    The To-Dooms can be completed on any level -- you can even complete them in the endless mode too, or you can go back to earlier easier levels to complete them if you're having trouble but you're far into the game. They are basically meant to be more of a "sidequest" type of things to add extra variety to your goals, rather than the main focus

    The reason you can only see 3 at a time is because you're meant to basically advance through them and unlock the later/harder challenges. However, we'll definitely consider a way to be able to view all the ones you've previously completed. Thanks for the feedback!

    As far as I can see the to dooms are not per level but for the entire game (crush 10 foes with manual trap, slow 10 foes with over active AC, etc)

    I figured that game title out thanks to a post on the review. The game this looks very similar to is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A Dark Lord.

    That game was great and I have wanted a similar title. This looks to be it! Also, for those of you who enjoy this game, you might want to check out FFCC:MLAADL on wii ware as well. Hopefully it's on wii u...

    Grats on the 5 star :)

    Damn, you find some of the best, most inventive games on iOS. This one has had me going all morning for sure five stars. A lot of work went into this as well as some love and it shows through! Great game, GOTW locked for sure ;)

    Are there multiple save files? I might want to try going through the game again... without upgrades so it's harder. :p
    ...without sacrificing my save file. :eek:
    (Seems to be one file. See my next post for more comments.)

    GOTW - Definitely. Didn't even bother with any of the others.

    I just wish there were more minion options! I love actually having units (or villians) on the field. Maybe even add signature characters that are prevailent like Kingdom Rush.

    Anyhow, everything seems great. I do hope this game doesn't fly by too fast because I beat world 1 fairly quickly and there's only 2 more worlds left (not counting the endless world).

    GOTW! Great game. Reminds me a little of Tiny Heroes, but it is way more polished and better balanced. Well worth the price and i am glad that it is not free to play. Highly recommended!

    A lot of this is already answerd the dev said the game can be 7/9 hours for some people to do the campaign and dabble in endless mode and even longer to unlock everything.

    Replayability - Well you can play missions over again to earn extra coin early for upgrade or new traps/minions play them again for fun or to complete the quests and there's endless mode too.

    Challenge - Trying to complete all of the quests/challenges along with the game and endless of course : )

    Rpg - I'd say the buying of traps and upgrading them is very rpg like as you can chose which you want to buy and which to upgrade and when. Fun to chose which to take into battle and the different strategies for each.

    Just really good all round as I just personally played level 10 over and over again simply because it's really easy and to unlock new traps and try them and buy upgrades. Probably been doing it for hours actually...I like to test them all out and see what I like and then I'll carry on playing through the game again to complete it with my favourite toys : )

    Also I have to say this game is amazing on battery life, my phone always dies quickly yet I just played for a very long time and still had plenty of life left.

    Congrats on all the great reviews dudes. I wasn't goin to consider this as I usually relate adult swim to freemium games but all the great posts and reviews have made me pay attention!

    My only question is this! Will the game go freemium in the near future!? The worry I have is that the game looks to have freemium elements like premium currency! And I will be raged if I buy then it becomes F2P!!!!

    This game is a fantastic strategy title, has brilliant art style and animation, gameplay is fun and creative, levels are very replayable and the amount and range of traps / minions is a good size.

    I would only ask for an update to allow pinch zooming so we can zoom in to the action as it would be great to see the characters up close.

    Please feel free to develop extra expansion packs also as I will definitely be up for getting new level designs and brand new trap designs !!!

    5 out of 5 stars! Bravo!

    Or should I say, mwah hah harrrr!

    It's been a while since I got hooked on a game like this. I didn't do anything I was supposed to do today because the time just disappeared as I played as an Evil mastermind setting traps...I love it. Everything about this game really works, even the icon is awesome! Tons of content and replayability...seriously doh.

    Anyone have a favorite technique? I've been doing segments of spikes-AC-buzz saw all on the same square, with fireball cannon shooting at it...and it's hilarious.
