Ammo Fever: Tower Gun Defense Reviews

by Evecque

We all know that these “games” are really just ad delivery devices. The best games keep the ads in check, usually giving you a benefit for watching. This game does that, but it also forces so many adds on you that at best it’s 50% play, 50% ads. This is literally how it goes, I’ve seen this several times. You voluntarily watch an add to get a free piece, then as soon as that ad is over the “game” makes you watch an ad. You don’t get any break from the ads at all and very little play to be had. It really just isn’t worth bothering with. The actual game is mildly amusing at bast and there’s just way too little of it to justify all the ad watching.

So, I’ve been playing for a couple of days now and making pretty good progress, but something weird happened.
I made it to the end of the third island, received the colored nuts 🔩 to upgrade the guns, and I was given the option to watch a video to get 2x as much but the video wouldn’t start. WiFi is on, and I just watched 3 videos prior to that one, but that one wouldn’t budge. So instead of getting 13,000+ in nuts I only got 6,500+ in nuts 🔩. That one aspect stopped me from giving 5 Stars ⭐️.

I’m honestly not sure why everyone is complaining about ads. Yes, there are a few ads maybe every other round, but you can skip most of them after a couple seconds. The game is fun, it gets harder as it goes on so it isn’t just the same thing over and over again, and it’s very fun. This is hands down my #1 game to play when I’m bored or on a road trip.

by JeffDiablo

The game is fun and quick but one major difficulty threshold lies in the conveyor belt. Eventually your turrets with fire faster then the conveyer can bring them ammo which make the game significantly harder in the later levels and eventually make upgrading fire rate useless. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is mentioning this.

by Plaid11

This is a great game and yes, there are a lot of ads but that’s not the reason for my low rating. They give an option to remove ads if you don’t want them. My issue is that there are some ads that don’t fully load and won’t allow me to close it out even after waiting for many minutes. It makes it very difficult to play the game at all. Please fix this! In addition to this, the game eats through my battery life way faster than any other game and makes my phone extremely hot after a few minutes of playing.

by Kindbunbun

I love it it’s like the best game ever but there are a lot of ads and also the game freezes up every 5 to 60 seconds and if you could pls fix that I’d give it 5 stars. So please fix both of those. And I have a seggestion for the game you should make it to where you can open gun packs/boxes for nuts and bolts please. That would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun

by LANTER IS THE BEST

This game is just about ads I’ve spent like 85 percent of my time just sitting here watching ads. If you want to sit here watching ads like me then download this trash, and if you don’t then you’ll spend a lot less time just watch ads. This is to the creators, I mean I know you need ads to make money, but why do you need to have this many ads in a simple little game? And all the glitches most of the time you don’t even get money from killing those… people or whatever. But please PLEASE fix these, I am literally on my knees begging you to fix these.

by TrustfullOrganism

So I found this game on ads and it seemed pretty cool, I decided do download it and I’m astonished. It’s a really fun game where these box thingies generate bullets to shoot zombies that come in a variety of colors, And they give these metal nuts when you kill them, Which is really nice because each color can upgrade a different ability.

by Vic The One

I love it when I download a game that looks fun and it has ads shoved down my throat and when ever I get asked if I want to watch an ad to double my earning or open up more space and I click no… I still get forced to watch it even though I declined it. This is one of those games.

by Jj4th

Not much going on in the game which makes it sluggish. Then the ads dear lord the ads run every like 10-20 seconds it’s insanely and they serve no benefit. Which this makes the already sluggish feeling game even more slow. You have no direct control of the game which almost feels like “oh ok I’ll put it down and do something else” just to come back to it and realize you made absolutely no progress bc 10seconds after putting it down an ad ran and never left the screen. Horrible experience

by RazorCQB

I really enjoy the game it’s a nice pass time when I’m bored out of my mind but when you purchase to remove ads it would make sense that it would also remove the ads to upgrade the turrets, I don’t wanna sit through ad after ad to upgrade the turrets. What’s the point of the gears if I’m never going to use them

by Swordsteel

I have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription just to rotate. the blocks
Oh, come on that is the most dirtiest move I ever heard of it should be a one time fee or if that’s not fixed I’m uninstalling the game I don’t support money hungry games, no offense what makes you think people can afford it that subscription let’s see I have a choice $35 a for food or $35 a for stupid game that could shut down in a year from now make it a one time fee, or I will uninstall this game and this was a fun game, until I saw this, the VIP greedy money, hungry people

by Jazzyjlh04

It’s a great game from what I can tell however you can’t even play for 5 minutes without an ad. Honestly I’m not sure if you can play for even a minute without some sort of ad popping up. I spend more time watching ads then actually playing the game. If there wasn’t so many ads I’d give this game a much higher rating. The ads are just beyond bearable though.

by SuitedReview

It’s only rated a 5 so you can see it
I started playing today and well, it’s fun I admit
But I want to restore my no ads purchase so I get the free with ad plots, but I’ve clicked restore purchase like 26 times and I didn’t get my purchase restored, I want my money back pls 🥲

by Alexanderz1275

The amount of ads the game has is actually unbelievable, you dont even get a compensation from the ad it makes you watch. Yes there is a skip button for the ad but it also makes you wait even more after the skip button and it is so frequent it’s actually unplayable. The gameplay in itself is not bad but its so frustrating to play when you’re playing as much as you’re watching ads.

by Sky Sellers

I didn’t mind the ads because i paid to remove them, however i beat the game in like 2 days and i there’s no mini games to beat… or like other levels i understand beating it over and over to become OP ti the point goku looks like a side character but it would be nice to have more challenges even if it is beta testing.

by ..Me:)….

This game is really entertaining, it’s really fun to play the only problem that I have is that after a couple minutes of playing it starts overheating my phone idk if it’s the amount of ads, which don’t really bother me. But after my phone gets to a certain temperature I have to stop playing :/

by Snoop Dooogggggghhy

I understand that the creators have to make money, but when I pay to remove ads I expected to not have to watch them to upgrade turrets. The fact that you have to pay to remove more or less half of the ads is ridiculous. I don’t recommend paying for it, seeing as it only removes the ones that would have popped up while fighting the waves. I can only hope the devs rethink the effectiveness of this paid feature.

by Dodi Beidoun

Really fun game and I understand the need of ads to keep the game free and so the developers can make some money but I mean there are an insane amount of ads like truly way too many it’s getting to a point where I want to uninstall it because every few seconds while playing an ad pops up. But other than that it’s a very solid fun little game.

by Bonillasur

Yes this says 5 stars, but that is a lie. This game deserves a 1 star but no one sees 1 stars sooooo.

This game has no sound. The one reason I downloaded it, was because of that American feeling of just wanting to see something, and listen, to the glorious brrrrrrt of a rapid fire gun.

No sound is the worst.

by 8bitOtaku

The game seems okay but I can’t even get to a point to see if I actually like it because there is an ad that pops up literally like every 10 seconds in the middle of a game. And not just a pop up ad from the bottom. A full on ad that takes the whole screen and you have to watch for 30 seconds.

Sorry but I’m not even going to entertain the thought of paying $3.99 for no ads when I see 3 times more ads than gameplay before I can even see if it’s worth it.

by HeyZBaby

Just like everyone else writing these reviews, there’s a major ad problem. But straying away from the normal rant, I feel like there should be more upgrades, more for the conveyer belt. I got the game a few days ago and I’m really enjoying it as a quick escape from everyday life. I’m on world 5 or 6 now, and the conveyer belt’s speed can’t keep up with the fire rate of my turrets or the production of ammo. So for a next update I feel that upgrades for the conveyor belts speed or transport capacity should be upgraded. Like you could buy another conveyor belt to move twice as many bullets to keep up with the ever increasing wave sizes. Just something that will allow you to spend more of the money you earn on something other than buying more merging bricks.

by Fhfjfuhrhejdifif

This is a very fun experience between the forced ads. The problem is that forced ads occur so frequently that it is near impossible to get immersed. The only good use of ads in this game is the ability to buy higher tier ammo at the cost of a 45 sec ad. Which is a pretty good deal, but when you are watching so many forced ads already with no actual benefit, it is really hard to even want to engage in the reasonable use of ads. Also this game made me long for old school flash games, if they pulled this crap on us back then we would not tolerate it, but we have gotten so used to it that it’s just an expected part of phone gaming. Such a shame.

by Corx242

Yeah there’s a lot of ads but the game is fun and it works with no wifi or data. I’ve been playing for a couple days and made it to level 8. It. Is. Impossible. I’ve tried watching so many ads to get as many ammo crates as possible and the conveyor belt still can’t keep up with the final waves even producing only purple bullets (the most powerful). Fun game but now it’s over.

by Grizzlyguy28

Just another mobile game that could’ve been amazing but instead is ruined by the ad apocalypse. It all started back in early days. Me an Bobby were learning our way through the tutorials they gave us. Inspired to show our metal we jumped into it showing how capable we were to others…. We were wrong….I bought my first ammo pack as instructed. Suddenly, violently we got hit out of nowhere! The ADS were made their first strike. Yelling to Bobby I needed to move the ammo to the gunner. A second ADs blast quickly followed. Panic set in, it was now or never. Once in control again I clicked the screen 5 times in desperation to move the ammo belt faster…. But it wasn’t enough. As soon as I gained speed we took a direct hit from the ADs. As the dust settled I looked around and saw that poor Bobby was no longer there….. they had taken him out…. Trying not to to give in to the oppressive ADs relentless bombardment. I loaded for the waves to come. I managed to kill an enemy but was swiftly hit with an AD. Suddenly 5 Enemies charged… Oh it was glorious to hear the sound of the gun firing round after round, the smell of burnt shell casings flinging into the air. But to no avail…. I was laid waste by x3 full minute long ADs. Do not be a casualty of the ADs like myself and poor old Bobby…
May your future mobile gaming experience be AD free as they were always meant to be.

by OneSkiWonder

Ads are a problem. Way too many ads. I paid to remove ads, and there were still too many, it only removes the forced ads. Then my gun tab started blinking as if it needed attention, but nothing in the tab needed attention and I couldn’t get the alert to disappear. However, I was unable to unlock new guns after that. Hoping to resolve the problem the same way I do with other apps, I deleted and redownloaded the game. All my progress is gone and all the ads are back. Restored purchases and it changed nothing. Not even sure the button is linked to anything. Came to the store page to contact support… the support website linked in the store is “404 not found”. Appears the only links that work for AmmoFever are the links to take your money.

by CraZeDn3wb

I don’t understand why people complain about the ads just turn off your internet and your fine. Beside that the game is pretty good although be prepared to fail because you have to fail to get better at the game. It’s a trail and error game with some grinding and patience. So expect it to take a little while but beside that the game is pretty good. And even if you can’t turn off the ads they only last like 10 seconds then you can skip. I personally enjoy this game it would be 5 star but it heats up my phone and takes some time to get to the next level so 4

by Rrandash

Fun to play. A few ideas to make it better would be stronger upgrades available for the guns, upgrades available for the conveyer belt, and the precision of moving pieces on the board more reliable. By level 7, even with the epic guns fully upgraded, it’s impossible to win unless you view ads for more bullet production boxes. Ads also pop up during play. It is easy to play and quite entertaining but because of ads it gets three stars.

by MgsProFps

Is it me or when I played this first in an ad from another game(s), it plays well. And when I decided to download to give it a try, the graphics are so grainy and underperforms with lag as opposed to the so called “ad version”? I’m more disappointed that this is the “best wifi game ever” and it looks like a kid made this. User interface is also abysmal that just bombard you with so little options to upgrade unless you either buy their package deals or you watch an ad. “Oh you don’t want ads? Buy ‘No Ads’ for this much!” “Oh you want more materials? Watch an ad to get double rewards!” It’s sad that this is the majority of the mobile gaming space that these have so many interruptions for ads during gameplay.

by Sir_Tokoshi

From the very start this game bombards you with adds, which ok, that’s how many mobile games are, sure. But I mean everywhere. The whole business model seems to be put out a low effort game and get users to view as many adds possible before they uninstall. At every chance they get you have the option to double everything by watching an add, but then if you decide not to, they make you watch the add anyways a lot of the time. They also have random 30-45 second adds pop up throughout every game. Not to mention they put in as little effort in as possible in terms of art and style, and the content gets old fast. Don’t waste your time.

by Drews Nickname

Seriously, we don't download games just to watch ads. Far too many developers being cheap with the player hoping that we will download another gamvertisement. It's very annoying. If you are asking for money on these simplistic games, make it worth our while.

What's even worse is that you are forced to watch the ads. The game isn't even that good as they make you fail as you can't afford the in-game currency to pass a level. You fail, watch and ad, start over, fail, and watch another ad. Great job, developers. My patience on this new model of wasting players time has run out. You have earned a one star review. Do better.

by Papieyboi

Game concept is good, n could be fun if it had been finished. This is clearly some college kids proof of concept from school. It doesn’t scale, so can’t really be played as indicated. Ads aside, this is offensive in its presumption and condescension. Paying doesn’t make it better, on account of the glitch n lack of support, n play doesn’t improve with grinding as the game doesn’t have balanced scaling. That apple allows this on their apps store shows their negligence, and the creator having left it as is without improvement, expansion or support shows what they think too. I pity anyone who gives AmmoFever money as it’s creator’s negligence shows a lack of respect for the people who payed for it’s falsely presented purpose.

by Smuglymicweed

I have the vip turret and best in slot turrets for my other 2 turrets and they are all maxed upgraded, but I can’t get past burning volcano. I’ve even watched every single ad I can possibly watch while playing the level and still couldn’t get it. The closest I got was wave 20 by only using 2 turrets instead of 3. My two best turrets. I have no idea where to go from here. I feel like you guys are missing conveyor belt upgrades or something. The conveyor belt can’t keep up with my turrets at all.

by Ryden72

I love the game and this is why I gave it a 4 star. It’s fun you get away from the real world for a while and it’s addictive. But I am at level seven and when I start to play it it starts fine but I only earn $4 and can’t buy any more ammo boxes so I’m only running on 1 ammo box and a bunch of enemies are overwhelming me. I try to reboot my fone and still happens. This needs to be fixed. I’ll try to update the game and get back.
But other than that it’s a fun game.

by ClaudeisMad

The conveyor needs upgrades, Provide a way to permanently upgrade the min level box, and i made it to level 7 ONLY by MAXING my purple guns, and now ON 7 I cannot upgrade further, my other guns are worse, and i get speed blitzed at the start cuz i don’t do enough damage and i don’t get enough bullets. I’m convinced unless you pay for boosters you CANNOT get passed level 7. And why is there a lock on the bottom left?! I swear i should have unlocked whatever that is by now.

by WTBCad83

It’s a really fun game and I really enjoy it, but I keep unlocking new guns and they won’t equip. First time this happened, I tried unequiping all my guns but after that I couldn’t equip them again, which left me defenseless. So I had to redownload the whole game and start over. It was really frustrating and I still can’t equip new guns. So if you could try and fix it if that possible that would be great. It also might be a problem on my end but I’ve tried everything.

by ChuckBologna

The first 5 levels really pulls you in, even in airplane mode. Level 6 is a challenge but you can get through it with a few advertisement awards. Level 7 is impossible to play without ad boosts. You can’t even kill the first wave of enemies to gain money for more ammo with my guns upgraded to level 132, 148, and 148. Ad, get more ammo. Even two 2-blocks isn’t enough damage, you’re halfway dead before you’re on the second wave. More ad boosts. Oh look, here’s a normal add you have to watch because you’ve been playing for 60 seconds. Good game, well for the first 6 levels at least.

by IggyZaabz

First it’s a greedy cash grab with long ads.

Beyond that it’s incredibly boring. You watch turrets shoot with limited cash gains so you’re ammo starved at the start. You then can get a choice of one minor power up or watch a minute long ad for all three. Hope you kill fast enough to buy more ammo to continue. Then if you make it towards the end have more ammo than your turrets naturally fire so you get to tap the screen rapidly. Don’t worry though. If you buy their upgrades it’s a lot easier. Except it’s still boring.

by Ridderon49

Not a bad time-waster, although it can definitely feel a bit mindless at times. What I really don’t like though, is how slow the conveyor belt transfers ammo, as it’s unable to transfer even 12 rounds a second, very frequently resulting in a massive stockpile when the turrets are crying for ammo on the other end. The transport rate also doesn’t increase when the 3x fast forward is active, which makes things even worse when waiting for more cash. Please increase the throughput rate of the belt to 16 or 20 shots a second, and have the throughput rate scale correctly with timerate.

by Disappointed_123456789

So many ads, literally every click forces you to watch an ad except for when you’re upgrading your turrets. There is no other settings available in the game other than the privacy policies which does not even working when clicking on it. There’s not profile settings, sound, or any settings like other games. Turrets is already ‘MAXED’ out but still alerting that it needs upgrade but there’s nothing to click or do. The ‘Burning Volcano’ level is terrible because it doesn’t give you money to purchase ammo after enemy is killed so you’re stuck with a low 2 bullet ammo only that you can’t even add more or upgrade it. Very terrible game.

by Pops2015

This game is so much fun and I can see myself playing this game for hours. BUT there are too many random pop up ads and makes the game boring. This game would be great if we’re not for the pop up ads. On addition after every other pop up ad the game try’s to force the $3.99 ad free. I’m deleting the game because of the pop up ads. I hope the company can fix this problem. But I have no faith in humanity to make a free, fun, and random pop up ad free. It’s all about money to these companies and that’s fine. But forcing you customers to buy something they don’t want to pay for is just the dumbest thing you can do. Let the customers pick when to choose an ad and we’ll like you more to where we may want to pay the $3.99. Hope you succeed in life

by Sub To Nice_Riley

Great game but you can still have a game that doesn’t flood you with ads, you can have a future where if you watch an ad, you get a special buff for the next game, and can be stackable up to five, therefore you can get ad revenue without the ads annoying your player base, also just remove the idiotic ad on the bottom of the screen, no one likes em’.

IMPORTANT! With the ads being a large part of the issue with the game, people will turn on airplane mode to avoid your ads, which will then give y’all no money as ads can’t play without internet, and if you make internet a requirement, you’ll lose a large portion of your player base. But beside the annoying ads, the game is great 👍

Also, it looks like most of your five stars are boted, they have random names and one of the reviews was just a long string of w’s.

by Bobby_41

Pretty much following the same tangent here: the game is mindless fun, and I thoroughly enjoy mobile games like these. For $4 it’s kind of whatever, but there isn’t much of an investment in the game in general. You have a good game here. It’s fun, it’s mindless. It’s quite literally a game that you would only play when you’re sitting in a doctor’s office or on a long road trip/flight. There’s no reason to have it riddled with as many ads as there are.

I’m cool with an ad every now and then, but when it happens after every win, after every death, during the waves of the level you’re on, there needs to be a line drawn. It quite literally got annoying and I lost all interest in continuing further.

I also agree with what others have said in regards to the conveyor belt: there needs to be a better way of upgrading it. During the level, you hardly get anywhere near the amount needed to unlock the extra spaces (especially in the earlier levels(it’s hardly needed that early on in general)). Not to mention the ads needed to watch in order to unlock some of those spaces.

Originally I was rating this a 2/5. I’ll be generous and give a 3/5 because I enjoyed it enough as it is. This is all in hopes that this review gains some traction and changes are made.
