Rumble Rivals: Tower Defense Reviews

by Epc7

Update: since my last review I’m changing it to a one star since they continue to not let us play with friends in co-op. WHY DO WE HAVE FRIENDS ON THIS GAME IF WE CANT PLAY WITH THEM. Completely trash that they did that.

There’s a few issues I have with this game.. Even tho it’s a “free” to play game you are not advancing or unlocking gold characters, unless you buy the rumble pass. It makes NO SENSE how I can lose a battle and lose 40+ plus points but NEVER have I won more then 31 points. Make that make sense? How can I lose over 40 but can never gain that. I don’t know what type of algorithm they use, but I can use the same board and be doing great and then out of nowhere lose 5 to 6 games and lose so much progress. It makes me not want to play anymore because now I have to win all those games back and then more just to unlock something. So overall it’s a fine game but it doesn’t make sense on alot of things the developers do.

10/17 - “glitch” or cheating bots? Cards freeze mid game, unable to be moved or merged the whole game. Toxic spell will consume a card next to it without a merge from the other player. Every legendary in PVP is level 11 where I’ve gotten 1 additional card since unlocking the legendary. $60 will get me one more card to upgrade to lvl 9. But enough cards to upgrade to 11+? Every “player” in pvp? Come on now.. at least try to hide the cheating..

Update 9/5 - so after I post the review, I magically get 3 legendary cards… but immediately start losing every match and I’ve dropped over 700 trophies. There is something seriously wrong with the algorithm and balance on this game! Decks that should have zero hit power absolutely blowing through matches while my heavy hitter cards are doing 0 damage. Way to punish players about being honest in reviews! I’ve been playing for about a year and I’ve been at a stand still for months now. Everyone I play against has the legendary cards that I do not. I play all the extras, even pay for the pass and I can NOT get those cards. They’ve never even been available for purchase unless a part of a $60 bundle. NO thanks. Wits obvious they do it on purpose. Also the nerf on the scarecrow makes it useless.

For whatever reason, I can’t seem to play it at all. I haven’t even started it and it’s giving me a hard time loading it in, no matter how I’d log in.
It loads till 12% then immediately says “Try Again” I thought it was having problem with my wifi. Nope, it denies both ways. I resetted my phone to see if it can be fixed but nada. It won’t let me load in. I deleted the game then reinstalled it, STILL won’t let me in.

Help me please

I downloaded this game. When it started to load it would pop up connection issue click to retry. Did this repeatedly every time it hit 10%. Did this on cellular data and full bar Wi-Fi. Deleted and re-downloaded twice thinking it may be a bad download and might have been missing files. Still continued to say the same error after 10% at start up. They spend all this money on advertising but don’t spend it to get their game to even start up properly? What a waste.

A good number of game developers actually listen to the people that play their games, this developer is NOT one of them. Reading through all the previous reviews, several recurring themes are present. Instead of listening to them, the developers have in fact done the opposite. More in your face “buy buy buy” let’s remove the timed free chests making it even harder to gain cards to advance. More bots in co-op mode. This game is had some fancy graphic improvements, but overall is just another dud game that many of us quit playing after a week or so.

Don’t waste your time with this game.

This game was very fun compared to some of its rival games such as random dice and others. However, there are many bugs that are not addressed which is ruining the game play, such as the time mage in co op mode will hurt your ally if the switch boss activates instead of helping your ally. Another instance is the robot not increasing attack speed with star level up. I’ve reached out for many many many glitches without any response and no fix within the game. It’s very unfortunate as this game is dynamic and could be fun had the developers addressed bugs and communicated within the response system appropriately to users instead of ghosting them. Your actions show you do not care about your app and certainly do not care about your users.

Your four chest slots fill up with each taking anywhere from 3 to 8 hours to open and you are then left waiting. 3 hours is allot but 8? Really? So you want people not to play your game but to sit around waiting. Or you assume your game is so good and people are so impatient they will just pay to open them. Maybe that is true but to me the game is not good enough to continue putting that much money into just for the chests that honestly don’t do much for you per chest opened. So no not worth it in my opinion. It’s a decent time waster but not a game I would invest my money into. Too greedy.

Game play is okay and I think they give you enough power ups along the way to keep it interesting before asking you to purchase jewels and tokens. However game play requires uninterrupted Wi-Fi.I live in NYC and thought it would be a good way to pass the time while riding the subway. I was wrong. Even with internet access reconnecting, the whole entire app needs to restart multiple times to the point where it becomes frustrating - hence the two stars.

I have been playing this game for months and have enjoyed it quite well. Until today. Played like normal this morning and everything seemed fine. Wanted to open RumbleRivals to get new quests and stuff around noon. Wouldn’t load. At all. Turned off wifi, deleted and reinstalled RumbleRivals . Nothing. At all. It was a little glitchy yesterday as in I’d try to play co-op and then it would shut down or wouldn’t load. Once it did actually load, I lost a co-op game play, because of course 🙄now, I have nothing. Says something about not connecting to server. What happened?!? Anyone else having trouble?

Game is extremely unbalanced. Over half the time you get paired against “real players” with legendary units so don’t ever expect to be able to beat them and when you do “win” a match it seems like it’s most likely against a bot that is meant to keep you engaged and playing. Unless you plan on dropping some cash on this don’t expect to have any real fun or progress. Sad to see another game where the new units they release are completely broken out the door. Shame on these devs.

by Yoman Breez

The game is fun except you always get the same cards out of the chess and it’s really hard to make it anywhere in the game it is a lot like Rush Royale and I wish it would be easier so that way it is funner need more cards as well

Plus The second highest chest you can buy which is 750 gems which is a lot takes a good amount of time to build them up you have a one percent chance to get a legendary card in the highest chest you have a 5% chance of getting a legendary card would be a lot funner if it was easier to obtain stuff you need

by Jon752

The game is very fun, but the unit balancing constantly needs work. Over powered units dominate and are taken advantage of by everyone who gets ahold of them. I’ll use the same deck and win consistently only for an unbalanced unit to pop up and I’m losing non stop until that unit is fixed. Makes for a very frustrating time. Also, please bring back the color under the units. It was very helpful for quick decisions in the heat of the moment.

Not sure why last few patches involved nerfing things like snakes and bone breaker. It’s clear that the most overpowered character is witch. Has an entire boss ability with no cooldown and with jesters, genie’s, and chameleons in game it’s just broken. It counters every single comp and ruins the fun of any other comps. Nerfing the snake and bonebreaker makes me feel its an effort to nerf easy to unlock characters to influence people to buy microtransaction packs for the characters I listed as overpowered. Losing fun with all the witch comps. Top 3 player btw. Might quit if witch’s dont get huge nerf. Imo should focus on adding new characters and heros instead of the patch’s consisting of micromanage balancing

Fun game if you like random dice and that type of game. This is one of the better if the genre EXCEPT this is one that has chosen to have limited treasure chest slots. Chests take hours to open and you only have four slots, and you can’t delete a box. So if you have your four slots full (waiting for one to open) you might miss a better box. So I feel like I need to close the game and stop playing to wait it out. It’s way too expensive to open them with gems. There’s also a LOT of packs for real money. Literally every time I open RumbleRivals , and almost every time I go back to the main battle screen an expensive iap pops up. I wish there were less in app purchase things cluttering everything up, and ✨I wish there were a simple “no ads” option✨ for a few dollars that would also allow you to open up your treasure chests. I would pay like $5 - $10 for that. Instead I’ll probably get frustrated with all the waiting soon.

I enjoy this game and I like that you don’t have to spend money to still be successful unlike your rival, rush royals, but I really play for the Co-op mode and i just can’t handle the continual bots that end up on my team. They are awful and as soon as a round starts I can tell whether it will be successful or not but there’s also no way to quit or even dc really, so you’re stuck for at least 15 rounds of boredom. I’m hoping to see some new exciting characters in the future also! But alas, I will probably end up quitting soon because of the issues with Co-op. I also agree with a few other reviewers that it would be nice to have a few more chest slots. I love the random/luck aspect of the game. Would enjoy a way to chat with other players and team up to Co-op together and make plans and strategize!

I feel like the season pass should be 5$ instead of 10$ I would definitely buy it every season if it was 5$, I know this is a game that will probably take off big if you guys keep doing the right things. Ive played clash royale for 5 plus years and think this game definitively has potential to be a long lasting game. This game is a lot of fun!!

by Rshenky

I think this game is newer so maybe they are working on it… but the similar games that are exactly like this game have a friends list where you can add your friends and play co-op. This game will need to add this feature or else you can go play other games that are EXACTLY the same but you can play with friends. I do like the characters in this game.

by OG ZooMaa

I currently Moderate for them in their Official Discord Server because of how good this game is. I been playing since January of 2023 and have yet to stop playing. These guys do nothing but give the community what they want and listen to everyones suggestions through the Discord channel. If you’re not part of the Discord by now, you need to join today!

by Torisaur

Gameplay speaks for itself, I’ve played a long time and with just a few small purchases here and there, a great go to game to get away to a couple times a day.
See what the top guys are using and build towards that. Look at the % win rates and try and duplicate. One of my 3 favorite go to games !

by BattosaiTMS

It’s a lot like rush Royale the game play isn’t bad, there is a chest situation that takes time to open and can only have four so if you have four basic chest you stuck with them until you open one and it takes 3hrs to open or spend gems for quick witch is stupid when you should be able to throw away a chest

by XschadenX

Very addictive. Fun game. I enjoy the strategy of what characters work well together. I wish there was less randomness to it. That when you merge two units the resulting would be a higher level of the same unit. Also wish you could destroy some of your units. Even if it wastes your mana, being able to delete a unit that you don’t want taking up space would be nice.

by Fatdog 9

This game is so fun I just wish I was better and it was easier to level up, but besides that point this game is amazing and has a lot of potential! I would love to see more codes and stuff. I feel like a lot of people can get into this game like a 4 year old to a 70 year old.

by Chadtflood

Imagine Clash Royale and Rush Royale have a baby, that is this game. Only just started but iv been playing both games since release. All i am going to say is that this game will get to their level or maybe better with time and Support from us. Great Graphics and game mechanics. Proud to say i’m one of the “Early Beginning” Players. Keep up the good work. Hoping for more great things to come.

by Yupyupers

Disregard my last review I did not see the compensation gift 😅
But is there any time frame that could be provided on clans being added to the game?? I’ve honestly stopped playing as much as I used to as its gotten super repetitive with nothing really excitingly new 😞

by Fjddjudnid

First off, love the game. But can you please fix the seasonal quests. I do what it says and it doesn’t count it sometimes and it’s so annoying. Unless I’m missing something of course but im pretty sure I’m not. Please look into that.
