Latest update · v1.48.0

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

1. Game optimization & bug fixes

Recurring themes

Monetization negative
Many long-term players feel the game has become an excessive 'money-grab,' with events costing thousands of dollars to get rewards, making it difficult even for spenders to progress. This contradicts earlier experiences where the game was considered more free-to-play friendly.R4R29R73R105
Performance & Stability negative
A significant number of recent reviews report frequent crashes, lag, and the game quitting unexpectedly, sometimes making it unplayable. This directly contradicts the developer's notes claiming 'Game optimization & bug fixes'.R17R18R26R85
Content & Updates negative
Several users complain about a lack of new content, with some stating no new content has been added in close to a year. This contributes to players quitting or not returning.R56R71R74R100
Data Loss/Bugs negative
Multiple players report losing heroes, progress, or even entire accounts after updates, with no clear way to restore them.R76R77R83R84
Gameplay & Graphics positive
Many players enjoy the core gameplay, finding it fun, strategic, and a good time-waster. The game's 2D art, graphics, and character designs are frequently praised as beautiful and engaging.R1R5R9R25
Free-to-Play Experience mixed
While some players praise the game for being F2P friendly and generous with rewards, others, especially long-term players, feel it has become a 'cash grab' and that progression without spending is very slow or hits roadblocks.R29R33R45R60

Who it's for

Mythic Heroes is for players who enjoy idle RPGs with mythological themes, strategic battles, and attractive 2D art R1R15R49. It might appeal to those looking for a game similar to AFK Arena R103. It is not for players who are sensitive to aggressive monetization tactics, frequent app crashes, or a perceived lack of new content R4R18R56R85.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, with a significant portion focusing on technical issues and monetization. However, a large number of recent 5-star ratings with minimal text suggest a segment of users still have a positive experience, balancing the overall sentiment. The lifetime rating of 4.85 suggests the negative trajectory is a more recent development.

  6. [R47] 5/5 · US Thank you: This game is very good and good graphics
  7. [R49] 5/5 · US Best Gacha-type Game I've Played: I've messed around with numerous "character collect & level-up" games--Marvel Strikeforce, Raid: Shadow Legends, Skullgirls, a bunch more. Got sick of all of them, hit the wall where if you don't spend a bunch there's nothing fun or enjoyable left. And some of them have really lousy artwork. But this game is beautiful. I was hesitant for like 5 minutes, coming fr
  8. [R68] 5/5 · US Good game: I love the characters and graphic

  11. [R60] 5/5 · US Love it!: Very f2p friendly and overall a good game!
  12. [R104] 5/5 · CA F2P Friendly: Most characters are accessible easily. No ads, not too much to do that it takes hours on the daily, good game.
  13. [R31] 3/5 · US Pretty good: I’m very picky with games I’ve played just about every idle and RPG game you can thing of. This one is pretty great by my account if you do everything they offer (which is a lot) you can rack up a decent amount of summons and material. In one game binge I got over 100 summons (I will say I was gone for a bit and I am also a higher level player). I don’t like wasting money on games sin
  14. [R36] 5/5 · US Fun game: This game is really fun, there is a lot of thing to do, if u play u will never get bored.
  15. [R71] 5/5 · US Amazing game: Played when it came out for months. Tons of great content. Hope they update soon
  16. [R1] 5/5 · US Best game ever: If you are into myths this is the game for you
  17. [R103] 5/5 · CA Pretty cool: An afk arena copycat that did it really well! Has all Tyler favourite typical mythological gods!
  18. [R17] 1/5 · US Làg hay out: Các thứ ổn trừ hay out
  19. [R18] 1/5 · US Keeps crashing: Keeps crashing on summing what the grrrrr fix junk
  20. [R85] 1/5 · US I feel like crash test dummy: I bet you didnt think the game could crash any more than it did when it was crashing 3-4x in a given hour. Well the developers said “challenge accepted.” And now the game crashes every 5 min since the latest update. Game is unplayable as it is now.
  21. [R126] 1/5 · CA Idonotknow: When I just downloaded this game it keeps on crashing and it is glitching a lot just for the start. I do not recommend downloading. It will waist up your time and storage!
  22. [R4] 1/5 · US Became unplayable money-grab: Played since the very beginning and it’s time to quit it. Everything is a money-grab. Even if you’re a spender, you won’t get a chance for decent rewards. Every current event costs approximately $2,000-3,000 to get the rewards. It’s just shameless at this point.
  23. [R29] 3/5 · US Same old Same old: Glad I got out when I did about nine months ago. I loved this game for about the first year and free to play? well it wasn’t that greedy. You could do well by playing for free and then it just turned into a total cash grab.. now I am a spender. Remember that, but I can’t stand overly greedy developers(They all are greedy!) Plus the game just got really boring and I could tell a
  24. [R105] 3/5 · CA Okay, good rpg: Well, roadblock at level 30. Spend. Not doing that.
  25. [R56] 1/5 · US Don’t do it: Game is dying out hardcore. Developers have not made any new content in close to a year. It’s sad.
  26. [R74] 1/5 · US Asks for unnecessary info: I played the game early 2023 and left due to lack of content, yet when I return I can’t start over fresh. I haven’t played for months and frankly I didn’t miss it, but I wished to retry playing the game hoping there was new content. I went into the settings to try to delete the account like you can on any other game, but they require so much info and an image, of what? M
  27. [R76] 1/5 · US Updates: After the update, I lost my second account. · translated
  28. [R77] 1/5 · US Bad game: I haven’t opened the app in a while and when i went back on half my hero's were gone, they said i never got them and the other half that i had seemed to be right as when you first get them(when you get copies of a hero you can asend them and power them up). decent game but if it can’t hold any data it’s terrible
  29. [R83] 2/5 · US Everything is gone: This new update took away everything I had and there isn’t a restore purchase option.
  30. [R84] 1/5 · US Damaged my acc: My account was bugged, and lost a lot of progress.
  31. [R15] 4/5 · US Decent Game: About what you’d expect out of a gacha game, nice art decent amount of stuff to do but the difficulty curve is kind of steep though.
  32. [R45] 5/5 · US Fun game: Slow progression if free to play. Strategic battles make it fun to play.
  33. [R79] 5/5 · US Mythical: It’s a good game. It just takes too long to upgrade your characters
  34. [R73] 4/5 · US Pretty good: You will be pestered to spend money, but it is still enjoyable without spending. Super fun!
  35. [R26] 5/5 · US Fun but The game keeps crashing.: The game has been very fun but it randomly just crashes out of nowhere.
  36. [R100] 5/5 · US Cute design: Great game! Can’t wait for more update!
  37. [R110] 4/5 · CA Excellent app but keeps on crashing frequently: I am enjoying the app but the frequent crashes prevent me on giving it 5 stars
