  1. [R2] Tap Titans 2 4/5 · US Gameplay: This game is pretty fun and a good way to kill time I used to play but got back into the game I gotta say I’m glad I came back to a good game.
  2. [R6] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US Things have improved, I am really glad.: For a really long time I struggled with this app because it had a lot of hiccups with how it added things. It made progressing and other things feel impossible, but as of late things have genuinely really improved with how the game is going. I’m not locked to having to just wait for my inactivity to pop to do anything and can actually play it again, which I
  3. [R15] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US Refreshing but also toxic: Easily addictive and so kills a lot of time and energy. The game becomes hard to progress after level 1000.
  4. [R17] Tap Titans 2 5/5 · US A Throwback Banger: It’s been so long since I played this game, got it back and it’s just as fun as I remember
  5. [R1] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US Longer ads: The ads have gotten VERY long… over 1 minute Long… used to be 15 seconds. GREED!
  6. [R3] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US Loads of fun but feels very P2W: I really enjoyed this game the past 1.5 weeks. Everytime I had a little free time I would open this up and just start tapping away. I was randomly granted grand master of a random clan when the original was kicked, a little cool. But at the end of the day every tournament, every clan, every high ranking person, feels like they’ve sunk in lots of money. I like the
  7. [R7] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US Thieves: Why was I charged $45 for a $2.99 purchase??
  8. [R9] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US Great core gameplay - aggressive monetization: Really enjoy the gameplay, good idle game with great progression and complexity. however, constant ad watching and prompts to spend money without a reasonably priced OTP to remove the ads is frustrating and old school.
  9. [R12] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US Taking rewards earned: I would give this game a better rating but it kept wanting to update every couple of weeks and it would send a pop up saying ‘ oops the fairy’s have lost count, you have fewer diamonds than what you thought’ I had earned over 3,000 diamonds and it sent that pop up 3 different times and cut me down to only 1,200 diamonds. What a rip-off! Don’t waste your time downloading this
  10. [R16] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US Ads that break the game.: Only been playing for a day now, but I keep getting a google ad that is requesting a download of a different app. The ad doesn’t allow you to exit, no matter how long you wait, the only option is to completely close the game, and relaunch. No other games I play have this issue. Very frustrating!
  11. [R27] Tap Titans 2 3/5 · US I think the game is glitched for me: I played for like 40 minutes and my character already does 7.65e29 damage. And every hero I have 1 taps every boss at lvl 200. I don’t know if it’s glitched or if this is how it should be but
  12. [R4] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US Great game, terrible support: If you like idle games, this is the one for you. However, do not expect the support to reach back out. There has been a massive glitch on my account for weeks now and they will not fix it even with multiple messages through the chat software.
  13. [R13] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US No help retrieving account: I played this game for 5 years. Recently my account was logged out. The game is not sending me a password reset email. I’ve tried everything. I deleted and redownloaded the game. I emailed the hive, I messaged support on the game, I messaged on Facebook, I messaged on instagram. It’s been 2 weeks and the staff has not responded once!
  14. [R19] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · US Developers are arrogant and not educated: Reached out the support and let them fix the bug, but they ignored me even I’ve spent 10k usd for this game. Very disrespectful and I hope you guys stop playing this game as well so you won’t get regret for spending time and money into this scum game. If possible I would rate 0 star.
  15. [R22] Tap Titans 2 1/5 · GB No support: In hame support is no longer available. A company that doesn’t care about its customers anymore.
  16. [R68] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Extremely frustrating: Used to play this game and loved it! Went back to try it out, and had to make a new account. no problem! What i was met with was the most aggravating railroaded tutorial i couldn’t skip that forced me to spend currency i didn’t want to. Sad cause it used to be cool but its lack of account recovery, railroaded tutorials discouraged me from continuing to play.
  17. [R70] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Tutorials are to much: If you want a game that wont let you play at all and constantly gives you a tutorial for every single thing even if its not even needed then this is the perfect game for you
  18. [R107] Idle Heroes 4/5 · US Tutorial: It's completely unskippable and also completely unnecessary like it doesn't help you learn the game at all and is unbelievably slow I hate restarting on this game.
  19. [R64] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Predatory auction: This game is a waste of time and VIP walled which cost money to get VIP points. Then there’s the predatory auction in the game where Tier S is sold for 1,000,000 starry gems that you can buy 2,500 for 99.99. So it’s basically $40,000 for a character.
  20. [R79] Idle Heroes 5/5 · US Gameplay: The new gameplay for free to play players is amazing as well as the options of characters and abilities I really love and enjoy this game
  21. [R90] Idle Heroes 5/5 · US Great game! Just try to avoid spending $!: I’ve loved this game for years now. And have managed to spend only a little on it from time to time. But it’s a slippery slope so be careful spending on this game! But free to play is still tons of fun and there is loads of content to delve into. Would highly recommend giving it a try!!!
  22. [R94] Idle Heroes 5/5 · US Good, P2W but still strategy: Has become less P2W over the years, strategy and resource management can allow you to go far without money.
