Comments on Lock's Quest for Android

★★★★★ Robert P. · Oct 5, 2019
I loved this game as a kid, on the Nintendo DS. It has a great story, interesting gameplay mechanics, fantastic soundtrack, and is a unique twist on tower defense games. I truly believe this game never got the full recognition that it deserved. Especially considering this game was developed by 5th Cell, the company that created games such as Drawn to Life and Scribblenauts. Although the mobile port doesn't quite hold up to the original, I still highly recommend this game to everyone.
★★★★☆ Mr. One-Up · Jun 22, 2021
I would have given this a 5 star, but there is no option to build the defense, traps etc but to just place them like a regular defense tower game. This is a remastered version, but it is not 100% like the original I remember playing in my childhood
★☆☆☆☆ Robert Randolph · Apr 8, 2024
Crashes as soon as I go to build. Crashes continue multiple times making game unplayable.
★★☆☆☆ Ryan Spak · Apr 3, 2020
I wanted to like this game, but it just doesn't do it for me. The style and feel of the game are great, but the battles are tedious and repetitive. You have to repeatedly fight the same enemies on the same map with no story progression in between. The battle mechanics are more annoying than interesting (the button hit combos, "ratcheting" to repair, etc.) and the battles weren't even challenging, so you're pretty much just killing time until the game lets you move on. And how is this an RPG?
★☆☆☆☆ Vito Vargas · Jun 21, 2022
I was excited to play this game, but I'm at the tutorial, and I can push the red button to start the fight it's super irritating please help
★★☆☆☆ Dan W · Apr 13, 2025
I was very excited to play this game. Looked like a nice hybrid RPG and RTS, instead all it's been is a tedious grind. Progression is old turtle slow, controls suck, really bad. Instructions on using powers, non-existent. Tap on lightning and a button at bottom and button on action array appear, tapping either or both didn't seem to do anything. The story reads like it was written by someone raised by wolves. I stopped trying to enjoy after realizing it just felt like work

Prepare your defenses and battle against the Clockwork horde in the next generation remake of the critically acclaimed console title, Lock’s Quest! You play as Lock, a boy who stumbles upon an invasion of his village, which triggers a wider war between Kingdom Force and a revived Clockwork Army, led by the nefarious Lord Agony.

A gripping story unfolds as you progress through 75 days of warfare, across a dozen unique maps, aided by a collection of turrets, traps and special attacks. Experience the game in unprecedented quality, with a first-class soundtrack, new high-resolution portraits, and revised gameplay.

Features:
● PLAY WITHOUT ADS!
● Place Kingdom Force units to defend your capitol in a brand new Endless Mode - Antonia Defense!
● Build up your fortifications each day to defend against a timed Clockwork assault. Use dozens of Turrets, Traps, and Helpers to stop the advance.
● Fight alongside your defenses, using context-sensitive Special Attacks, and devastating Super Attacks, which impact a wide range of enemies.
● Unlock the secrets of Kingdom Force and the Archineers via an engrossing story with a multi-character cast, told by hand-drawn cinematics and cutscenes.
● Full tablet support
