Buckle up for a new Farm Heroes Saga adventure! Our new update includes bug fixes and improved levels for you to enjoy.

Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy classic match-3 puzzle games and are looking for a relaxing, yet challenging experience R35. It may appeal to long-time fans of King.com games who appreciate colorful graphics and engaging levels R39. However, it is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by frequent technical issues, intrusive ads, or changes to core gameplay mechanics that make progression difficult without in-app purchases R10R29R60.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with many expressing frustration over new bugs and changes. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment indicates a downward trajectory. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes' but many recent reviews directly contradict this, reporting new or ongoing bugs.

- [R8] Start: Sooooo much fun
- [R15] so nice: so nice
- [R19] On of my favorite: Love this game . Great way to pass time.
- [R48] Addictive: You can lose your time in this game.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍
- [R35] Fun, Relaxing, and Challenging: Great, relaxing game. You can challenge yourself without game being over complicated and competitive.
- [R39] Good: J’adore ce jeu depuis que j’ai 15 ans ! Farm Heroes Saga fait partie des jeux auxquels je reviens toujours quand j’ai besoin de me détendre. Les niveaux sont amusants, colorés et parfois vraiment difficiles, ce qui rend le jeu encore plus addictif. J’aime aussi les personnages et l’ambiance du jeu, très relaxante et nostalgique pour moi. Même après des années, je ne me lasse pas d’y jouer ❤️
- [R40] Creative and very entertaining!: The vision one must have to create a game such as this. You can have TV, movies and social media. Give me a good game. This is what’s up!!!
- [R64] Just perfect!!!: I love this game,even though I am on level 60 but I know that when you’re on a super high level it’s really hard to do but it’s good for brain power ( iq ) and also don’t quit !!!!!
- [R41] Very cool game: It is very addicting and a good way to relieve stress and just play something simple and fun This game use to be so hard after you got to the higher levels I just quit playing. But now you can actually win the levels so now I am willing to pay money for game and I do. Huge improvement
- [R43] Awesome game rewards: I have played FHS for years now, and occasionally I’ll take a break. When I’ve returned, I’m excited about all the new ways to earn awesome rewards which help me tremendously in my game play. My reward coffers are full and I am getting through tough levels more confidently. Well done!
- [R49] I totally enjoy this game: I have been playing this game off and on since I've been on Facebook and that's been since 2009. I remember several years ago, this game became almost impossible to meet, They came out with the bowls and the poppy's and they were not very generous with the boosters. It got to the point where I gave up and quit playing for a good while BUT they must have had lots of compl
- [R55] Enjoy playing: Love the game. It’s very challenging when you’re reaching to earn gold bars. Like the various games to earn boosters. This game is so much fun. One change I ask is how do I trade my beans for boosters or gold bars. Have tons of them.
- [R18] Love this game: I’ve been playing this game for over 10 years, it’s amazing and very fun !
- [R61] Excelente: Me encanta , lo juego hace años. Gracias por las actualizaciones al desarrollador.
- [R4] Why?: Whenever I play this game, it somehow glitches my profile picture which slows down the game and forces me to close and reopen it. Also, up until recently, it has been getting stuck in hero mode (AFTER I COMPLETE THE KEVEL) and it also forces me to reopen the app again, but it always makes me lose boosters.
- [R5] Freeze: I purchased gold to complete a level with 300 moves. Completed it & then the game froze. I had to leave & come back & now the level is incomplete even though I completed it.
- [R10] Constantly freezing: I download this game 2 days ago and really enjoy it except I’ve had to restart the game 15 times so far because it keeps freezing. After I play 20-25 games, it freezes and I loose all the bonuses I had and have to replay the game I just one. It’s so frustrating
- [R12] Game keep freezing: I’ve had to reinstall the game. Of this took away all my booster. I’m past level 3000 and now it’s teaching how to play and it’s still freezing. So I lost all my “ so called freebies “ for nothing!!
- [R2] Please: Bring back the days of playing out my hero moves
- [R7] Updates: If it aint broke, dont fix it. The new flowers look weird, almost scary. I don’t like the special shiny crop sites either. They almost hurt my eyes. Just leave stuff alone! Update: I recently have noticed there are a lot of games I can’t use my multiplier in. This was not the case before. Just one more thing to make the game less enjoyable to play.
- [R22] Lost its luster: Two months ago this was a 5 star game. Loved this game and played daily, but recently I find it frustrating. They added a new (and long overdue help) vertical plow, but then I can’t boost the value when I want. They took away Bonnie’s extra moves. I guess they want me to spend money and not time in the game. Just won’t play anymore. I may revisit in the future, but I guess it’s ti
- [R29] Bring back +1 bonus: Guess I’m done with this game now. Played a long time; I’m on level 5017, but since they’ve taken away the +1 bonus on most levels, I’m done. Do I really need tractors that go in two different directions? No. Funny thing is, they’re still giving out +1 bonuses as prizes, but you can rarely use them now. Oh well, fun while it lasted. On to a new game. Bye
- [R16] Nothing but ads: Don’t download unless you want to sit through long ads that you mark offensive or not interested in to get through one game. Absolutely horrible.
- [R60] Ads are sooooo long!: This used to be fun to play but now the ads are so long it’s not even worth watching them to get a booster or extra moves. I would rather play than have 45-60 or longer ads just for one move. Removing app today.
- [R65] Ads are tooooooo long.: I have been playing for long long time, but I’m giving up if the ads are 30 seconds or more too long I get the idea after 15 seconds. But game itself is great
- [R71] Crash Saga: Game constantly crashes. Also, the ads seldom close when tapping the ‘x’ it just opens up a web page. Viewed an ad for a bonus and the ad wouldn’t close, tried closing out the ad and it kept going to a webpage and never went back to the game. Ridiculous that you can’t close out ads by selecting the ‘x’. The game becomes non responsive and no pieces can be moved. Will probably delete th
- [R66] Music Glitch: Is there a new glitch in the game or I can’t listen to music while I play the game? Usually, I can listen to music or watch YouTube and I can hear it and now they turn off whenever I play this game.
- [R67] Newest Update Worse: Newest update now overrides my music. I never played this game with sound or music and it’s never been an issue before able to listen to my own music to calm down but now every time I open to play it turns my music off I don’t think a game app should have control over my sound
- [R68] App shuts sound off and dominates over other apps: Really getting frustrated- you can’t do anything but play the game. Meaning you can’t listen to nothing because the game shuts it down. Really irritated and about to delete the app no matter if I enjoy it or not. Listening to nothing just to play a game is just weird.
- [R69] New update isn’t allowing background audio: I have played this game while listening to my audiobooks for years, but the new update won’t allow me to have background audio.
- [R17] Gets impossible: I used to really love this game, but obviously they’ve changed a lot of the rules. You don’t get extra bonuses daily and you don’t get extra bonuses each time you win. I have been 4330 for about two weeks and since I am pretty good at this matching game, I refuse to buy any gold bars or whatever it is you need to move on because it is impossible to. this game without additional mo
- [R20] Hard game: Game is to hard, it sucks. I never get gold bars and the game doesn't like me.
- [R27] Higher levels are impossible: The higher you get the more impossible it becomes. Not even fun anymore. All they want you to do is spend money to advance. There are so few moves available I’m pretty sure you can’t solve without paying for help which I refuse to do.
- [R32] forcing players to use far more resources: they changed the levels to force players to drain much much more of their resources now. while they added a new vertical mower, in return they removed the ability to +1 boost cropsies on every level. so now if there are sheep or bulls, you will be unable to +1 boost the regular cropsies and instead you have to spam a ton of the dogs or run out of moves. t
- [R1] Landscape view: Bummed you took off landscape view. Gonna give it a week then delete app if it’s not back. 🥲
- [R24] You’ve destroyed this game.: The original version of this game was great. The upgrades have taken all the enjoyment out. The colored and “busy” backgrounds you recently added makes it VERY DIFFICULT to even begin to figure out what you are supposed to do let alone play it. Have you never heard of the old saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix if it!”
- [R45] Graphics change a lot: Looks like temu version some times. Not sure why they change. Looks bad
- [R14] All my level helpers: I had hundreds of each level helpers in the level and when I reconnected it to Facebook they are all gone I’m not happy at all
- [R57] I’m livid!!!: I’ve been playing for years, spent a lot of time and money on this game. Last week I couldn’t open the app, so I deleted and reinstalled. ALL of my boosters were gone, half of my gold and am no longer offered to play Rancid’s Riches. I read that not everyone gets Rancid’s Riches, but if you do don’t go taking it away!!! Now I’ve pretty much lost interest in the game.
- [R85] Never received package I bought: I bought a 6.99 package today then it froze on me and I never received it .
- [R47] Bonnies boosters: Love the game but I have a complaint about Bonnies boosters. It resets back to nothing even though I have won every game. This happens when I stop to playing for a few hours, most of the time overnight. When I come back to the game the next day, Bonnies boosters won’t show up until I win the first game that day. Please fix this.
- [R165] I’m so ticked off: I’m so tired of this game not registering that I played it and saying I have to pay gold bars or start over on the daily bonus. It used to be my go to game now I just don’t care anymore. I had a 15 day streak and poof back to square one.
- [R181] Loved until recently: I’ve been playing this game for so many years now! But recently it keeps freezing after I win a level and ruins all my progress. I’ll have perfect Bonnie’s boosters and I win, it crashes and then it says I didn’t win and I lost all my boosters. It’s happened twice this week, really getting over it and will probably delete the app if there’s no update!
- [R234] Lost all my power-ups: I love this game, but my game randomly reset the amount of power ups i had (50+ *each*, which took forever to accomplish) to like 3-5. And I’m honestly furious. Also, idk if bonnie is supposed to reset as much as she has been for me. But that is also EXTREMELY annoying. If these issues weren’t present the game would have 5 starts from me.
- [R30] Can’t even play: The moment you load into the game, it is nothing but war. The amount of pop ups that prevent you from starting the next level is disgusting. Why do I have to click out of 27 “mini” challenges just to play the main game?
- [R62] Too many pop-ups: The game itself is fun and engaging, but the repeat pop-ups after almost every single game negatively impact UX.
- [R34] Give me my beans back!: Give me my beans back!
- [R38] Beans!: I love this game but I can never actually purchase purchase gold bars w all the beans i earn! Frustrating but still worth playing!
- [R124] It’s good but really lame decisions by creators: I like to play this game, but I always remember why I get sick of it so quickly. The beans are pointless. Also, every time you win a “charge up” you’re forced to play them in the round…. Stupid.
- [R25] WTF!!??: The most recent update sucks and is SO MAJORLY DISAPPOINTING & FRUSTRATING. In order to get boosters that were once able to pick before playing the game is now NOT any option you have to use gold bars which cost money and it gets very expensive when you don’t have any boosters to start with ONKY CAN PICK THE SHOVEL WHICH COST MAGIC BEEN WHICH IS BETTER THAN USING REAL MONEY. PLEASE FIX TH
- [R3] The best game ever, I'm advanced in it. · translated
