My childhood

I love this freaking game. Thank you for keeping it on the AppStore. Love you guys and love this game forever

Still peak even after all these years

Played this as a kid playing this as an adult now forsaken media has always been the kings of mobile games

Nice game

I hope you put Arabic language

This game is fantastic!

I love it. It is difficult, and fun. This game should be the example for any mobile game.

Absolutely spotless.

a closed minded individual would be quick to point out the game’s dated aesthetic, but to me, that only adds to the endless charm that this game exudes. the music? absolutely incredible. no other music would fit this game as well as it does, and it without fail will lose me in the world of bug heroes. but enough about how the game is presented, how’s the actual gameplay? well as the title suggested, spotless. it would take me a very very long time to think of a hole in the game’s design. nothing is completely flawless but bug heroes is the closest to flawless I’ve ever seen a game come to. the biggest bug I’ve found in the game all about bugs is being able to get out of maps with assassin cut, but it’s never happened unintentionally. each hero has a reason to exist, a million different strategies to use, on top of being able to compliment the other heroes very well. but how about the enemies? I feel not a single enemy on the list is filler. every single enemy is unique in some way and they will shake up the gameplay in interesting ways. you’ve got your standard weak alone but strong in numbers enemies like the flea, army flea, and the army ant, and you’ve got your more tough enemies like the armor ant and the slug, then you’ve got the strongest ones like bumble bee and scorpion. this is where most games would hang it up and call it a day on the enemy design. instead of doing that, bug heroes will throw all sorts of new challenges your way with each new enemy encountered. here are some good examples: the mama spider is a giant spider that will spawn in one of the corners of the map, her babies will sprint towards you to latch on. if they do, you’ll be slowed slightly for each baby latched on, and you won’t be able to kill them until they all get pushed off which happens every few seconds. so once you see the baby spiders going for you, you know you have to hunt down the mama spider immediately before it becomes a big problem. or there’s the caterpillar which is the same sort of concept, however it will directly threaten your defense by either taking a huge chunk of your base’s health or killing it instantly. so it’s of the essence to kill it as quickly as you can. another bug on the “I need to kill this thing asap” is the centipede. which will make you focus your entire firepower directly on it, but it will warn you the second one spawns. there are also the specialty bugs like the ladybug which will continuously heal the other bugs, or the other ladybug variant which will shield them. in the playroom, the pond, and the yard, you’ve got hazards in the maps themselves that will try to kill you. all that is a tiny and I really do mean insignificantly teeny tiny piece of the gameplay explained away. that on top of base turrets, pickups, weapon upgrades, quests, coliseum, the insectopedia, achievements, and endless other things I’d be sitting here talking about for hours all combined into this incredible package of the game is what makes me truly believe that this is the greatest mobile game to ever exist. and I do not say that lightly. I’ve played so many countless mobile games, I know when it’s nostalgia guiding me and when it’s not, I know more about obscure games from over a decade ago than any sane person ever should. and out of any game I have ever played on mobile, heck, any game I’ve really played in general, none have ever had the amount of thought, love, and effort put into the game especially given the circumstances of development as this one has. it will continue to endlessly fascinate me as to how something of this quality was even created and will forever inspire me to better myself. it is my favorite piece of media ever and will always continue to be. if I only had one six star review to give in my entire lifetime it would be this game. to say I recommend this game would be an incredibly large understatement. support the devs and either download this or buy the premium version. you will not regret it.
