User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the game as fun, visually engaging, and a strong time-killer with smooth play and solid graphics. However, many reviewers criticize the monetization model, noting you can only stay competitive if you spend large amounts; they cite pay-to-win, random drops favoring newer heroes, and perceived cheating. Some also complain about a cluttered main screen filled with purchasing options, ads or reward prompts, and a sense of throttling progression. Support responsiveness is questioned in dealing with issues. Overall, addictive and appealing but weighed down by monetization, balance, and UI concerns.

Pros

Fun and addictive gameplay that serves as a strong time killer.
Relaxing and easy to pick up.
Visually appealing with great graphics and detailed character designs.

Cons

Heavy monetization and pay-to-win elements that can require large spending to stay competitive.
Unfair balance and RNG issues (OP heroes, random drops) and perceived cheating in PvP.
Cluttered main screen with many monetization options and prompts.
Support responsiveness concerns regarding issues and cheating.

Recent reviews

How are there so many positive reviews on this?! Boring as all get out. You have to exit out of 10 offers when you log in before playing. No rhyme or reason for anything. The battle aspect is as dumb as our previous administration. Can’t delete this game fast enough 😂

On to region 4 (not far at all for the game) and already at a hard lock where I have to wait for hours to get minimum resources, maxed my base as well. Used all resource bundles to overhaul heroes to max lvl and ascend. Funny thing that made zero difference. It’s like raid with puzzles except one legendary hero lvl 1 will wipe max level of any lower star level for perspective in raids. It feels like a cash grab, pump more money in to progress past your extremely slow and time consuming resource production.
