 forced ad, you can watch an ad if you want spare rewards but there arnt forced ads like every other free game, recommended

I was hopeful, but the game suffers from some bad lag issues. I found references to this issue that are over a year old. There are other bugs where banner.description is displayed instead of the actual description. This should be easy to fix. At the time of writing this, the last update was around 10 months ago so I doubt anything else is going to get fixed. 2 stars as it was entertaining, but given that development seems to have stopped and the existing bugs are probably not going to get fixed.

It's a good game but once you reach chapter 15 in-game, it appears the game stutters horribly because there is too much going on. As soon as the enemies spawn in, it lags. As soon as the turrets start firing, it lags. It worked flawlessly early game. I have a brand new phone too so it can't be my device. Will update rating if it gets fixed, but for now it's unplayable.

Love the game but I notice a few issues. The longer the game runs the worse it performs, closing and reopening the app fixes for it a while. Also the wheel prizes are super rigged. Over 500 spins and I only get gold, sometimes large gold reward mostly small gold reward. Would like to see some balancing there. Other than that I love this game. Really fun to pass the time. Edit : I did get a key from the wheel so the odds are not zero, would still like to see some changes here.

Fun game but too monetized. You basically have to watch an ad every 30 seconds to play for free successfully, and if you ever get the bug where the ads no longer load (you get a message which says "failed to get ads. Use diamonds instead"), the game becomes basically unplayable. This is where I'm at and I'll try the game once a day for a week before I quit it entirely due to this problem. I enjoyed playing this for the first 8 hours until this started happening.

I like the gameplay and the storyline. I cannot get past lvl 32 because the game keeps crashing. Made sure it was updated and even on low graphics, still crashes. I know it's new, hopefully the developers can fix this bug because I would like to keep going. Edit"" After told to delete and re download the game. My progress was saved but all of the towers I had disappeared. It seems less laggy now but it took a while to catch back up to where I was...

Nice idle game. However, there are 2 issues I have with the game. First, the rummage spins only ever lands on one of two options(lowest rewards), out of a possible 8, odds of landing on anything else is significantly lower. Second, the promise of getting between 1-100 diamonds for watching ads is false, you only ever get up to 10. Again, the odds of getting more than 10 is significantly lower.

This is a nice simple idle game. If your looking for a deep game with a lot of content, look elsewhere. This game has a few big issues. Even on the low graphic settings the game lags after a while. There are a lot of grammatical and textual errors - for instance "Evolve" is used in many places to describe several different mechanics, leading to a lot of confusion. Can't write a review without mentioning ads. There are a lot of ads, but you only have to watch them if you want the cool stuff.

I thought this would be a standard idle tower defence game, but like most other mobile games, it is plagued with ads that you are required to watch or you won't get any progress. Want to get a new character? Ad. Just finished a wave? Watch an ad to double rewards or wait 5 seconds for it to go away. No option to just skip this, you need to go through having the option to watch an ad every 5 seconds. Uninstalling and not going anywhere near again.

As it is, the game is roughly 80% watching ads, 20% actual gameplay. The core mechanics are fine for a tower defense, but the balance is set up so that if you don't watch ads, you'll get nowhere with the level progression. Towers also appear to get increasingly more expensive, without any guide to what combinations make what towers. The solution, of course, is to watch more ads to generate gold and supplies. There's a summoning system as advertised, but that too is tedious and requires ads.

I'm sure the game is very fun, given that I could actually play it. this is the only game I have come across that seems to not be optimized, as as soon as I boot up the game it crashes google play, followed by the game freezing, Samsung keyboard crashing, system ui crashing, and basically just hard crashes your phone. I'm very disappointed that I wasnt able to even play after multiple attempts.

fun game. Granted it's fairly ad heavy, however the rewards are worth it. I've been playing for almost 2 weeks now and have advanced to stage 17, I haven't had to spend money on the game just watched some ads while afk. The extreme advancement of mob power is a bit difficult at times, and the spells are "meh" at best not really worth using except for quests But leaving the game for a few hours makes a difference. It'd be nice if the map changed thou, gets very repetitive. Some lag at higher lvls

First, the tutorial says to build and it seemed simple enough. Then when gameplay starts, the submenu changes without explanation. There's a long ad for EVERY "bonus". And they even have a gift box show up during the battle which is yet another ad for a bonus. So I didn't even finish the first wave and uninstalled. Too many interruptions. Not enough intuitive interface.

Downloaded the app since do thought it looked like a nice game. Opened it and looked through the cut scene before the tutorial. But when the game actually started, all I saw was a black background. I could press things and I could pick the buttons on the bottom row, I could even see the amount of money and gems I had. I dont know how this happened but it isn't making much sense.

Starts getting really annoying. I've been playing a few days now and the lag in the game starts to become unbearable once you start getting more towers. I constantly need to restart the app to get good performance, even with low settings. I'm at the point where I can barely pass 1 level without restarting the game, which when you close the game you restart at the first stage of the level. This issue needs to be fixed immediately as it makes the game unplayable and unenjoyable.

Basic tower defence and not an adventure game. Not a true idle game, no advancing while logged off. There is no need to lower your graphics to reduce lag. The code does not properly manage memory. When it slows down you have to close the app. Of course then you lose your progress. Holy adds Batman. I spent 5 hours straight to see if I could claim all the adds for the day...nope. Adds are 30 seconds. You can watch two at a time but each add has a 60 second cooldown before you can watch another one. If you want to know a tower's DPS you have to guess. It lacks details descriptions and some of the text is hard to read and the UI can be challenging. This would be one star if I didn't slightly enjoy playing.

Screw this game and screw the adds. They are intrusive and max out the volume on my phone while I had it on mute! I don't care if you have a button to turn that off because the moment you try to turn off volume it freezes the ad and forces you to quit the game. Not going to waste my time further if these bugs haven't bothered to be fixed in all this time!

Your game is buggy as a hell. Lets not even start with the crashes that happen just about anytime you run an ad, which are way to frequent compared to most similar games that actually work. The biggest bug is the black screen. The UI loads 100% but the playing field is completely black, and the game is still playable. If you dont even need to see the game to play it whats the point. Not worth the download in its current state.

Pretty cool for a while. I wouldn't discourage any1 from trying it. Game has some interesting twists on the TD/Idle genre. Eventually, though, the game becomes unplayable due to lag. I'm currently getting about 1 frame/5 seconds on a gaming PC. And no, turning down graphic settings, which only removes the floating dmg numbers, does nothing to improve things. Dev needs to work on his programming techniques, becuz this game does not have the size, scope, or aesthetics to warrant such performance.

Games that beg you for reviews lose my respect, but this one is the lowest of lows. It popped up a window that shows 5 stars and says to rate it. I expected it to give me a X button to click out of it, but it didn't have one. So, I clicked it hoping it would ask you before taking you. Nope. MANDATORY EXITING OF THE APP! It also has ads that are really annoying but aren't too annoying, but ads feel mandatory. If you want to force me to watch ads, don't act like they aren't mandatory.

This game is really fun for starters, the towers are fun, finding all the upgrade paths, the game is simple at it's core, and the reset mechanic isn't confusing or complicated. However few things holding this back from 5*. There becomes a very bad lag issue after you play for around 40ish mins in later chapters, the reset mechanic feels very highly taxed, you get so little unless you spend gems to double it. Third, the spells feel very underwhelming at best, no real reason to play and spam them.

First; I agree it isn't a *true* idle game. When you are offline, there is no advancement. However, you do continue to get money which is nice. Currently there doesn't seem to be a cap on how long you collect offline earnings for. But haven't really looked into it. It is a very simple merge/tower defense game. You buy towers, place them on plots that you've purchased, level towers and then merge them with another same level tower to evolve them. Graphics are cute. The demons are a nice touch, but not a unique idea. Ads are well.. just like any other game out there. Not horrible.

The game is fun and all but seriously there needs to be some new content... another upgrade amount, pressing the button thousands of times to upgrade things is tiring... Also a new map layout would be nice as well. :) as well as leaderboards/achievements because it says they are coming soon but it has said that since I downloaded the game last year. And it would help if when I bought extra turrets/defenses if I could put them straight to my pack. Thank you!!

Very buggy. Updates did nothing other than changing the background. Full of ads to progress and get items. It became pay to win from the moment you start. Bugs make you wish you never invested in this game. The spinning wheel will always give you lousiest outcome. Monsters becomes too powerful too fast. Makes you restart many times and then face bugs again and again. Dont download. Better game out there

Game Freezes. Shuts down when using Skills to fast. Graphic overload when to many monsters on screen. Resets your Level progress which is not cool. And AD usage for boosts freezes/crashes game to. Fix The Bugs please. And make it keep your level progress. Cause if i want to shut it down and do something. I dont want to have to redo every sub stage over just to get to a boss.

NOT an idle game! Videos everywhere, if you miss them you won't get anywhere. Everything gets gradually more expensive, and at certain points you'll need to tap the SKILL button like a maniac because the towers are too weak. The sounds are toggled together, no way of turning off the BGM only. I've been playing for an hour and I'm already tired. This game is not worth the yime and taps.
