  1. [R6] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Gear: I think the game should be more engaging at the start with out so many pop ups and making things show up when you unlock them. I also think that grinding at a low level should be less difficult dont get me wrong it’s not hard it’s just not as engaging as other games that are out there which makes me not want to spend money which is the whole point
  2. [R7] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 2/5 · US Could be fun, but…: This game has pretty good dynamics and is fun to play for about an hour before you’re stalled unless you want to watch ads. And this game has ad boosted play in nearly every aspect. I’m not kidding. There are ads for recruiting heroes, ads for resources, ads for chests, ads for speed ups, ads for getting the rewards for your own achievements, ads for energy, ads for currency, a
  3. [R10] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Ad spam: This game is nothing but ads. Run.
  4. [R61] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Watch out if you spend: I spent over $100 in the game. You would think that your account is linked via your apple account, but I guess it’s not since I reinstalled this game on my new phone and was surprised that I was redoing the tutorial on my server. No way to get my old account back. What a waste of money.
  5. [R16] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Tutorial: The tutorial way too long its annoying trying to play the game and it just forces you to do something that you can figure out on ur own
  6. [R43] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 2/5 · US A forced tutorial with some game features: The game is self explanatory, the forced tutorial is absolutely unnecessary. The option to skip any tutorial would be a nice addition. If you have the patience to basically play an almost nonstop tutorial that won’t let you play in peace then have fun
  7. [R76] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US LET ME PLAY: Might as well play for me the whole beginning is just forcing me to do stuff I don’t want to do and it’s way to long of it forcing me to do stuff I don’t want to do like do 4-5 battles and stuff let me just play
  8. [R120] 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.
  9. [R4] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US List account: Switched phones and lost everything I payed for. Crazy game but fun. If u can fix it 5 star.
  10. [R30] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US It’s a good game but I lost some progress: Overall this is a great game it’s one of my favorites but today when I logged on I was set back to stage 93 but the day before I was on stage 114. I also know it wasn’t cause of my storage or iCloud which is why I think there is a problem with the game. I don’t know how it happened but it did happen to me which is why I’m rating it 3 stars. Hopefully this
  11. [R40] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Can’t log in: I can’t get my old account and I spent money on it so please add a account link to the app
  12. [R9] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Waste of time: This game is set up saying ads aren’t necessary but give you huge benefits for watching them. But half the time I try it freezes at the end of the ad and I have to close the game and open it back up only to find I need to rewatch the ad if I want my reward. The “tarot” mini game is also a scam they have set up to watch ads. I counted 12 times in a row I apparently chose the wrong ca
  13. [R19] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Ads required: You have to watch ads to claim quest rewards. Daily quest also requires watching ads. Ads everywhere.
  14. [R82] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Pay to play: Would be better without the pay wall game sucks
  15. [R112] Idle Heroes 1/5 · US Good game run by a greedy company .: Game is wonderful but the deves are money hogs they will kill your line up every 4-5 years with new pay to win power system that only applies to new heroes so if you are f2p or low spender you will have to restart most of your account progress to shift to the new play style . If you like getting slap for liking a game heres your chance .
  16. [R22] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Purchase a subscription package: I purchased an annual subscription package but never received it. I contacted the developers on Discord to no avail; I gained absolutely nothing.
  17. [R66] Idle Heroes 3/5 · US Long pay to play or spin your wheels: You can spend tons of money to play or take forever trying to collect those things that are rare to free to play players. You will be quick to be burnt out on this play. Paid for rewards, didnt receive due to a program glitch, support kept asking the same questions i kept providing screen shots and videos, they kept asking without resolving the issue. Total
