Archer Forest : Idle Defense

Good game rewards diamonds pretty well. Only thing was once reaching the 3rd stage the progress really slows to a near standstill. Rebirthing doesn't feel very rewarding as the increases don't really get you more than an extra stage or 2 at that point. And the fact you need to leave the game constantly running to gain anything really doesn't work for me. So 3 stars for the steep difficulty increase and needing to keep the game open 24/7.

I love this game and it seems like devs are actually listening to problems presented by users. Most updates are to improve the interface. There are bugs and some clear p2w designs but I never feel like I *need* to buy anything and while progress can stagnate it's still fun in the interim. Also customer service is lacking but at least it exists. Plus ads are optional not forced

The enjoyment in this game comes from being able to progress. However, after a certain point, it'll take months before you're able to progress any further. In other words, it gets way too slow. Furthermore, there are too many systems and mechanics that try to give the illusion of progressing, but even those are plagued by RNG with abysmal success rates.

Would love to play but can't get past the main splash screen. When I select to not allow notifications, it says to restart the game. When I do, it either sits at 0% loading, says to restart again, or asks to allow notifications again then to restart the game when declined. I don't want notifications from games. Not unreasonable.

Initially fun and able to progress but at a certain point it basically becomes paywalled. I've probably spent at least $50 overall on this including the removing ads and daily rewards (VIP at level 2 of 9 and level 3 is $35!) and am basically at a point where trying to acquire the primary currency for advancement (black diamonds) is impossible without paying, then if you do have them there is a 75% chance to lose them. It shouldn't be a gamble when using a premium currency!

Do not recommend downloading. If you do, do not make any purchases. Had to buy ad blocker pack twice before I got the ad blocker. Tried contacting them after first purchase and never got a response, refund, or fix to the issue. Bought it the second time just to see if id get it then and did. Then I updated today and game crashes as soon as it finishes loading.

Cute characters and fun for a time but there's nothing idle about it. If you don't keep the app open, like with an emulator, it will not do practically anything. It also requires numerous tedious activities for dailies. And that is even with everything I paid to remove ads and such. It is also set up in the most unintuitive way, with practically no tutorial whatsoever, so you're left to figure out everything on your own. Basically, an unfun slog of a grind with no reward in sight.

The game is really really fun at first but then the rewards vs cost of upgrades (or any progress) scale is horribly broken around the second set of islands. I almost always buy no-ads and some small packs in games, and have in this one as well, but it should be possible to advance/keep playing without serious money spending. Some key mechanics are completely unobtainable without spending hefty money. Hard to stick with a game that feels impossible when you're not made of money.

I love this game through and through. Been hooked for several days now without a stop. Have experience a bug though where you watch an advertisement for extra items and after the ad the screen goes black and you have to restart the game without your rewards. Other than that a very fun and enjoyable game if you're bored! I highly recommend! 😊 4/5 stars due to the bug I encounter in addition to other bugs others encounter as well.

Riddled with ads. I purchased the $7 ad blocking feature and didn't receive it. I reached out to the developer, and have not gotten a responsse. Edit: Finally got a response after almost a year. The only thing they would do is reactivate it in the game instead of refunding me. I have long since abandoned the game and refused to spend money considering I pay for something I didn't receive for almost a year's time.

This is like most idle games- quick at first with a decent hook. However after some time, it becomes not only impossible to advance without paying a lot, but in fact you can spend A LOT of money for upgrade items that only have a small chance of working but when they (often) fail, will leave you worse off than when you made the purchase. That's right- you can pay $20+ for items, use them, and be weaker for it. Freebies dry up and the quests for diamonds just stop eventually. Avoid at all costs

Fun at first, but just becomes repetitive, barely making progress. The "quest" you can do is just a loop of "watch an ad", "click this manu times", "press this many times", "kill this many enemies", "watch and ad", etc. But I've been stuck on "watch an ad" for almost 3 weeks as I get the "advertisement is not ready yet" every time. Also loads very slow, and some times have to load and immediatrestart sometimes as it has to install updates almost every day. Enjoy for a week or two then move on.

Bad graphics, interesting concept. I played for a while. Extremely expensive to progress, never get responses from customer support. Last update set everyone back by a at least a year of progress after they fixed a "bug". Stay away definitely wasn't worth all the time I put into it. It's a game of 1000 menus and every one of them takes time to load. Stupid mini games and they keep adding more, badly designed and the development is worse

I really like the game play of this game. Yes it's a bit micro transaction heavy but I found some deals worth it for me. My problem comes with the loading times and the almost debilitating lag when you enter and switch to different areas in the game. I had hoped that updates would help this but things have only gotten worse over the months . I'm basically out real $$ for a game that is mostly unplayable.

I enjoyed this game much more, but they keep focusing on adding new content and content that isn't needed while not addressing connectivity. That's great that new stuff is added, but in tired of seeing "processing request" across the screen, not allowing me to do anything else with every thing I try to do. The most recent update seems to have broken the chat system, or maybe I'm just not sitting on the screen long enough for it to load. Maybe it takes 5 minutes.

This game is trash. Any 4 or 5 star review has to be paid for or incentivized. The game requires heavy monetary investment to progress. After arrow level 1000 it is impossible to make meaningful progress without real money The devs constantly add new currencies that require monetary investment The game's infrastructure is also horrible. It is slow, requires multiple seconds of "processing request" for ANY type of collecting of items, and often the UI breaks and requires reloading Avoid it.

Between the side quest bar requiring you to watch ads and my personal game glitching and no longer letting me do the world boss, a terrible game. Idle games do not need guilds! Let alone two different versions! The glitch happened when my wifi cut off at almost the same time the event started. Waited HOURS just to test it. I can't join anymore, period.
