Comments on Tactical War 2: Tower Defense for Android
★★★★★Sriharish Srikanth· Feb 7, 2026
I've played Tactical War 1 and loved it, they just made this game so much better, it's much better balanced and Tactical War 1 I used to breeze through levels and just spam with the Sniper tower, but they added so many mechanics to this game that doing that is impossible. Great game again!
★★★★★Kyle Ward· Mar 29, 2026
Loved the original and TW2 just expanded on the stuff I enjoyed from TW1. Looking forward to the Empire expansion. I think the creaters have nailed a balance between simplicity and engaging. There's harder challenges in the new one. Can be frustrating at times but also makes the wins more rewarding once you figure it out. 4x speed would be great but otherwise would only ask for more levels to keep it going. Well done!
★★★★☆Daniel· Mar 15, 2026
Waaay more difficult than v1. You don't get any bonuses for harder. Versions of levels of the same stage. I've been barely scratching by on "easy" and then doing the."challenge" stages as they come. Really missing those radar towers, .too! Still a really good game. A bit too challenging for the rewards, tho. Wish they'd had a middle-tier between the 2. Cuz this game is set on HARD. STILL 4/5* Do check out their Death Rover. It's not exciting but it's kinda fun.
★☆☆☆☆Daz Greenwood· Mar 28, 2026
Too much of a grind and not enough fun. The first one was better by far.
★☆☆☆☆Fragheund S· May 12, 2026
First game is five stars. This is one star. So difficult. You can't win without spending massive resources.
★☆☆☆☆River Phoenix· Feb 14, 2026
As others have said the game gets too hard very quickly. The adding of planes just ruins the structure of a turret defense game and just becomes an unnecessary annoying part of the game. The game would be much better and levels balanced without having to build turret defenses for shooting down the planes. I refuse to spend money got to level 15 and gave up. I'll give them a couple of weeks to update the game and delete the planes, or I'll be deleting and forgetting about this game forever.
