Challenging and fun, right from the start if you don’t play smart you’ll have a tough time. So the replay value is there for sure. Edit:But I don’t understand how it makes sense for the developers to give you characters that have 25 HP total or at most 40-50 hp, and then put enemies who are ranged and hit you for 72 from 7 spaces away, making it almost pointless to do the level the first few times because you will 100% not win. May need to tweak the early game to be more new player friendly because it could definitely turn people off from playing.Edit :Once you start to really think it’s very fun.

This game was outstanding at first. But after a while, I kept getting stuck on the same levels just getting one shot by higher level characters (even if they weren’t higher level they’d still probably one shot and even if you keep using the same 3 characters for xp). Luckily you don’t HAVE to pay for any currencies and there’s ways to get everything, it appears. However, the amount of gold I started to keep needing to revive my characters was quickly depleting and required to keep beating the levels. It maybe the strategy to get you hooked in and then to pay. I would be down to pay money for other cool characters but not for progression. Thought about giving this a lower rating considering how frustrating it is I am going to have to drop the game. But it is the best/closest game to Fall Seal on mobile and it’s so close to being exactly what I was looking for.

Updated to respond to developer By the end of the tutorial characters are level 4 with two item slots open for each. With random free chests and loot you will maybe have an item for each character unless you have spent gold on random loot boxes until you can fully equip your starter team. The following battles have enemies that one shot every team member including the tank unless you spend gold on the recommended +40% health boost before combat.Most of the positive reviews seem to be one liners most likely written by the developers “great game” or “my friends told me about this game and now I play it 24/7.”To the negative reviews they respond with flat out lies and blame the player for pointing out the pay to win money trap. It’s probably possible to dance around kiting enemies for the first few levels but it is a flaw in game design when the tank character can’t take a hit without buying a health boost before combat.End updateOne star for developers replying to someone’s review that this is a money dump game by laughing and saying there is nothing to BUY to win in this game.By the 4th battle your characters are absurdly weak compared to the enemy unless you have bought speed ups for building your town and loot chests hoping for good random items.This is normal in these mobile games but it is really disheartening to have read your response that you don’t know of anything you can buy in the game only to sink an hour into the game to find out that pretty much the only way to succeed is to buy things.

The battle system, if you can even call it that, is flawed. You move up to 3 heroes to get energy. Each hero only gets 4 moves and you can’t move backwards…huh? You need to collect enough energy to use your attack skills. The AI seems to always get extra movement, has heroes that use skills right away, and can often times one shot my heroes from long range. The town building…oh boy, you can only build on building at a time and it takes a day+ to finish. I can’t even look at my quest log while the building is being built…that makes zero sense.There is a lot to do in this game, unfortunately it is all centered on spending on in-game currency and watching hundreds of ads.As a big fan of the classic Heroes of Might & Magic PC games, this one is a bad attempt at recreating that turn based rpg greatness.
