Bandito -> Chuck
Ichi -> Gargantula
Fang -> Scorchion
Eye-Ra -> Boomer
Zafreeti -> Destronaut
Octo-Ooze (monster roles have changed, in Unleashed Octo -Ooze is a healer and Zafreeti is an aerial bomber) -> Healix
Differences From The Original Version[]
- Many Defensive buildings, and all the monsters have been re-attributed to mirror thos in Clash of Clans
- Bandito (now called Chuck) is now a ranged attacker and is second to be unlocked.
- Zafreeti (now called Destronaut) is an aerial ranged ATTACKER and primarily targets defensive towers.
- Fang (now called Scorchion) is now a ranged attacker.
- The Octo-Ooze (now called Healix) is a healer and heals ally monsters.
- Eye-Ra (now called Boomer) now attacks the NEAREST TARGET, not walls. However, it deals 2x damage to any walls standing in the way.
- There are new weapons called "bombs" which resemble needles. They are earned from Campaign Mode or (rarely) from picking mushrooms.
- Champions were omitted, but the Champion Lair was released on February 12th, but only includes Drull and Korath.
- Shiny can be purchased in different amounts from the desktop version.
- Only 2 resources are available: Twigs and Goo. Putty and Pebbles were both removed from game, to make progress slower and spending shiny more appealing.
- The designs of the monsters when they are attacking are similar to the modern artwork, the ones on the desktop version are like the older artworks.
- The design of Moloch is used as a wild monster tribe in the overworld not in inferno.
- There now is a build limit for hatcheries which is one.
