What’s the catch? Paywall blocks the basics — reported by 26 users.
Analyzed automatically from 3 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.
This analysis describes version 7.00.62 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 7.00.62, updated 2026-03-16.
What the analysis found
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Paywall blocks the basics
Greedy — Can’t believe you have to pay to have access to the game only for 80% of heroes and half of the towers to be locked behind a pay wall
Greedy — This is not the type of game you need a DLC for. Locking your new content behind a paywall is just pure greed. I’d rather replay Frontiers again for the millionth time because at least that had some bonus endless levels that you…
Great game but way too much addition paid content — I love this game series, it’s second to ballon’s TD. But be warned that 7 USD is just the entry fee they have locked a ton of towers and hero’s behind very expensive pay walls. You…
Pay to progress
Artificial difficulty — As a disclaimer: I beat the game and all DLCs on impossible. I write this review not due to a “skill issue”; I enjoy difficult games, and am a fan of the KR series for this reason. Overall this game is terribly…
Pay to Win — I love this game don’t get me wrong. But as you progress and the difficulty gets higher you start to see how virtually all the new towers and heroes are loved behind paywalls. Where as before you could get like half the…
Pay to win — It’s actually sad what this game has become. Charging 6$ for heroes and towers that are huge game changers . I get charging but you guys are ridiculous . Also adding a ton of new campaigns you need to pay for. I miss the…
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
