  1. [R4] 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.
  2. [R6] Idle Heroes 3/5 · GB Great PVE, disappointing PVP/online.: Great game, but expect to lose a-lot to players who throw money at this game. Even if you manage to get very good at this game a new hero gets released that completely shifts the meta play-styles and you’ll have to start from scratch pretty much. Also progress mid-late game is too slow. If you just want something to click on by yourself with PVE, this game w
  3. [R28] Idle Heroes 1/5 · GB F2P? Not a chance: Great game in the short term, however you can’t build a decent squad without spending and after about 90 days the in-game events are only for P2W players who have purchased experience boosts and unlocked abilities/heroes to a level that can only be achieved by spending. Constantly being pushed to spend spend spend. If you’re after a time filler short-term then great but long-ter
  4. [R34] Idle Heroes 1/5 · GB RNG P2W: Spent 6 months playing after returning and spending a bit after all this time I still couldn’t get an A- tier which doubles your total damage. Spent 100+ awakens to get literally the worst odds possible it’s only possible to get far with money in this trash game
  5. [R3] Idle Heroes 3/5 · US Hate the UI changes: Give me an option to change them back
  6. [R10] 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.
  7. [R12] 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
  8. [R44] Idle Heroes 1/5 · GB Awful tutorial: Worst tutorial I've seen on a game, I also can't access an account I had a while ago that I'd spent money on. Game is trash all round.

  15. [R18] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US idle heroes: played this over a year ago and the codes didn't work. so don't bother.
  16. [R48] Idle Heroes 1/5 · GB Customer service - DO NOT INSTALL: The game was great until I got permanently banned for asking customer service to help me with an in game bug. I was left with negative currency and then was later permanently banned for asking how to fix it, no help no other reasoning just banned. This was all after spending over £300 Under and circumstances do not install this game
  17. [R71] Mythic Heroes 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
  18. [R75] Mythic Heroes 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

  21. [R116] Mythic Heroes 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
  22. [R42] Idle Heroes 2/5 · GB why was the login added?: I used to play the game and it was a lot of fun but i had to delete it some time after. Im trying to get back on it but it is now asking for me to log in with a bunch of 0 digits which i dont understand
  23. [R69] Mythic Heroes 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.
