1. [R4] 5/5 · US F2P friendly!: This game’s original art style and gameplay is top notch! I can see myself playing this for a long time. And, it’s completely F2P with optional ads. I’m loving the game so far. :>
2. [R17] 4/5 · US Decent game with engaging mechanics: Honestly I never leave reviews for things cause nothing is ever that amazing. But this game, I have been playing it literally since day one unfortunately I don’t have my old account I was able to proceed past what I had originally. This game has it all, it’s got the laziness for when you just want to be op and see your favorite “almost” heroes get stronger and
3. [R21] 5/5 · US Super fun: Relaxing, fun, idle game. Normal idle games get boring but this one doe not.
4. [R36] 5/5 · US Fun: Great replayability
5. [R14] 5/5 · US Almost a Legend: Game is pretty awesome. Reminiscent of old school mmos, one can enjoy the solo play as well as have space and time to think. Love that it’s not a needing attended game. Also game grants many rewards so not pay to win.
6. [R105] 5/5 · AU Developers - thank you!: Almost A Hero is one of the best idle games out there and one of the best games I’ve tried on iPad (I’ve tried many). I was worried there would be paywalls or constant ads, but instead the player gets to choose when to watch the ads and the rewards are often worth it! For an idle game it has a fun, addictive level of interactivity, the art style is nice, the voice acting i
7. [R110] 5/5 · AU Super Fun, Super Addictive...: Almost a hero is a fantastic game. It involves lots of tapping, upgrading characters and getting through as many waves as possible. It is a great game to play when you’re bored because it is naturally extremely interesting and fun. Plus, I don’t believe there are any adds because I have never encountered one in the game. The humour and differences with characters i
8. [R20] 5/5 · US Nice game to be bored: I’d like the game because it has good graphics and gameplay and the music and the power ups and level ups. It’s really nice. Keep it up.
9. [R23] 3/5 · US Decent game, but pushy with micro transactions: I play incremental/idle games in my spare time, and this one is pretty good. The art is cartoony, but has a real sense of character. The different heroes you can use and their different forms are usually interesting and easy to tell-apart at a glance. Different game modes make good use of the increasing complexity of different game systems (heroes, g
10. [R53] 5/5 · CA Fun clicker: Nice graphics, voice effects. Enjoying it so far.
11. [R55] 5/5 · CA One of the Best Tap Game: The amount of content this game has is amazing. The challenges bring an amazing new pace I didn't see in other games
12. [R6] 1/5 · US Still Bugged: Game was great for a bit. But game locking bug still exists.
13. [R19] 1/5 · US Can’t load cloud saves.: When I go to load cloud save the game just freezes and crashes. Disappointing.
14. [R22] 1/5 · US Crash: Crash at loading on 90%
15. [R35] 4/5 · US It’s great, but…: I did enjoy playing the game. The only downside I had was that the game would often freeze or even crash once or twice.
16. [R1] 1/5 · US Login error: I played for a month normally, then it said "Oops, it seems an error occurred." Please fix it. · translated
17. [R5] 1/5 · US One problem: Sometimes when I log on it puts up a popup to purchase a character. I can’t click off of this popup no matter how many times I click the X button. I have to force close the game and reopen it. It’s really unprofessional if this was done on purpose. If it’s an error then it should get fixed right away. Kids may think they have to actually buy content in order to play which is very unet
18. [R9] 1/5 · US Frozen: Ive been playing for a while now and really enjoyed the game. However, ive been getting a pop up as soon as i open it now for a character to purchase and I can’t close the pop up. I tried to delete and redownload but the game refuses to let me go past the purchase.
19. [R26] 4/5 · US Too many bugs, lost my purchases.: Stuck on using spirits since the game won’t acknowledge I passed level 125. A software update messed up my phone, but a reinstall had made game start fresh. No saved games in iCloud and Apple won’t refund me. Just a scam all around. Loved playing, though. The character background lore was my favorite.
20. [R11] 2/5 · US Untrustworthy: The game is fun, I’ve played it multiple times throughout the years. But don’t trust their micro transaction deals. I had one pop up and tell me it was on sale for 1.99 so I bought it. But it charged me 14.42. It’s also not the first time it’s happened with this game. So I won’t be buying anymore of their micros transactions and I suggest you do the same.
21. [R70] 1/5 · CA Ate my money: I had a lot of fun with this game until one day it didn't give me blue gems caused me to pay $60 for nothing. I report the problem but had no respond.
22. [R84] 3/5 · CA Okay: The game runs pretty well on 5s newest update. But when I went to go buy gems it said it confirmed but I didn't get any gems😡! Please fix. Thank you.
23. [R104] 4/5 · AU You scammed me!: I have bought the 2.99 gems package and never got the 500 gems!u scammer!
24. [R28] 1/5 · US Great game - broken ads: I haven’t played in a few days, I login and queue up the ad to increase my away earnings, and it errors out, leaving me with NO AWAY EARNINGS AT ALL. Fix your game and give me what I earned, uninstalling until then.
25. [R47] 4/5 · US Crashing: The game keeps crashing most times I log in after it has been a while since I was on, there is a bar and bubbles at the bottom of my screen and a dragon logo, coins, and an exit button at the top. It looks like parts of a screen from a time challenge. When I try to press on things it just crashes and I have to exit the app. I am also forced to watch an ad whenever I log into the game for
26. [R67] 2/5 · CA full of bugs: was fun, but now it crashes regularly & doesn't pay out when you watch videos. now my coins seem to be gradually disappearing. needs fixin'.
27. [R68] 5/5 · CA Great game!: But ads are crashing so i cant get the rewards from the red flying monster. Therefore, the progression is very slow. Please fix this!
28. [R3] 1/5 · US Good game but dead: Last update was 2 years ago but they still keep this game up to milk peoples money. If you play this game, do not spend a penny. It's definitely not worth it and developers already abandoned this game now they're just greedy
29. [R7] 2/5 · US It seemed fun: It seemed like a fun game but without any updates i dont want to spend time on it…
30. [R8] 5/5 · US Review for DECA: Hello DECA, I respect this game and I enjoy playing it a lot. But right now it feels a bit empty… as if it has become quieter than before. Honestly, I regret that you bought it from Bee Square. If you had supported Bee Square instead, it would have been much better, because updates used to come more often, and the game felt alive. What did you do? You added a few heroes, and t
31. [R12] 4/5 · US Updates: I like the game but I feel as no updates are coming the last one was over a year ago
32. [R10] 1/5 · US Idle… maybe: Downloaded the game, played for awhile, stopped once I realized the game is only idle when it’s on your screen. nothing gained offline.
33. [R82] 3/5 · CA Forces update. No earned coins.: Great game, but it would seem that the forced update caused my game to skip collecting the overnight coins. Bummer.
34. [R32] 5/5 · US issue ios and android: I played the game before with my android phone, but then the phone was broken and now I'm using Iphone which makes me unable to access my previous account, I wish you could make it possible to transfer my android data to my ios. Many thanks!
35. [R38] 4/5 · US Please add Android to IOS transfer: I love this game but after getting an iPhone I found out I couldn’t transfer accounts
36. [R2] 5/5 · US Will there be updates?: Hello developers. Could you please tell me if there will be regular updates for the game? I was tracking them and the last one was two years ago, but now I see a patch was released a week ago. There's hope the game will live on! · translated
37. [R18] 5/5 · US W game wish they made games like this these days: W
