I want to love this game as much as I did when I first downloaded it in the 2010s. I recently returned after not playing for a while, and it started me fresh and made me complete the tutorial before I could recover my original game. The game is surprisingly slow now. The game loads slowly and frequently freezes on loading screens, and afaik the only fix for this is restarting the game. I'd rate it much higher if I didn't spend more time waiting on it to load than actually playing the game.

pretty fun, I've played for a year or two now. clearly originally in a diff language, the translation isnt great. there's an absolutely overwhelming amount of information that sometimes makes sense, and they keep adding more and more features that you have to pay attention to or you won't be able to progress. you definitely need to Google guides to be able to play. you'd have to pay so much money to actually be competitive in pvp.

The difference between Classic and Companions is confusing, especially for a new player. Companions is newer and what the game defaults to for new installs, but - while it has many QoL improvements - it has far less content. Classic is the original game with all the numerous heros and crossovers, but paid MTX are separate between the two.

Great game and i absolutely loved it. The reason it has such a low rating is because my YEARS old account is now gone without my permission. I was trying to sign into my old account because i hadn't gotten to play in almost a year. It wouldn't let me and my email had been disconnected from the account. The only option it had was delete. I did NOT click delete. I decided to uninstall and retry and now the account is gone. Years of experience and effort gone.

It gets really repetitive and you stop progressing for long periods of time once you need to ascend your heroes. Pulling duplicate characters is really difficult and there's no real events for you to play unless you have already maxed out your heroes levels. Began to feel like a chore so I am uninstalling. 2 stars for the art.

It is a solid experience but punishes more financially challenged players. Meta characters can take longer than they are meta for to build(upwards of 3 months at times) with some of them. If you aren't prepared to spend money in the game then I don't recommend it. Especially with how long the game has been out, the free to play experience is full of fomo and being punished by pay to win players. I have been playing for 2 years and still have that problem and I have put money into the game.

For starters I'm f2p 4 years. The game isn't too bad. Nice graphics and cool character designs. It's a f2p game where you don't have to spend any mone. If youre like me even as a low spender be ready for slow progress if you don't want to spend as long waiting for progress. It's been about 5 months sense I've made substantial progression in the game and I'm currently feeling very stuck. I have trouble ascending my main hero line up past level 160 and its starting to become an issue.I feel stuck.

Updating, because things need to change. First and foremost, I love this game, so it hurts to 1* it. But Lilith is making absolutely TERRIBLE decisions for game balance and accessibility, and is basically ignoring player feedback about the game-breaking issues currently at work. The new faction is gated behind a MASSIVE pay wall that even big spenders are staring at in shock. They crammed 3 years of progression into 1 and left players high and dry for resources and robbed us of our enjoyment.

Gave it a shot recently because I wanted to try and idle RPG out and the game has a good art style. It's kind of fun at first and progression happens quickly at early levels but once you hit level 140 you're basically hard capped without luck, grinding, or paying. The game will constantly pester you with pay 2 win bundles to boost your progress but due to the hard caps I mentioned in progression you'll need to pay a lot to get past this wall or invest a lot of time.

This app has a variety of game modes and tasks to do and the art style is astounding, but it's very easy to hit walls as a f2p especially after you finish chapter 30. I'm currently in my server's leaderboards but probably not for long. Overall really great game I just don't recommend going to the Global or English channels there's a lot of creeps running rampant. There's no real way of getting rid of them without punishing the community by depriving them of chat and image privileges.
