Tons of Fun

Sure you lose nine out of 10 times when playing the AI, but it's addictive to try to pick the weapons/first aid/armor/action cards and lay out your troops in order to survive against the relentless aliens. Very high quality production. It appears updates have fixed most issues

Buggy

Game is fantastic, hands down. That's not in debate. The app is buggy though. You can't draw any of the free troops to fill your line, and if the screen ever locks, you can't proceed. It won't allow item selection when you unlock the screen. 😞 Very sad, as this awesome game needs more exposure, bad exposure may kill it prematurely though.

Must be fixed! Works great!

I took a chance on this, seeing all of the negative reviews, but the crashing issues are fixed! I had no issues on my iPhone X or iPad Air 2. It requires patience learning how to activate abilities/card effects (play the tutorial). Of course it's more fun co-op, but solo mode is a blast. This game is alot of fun and very challenging. Good luck!

Like a FPS like Lost Planet/Halo/Marathon

Has the feel of the old time dungeon crawling alien first person shooters but mix in some deck building action. Love the card designs; enemy units; different weapons. Great game would love an Xbox one port with achievements.

Almost Great

I really like this game as the coop is awesome. But it’s freaking buggy and there’s no way to undo some things you are stuck with it. It’s hard so these frustrating broken ai choices it forces you into break the game. Good job on the game, keep at it. It’s almost there.

Must have if you enjoy the card game!

This game is a great translation of the Cool Mini or Not card game of the same name.

Amazing!

This is a great translation to the real game! Solo mode is really tough tho. I can only make it to round 7 so far. It would be nice if they made it to where you can play with NPCs.

Great game

A very fun twist on the deck building game type. The art is amazing well worth a try.

Fun and Challenging

Outstanding app! I've played the board game and fell in love with it. The art is amazing. Lots of fun!

This game just keeps getting better.

1 star reviewer turned Huge fan. These Dev's really care about this game. They keep adding more great content. They fixed everything we requested in solo play. It is now possible to pass and play as well. I'm hooked!

awesome game, very fun!

wonderful combination of card and tower defense, highly recommended ... plus it reminds me of the all time great Aliens movie!

Fun...Hard

Great deck building game. I haven't beat it yet!

Great game but...

This game is really fun but the multiplayer is basically impossible to finish because of bugs. Also the art is really satisfying.

Entertaining but Unwinnable

This game shows a lot of promise. Unfortunately, they should have tested it a bit before releasing it, as it is so unbalanced as to be fully unwinnable. If you play perfectly, you can actually make it to the 8th of 9 rounds before the enemy's extremely over powered cards wipe you out. This is in "easy" mode. They need to rebalance the game. This could be achieved by starting your base with 30 hit points rather than 20. Otherwise, this is like an 80s arcade game, you can never win, you just get

Great visuals, Asmodee’s same terrible interface

This game looks great and keeps in the spirit of the board game. However, trying to play cards and/or their abilities is atrocious. Typical from Asmodee games on the phone that I have played. Spend more time trying to perform functions and actions than making strategic decisions.

Years later, still not balanced

I like the idea of this game. I like the styling of this game. I like the system used by this game. I do not like the balance of this game. I get that the game creators like games that may be impossible to win even even if the player was clairvoyant and used perfect strategy. I don’t.
