## Tower Fortress Reviews in United States

### ***** "Good game"
Very fun
-- xkxthziy, 2025-09-03

### **--- "Issue"
Normally I do not have an issue with advertisements, as those are where companies such as Nitrome gets their revenue. I cannot in good faith criticize that especially since most of the time there are paid ways to get rid of them.
However.
In this case, there is some flawed execution. For one, they play after each level, which may not seem like an issue at first. Now may be the time to mention the small timer in the left hand corner which tracks the amount of time you’ve been in a run.
I soon discovered that, even while watching the ad, the timer does not stop. Which means that even while being forced to WATCH AN ADVERTISEMENT, you are still BURNING TIME that could be put towards making it through the level.
Now personally to me, I do not speedrun; That’s just not how I play video games. But I imagine it is quite disheartening to realize that your speedrun is based solely on what type of ads you get between levels.
Please. Do something about this. That is all I ask. You don’t need to remove them. Just find an alternative way to show the advert without affecting how fast a person can play the game. That is all I ask.
-- phillip miller, 2025-07-30

### **--- "The controls are spotty"
The controls feel like they don’t connect 100% of the time which is a real drag.  Mad fun game otherwise, but this kinda kills it for me.
-- Create Nickname ✳, 2025-06-18

### ****- "Mostly fun"
It’s pretty fun overall, but exiting the app and reentering it freezes it and the only way I found to get out is to kill the app. It also happens when you try to exit an ad and it takes you to the App Store.
-- bbean1711, 2025-06-07

### **--- "Fun, yet difficult. Annoying bugs."
I love the game, but the only gripes I have are with the ads after every single level, which should be turned down to just after clearing a boss level, and an extremely annoying bug where if you close your phone or the app for more than a second, the game completely freezes and stops working, and you have to restart the app, which is extremely annoying mid-level. I was the furthest I’d ever gotten in the game, and close my phone for a couple minutes and returned to find out the game had frozen and wouldn’t respond at all. And after a few seconds the app closed itself, which has happened ever time it’s frozen.
-- ameer lumpkin, 2025-03-07

### ***-- "Fun enough but flawed"
Even after having this game on my phone for years and getting a good handle on the controls, the difficulty feels poorly executed and unfair. The bosses, mainly the final boss, are not well designed. They're either tedious and boring or frustrating to the point where success feels like pure luck. This is largely because of their huge health pools (the final boss is especially guilty here) and attacks that are not telegraphed whatsoever. If you didn't get lucky and find a good weapon before the boss, good luck. You'll have to whittle down it's health while trying desperately to avoid taking damage. You WILL take damage. If you did find a good weapon before the boss, you can drain its health in seconds. Honestly I feel like the main issue with this game could be fixed just by giving the bosses better animations where they clearly telegraph their attacks. The final boss is such a ridiculous difficulty spike as if the devs expected you to be some powerhouse by then. The handful of upgrades you get along the way really don't make you feel much more powerful, even if you got the exact upgrades you wanted. You're still largely at the mercy of luck and RNG. Not Nitrome's best work.
-- captain_power_cyber_colt, 2025-02-05

### ***** "Only three bugs, played a lot"
If you get damaged near a wall on the levels where a grinder breaks the floors you can get stuck in the wall, other levels too, but rarer.

A fun bug is finishing the game while still in the final boss floor, meaning the credits either don’t roll or aren’t visible. Requires rocket gun which will track the enemy generator. You fall to the floor and the game freezes.

Last, if you kill an enemy at the same time it kills you (while you are in the air) it will let you spend points to continue, but will not restore your health and you will not be able to move.

Very fun game, very few bugs. The getting stuck in the wall is annoying, but finding the others was enjoyably difficult. Five stars.
-- marcus listone, 2025-01-08

### ****- "Please add this"
ADD A SAVE SLOT FOR WHEN YOU EXIT THE GAME, IT MADE ME LOG OUT ON THE FINAL BOSS
-- Carson Hellebuyck, 2024-08-10

### ***-- "Great game, a little buggy"
I loved this game when I had an android. I still love it, but it’s a little buggy on iOS. I haven’t gotten the audio to work in days, even after restarting my phone, and I just died on my last run because I got stuck on a wall.
-- Ferondil, 2024-06-12

### *---- "Pop-up ads after every level"
When the ad takes longer to get through than each stage, my time spent in game is more being forced to watch an ad then actual game play. I don’t know what happened recently, but this game used to be essentially ad-less with the option to watch an ad to continue a run after losing. My question is why? This is an old game that hasn’t seen updates in years on this platform.
