Ruined by Greed – Castle Creeps TD Review

Could be a fun game but the need to pay to advance even a single level at a time ruins the whole thing. Upgrading your towers to a certain point you'd think would be enough to get you through a handful of new levels but they've designed it so that, at least deeper into the game you literally have to upgrade towers and / or heroes for every single level to advance. What's worse, the economics of the game or insanely greedy. It costs you $5 to purchase 8,800 gold coins which will not even get you a single tower upgrade once your towers are level 8+. So asking the player to come up with more than $5 to do a single tower upgrade just to have a chance to beat a single level....come on man. Ridiculous. The only other way to get gold is to wait a day and a half for your knight chest to open for free and half the time there's not any gold inside anyway. If there is gold then usually you won't get more than 6000 gold with any single opening. So again if you're trying to upgrade towers that are anywhere beyond level six you're going to have to wait for three days in order to get enough money to upgrade your towers. Completing quests can help but again, no guarantee of gold. Too many games like this now and the only way the market will ever change is if players unite in resisting the pay to play / subscription model.
