Just hated it having made the mistake of buying before I tried.
Played for a couple of hours and then deleted it.
I don't recommend this game.

Toy Defense was good, the Fantasy version brilliant and then they produce this pile of rubbish.
Too slow, too easy, not engaging.
I don't recommend this game.

The best of the Toy Defense games by far; even better than the Fort Defense games.

Each level has only one path, deviate from it and you get stuck. Only option is to restart the level and try to work out what to do before you start. Then you become a robot for the rest of the level.
About as enjoyable as having a root canal.
I don't recommend this game.

Have finished all of the Caribbean on Hard setting before I realised that you can upgrade spells and booty related elements of the game! Arctic Ocean is much harder.
Occasional crashes when trying to use barrels to buy a tower.
Some tower bases need to be bought with barrels and this works intermittently at best; since some of these are in strategic locations this makes the game very hard in places.
I recommend this game!

The inability to queue actions makes this game harder; I wonder if it was a deliberate choice? The later sections need some serious planning if you are to achieve your goal never mind get 3 stars.
The mini-games are pants; killing a dragon by repeated clicking on a bow shape is an insult to the players skill and intelligence.
I recommend this game!

Brilliant game for just dipping into every now and then when you have a spare 10 minutes.
If you liked any of the 'Flo' games or Chloe's Dream Resort you will love this. Expert status is quite difficult to achieve.
I recommend this game!

Once you have beaten Vercingetorix (about half way through) the game becomes too easy. One tower type domintaes the game after a couple of upgrades and just obliterates the opposition.
Startup instructions are hopeless.
Very poor value for money.
I don't recommend this game.
