Great new spin (pun intended) on tower defense. Initially the onslaught of ads was tedious, but the game was interesting enough for me to find the $0.99 upgrade for ad free play at the in-game store. Ads are still available for a free life and in the store to earn coins.
The levels ramp up in difficulty, but there is skill and strategy needed to get past (the wizards magic attack slices through the brutes when leveled, and the knight is better against mages, ghosts and dragons). Every 10 levels is a boss to fight, but things usually get easier for the next few levels as you add new floors, powers and hero upgrades. Ive played all available levels with both knight and wizard.
There is no need to grind the low levels. You can earn gold for upgrades at the in-game store by watching ads. I usually just run through a few as Im getting ready for the day or preparing a meal. The rewards for higher levels increase, and there are a few easier ones to grind for coins.
Only thing missing is more levels.
