  1. [R1] Top Heroes 2/5 · US Pictures Lie - game is not like them: It’s an ok game to play at first. But the pics all lie and what’s show isn’t what you get. I was hoping once I level up I can actually do quests and interact with the town. But it’s all Lies - It does not give what it claims too. And once ya get farther in it’s kind of more boring now and I’ll probably delete soon If it was actually as it shows via anima
  2. [R3] Top Heroes 3/5 · US Ignore the Preview Images: The same looks nothing like the preview. It’s still fun to play, but those images aren’t what the game is.
  3. [R6] Top Heroes 3/5 · US More heroes: The game is fun but it needs more heroes to unlock
  4. [R7] Top Heroes 1/5 · US Not as advertised: The actual game is nothing like it is advertised. Unfortunately a bait and switch.
  5. [R23] Top Heroes 5/5 · US Great relaxing easy game!: Cute heroes and monsters. I am in heaven!
  6. [R29] Top Heroes 5/5 · US It’s cute🖤: So far I am enjoying it. Simple, and nice tp play while lounging in bed or waiting for an appt.
  7. [R52] Top Heroes 2/5 · US Game AI needs improvement: My team will have an enemy one shot then decide to focus a completely different enemy leading to a loss.
  8. [R54] Top Heroes 3/5 · GB Crash: The game is good but please sort the crashing out
  9. [R4] Top Heroes 2/5 · US Bad game: Developers have only added more things to prevent any sort of enjoyable PvP. Their goal is servers full of people who only make purchases and do nothing else. Castle defenses are so high you cannot attack similar powered players even using a counter faction and they only add more every update.
  10. [R12] Top Heroes 3/5 · US Okay: It’s kinda fun just seems super heavy on the pay to win micro transactions
  11. [R16] Top Heroes 1/5 · US Fake ads and picture of what the game should be: This is entirely a p2w war game. It has 0 of any feature it mentioned in the game feature. You are competing with whales to stay in power. I’ve played it for 3 months and you can see the power differences of someone who play 10 of thousands vs someone who pay here and there. Don’t fall for it. Don’t give them your hard earn money… No matter how much
  12. [R24] Top Heroes 3/5 · GB Pay to play: I would have given this game full stars but the designers are very greedy. You can progress in this game but certain aspects of this game that aren’t achievable unless you spend a large amount of money. Apple shouldn’t let any game developer charge more than £10 on an in game purchase. £89.99 is not a micro transaction. It is piracy!
  13. [R39] Top Heroes 3/5 · GB Too many overpowered dictators: We have some very overpowered whales on our server - one of whom controls the citadel and who has threatened the other guilds not to even try fighting for the citadel or he will burn every player every day if they do. It’s just so mismatched to favour the few. I don’t bother with the carriages anymore as they’re just plundered by players three times stronger than me
  14. [R42] Top Heroes 3/5 · GB Love it but one problem: I absolutely love this game! No ads or anything, and the gameplay is amazing, I just have one thing about chats I don’t really understand why there can’t be different chat rooms, (other than private and guild) but just being able to change chat rooms will be great, just so I can be around different people. Cuz I ended being harassed in the game , that I ended up have to b
  15. [R55] Top Heroes 2/5 · US Misleading Adds / Social Bullying: Not for kids. First installed because the add was about farming food… then found out it was a gar game. I said ok, I like strategies. Guilds with real people are involved… but then strong players create their own rules, as if they were queens and kings, killing players that don’t pay for the game and don’t want to be their subordinates. Basically you follow the
  16. [R58] Top Heroes 5/5 · US child pornographers and extortionist: this app; allows its users to cyber bully people, allows racism even after multiple ‘reports’, extortion and soliciting sexual content to minors for in game currency. even after multiple complaints the users who do these things continue to be free to spread their hate and child pornography.
  17. [R10] Top Heroes 1/5 · US ads: We just gotta start rebiew bombing these games that make AI ads that are nothing like the game at all. Maybe then they’ll finally stop and just try to make a decent game.
  18. [R64] King's Throne 1/5 · US A slog: Very dated gameplay, been playing for a few years and it just becomes tiring with the same few events and bugs and glitches that never get patched. Been trying to get support for some event problems…i’m vip7 and only get useless chatbot responses. They then asked me to submit a review, so here it is. Time to quit, no more money from me!
  19. [R67] King's Throne 1/5 · US Game lags and unfair practices poor support: Not only games have lags but also a poor support. When you report a bug or issue either your ticket gets closed without resolution or explanation or never get answered. When you pay in game there are not only hidden charges but also issue in top up Quantities. I will say Don’t waste time playing this game even if you do enjoy playing free don’t waste a
  20. [R69] King's Throne 3/5 · US Enjoy but has unfixed errors: I enjoy the game in most aspects but when trying to use items in my bag like prestige points it does not transfer over to where I can actually use them. I tried contacting the creators but still hasn't been resolved months later. It’s a good game and fun to play besides that issue.
  21. [R73] King's Throne 1/5 · US I used to love this game: They only allow you 24 hours to redeem all of the rewards that you spend 7 days building in the games and now refuse to assist if you miss a day. I’m a long time player of this game and won’t spend anymore money on this game simply because it’s ridiculous to think everyone can play this game every day to keep up with the rewards and not miss out. Be cautious, their cus
  22. [R70] King's Throne 2/5 · US King’s Throne - Never Get anywhere: Don’t do it! Do not start this game. Good concept, decent game play. BUT, they merge servers nonstop so no matter how aggressively you try to advance you end up just getting further behind. Latest server merge now has created survey busy delay with gameplay constantly. Save your time and money, find another game to play. New update. Another merge. I used to sp
  23. [R79] King's Throne 2/5 · US Used to be fun now way too confusing: I used to love this app several years ago. It used to be very simple, which is several events every now and then but a pretty basic game to focus on with clear objectives and many things to do but now they overwhelm with the events and so many pop-up ads it’s insane. Like omg pop-up insaneeee. There’s about maybe six or seven events going on at the exact same
  24. [R85] King's Throne 1/5 · US Fun at the beginning … until devs start doing server merges: Stay away, and don’t get invested in this game. It’s fun & interesting to start … until the devs start messing you over with their server merges. You will spend a lot time, effort, and money building up your strength and abilities. Then out of the blue, the devs will merge a ton of their servers into one. As an example in the most recent
