  1. [R2] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 4/5 · US Good game: This game starts kind of slow but picks up and gets really fun
  2. [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
  3. [R8] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 5/5 · US My favorite game I have: This one’s so fun you can get pets I like the map I like what kinda like is in great for kids funny and cool
  4. [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
  5. [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
  6. [R10] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Ad spam: This game is nothing but ads. Run.
  7. [R13] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Don’t play this: Game’s just bad, too many ads and P2W, don’t become a whale to it
  8. [R3] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Fun but can’t listen to music: This game is fun but you can’t listen to music while playing it which makes it much less enjoyable. It will constantly pause Apple Music no matter what you do.
  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. [R18] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Ads: I watch the ads for bonus stuff but after a certain time of day there is a Lego ad that comes up that won’t go away and doesn’t provide any rewards afterwards. This happens every day and makes the game unplayable for me after 6pm
  11. [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.
  12. [R33] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Ads won’t load: Ads won’t load & u can’t level up without watching the ads!!! Can’t find another way to contact the developers
  13. [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
  14. [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.
  15. [R25] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 1/5 · US Excessive ads: I’m down for watching ads for rewards, or being forced to watch ads periodically, but this game is far to excessive in its desperation for ad revenue
  16. [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
  17. [R93] Idle Bank Tycoon 3/5 · GB Cloud save issues: Why did you remove cloud save sync when i click it doesnt work and nothing happens? Update now add cloud save fix right now then i play and later will pay some. Only if u add cloud save first in new update.
  18. [R24] Hero Making Tycoon Idle Games 3/5 · US Get rid of the Lego ad: Get rid of the Lego ad!! It doesn’t work right, the X to leave is always there but you don’t get credit, and even if you interact with the ad you’re still not getting credit. Let alone when I leave the ad I have to spam the ad button and leave several times before I get an ad that isn’t the Lego one.
