Legend of Solgard
Legend of Solgard is a well-animated and addictive puzzle-strategy game with creative mechanics, but recent updates have led to significant issues with crashing, a 'pay-to-win' progression model, and an unbalanced in-game economy.
Legend of Solgard is a free-to-play puzzle-strategy game praised for its engaging gameplay and unique creature combinations. However, recent user reviews highlight frequent crashes, a perceived shift towards a 'pay-to-win' model, and an unbalanced in-game economy that makes progression difficult without spending money.

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):
What’s New - Bug fixes
Recurring themes
Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy puzzle-strategy games with unique mechanics and character combinations R1R3R46. It might appeal to those who don't mind a significant grind or are willing to spend money to progress R1. It is not for players who get easily frustrated by frequent app crashes R10R49R50 or who dislike 'pay-to-win' mechanics and unbalanced in-game economies R12R21R33.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, particularly regarding crashes and the 'pay-to-win' aspect, despite the lifetime rating being high. This suggests a recent decline in user experience. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes' but recent reviews contradict this, with many users still reporting crashes.

- [R1] Great Game: It is what one should expect from a progression based free to play. Wonderfully animated and balanced with a fresh approach to combining and puzzle systems
- [R3] I got my my addicted to this game: I’ve been playing this game since last year , I am stage 10x at the moment and I recently got my friend addicted to it too. The thing I like about this game is that all Creatures has different specialties. In some stages, you have to choose different combinations to help you to complete the stage. Beside the regular campaign, you have other events to keep you o
- [R4] Addictive: Played half an hour so far and I like the strategy mixed with simplicity. Crashes every few minutes though
- [R8] Fun times: It’s a simple game but it does require to think. It’s keeping my attention
- [R2] Another Might & Magic Clash of Heroes: I highly rated the NDS version of Might & Magic Clash of Heroes back then. It was easy to pick up, offered many variations, and had decent balance (improved after porting to iOS). This Solgard game continues that core gameplay, with even more creativity. However, it looks very pay-to-win. I hope free-to-play players won't get crushed. · translated
- [R46] Fun, addictive (although crash-prone) game.: I really enjoy the setting, and aesthetic of this game. The gameplay is also really engrossing. It attains a good balance between introducing surprisingly in-depth mechanics, while not overwhelming you with too much information too quickly. Definitely worth a look!
- [R28] Great game: This is one of the best games I've played in a while. It is very entertaining and even though it has in-app purchases, it doesn't constantly bombard you with items to buy like many other games do.
- [R9] Great Game but Crashes ALOT: I love playing this game. I am presently a Loyalty Level 6 which means I have played daily for a long time. The only main problem with this game is all the crashing. It doesn’t happen in just one part of the game / it happens everywhere. I feel I could have progressed my avatars long ago but the game crashes at least 5-10 times a day. Sometimes, I feel I spend mor
- [R10] Crap: Don't waste your time this is crap all it dose is crash ,my dog could do better then this pease of junk
- [R11] Crashes A LOT!!!!!: I like the gameplay but it constantly crashes on my iPhone.
- [R12] Rigged Pay to win: After you pass certain point in game it will be impossible to keep playing and progress in campaign you have to spend $$ otherwise you are stuck by daily boring repetitive stuff
- [R20] Pay to win: Stupid game
- [R21] Fun until: It’s another cellphone game trying to grab your money, it costs a lot of gold to upgrade your team but you win almost nothing so guess how you get gold?? Of course by buying crystals with money, it’s really sad that game creators are so greedy because the game is fun to play, the energy cost and regeneration is also a joke, anyway like all others cellphone game i try it will be a quick
- [R5] It was good, until they jacked up the cost of everything at the shop time 10: Why did you jack up the cost of everything? Greed?
- [R6] New patch - money problem: Since the new patch the money system in the store is ridiculous... you receive 20g in chest to buy 4000g for one token of champion ?!!?!? I am doing every daily quest and it’s doesn’t help. Please fix the gold problem.
- [R17] Painfully hard level cap: You never earn enough gold to be able to upgrade at a reasonable rate. Chests give you ~20 gold, level completions ~30 gold. Even the “gold rush” tends to cap out around 300 gold. Once you get passed the first 3 areas, the rest of the game is pretty much impossible to progress since 1 ability upgrade can cost 2000,3000 gold, not including needing to upgrade various charac
- [R19] Great game: I love this game and its a lot of fun. Runs very smoothly and i never have any issues with it crashing. My main issue with this game though it that the gold rewards are way too small as you level up and it makes it impossible to level up your characters as fast as you’re getting soul gems and dust. This proportion needs to be recalibrated to make leveling up your characters to make mor
- [R15] Not a good game: First of. its a rip off of a proper strategy game. This game is nearly solely based off luck, and strategy is pretty much non existent. Had this been closer to the strategy of “clash of heroes” it might have been a better game. The only strategy I can see is picking the right units for the battle. Second. The pvp battles are screwy. I just played a game where the enemy moved 7 t
- [R23] Legend of Solgard: This game app isn’t bad but pvp the ai gets three turns and you get two plus usually always makes matches where you don’t if this wasn’t so annoying be more fun. Plus it’s gets challenging fast so the fun aspect isn’t there! Did enjoy up to this point though for some of it!
- [R14] Devs are a bunch of thieves: Solgard is a game where you have to spend a lot of time or money carefully choosing which units to upgrade on your team, because you can’t upgrade them all. In the latest patch, one of the most popular units was needed. The nerf was needed, to be fair. However, no compensation was given to those who had spent time upgrading the unit. Instead the devs expect the playe
- [R48] Fun at first: The game becomes way too difficult around level 60 and up. It takes the fun out of it. Good but not for me. Uninstalling.
- [R33] Pay to win or get frustrated: This game is fun the first few days. But the opponents power levels is raising a lot faster than yours. At some point you just hit a wall because you can’t compete at all... unless you pay Just deleted the game. A game is supposed to be fun, not frustrating.
- [R49] Crashy mccrashing: This game should win an award for most times crashed. I counted, and in 5 minutes it crashed 10 times. I've had apps crash, and that is a serious record. I would rate -1 stars if possible.
- [R50] Keeps crashing: I love the game but even with a new iPhone 6 it keeps crashing. I’ve tried the help forum but it gave me no help. The game will crash after almost every match. Incredibly frustrating, please fix.
