Punko io Reviews

This game is a pay to win type of game. First days of playing it’s easy/medium hard. Once you play for a while it’s impossible to win any of the matches. I’ve spent around 30 dollars already and still can’t get anywhere. The gems they give you is slim to none which makes it so much harder. This game is way too hard and is definitely a pay to win game. If you want to play for more than a week don’t download. Fun for the first week nothing more.

It was fun at first then it quickly becomes pay to play and win. The best treasure chests still drop uncommons, the progression system is a complete joke like they don’t even hide the fact they’re trying to take your money when those treasure chests guarantee a unique drop after 50 tries but you only get 50 tries if you pay real money for it and even after you pay they still want to make it just enough to where you get the bare minimum so you’re forced to pay more. I understand micro transactions are a thing and I even paid a couple times myself to show support but they’re taking advantage of that and putting a dollar sign on everything

The game is ok but the ads are literally over 2 minutes long, 60s video, then X out into another version of same ad wait for 15s, X out again into playable ad and have to wait again to X out only the X just pops up the game page, have to click done out of that only to finally close the ad. Most games have a 30s cap on ads but this truly egregious.

Even worse than old school television ads, at least those you would automatically pass.

Currently there’s a bug where the “quick earnings” are not resetting daily. This is ridiculous especially if you pay for the monthly gold card. Can’t even use all the energy’s you get because these quick earnings aren’t resetting properly.

The base game and mechanics are fun, but it stops just about there. You can’t even complete your daily missions without having to spend money. How does that even make sense that you have to spend money to complete the daily missions. You also can’t do 2x speed unless you buy the monthly golden pass, which is $10 why not make 2x speed free and 3x speed with the golden pass. Not being able to complete the missions every day will be what causes me to stop playing this game along with the no 2x speed.

At first it seems fun but then it’s a grind.

The upgrade system (outside of battle) is bad. Barely even helps the hero

Upgrading gear costs way too much, especially too early on

It would be nice to upgrade mana. Either starting mana or mana rate

Enemies targeting is inconsistent. They don’t always attack the closest or ones close to the wall

Cooldowns are unnecessary. It’s fine for spells though it takes way too long. Shouldn’t have to wait to place units

Give me one unit to start with, possibly a free one. I’ve started too many plays with the sharpshooter which costs 10 mana. Can’t even use it because it costs too much

Consider a load out for characters. With the random 3 card upgrade I’ll get upgrades for units I don’t have out on the field but had to choose earlier incase I might need them

I loved this game all until chapter 5. There was no possible way to prepare for the first boss which completely tanks through all of your towers and kills you within 10 seconds. I upgraded everything as much as I can but got obliterated. Also I understand it is free to play but the pay to win is so in your face on top of the lack of content which makes it completely not worth it. If you fix these issues I will change my rating and review.

In game the upgrades won’t allow me to select , the. The game phantom upgrades it while not allowing the towers to Upgrade staying at one star the whole time , doesn’t matter how many times I upgrade something. Got stuck in a level for a while because the boss glitches and stayed atop the screen barely in view, luckily I had spells to slowly kill him as he wasn’t moving , and it was a final boss. Lots of bugs to work through , don’t understand the kill enemies daily challenge for the pass when it doesn’t register anything . Lots of bugs to fix !

This game is amazing, except when it cheapens a loss by not giving you any usable towers to select from for a while.

I’ve literally gone 10-15 waves, barely hanging on with not a single player offensive tower provided as a selection.

It would be one thing if you could deploy several towers once you get one, but you’ll be sitting there with full mana, finally getting a tower you can use and still have to wait for the “cool down” to deploy more than one.

I like challenging TD games, but not so much when they’re hard just because the game is being ridiculousluy “cheap” with what you can use on a board.

.IO games are solid and tend to get better over time but even then it would be 4/5. The tower defense is fun but once you shortly get the grip of it it doesn’t stand out from regular TD games from a mechanical and a little lacking in the customization POV although the graphics, animations and feel is good as they always are.
Low gatcha rates at expensive prices is a .IO staple. After 3 days I can say the tower rate drops aren’t balanced as I often had difficulty getting the stronger towers to appear and had just a hard time leveling. Out of the 5 towers/ skills you can get each game you often rely on 1 or 2 of those choices so RNG plays a heavy roll especially when your option are only the lower powered towers for 15+ levels. Auto targeting won’t switch to threats once it locks on cause multiple losses and over killing targets are both pitfalls most TD games avoid.
Lastly as I said earlier if the devs keep up this game will be 4/5 hopefully better but as is it is a fun pick up and play for a few days and move on.

Love the TD type of game, love the evolve feature like vampire survivor, and the punk theme is funny. But there is an issue with game play. TD is fun because the strategy of choosing tower and placing them. However in this game, drafting tower and skill by leveling up is very RNG based, it’s very hard to get the tower you want and upgrade them. Eventually the game become RNG, if you don’t get the right tower or upgrade by certain time it’s GG.
It can at least should give 1 upgrade and 2 new item from each draft, like in vampire survivors

I finished all 35 levels and from what I’ve learned is the game can be fun, but without being able to ban things later on it gets REALLY annoying with the amount of stuff you’ll get to choose from every level. Devs either need to increase experience at higher levels or add a ban feature. You’ll find yourself playing 5-10 games and never being able to evolve anything because you never get to choose it to level it up.
Please fix this.

The production value of the game is great, but early in the game you’ll see that the random allocation of defense units determines whether you can beat the level or not. I got a bad unit at the beginning of stage 3, lost, and uninstalled the game.

First off the games fun and I recommend playing it. Just minor things

Truthful review: Games concept is great, love the layout and way of upgrades during the gameplay, sadly wish there was a way to upgrade the towers in general.
Especially when the game only gives me the basic towers during my level up. Also the hero/armor is brilliant, helps out when you’re stuck with weak towers at start.
Secondly if there was a way to scrap/combine non used armor/weapons that are just sitting in my storage would be amazing.

All in all will continue to play the game to see how much it changes over time.

I love this game cool towers good gameplay but I would give it five stars if it wasn’t chapter 6 when am at the final boss when I get killed and revive myself I just get killed again I wish it can be nerfed but it can’t really to the developers please nerf the boss on chapter 6

Sometimes the ads don’t show the X, and it’s usually when I’m watching an ad for a revive instead of paying 100 gems. Besides that it’s a great game.

One of the best games out there. It’s still in development so there’s not much cards but I rest recommend it. Hopefully they add lots of new cards and items soon!

It’s really fun and I wasn’t sure of how I would like it at first but it turned out I really like it and the developers did an awesome job.

Really enjoy this game!!
It’s probably in my crazy mind but some of the enemies are demon DJ Trumps and the vehicles look like cyber trucks. Sooo I really love destroying them!! Please let me be delusional if that’s not what they are! ❤️

So far so good . I’ve only been playing for a day but there are no complaints
