Reviews for Isle of Arrows – Tower Defense

Good for the price, but late game is mediocre. The first campaign is a lot of fun and truly enjoyable, but when you get to the gauntlet it’s just repetitive. Not only is it repetitive, it’s tough because while it does require some skill it heavily relies on luck to get decent enough cards to […]

Almost perfect. The main campaign and daily challenges are entertaining as can be. The art style is simple yet lovely. The only thing holding this game back is the gauntlet missions. Some of the levels are nearly impossible to beat with the randomization. Defeat due to lack of knowledge or experience is great because you […]

Great bones, needs more work. The gameplay and ideas are fun, and really addictive for the first few hours. But once you’ve completed the core levels, it gets less interesting. I wish there was more to do with all the cards, and ways to get interesting cards more often, or even build your own deck. […]

I hate this game sometimes and it’s so perfect too. The faction variations are cool and change the game a lot. I wish the road building was slightly less restrictive. Also would love unlimited save files, sometimes you make a run breaking decision and it sucks and at l moment you can’t do anything about […]

A good game, no microtransactions, no pay to win, no ads, just a good game you buy once. The tower variety and challenge modes give a lot of replayability, the only complaint I could have is that sometimes I feel like a loss was entirely up to RNG, but that’s not too common and I […]

Really fun starting out, but then after the tutorial you realize that it’s too luck-based. There are many fun combos, but you’ll almost never get to use them. If you could pick which cards are in your stack, this could be a really fun game. Maybe make a minimum deck size and allow us to […]

Very good game. Good mechanics and building islands is very fun. Limit of 40 rounds is a bit sad because i want to build so much more. Hope im not just missing longer modes. Controls are responsive and ive only had one slip up accidentally selecting something i didnt want so far. Top teir mobile […]

As a longtime TD fan who’s played all the classics, this game brings a new twist to a great genre. Rating 5 starts for using a purchase model with no ads or micro transactions, and its offline. The game plays like a tower defense where you get cards to place towers and paths each round. […]

update: after more time, there’s in many ways a lack of decisions to be made. there’s no way to influence your deck or tweak targeting so you kind of just have to take what you can get. super luck reliant in this way. the game is fantastic, but please add an undo button. I just […]

Great game. Surprisingly well balanced for how many elements there are and how many ways those elements interact. But the way the frequencies of cards are weighted needs some serious work… Especially in gauntlet mode… I feel like it just shouldn’t be possible to go through 20 or even 30 cards and not get a […]

I love the game concept. Building the path is rare in TD. You should try it! It works well. Feedback: For me, lack of resources… or the slow trickle of options makes this game plod along and get very claustrophobic quickly. It does not allow for enough creativity. e.g. so many limits on placement, if […]

I am obsessed with this game. Finally, a real challenge! With all the different levels and categories there is a lot to play, and no buying anything for once. One of the better games out there. Not sure why some people are nitpicking about tile restrictions or whatever, seems kind of whiny. And yes, the […]

Initially very fun, but it quickly becomes ridiculously difficult and your success hinges entirely on luck and getting the cards you need when you need them. You end up having to replay with the same modifiers over and over and over and over (ad nauseum) in the hopes that you’ll eventually maybe get perfectly lucky. […]

Has a lot of potential. the graphics are beautiful, the idea is fresh and perfect for small form devices. There are a few rules that annoy me. first, building corner pieces is a pain. if we could drop tiles caddy corner to structures, I feel would make it more possible to utilize corner tiles and […]

I’ve played a lot of tower defense games. This one is unique and has serious longevity. I just completed the difficult gauntlet mode and had such a blast. It’s a perfect game to play a couple rounds for a few minutes or to play for an hour trying to build different things. It’s fun to […]

I love this game and enjoy it everyday. It is challenging but so satisfying to win a level. I sometimes find it frustrating that the second and third paths appear, as they often bring on my demise, but the more I play, the more I learn what works best. I do wish there was a […]

The game relies too much on random (tile) generation for my taste. This can’t be called a strategy game, but more like “how much luck do you have” game. Positive is that it can be played offline, it’s a single purchase without any micro transactions. Since it’s promoted as the strategy game I strongly disagree […]

Worth the price if you like tower defense. The game is unforgiving and forces you to fail to learn, so you will lose before you manage to pass levels. Factions completely change the way the levels are played, and the diverse amount of tiles and content ensures you will always have something to do. Also, […]

I find the RNG aspect of this game disappointing. The number of times I lose because every single tower or trap i get is attached to a water tile, or I never get the path tile I need is way too often. I wish there were more single tower tiles, and they weren’t as rare […]

Great tower defense game. It does need more, like a sandbox mode, a mode where the map is pregenerated and just general content but if you’re looking for a unique tower defense, look no further. I’ve played sooo many tower defense games over the years and this is the first in a very long time […]
