Isle of Arrows – Tower Defense

This game is still transferred to each phone (2024)

This is a delightful tower defense game that blends in a board game mechanism which is very unique and unexpected. Very impressed by the visuals and creativity. Can’t stop playing it. Keep updating this app please!!!

No updates for over a year, only 4 levels and you can beat them very quickly.

Definitely plenty of replayability here, and a fun combination of a sort of deck solitaire - tower defense hybrid. However it is a bit too random for my tastes - even if you do everything you can to mitigate and manipulate your chances sometimes the cards just don’t turn up your way - which is difficult to accept in tower defense where generally planning and exact calculation is the order of the day. So the tactical element where you do what you can and alter your strategies in real time is appreciated - but there is not enough balance in the way the cards come out so prepare to lose a lot. Also I dislike how they simply add new lanes randomly nearby rather than having one clean lane for the whole play through (at least in early stages or low difficulties) while you are tempted to double up your towers in practice they are not fast firing enough to cover two lanes and so you mostly just have two or three different lanes and have to balance your builds against each one separately , which I believe the devs conceive of as fun and challenging but I simply find it annoying and disruptive. Get your single lane balance perfected before you go relying on adding more lanes for challenge. If this concept was refined and developed further it could be an all-time classic. As it stands it’s a solid idea get more than Your moneys worth playing it.

The game is easy to learn, difficult to master. You can see the difficulty ramp up and when you lose, you know why you lost; rather than feeling like the game is cheating you. The gameplay is simple but unique and inspired. I love the game and have played it at least a few times every week since launch. However, the game is growing stale. There has been almost no actual content added to the game since I got it. The last overall update was last year and that was the only time any content has been added. A word for the developers: please, for the love of god, don’t let this game die!

This could have been one of the greatest TD games ever--except that it is only winnable if you have the hack. Otherwise, you will be at the complete mercy of an anti-player algorithm (forget the eyewash about it being "random").

Brando Sando sent me, and I haven’t regretted it. Nice strategic, deck building, tower defense game with no micro-transactions and several layers of complexity to unlock. I enjoy how you build the world, the path, and the defense simultaneously.

Bought the game off Brandon Sandersons recommendation. It’s a very fun game, no micro transactions, and tons of variety to stay interesting for a quite a while.

Brandon Sanderson recommended it and I gave it a shot. Lots of fun!
