Gets terrible fast
The game plays like a game of rock, paper, scissors. And because you’re unable to choose you’re opponent, you maybe thrusted into a terrible match-up with your options being to pay with premium currency or wait 20+ minutes (early / mid-game) for your ship to repair just for it to happen again.
Very good game idea and incredible design and execution but gameplay is severely lacking. It’s not easy to grind for better items or ships when there’s a 33% chance you’ll run into a opponent that’ll completely counter your build.
I don’t expect much from the developers other than a generic “We will look into the matter” response but the awful wait times and inability to grind because of bad match ups are what is keeping this game from becoming an App Store hit and instead turning it into a pay to win cash cow.Show lessNickname19383738

Thank you for the feedback! We are really sorry that you didn't like our game because of that.Great all around.
I played this game a few years ago and got bored and stopped. I recently started playing again and even got back my level 34 account. A day or two later I somehow lost access to the old account. I started emailing customer service and while it took several days they went above and beyond to make things right. They exceeded my expectations. Excellent customer service!
The gameplay is very enjoyable and now with the new updates new levels of strategy can be played with. No ship is invincible. I find it very fun to tinker with different weapons and set ups. It can take some time to unlock extra ship slots but it’s totally worth it. You’ll advance pretty quick at first but it slows down later on, which is a good thing. All in all it’s a fun game.Show lessHendershotBleak
Great until you win
The game has great potential and is quite fun until you start winning then all of a sudden you lose every match until you actually pay cash to upgrade to a better black market weapons then you start winning again then after a while you will lose every fight again so you have to spend more money and more money and more money and more money and more money and more money....
Yet another great pay to win game where no skill is actually required just hard earned cashShow lessiPhone Aussie

We are sorry to see that you dislike our app, but we respect your opinion.Fun and addictive, but...
I recommend everyone to play this game. It is very entertaining and highly addictive. It is fun watching my ship destroy another ship or vise versa. It’s great that one gets to actually see how the fighting goes and fix their weak spots. I haven’t had problems with the ads either. There aren’t many ads like any other free video game groups, I’m not going to mention any names VooDoo. There are a few problems though. One is that it is very difficult to collect points. After purchasing a new ship, it takes so much time to collect more for the next ship. Another problem is that when the game says that you either won or lost a battle against a person, it doesn’t let you see the actual battle. I recommend adding an option to see the battle. I like to watch the battle go on and then fix my issue on my ship, but it doesn’t let me do that. Other than that, it is amazing. The options are not confusing at all, and no OP ships that I know of so far. I absolutely love the game.Show lessあんこ食う人

Thank you for the feedback! Have a nice day!Ok - but offers are a scam
The game is ok - but as many have suggested it certainly is a pay to win, and the game quickly becomes frustrating as you can’t progress and spend a lot of time loosing against bigger and better players due to a pay to win mechanic and a very poor Oppenheimer matching system.
The biggest let down is that the “offers” to earn premium credit via Fyber are a complete scam. Fyber don’t pay out on completion of offers, and when you contact them to raise issue all you receive is generic emails saying the same thing over and over - 3 weeks later and 6 emails from them promising my credits will be received within a few hours.
Still waiting - so even trying to earn extra premium credits to progress is bogus.Show lessgugglt

In this case please contact us, not Fyber. Send a screenshot of the offer and your in-game nickname to support@herocraft.comGreat game!
I started playing this about 2 years ago. I stopped because it was slanted so heavily towards PTW. I have since come back to it, and found it much more enjoyable. The balance is right, the graphic quality is still good, and the ship customization options are incredible. I also love that combat is automatic. I can start a fight, check my email, come back and do it again. Not a time drain at all!
Only one thing keeps this from a 5-star rating. The cost of new ships and tech is very high, and makes it difficult at times to afford newly unlocked options. I recently unlocked a new ship, but likely won't be able to afford it for some time while I build up my cash reserves. The premium currency helps, and it's nice that you get a good amount for free (completing daily bonuses), but getting a bonus of "X" amount of standard currency upon gaining a new level would help.
All-in-all, a great game. Keep it up!Show lessDinubis

Thank you for the feedback!A very unique game
There are a wide number of spaceships and weapons to choose from which makes the game have many different types of battle possibilities. The only thing I find weird is that the matchups are slightly uneven, eg when I have a higher ranking than my opponent, I am most of the time defeated by them. And Easily.Show lessGameKingSA

Hello! We are aware of this situation and started to fix this issue. We changed "matchmaking" situation and would like to ask you did you see some changes? We will definitely check out the balance but if you will have any remarks, please contact us again. Thank you so much!Reasonable
My first impression was that this is yet another pay to win game. However, the daily tasks make this game quite playable even for those who do not wish to spend a lot of money.
The game is not perfect. It does have some odd quirks. The game balance feels a bit off with some components that seem to be completely useless. I think only the computer controlled players use some components.
Another strange quirk is that some upgraded components actually have significant downsides in firing rates, or damage or range that make them completely useless compared to the lower version. Some have no downsides so are obviously extremely useful.
The pilots flying the ships also struck me as either high on alcohol or drugs. They seem to fly and shoot fairly randomly, so it is hard to pick a winner when ships go to battle.
I would give this game slightly under 5 stars for the quirks. However, since it is closer to 5, I gave it a 5.Show lessFlaw Addiction
