- [R8] Heroes of History This game is amazing!!!: They have so many characters to get and have good ideas for events.
- [R44] Heroes of History Great time passer: This game is extremely fun and very in depth. I definitely recommend it. There are also hundreds of heroes to collect and a very challenging campaign.
- [R70] DomiNations Too long: DON’T PLAY ‼️‼️‼️I could play this game for 3 years straight and still be in the early stages of development. It takes weeks to months to upgrades building and literal years to complete university studies. Only play this game if you have Endless time & unlimited money. Nothing but a cash grab and they won’t fix it. DONT PLAY
- [R90] DomiNations Meh: Once you get past a certain point (Atomic Age so to speak) you will literally be waiting a week to two weeks to update anything. Unless you spend big money on speed ups or crowns to facilitate completions, you will be staring at your screen doing nothing for about 90% of the time. When you think to yourself “why am I still playing this” then you know it’s about over.
- [R3] Heroes of History Connections: The game won’t start up or update. Keeps saying g connection error
- [R21] Heroes of History Crashes all the time: I love this game, but it is constantly crashing
- [R63] DomiNations Crash Crash Crash: If you can get yourself through an entire attack without the game crashing and disconnecting from the servers. Count your blessings. Because a miracle just happened. It’s a good game otherwise. Just be prepared to attack with your troops and then lose them when the game crashes and you have to recook them all and select new ones from reinforcements, because they’re gone into the
- [R112] DomiNations Crashy crashy: New update causes app to crash when you open the council and try to start multiplayer battles.
- [R19] Heroes of History Cash Grab: The new Ithaca event is completely broken and even spenders cannot complete the goal. Not tested beforehand and Inno has been unresponsive in game and barely so on social media. Definitely a big turn for the worse in this game
- [R55] Heroes of History Unstable Platform: I’ve been playing for quite some time (I have a couple of level 70 heroes, for reference) and it is a fun game. My only issue which is frustrating is how often the game crashes. Literally 5 or 6 times a day, seems like usually during arena battles and summoning heroes in the portal. I don’t think I’ve ever lost a hero and the arena battle is still available after I log back i
- [R118] DomiNations Game Constantly Freezes & You Lose Money: This game constantly freezes and crashes. You lose resources you buy and/or are forced to buy unnecessary resources because their game constantly freezes and crashes. It’s so annoying. It really ruins the fun of the game. I’ve reached out to customer service multiple times and it still keeps happening. They won’t even refund you when this happens. It’s a t
- [R4] Heroes of History Unplayable: The new events are unplayable without a large donation; the greed of idiots will ruin this game, as it has already ruined many good games. In six months, this game will become a useless swamp with a small group of high-dollar players.
- [R22] Heroes of History They only want your cash: The ongoing Ithaca event is purely a cash cow and is quite impossible for FtP people. Heck it’s even impossible if you spend a lot of money
- [R73] DomiNations Would not recommend: Constant Money Grab complete pay to win. No balance between offense and defense .
- [R117] DomiNations All about the money: It will eventually get down to two choices, spend money to advance or let your base become stagnant waiting to collect resources to upgrade.
- [R37] Heroes of History Inno scum: These guys are scum. They just acknowledged ripping me off due to a bug and told me that they weren’t going to fix it. They take every opportunity to milk you for cash to the point where you can’t complete ANY of the event tasks without spending real cash. Avoid inno!
- [R114] DomiNations Be careful. They take your money.: I have been playing this game for years. Their support is horrible and the game has bugs. In June this year my daughter bought me some credits for Father’s Day and I didn’t receive what she bought. They keep running me in circles trying to wear me down. I am done and filing formal complaints.
- [R1] Heroes of History Current Ithaca event completely fails. Players on strike: Consistent impossible unobtainable awards not just for f2p but p2p too. Tons of bugs. Devs never listen to main game base and respond when literally the whole chat is rioting. You know it’s bad when multiple loyal players are begging for bare minimum for the devs to actually hop in and listen and change as we ask. Not to mention so many sma
- [R61] DomiNations Time suck: Takes too long to advance. Plan on investing A LOT of time to this game. Click bate central....why can’t it be more like the original game ? Get ready to waste time....time you will never get back! Why 14 or 16 days to wait for n upgrade? Clean up click bait and make upgrades progress faster. Do better
