The Machines 12+

Awesome game but hard at the start

I love the concept and the graphics as well as the sound effects. It really makes for a wonderfully immersive experience. Only main issue is how well the game explains things to you. For example, what are the exact requirements so I win a match or when do I unlock the other heroes? Also, I don’t know if it’s just me but I can never manage to get much damage at all on the opponents base with the excessive amounts of troops and defensive towers. I find myself usually defending the entire game without being able to actually attack. So maybe lessen that a bit? Another minor issue is that I think the trainer is too hard. Usually it’s an easy victory in most games but in this case, it’s HARD. I’m sure once I get a hang of things it will be much more enjoyable. However, these things make the start pretty annoying. However, overall, this game functions very well while looking awesome.

(Updated) Multiplayer is working now...

Original Review: Purchased this game to play locally with friends and family during the holiday’s. After going through all the tutorials and getting all devices set up to play, the multiplayer map will launch just fine. However, the bases and “hero’s” do not load and map just sits there. I tried waiting for it, but nothing ever loads. Very disappointed in a $5 game that Apple praised as “revolutionary”, and doesn’t work as advertised.

***Updated: After swapping to another WiFi connection the multiplayer began working very well. I have been able to play against family over the past few days, and enjoy the capabilities of the game. The developer did contact me and worked to resolve the issue which is appreciated. However, the first couple of WiFi connections and the cellular signal were not adequate to handle this game over the air. The game is very engaging and entertaining, and the local multiplayer really makes it a great game!

Very exciting! wanting more!

The game I didn’t know I needed! Love the game, love how when I get closer to the actual areas of fighting those sounds get louder, I love the mechanics, I love the visuals, but I want more! On your website it doesn’t tell us anything yet, but I want to know... can we currently unlock the other heroes? (If so I don’t know how) Will there be more maps? Will there be 2v2? And I wish I could choose to play a friend even on local WiFi or something, there’s also no way to communicate with anyone else on the game, not even a forum, so hard to connect to the community. Seems a shame, but the game is sooooo fun, I just want a little more content, especially with my money’s, potentially would love to pay for (or get for free wink wink ;))more skins/win effects (like both robots high five) and maps. Since it’s a paid app of course not so many iap but please use our money and give us more content cause Id love to play my friends and destroy in this fun game.
