My ONLY gripe is that I wish we could keep our progress ### 3/5 — Test update on iOS before releasing perhaps *2026-08-14, version 8.1.0* Every time theres a new update, the game has a bunch of new bugs on iOS and have to keep repairing it in settings menu. That resets equipment, hero costumes, monster battle board setup, etc. it’s getting annoying how consistent every new update has new bugs, like get it together already ### 2/5 — Not offline *2026-08-13, version 8.1.0* Not an offline game. Entertaining and such keeps you interested but it is NOT FOR OFFLINE use. Will not work after a couple tries without internet. Can’t upgrade or do anything without internet. ### 2/5 — It’s 7+ years old and still only for whales *2026-08-11, version 8.0.2* Lots of bugs for a game this old- was literally waiting for my last energy to quick run a map, got it, tried to use it and got an error, closed game and now have to wait another 10min for that 1 needed energy… weekly and monthly challenges/tournaments can only be won if you spend between $300-$1000 a day which is ludicrous. Most games that’s maybe $10 a day; everyone has to play VPN style unless they’re rich to get the gems needed to buy stuff at wan/dong/yen values. Everything is designed solely around cash in order to progress- my decent build without money is 1/10 the build of someone who buys everything and max upgrades when it comes out (whale mentality). I play for the challenge of the game- I’ve played whale accounts and it’s boring just standing there as everything gets obliterated yawn fest. My account got stuck- I can earn any blue soul stones I believe they’re called as I’m negative 4,000,000,000 stones… can’t level heroes in that state so higher level are ridiculously hard with a hero that’s like lvl 92 but could be 105. Havent gotten any reply from game team on what happened to my account ### 2/5 — Tweak it *2026-08-07, version 8.0.2* This used to be overall is really fun and addictive but the long range monsters are way too overpowered and the smaller monsters are way too fast so you don’t have much time to attack because I’m always on the run, and while I can’t attack I’m taking a lot of damage. The damage that the monsters do is way too much compared to the health that I have. As the levels get higher the less health that I have and the monsters do more damage. The game would be a lot smoother is we got health more often. So one or 2 changes to increase our health when we level up. This game also needs to change the pay wall in progression, the probability and gain of chests is outrageous, never getting anything you actually need unless you fund your account, needing to spend money. Extremely terrible game as of today, they just want your money with battle passes and other perks that cost you real life cash. ### 3/5 — having an issue *2026-07-30, version 8.0.2* I play this game all the time and I have never had issues but recently if I go on for the day I’ll claim my daily tasks then go to open the chest for when you’ve completed the tasks and it will say I already opened it and will not let me claim any of the chests! please fix this! ### 3/5 — please fix it *2026-07-13, version 8.0.1* After the update, the device frequently experiences network errors. ### 2/5 — Can’t get the Trident *2026-07-05, version 7.10.5* Just played the side game Age of Voyage on Archero and spent a month trying to get the trident and I finally got it. But it’s not appearing in my collection or inventory like I never got it and I have screenshots sent it to habby and no response.. terrible service ### 1/5 — Lost account *2026-06-30, version 7.10.5* I was just playing this game, but one day the game replaced my account. Everything i had spent on the game ended up being lost. ### 2/5 — Unplayable with new update *2026-06-26, version 7.10.5* The app was working fine originally after the last update, but for the past 4-5 days it has been unplayable and not loading whatsoever. All it does is pull up a gray screen and then force close when I attempt to open it. Love the game so looking forward to a new update that fixes the issue. ### 3/5 — CANNOT RESTORE PURCHASES?! *2026-06-25, version 7.10.5* I like the game and I’ve played for a while, but I’ve also spent money on the game and had lots of progress. I deleted for a bit and when I came back all my stuff was the same EXCEPT PURCHASES? I’d like to continue with the avatars that I BOUGHT. But there is no button to restore purchases!!! ### 1/5 — Glitching *2026-06-24, version 7.10.5* I have great internet connection on my phone but the game will not work, saying connection error. Thanks ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-06-18, version 7.10.5* The game is fun with a good gameplay loop. However it’s actually unplayable. This has to be some of the worst game design I’ve ever seen. Let’s just cram 3 bullet sponge bosses into a small room and have them spam projectiles. Boss rooms are not fun. Instead of making new and creative bosses, they cram the same bosses into rooms but just increase the number of bosses in there. Your hero pretty much does no damage. The hitbox for the hero is too big. It is basically impossible to progress unless you spend money on this game. So if you choose to play this game, you’ll likely have fun for the first few chapters before you hit a brick wall. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Better than the rest *2026-08-31, version 8.1.1* Archero 1 is better than all other apps like it. It’s even better than Archero 2! ### 1/5 — Crazy amount of Ads *2026-08-30, version 8.1.1* Prepare to spend a ton of time watching 1-2 minute long ads to do anything in the game. ### 1/5 — It’s 7+ years old and still only for whales *2026-08-15, version 8.1.0* Lots of bugs for a game this old- was literally waiting for my last energy to quick run a map, got it, tried to use it and got an error, closed game and now have to wait another 10min for that 1 needed energy… weekly and monthly challenges/tournaments can only be won if you spend between $300-$1000 a day which is ludicrous.

Havent gotten any reply from game team on what happened to my account 8/14/26 Update- zero help from Habby so far- just accusations and bs reports. They recently stole nearly 300 monster arena keys from my account; when I saw I had free chests I used them, they never showed I was using gems. Now they’re saying I used almost 5000 gems on “free” draws from the game (mind you they’re almost always junk draws so- no one uses gems for those) They want screen shots and screen recording to prove my issues- no one goes into a game recording because they expect to be screwed over constantly; and how would I prove something when they’re the ones stealing resources from my account… shady shady bs requests to protect their “integrity” ### 1/5 — I doubt there’s anyone in the top 1000% who hasn’t spend money to get there… *2026-08-12, version 8.1.0* This used to be overall is really fun and addictive but the long range monsters are way too overpowered and the smaller monsters are way too fast so you don’t have much time to attack because I’m always on the run, and while I can’t attack I’m taking a lot of damage. The damage that the monsters do is way too much compared to the health that I have. As the levels get higher the less health that I have and the monsters do more damage.

This game also needs to change the pay wall in progression, the probability and gain of chests is outrageous, never getting anything you actually need unless you spend money. Extremely terrible game as of today, they just want with battle passes and 90% of things you need to get stronger locked behind a pay wall. ### 1/5 — iPhone 8 de oyun hiçbir şekilde oynanmıyor *2026-08-03, version 8.0.2* optimizasyon berbat ### 1/5 — Cannot open game *2026-07-22, version 8.0.2* Game tells me to update and opens this page but there is no version to update. ### 1/5 — To hard *2026-07-21, version 8.0.2* I’m not even a high level and this game is extremely difficult to play and takes way too long to find and upgrade equipment and weapons. There’s too many levels for me to be as low an the game to be this difficult so that’s why i’m gonna only give you guys one star ### 1/5 — Thief’s *2026-07-14, version 8.0.1* Do not play this game. They will steal your money ### 1/5 — Good game bad practices *2026-07-07, version 7.10.5* Nearly everything in this game is a loot box or some other gambling mechanic. Everything is tied to some purchase - usually a pass or some such. They have then added as many other games into it as possible (FarmVille..) to try and make more ways to get you to pay for some useless pass or other. The interface is garbage with constant red dots show you that you have some “good pet” action to take. Was probably a solid game a few years ago, but in this state I can’t recommend ### 1/5 — Too many adds! *2026-07-06, version 7.10.5* This game is basically an ad simulator. There are far too many ads, and many of them don’t even have a close button. Even when the timer reaches zero, the ad keeps playing. It’s incredibly frustrating and feels very misleading. Spend more time improving the game instead of forcing players to watch endless ads. 1 star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — İyi oyun *2026-09-04, version 8.1.1* Beğendim ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-30, version 8.1.1* Cool chalange fun ### 5/5 — Great, until the SPIDERS *2026-07-25, version 8.0.2* I was really enjoying this game! The systems for leveling up, getting gear, and increasing your stats was so fun. But Chapter 2 has SPIDERS. Unfortunately, they disgust me so much that I can’t play anymore 🥲 ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-07-10, version 7.10.5* Was a good a good game when it first came out it was peak 🥹. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-06, version 7.10.5* The game is pretty good l play for 1 hour and done with the 1 chapter ### 5/5 — super fun *2026-06-22, version 7.10.5* 5/5 ### 5/5 — Ehhh fun *2026-06-15, version 7.10.5* It’s fun try it. ### 5/5 — Optional *2026-06-15, version 7.10.5* Fub ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-06-12, version 7.10.4* Its a good game for past time ### 5/5 — Siempre eh sido un fiel jugador *2026-06-04, version 7.10.1* Tenía mucho tiempo que no jugaba me encanta este juego es muy divertido lástima que haya perdido mi antigua cuenta estoy arrancando desde cero --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
