Top Troops: Adventure RPG Reviews

Been playing this a few weeks. Perfect for f2p or players who don’t mind a few irl dollars spent to save hours of grinding. The progression is smooth and enjoyable, new items and buildings and tactics unlock at a respectable pace so you don’t get bored or overwhelmed. This will change as you progress of course, buildings begin to increase in costs for both resources and time. Units being merged in larger groups have benefits, try to get as many units merged at once as possible! Music is somewhat monotonous, but I haven’t found a single mobile game that has a solution to that. Art work is clean and easy on the eyes. Animations are fluid. Scenery is vibrant and thematic, each area stands out so far. No unit types are similar, which is great. I hope we can increase the rank of our first hatched units at some point, no more one stars when you start having a LOT of different units. Space becomes quite the premium. Aside from that, and even with that, five star game. Keep the updates and new stuff coming in, this game will stay active on my phone for months or years to come.

After the update reset, it hurts knowing the money spent is gone forever. Took away a star because of it. Still a fun game, and the new stuff looks fun.

So i’ve been playing this game since November of last year, Im top 60 in the arena rankings and I really enjoyed the gameplay, merge aspect and adventure battles but since this new auto sort update, it’s 10 times harder to progress and level up your troops in the library due to it being so much harder to get troop coins. Before the update, you were able to fill your coin storage fully or halfway for a reasonable amount of gems but now it’s near impossible because its like 40,000 gems which is crazy! And doing the adventure battles doesn’t even help, they give you little to no coins so progress takes even longer. Auto sort was an okay update i guess, i would have preferred auto merge. I also like the new dark mode but i can barely progress because it takes forever to level up my troops. I also feel that auto win shouldn’t have tickets, if you cleared that level, you should be able to auto win that level however many times you want with the energy you have, it’s so stupid. This game had so much potential and was so fun before this new auto sort update. I really hope the dev’s make some changes soon because the game has become so much worse, i feel like it’s turning away new players too because they can barely progress.

So we went from being able to get good mats and being able to do the story side of the map which used to cost 3 energy 5-6 times a day to a maximum of 3 and now the mats that you could get are no longer available there as well as a massive drop in gold. Add to that the fact that I lost half my building with all the dust that the training camps where processing as well as the fact that now all training camps had all the units I was able to craft now locked and I would need to upgrade the building and all it’s counterparts another 13 levels just to get to where I was before the rework makes this a terrible patch job. I feel like they either didn’t put a lot of thought into it or just didn’t care how badly it would affect their players. Thanks to this I see the stagnation period from when you finish clearing the story to being able to clear the dark version becoming much worse than it already was. If you’re a fellow player then I wish you luck, if you’re new and looking to start playing I suggest you look elsewhere because once you get to the midway point you will basically become stuck for a long long time. Good luck.

Been playing for over a year. In that time they have changed the stats on your character and the enemies at least six or seven times. Before the last update my primary team was over 800k in power. Now it is just over 400k. When trying to beat the level in the adventure area that I have been beating for over four months, now I get defeated. Even though I was beating it 4 months ago with about 40% less power than I had before the update.

They can’t seem to settle on the stats for this game. It is an absolute catastrophe. I would love the game if they could get that figured out. But it has went up and down so many times that I am sick of dealing with it. I am deleting TopTroops after this review. If it is the same person in charge of this the whole time, they definitely need to be fired.

If it is multiple people then they need to find someone who is capable of figuring this out. I have been playing games on the iPad since it first came out and I’ve never seen anything get changed this much and still not be right.

Let’s see…you took away land, are now charging a ridiculous amount of gold to upgrade the castle, took away gold mines to make it harder to get that gold, reduced troop count in battles to make it harder to fight, took away soul mines to make it harder to level up troops, greatly reduced effectiveness of training centers to get better troops (and charging gold now for that as well), increased the battle cost across the board to make it even more difficult to train troops, and I’m pretty sure that some of my troops disappeared with the upgrade. The one “bonus” of receiving more rewards when you level up is immediately made invalid by the greedy devs greatly increasing the amount of experience required to level up. Devs have officially made this game pay to play for anyone who wasn’t already maxed out prior to the latest upgrade. Trolling your user base to force them to pay is a terrible business model. I’ll give them one update to fix this mess, then I’ll delete the game and stop wasting my time.

Had to give it one star since zero is not available. I have been playing for over a year now and was a top player in the arena and had many units leveled extremely high. In the time I have been playing I suffered through multiple updates where they removed some existing progress, ie. buildings etc. it was annoying but manageable. However in the most recent update that all changed, they completely deleted all game progress even purchased unlocked land and reset everyone to zero. Seems fair right? Logging countless hours on a game and spending actual money on gems and unlocks and you are rewarded with a weak apology and 10K coins. By the way that 10k in coins was given to every player no matter the value of their account. I reached out to their support team and this is was their response

Hello,

Sorry for the inconveniences. We have gifted you a GREAT DEAL of gems as an apology.

We really appreciate the time you spend in the game, and we are working actively to make it better every day!

Thanks for your support.
They offered no response on my follow up question either. This isn’t just annoying it’s criminal to take peoples money and not offer a remedy or reimbursement when you take back their purchases or progress. Do not download this game you are bound to be let down by their poor update management and customer service. I am escalating to apple for a refund based on this company stealing peoples money.

Spent a month playing and roughly $70 on various bundles. Though I’m deleting it and this is where I landed:

Pros:
The concept is cool where it mixes a few different mobile game mechanics with battling, resource cycles, and merging units. But some of that is also it’s downfall.

Cons:
You’re almost disincentivized for merging your strongest units. Because it’s better to have multiples of a strong one on the battlefield than only one super strong one of it. You’ll learn that the hard way.

The concept of merging units turns into a kingdom full of garbage and A LOT of time wasting in there trying to manage it all. Even though they give you the “auto-sort” feature, that is only marginally helpful as you’ll still have units cross spans of the map I grouped. It would be better if they stacked the units instead of spreading them out. (archer x3) instead of (archer) (archer) (archer) what was initially cool, turns out to be a massive annoyance.

Within the first two weeks you will be bombarded with game modes and events that although are cool at first, they’ll quickly turn into overload of more stuff to manage and more modes that require your time and attention. This might better as a PC game where you want tinker with inventory and spend hours getting nowhere fast rather than a quick pick up and play mobile.

The game has had issues since the very first battle. It would not let me merge troops which ment I could not clear the very first stage. I have not unlocked any features so there was literally nothing I can do. Solution just to try to play, I paid for the .99 cent troop chest, success! I was able to clear the first stage. Now it wants me to merge 3 archers.. I don’t have 3 to merge and the arrow takes you off map where you cannot go (I took screenshots of all the issues).. soo once again the game is unplayable. I don’t care if they don’t refund the dollar, I do care they fix these issues and respond to my emails. I have not seen many reviews with this just other complaints about updates so I hope this is a rare one off glitch and others can enjoy the game.

Fix these errors and I’d be happy to update my review and give appropriate stars!

Been playing the game for about 5 days now. 2 days in I decided to reset using the in-game reset option so I could spend my gems better. Now on my new game I’ve reached the magical islands and are about 5 area sets in. I clicked on a big iron chest and accidentally started a battle. When I was done with the battle my game would now not let me auto-reorganize troops, instead saying “wait for previous thing to finish” or something. Now when I try to get back in the game it pauses on “logging in…” and completely freezes on “game managers…” at first I thought that it just sucked that I’d have to restart but now even if I delete and re-download the game this doesn’t solve the problem. Could I get any help kindly?

I’ll try making this short and sweet. So I used to play this game, made it up to the sixth spot in the Arena so I had spent time playing the game and enjoyed it. I’ve noticed the past few monthly updates the game gets the developers turn into Mona-Lisa from Parks & Rec with their hand out yelling, “MONEY PWEEEZZZZ!!” These past few updates they have sort of taken stuff away from the game but put it behind the usual having to spend real money (just going to give the example of the second builder that we USED to always have in the game till you took it away from us and put it in the monthly KINGDOM PASS). In my opinion it’s not really fun anymore, kinda bored with the getting stuff taken away each update just for it to be behind a (hey give us money) thing. I don’t know, that’s just my two cents.

I really like this game but I’ve prolly spent 10$ on the game and bought 2 emperor chests and literally got nothing good at all. Which is stupid because I’ll spend my money but not if I won’t get anything good I also bought the 600 gem island and got nothing outta those good chests. It really just pisses me off y’all should either make the chests cheaper make it a lot higher chance too get better troops. I know y’all need too make your money but don’t you think you’ll make more if better stuff comes out of the chests. Ps . It would be nice too send me some gems for the 5star review. ( I play the game a lot )

Not only does it not spam you with ads, it’s actually super fun! There’s much more content then expected from a free mobile game, and it doesn’t spam you with starter pack „deals“ or anything like that.

My only recommendation is to add an auto-merger mode. After a little bit of play, you have a lot of troops scattered around the main screen, and it’s difficult to tell if there’s stuff you can merge. So either a menu option that says what troops can be merged, or an auto merger.

Thanks, I really do want to see this game grow, and I appreciate it.

I have been playing close to a year. It’s been good so far, I even endured that update that wiped out all of our progress a few months ago, no biggie. I like the chambers and island modes, they’re fun and allow us to get some nice goodies. Still, it’s getting a bit old. Stuff like clan battles, challenges, events with bigger prizes, new units, seasonal events/prizes etc. would keep it fresh. Daily tasks are the same, completely mechanical and I can do them while I’m still asleep in the mornings. It poses no challenge whatsoever and it’s become stale. Anyway, I’ll keep playing but maybe not for long if it continues to be the same thing over and over like that Groundhog Day movie.

Only been playing for a couple days but have grown to really enjoy it. Only problem is the day after the update my game tried updating in the middle of my game play and messed up my land and buildings. So now I can no longer buy any buildings and I’ve lost 3 of the buildings that I already bought. I have sent a message to support with no response at all and I’ve tried just biting the bullet and uninstalling and reinstalling with new data but no luck it keeps game data witch is normally good, just not for me right now

After seeing the add for this game for like the 47th time I tried it and to my surprise it was really good It is better than most games and barley any ads at all I recommend you try it and prove me wrong but first if there are any devs reading this can you add an all merge feature? It is kinda hard for me to make sure all of my units are merged without missing any being able to merge all for free or with an ad with just one click would be very nice anyway thanks for reading have a greeeeaaat day bye

Ok, I had to put something ridiculous and unprofessional so everyone would know that this isn’t some bot or generic or response created by the developers to make everyone want a piece of the action. This is genuinely a decent game, and I can honestly say that I have never had more fun, if any at all, playing a merge game. I wish there was like a limit about of extra gold star option to Award apps on iPhone form people like me who truly appreciate the apps, because I would certainly drop one.

Wanted to update as the new update shifted this game heavily into pay to win…

1. Took away 2nd builder without pass purchase
2. Increased money cost on all upgrades to the point I can’t update a building except maybe once every 2 weeks with completely upgraded mines to my level.
3. New leveling system is strictly about money unless they increase gateway respawn
4. Haven’t updated any grinding features just money grabs
5. After being in top 50 this game has no purpose as I don’t intend to spend thousands of dollars for gold and purple chests.
6. No end game

7. Goodbye top troops!

This game is good. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to be good but some luck won’t hurt! What I would like to see is a little more balance in the amounts of the stuff you get… maybe have it built into a descaling % instead of getting the same 750 for a group of 3 at level 1 vs 40. Some of the rebalance that happened in a recent update as well will benefit new player more than existing but was still needed. Overall great free game that you just need to spend time on and not money!

I have only been playing for a month, so not much time has been wasted by me however, an update was put out today that was mandatory, upon updating and logging back in I am met with a message stating that the developers are very sorry but the entire game had to be reset. So all the troops I have gathered and merged all the achievements all the gems and all of the pvp battles I had won were gone. I was understandably upset, and came to TopTroops Store to review, to find that this has happened multiple times before. Who is to say that it won’t happen again. Player beware. It is an incredible game, I enjoy it immensely, however to have my progress reset for ANY reason beyond breaking rules or hacking is reprehensible.

Yall are very brave releasing ver 0.0.00X to us! Fun to see gave under dev. Wanna see what yall have planned for multiplayer mode!

Couple things I’m seeing:
Spells aren’t available when needed, eg vs kamikazes, you cant tangle them because they blow up before spell button enables.

Ninjas seem overpowered. We just line them up with opposing ranged, they get a free hit or 2, and its over.

On iOS, when swiping up to switch out of app, game can accidentally merge units. UI needs no merge areas at bottom and top of screen.

Adventure mode has some of the trail markers too low on the screen, behind bottom bar, hard to tap them.

Town Hall 7 quest completed when I reached TH6.

At TH5, I pretty much had all the units. Might consider rebalancing the chests etc a bit, make your content last longer. Ie TH1-3, common units. TH4-5 rares, TH6-7 epics, no legendarys until TH 8.

Just some thoughts. Great work team.

It’s a great game great features I like but it also depends on what level they are rather than just the army power in battle but my main complaint is that somethings just don’t make sense how does a level six rare free stars have more army power then A two star rare but it’s level of 11! And please make for Epix and legendary a little more common because I swear something like 75% of all of my troops are commons or rares. PS I know it says five stars but I want to do 4 1/2 thank you.(:

I like the merge mechanics and battle mechanics. It’s a pretty fun game, but the pay wall came fast. I paid for the season pass almost immediately, and it was higher than I have seen in similar games. I was hoping this would let me do some progression to keep me occupied for several days, because I’m stuck in bed recovering from an accident. But, I’m still stuck with very few legendary characters and too many common characters. Even waiting and waiting for 4 different types of energy/resources to build up to the low limit, only allows for about 5-10 min of game play before you are out of energy, and out of resources to level up your units to match the level of enemies their putting you against.

This is not a good level progression, and is not worth it for f2p, because you will quickly get swallowed up by the difficulty level of each new area that opens.

Would be a great game if they’d actually let you play it. The limited amount of energy and the time it takes to get energy is gross. Pay to win is expected for a game like this. I don’t mind the grind. But you can’t grind. Just a tactic to try to get you to pay money that I won’t spend a dime on this game. If they were more “generous” in actually giving you energy and higher energy caps I would’ve spent a good amount on it. But I refuse. The greed is blatant and bad.

Edit* after getting to about level 15 or 16 there are a few more ways to play which is nice. When you run out of energy you can play different game modes. I think this game has a lot of potential. I love the concept. They just have to figure out a good pace and flow for the early gameplay loop

Fun game! Yes, it has aspects of ‘merge’ games, but NOT THAT GAME! You actually get to fight, not hard to merge…It is actually pretty intelligent. Different units have different strengths/weaknesses. This is only a merge game in the lightest way. It is MUCH more prepared/developed. My only qualm…..stop giving me PVP with everybody 2-3x my power! Haha. Maybe the think you want to shoot for stars/feel lucky…NO! We all lose, occasionally, to somebody weaker (he/she has strategy)….but, not 2x, 3x. I can send any idiots, when I am 2-3x. I’m too drunk to learn strategy. Fun game, on MANY levels. I was afraid that I was going to be matching gems. Best ‘Ad’ that I saw on a game. I play this game more, now

This game was a lot of fun like most mobiles in the beginning. Gets more difficult as you go unless you spend money. I spent some but not too much thankfully because my legendary hero’s one by one start disappearing. Spent a lot of time and some money acquiring these and now I’m stuck because my strongest troops are magically gone. I can see them in library but can’t access or use them in any game mode. I didn’t retire them nor did I use them on any other troops. I used the “help” button generic someone will get back with you response and nothing. They have a couple days to give me my troops back or I am out. Haven’t seen any reviews about this other than updates wiping progress…. Maybe this is a new bug or glitch but from what I have read nothing gets fixed other than a few gems which does nothing, especially considering good chests and summons even in bulk don’t give you anything of value… probabilities are ridiculous. Don’t waste your time unless major fixes…. NOT MORE GAME MODES…. Are done.

Zero balance. It’s like rock, paper, scissors, but with some rocks beating everything regardless. Your success is only determined by “which” units you pull, and how many legendary you pull. There are legendaries who alone can wipe an entire army, so if you get one, the entire game is pointless. It’s so sad to see what is a fun little battler ruined by the lack of balance. The entire “merge” system is pointless, since you are only merging trash to get points top by retiring the trash. You never get a chance to merge anything useful, so the system has no impact on the game outcome at all. You could ignore it completely and the game would be the same. Last, the battle difficulty has incredible spikes at times, where you will spend days waiting for pulls to overcome one fight, but then be able to three-star it and the next ten battles immediately. There is too much binary outcome of one side being overpowered or underpowered, so tactics matters not very much. Your tactics are also determined by your pulls, rather than careful thought, so sometimes there is nothing you can do as a counter tactic.
All in all, a very cute game with great possibility, but with the outcome always being determined by luck and money, but never by skill.

So I started this game 5 days ago. Grinded very hard to get what was needed and played the most technical I could to make it as optimized as possible. The worst part is I didn’t enjoy it at all. Made it to level 11. The troop power isn’t scaled at all. A single legendary character ( which has only a 2% pull rate with 200 gems for each pull) can devastate my 14k power army at 7k power. I never got one legendary and can’t move forward unless I pay into the game or continue grinding a game that isn’t enjoyable. You need to tweak the game and make it more balanced. And make it easier to get gems. I don’t want to spend $20 to do a single pull for a 2% chance of getting a decent troop.
Also infuriated me when I spent 200 gems (that took 3 days to get ) for a celestial pull which has the highest odds for high tier troops and only got a common 4 star unit

Never playing the game again. Do not recommend at all

I like the game thus far. However, I do have one main complaint. Top Troops (like too many other games) has what I guess you would call a tutorial at the beginning that does not just guide your hand during the beginning of the game, it down right grabs your wrist, pulls you where it is made to and will not allow you to do anything else until you perform the task the game has at that point. I can’t access any other features in the game, I can’t access things like my profile or even the settings menu. What if I to see the legal info in game for one second. Can’t do that. There isn’t even some setting to turn the tutorial off or something. This sort of thing about games *really* ticks me off and what’s worse, a large number of games out there do this too. It makes the game a lot less fun, at certain times, than it could be. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I spend about 20k gems to get my Oni warrior to rank 10, and now they just nerf it. I will not spend that much gems if Oni warrior wasn’t that good, now they just nerf it after tricking people spend a lot to get it. If they can do this now, they will do this in the future again and again after trick people into spending gems for something we thought are good then they just nerf it and laugh at us for our stupidity. P.S. Just checked older comments of this game, and it seems this is not their first time in do this kind of nerf fraud. P.P.S. The in game support replied me, said this is for “game balancing”, so if game balancing is so important, why not improve the strength of common and rare units? Why not improve the rate of legendaries? The truth is, it is all about money and greed! P.P.P.S They did it again by nerfing units without letting us know, it is a good time to quit this game of fraud.

This game is pretty cool with nice characters thats can do cool things only thing I don’t like is they match you with other players who have higher fighter points and it makes it hard to win levels for example my characters which sometimes it’s 12 or 15 there max defenses adds up to 33k they give you players that’s 40k and higher and there’s no way you’ll win you don’t get anything for trying either you have to wait to upgrade your characters and do older matches in the adventure mood to earn the blue coins and treasure chest to
Get more and merge them to get higher points as well I rather be matched with a person who is on my level so it’s a fair chance other than that very cool game.

I found this game from a Mr Beast video game and i’m disappointed that I didn’t find it sooner, I love this game and the way its built out but I have some requests. 1. To be able to build and upgrade (more easily) the squad coins and regular coin building. 2. Like the last request just make everything more cheaper to upgrade or made it easier to get coins. 3. I really don’t understand how to attack and defend in this game with certain troops and when I do I get killed way faster then when I was doing it randomly. 4. Make it easier to get more of the summon tokens. 5. Upgrade the energy thing so if you put in a certain amount of coins you can store and get more energy for the adventures and challenges. Besides these issues I love this game and hope it will grow!

My son introduced me to this game about a month after he started playing. We were enjoying it together. It was discouraging to him because I could ascend troops with easier materials than his account, so it didn’t take long for me to fly past him. Annoying, but we still played. Now one morning he gets up and his saved squad coins are less, and his storage is full so he can’t collect any or do events that award them. It was a drastic change and really makes no sense. He can maybe level 1 troop 2 levels a day? How do you progress at this point? All these “tests” are kinda ridiculous when it’s sporadic, it creates an uneven playing field, and honestly if I had his account they’d be no point playing at all. I really don’t want to play as much now either. It’s even affected our clan activity and I understand why. And there’s no word from any devs etc. the lack of transparency is sad to be honest.

It’s a really fun game, but there are somethings that I think need to change. I feel like we should be able to use the gold to buy other things besides buying shops or upgrading. It’s really hard to spend the gold when you can’t buy anything and your other shops/buildings are upgrading. I also feel as we should be able to friend other people and fight each other. Also, once we friend each other, we could maybe even fight together we our friends. We could fight each other and also even help each other by battling with our friends. Another way to help our friends out is giving them so items. If our friend has lots of gold, but we don’t have a lot then they could give us some. We could also have a more variety of chests and what they give us. Lastly, the last idea is that maybe we could trade our units for other unit with our friends. Overall this is a really nice game and i really enjoy it, but like always some things could be changed.

I’ve been playing this game for about two months and it was going great I was enjoying it…I ’ve spent about $30 but that’s only for the kingdom pass (this games version of season pass which is 9.99 per pass) which I felt was worth it for the rewards you received so as a f2p player it was great…the odds of getting epic and legendary troops wasn’t bad either (being every 20 summons id get at least one legendary and a few epic) but now in the last week I’ve spent over 4K gems and over 200 summon shards and only got 2 epic troops no legendary nothing but commons and some rare and to make matters worse you used to be able to ascend legendary troops from rank 4 to 7 using only epic troops (of different ranks of course) but now it requires you to only use other legendary which with the drop odds makes it near impossible to increase your power without dropping some serious cash

Every update this developer does this game gets worse and worse. Trying to upgrade troops has gotten more and more tedious because there is never enough gold to do anything. Additionally, the odds of success on upgrading gear is not based on actual odds they state but based on how much gear and gold you have. The game struggles with lag as well and needs work to get rid of those bugs.

The other part of the game is that it does nothing with cheating. Player v. Player is fine but when you are fighting story mode or fighting in chamber of destiny the game will pull out everything to screw you over. This game has no problem weakening your units while increasing the strength of their units even though they are the exact same units. The game hides behind “tactics” to explain why you have lost but the explanations make no sense. This game needs to eliminate all cheating that it has in the game and start working on a fair and balance game between players and the non player battles.
