Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Playing by Appointment reported on Aug 12, 2024
There are monsters that can be obtained by collecting specific stones, which only appear in a 3-4 days window. Also, there are —relatively— big rewards for watching ads daily (only 1 per day)
Grinding reported on Aug 12, 2024
There are massive barriers whom cannot be passed without the best monsters, which are obtained by massive grinding, watching ads or paying
Advertisements reported on Aug 12, 2024
Optional and not really tricky, but yeah, it helps to reduce grinding significantly
Premium Currency reported on Aug 12, 2024
Almost any currency in the game can be bought with real money
Pay to Win reported on Aug 12, 2024
You can buy most game currencies, which higher greatly your chances of climbing through the game
Wait To Play reported on Aug 12, 2024
The best way to obtain money is to wait outside from the game: it generates coins for every minute you are out
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Aug 12, 2024
Every currency except from coins are used for lootboxes, which are the ones who give you monsters
Power Creep reported on Aug 12, 2024
Half of monsters are useless, and you can spend lots of money on them before you realize. The same goes for many upgrades
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Aug 12, 2024
The monitor guy appears sometimes between waves. If you decline his offer (watch an ad in exchange for currencies), this guy will appear sad and defeated while he walks out

Report a Dark Pattern
The great and powerful summoner has broken into the king’s castle and stolen the royaltreasure! You take the loot back to your lair, but the king has sounded the alarm and his endless
army of heroes is on the way to steal it back! It’s time to ready your defences!
In this idle TD game, you have to strategically place your towers and cast powerful spells to
defend against endless waves of the kingdom’s mightiest heroes. Defend your stolen loot against
a variety of do-gooding heroes like the lowly peasant, axe-wielding lumberjack, ice mage and the
elite king’s knight – you don’t want to mess with him!
SUMMON MONSTERS & MINIONS TO FIGHT THE KING’S ARMY!
Earn magic orbs for defeating waves of armies - use them to power the summoner’s portal to call
forth a variety of monsters, creeps and minions to aid your defense. Recruit the common slimes,
slimey and grimey, the rare and absurdly cute hellhound mocha, or Teddy – the epic teddy bear
with superhuman strength. With dozens of creatures to call to your defense, do you have what it
takes to defend against the heroes of the kingdom?
CAST POWERFUL SPELLS. OBLITERATE THOSE WHO DARE TO ATTACK YOU
Is the king stupid or has he forgotten you can shoot fireballs from your hands? In addition to your
misfit army of monsters, you can cast powerful spells to bring death to your enemies. Use
fireballs, lightning, ice and more to power up your own monsters, rebuild defences and defend
your lair against the king’s army.
