Играю уже на протяжении 10 лет! ### 5/5 — Best IOS Game to Exist *2023-04-29, version 2.5* since i was a jit this was the go to game, im saying back in 08/09 THIS was the staple video game of my childhood.. it hurts me to see it’s irreverence today but i always find myself coming back i love this game. ### 5/5 — Pls add backbone support *2023-02-05, version 2.5* I wanna play on backbone pls ### 5/5 — Want this to be ported to consoles *2022-12-30, version 2.5* I’d totally score this on the switch. ### 5/5 — Nostalgic and still amazing *2022-07-25, version 2.5* I can’t believe this game still runs in 2022, it’s still as good as before. The purchases in my opinion are affordable and really cool. I wish the developers would add coop for bug hero’s one. If they did I would be playing 24/7 ### 5/5 — Change the horrifying faces on eating food stash bugs *2022-03-07, version 2.5* I hate horrifying bugs! ### 5/5 — Please keep on continuing this game *2021-10-23, version 2.5* This game is amazing and I wish you would continue working on it ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2021-09-19, version 2.5* This is the greatest game known to man. It just needs controller support to be perfect. ### 5/5 — Hidden Gem *2021-07-18, version 2.5* There are no words in the English language, which is factually the most expressive of every known language, to describe the charm of big heroes. As of writing this, there is less than 100 reviews of this game and they all are generally positive. That, is a fitting circumstance for this game. It is possibly one of the most obscure and phenomenal of all mobile games. It is a mobile game equivalent of a cult film, it is unknown but has a small yet dedicated following. I am not yet old enough to use the proper vernacular to describe this… Gift, of a game, but I do hope you reading this will give this little game a chance. Because it might just surprise you. ### 5/5 — Best game in years (after its sequel) *2021-05-04, version 2.5* As entitled, this game is one of, if not the, greatest game in the history of mobile video games. It has got unlimited challenges and is just a lot of fun to play, solo or multiplayer. This necessarily needs a third version. Please keep on updating it, so that it works with newer IOS versions. And if possible, Please publish the third version of this game. You never know, maybe it will be its time to shine and it surely is worth it and will be a hit in the gaming market. P.S. just please update it regularly Best regards Written on 04.04.2021 ### 3/5 — .... *2020-12-06* Das game ist 💀 Tot 💀 ### 5/5 — nice *2020-11-15, version 2.5* I used to play this when I was younger, I love it <3 ### 5/5 — Really good *2020-06-17, version 2.5* I love bug heroes 1 and 2 how ever please add mercenarys in version 1 ### 5/5 — 久しぶり *2020-06-17* iPhone4sの時にハマりまくって睡眠不足になったゲーム。 またやりたくなって今度はiPhoneXRで再DLです。 ### 5/5 — Clever, Invigorating, and Fun *2020-06-16, version 2.5* I know this is an older game, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. I am very happy that this is still on the App Store. When I was younger, it was on our second generation iPod and I loved it. I didn't think it would still be in the App Store, but when I recently downloaded it again on a different, much newer device, it worked just as well as it did on the old iPod, to my appreciation. My only complaint, that isn't even a complaint really, just a suggestion, is that when spider does her jump and slice close up move, two of her legs stay on the ground while her body is in the air. You may want to fix that, but it isn't a big deal if you don't. I have yet to try Bug Heroes 2, but I am looking forward to when I do! ### 5/5 — 8 лет спустя *2020-05-27* Решил поиграть спустя 8 лет. Ещё на ipad1 играл. Игра топ жаль на Андройд нету . А так тут все гениально . И до сих пор обожаю саундтрек в игре ### 4/5 — Please make full screen 😭 *2020-04-30, version 2.5* I’ve been playing this game for a long time and I Love it can you guys please please make it full screen for iPhone X smax and add more futures please 🙏🏼😭 ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2020-04-03, version 2.5* First off it leaves a beautiful nostalgic feeling overall. I may still be you but I remember playing this when I was 3 and it was great. ### 4/5 — I love this game but... *2020-03-27, version 2.5* Foursaken media, I love this game and love almost everything about it, almost... I know this game isn't getting the love it deserves but please give an update, this game glitches all the time and I feel very frustrated every time a glitch occurs. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb *2016-04-13, version 2.4.6* Dumb don't play ### 1/5 — Took my money *2015-05-05, version 2.4.6* I got this game and I bought flying bugs and treasure trover but I wanted to restore my purchases but when I restored and I waited an hour nothing happened. I need help ### 1/5 — Booorriing !!! *2013-12-18, version 2.4.3* Yawn ### 1/5 — :( *2013-11-16, version 2.4.3* It is a great game but I still can not even open it. Please fix the bug issues. :) ### 1/5 — I hate it *2012-10-07, version 2.4.3* It Gets booooooring ### 1/5 — Bug Heroes *2011-07-24, version 2.3.1* Please send an update freeing the paid bugs. It's no fun just using the starter bugs and mantis!! ### 2/5 — Great Game from the past, but crashes and wipes progress *2023-01-16, version 2.5* The game is extremely solid gameplay wise with tons of content. But the game will freeze and seemingly not unfreeze, and when you close and reopen it wiped a seemingly random amount of progress (Going from wave 7 to 4, or just restarting to wave 1) It’s very disappointing and I doubt a review will matter but I have almost all the content besides treasure trove and it’s a precious childhood game ### 2/5 — 3 балла *2014-03-12* Плохая графика, унылый геймплей , мало возможностей. Плюсы тоже есть но их мало : Много персонажей и вобщем всё. Платную версию покупать не следует! ### 2/5 — Too hard too quickly. Too unbalanced. *2011-10-16, version 2.3.2* Maybe I just suck as a strategist or whatever but after two hours I am bored with this game - even with the godlike treasure upgrade it gets too hard too quick. I find myself frequently being trapped in some niche (or even out in the fricken open) and unable to move because crowds of bugs surround me (and just one bug in your way means you can't move). The last game was so frustrating. Being trapped and literally dying every second, I couldn't even swap abilities for fresh ones because of the crippling cool downs. What I find most annoying is this: the beetle's stick, the spider's blade, the ant's gun all sound and look meat.. Yet on level 4 easy mode, the beetle has to whack the smaller bugs twice.. The armored ones 5 or so.. At no time during the game so far (even with treasure) did I ever think "wow, this guy is powerful now!" I want to like this game - it has cool graphics and I like the characterisations. But it seems way too hard, too unbalanced and I am not enjoying myself.. ### 2/5 — Such a shame *2011-06-16, version 2.2* Great game ruined by constant crashing, never been able to use the playroom as it always drops out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My childhood *2026-01-12, version 2.5* I love this freaking game. Thank you for keeping it on the AppStore. Love you guys and love this game forever ### 5/5 — Still peak even after all these years *2025-12-20, version 2.5* Played this as a kid playing this as an adult now forsaken media has always been the kings of mobile games ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-11-20, version 2.5* I hope you put Arabic language ### 5/5 — Игра топ *2025-05-28* Но к сожалению зависает !! Разработки сделайте что-нибудь с этим , пожалуйста !!!!iphone 17 pro max ### 5/5 — This game is fantastic! *2024-07-07, version 2.5* I love it. It is difficult, and fun. This game should be the example for any mobile game. ### 5/5 — Absolutely spotless. *2024-04-22, version 2.5* 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. ### 5/5 — Legendary *2023-12-09, version 2.5* I was so addicted to this game in like 2014, so addicted. I had it on a really old iPod and since I wasn’t allowed to play video games I’d sneak onto this game every free min I had. I come back to it every few years for nostalgic purposes and still enjoy it! ### 5/5 — Amazing then, amazing now. *2023-11-06, version 2.5* I absolutely ADORED this game as a kid, i’d play it for hours and hours! I recently found it again on my iPad after I had gotten the data from my older one onto my newest one. The graphics were good even for the time. I actually even expected this to be on the ds or something. The combat has just enough complexity to where it’s really rewarding to learn attack timings and get your positioning right. I love how this system even carries over to the shooting controls! You can have your character automatically lock on to the closest enemy to save you the aiming but then you HAVE to attack the closest one, when you disable lock on you aim yourself Which allows you to pick who you’re shooting at. This also has the downside of you not being able to shoot at things in your range but outside of your screen. Overall great game. Make a 3rd one! ### 5/5 — I always come back *2023-10-21, version 2.5* I’ve been playing this game for about 10 years now. I always come back every now and then to play, I can’t believe this gem of a game isn’t more well known. ### 5/5 — キャラが好きすぎる *2023-07-21* 巣を守りつつ食糧を集めるディフェンスアクション。キャラクターが好き。キャラのパワーアップのバリエーション豊富なのも好き。いろんなキャラの組み合わせ試すのも好き。どのキャラも可愛い。100円で2キャラ来るので課金はした方がいい。無課金キャラは遠距離攻撃がしにくいし。食糧探しに行くか？クエストやりに行くか？パワーアップはどのキャラかそれとも巣を強くするか？というような選択を常に突きつけられる。敵キャラも個性的。食糧を盗むタイプには泣かされる。キャラごとに全く異なる戦い方があり、これが11キャラいるからなかなか飽きない。どのキャラも育てればいける。画面外の敵がわかりにくいとか欠点もあるけど構わない。結構落ちるけどそれでも好き。この会社はいろんないいゲームを出した素晴らしい会社だけど、これが一番好きなのでずっと残ってほしい。がんばれfoursaken。スマホゲーム界の星。まだ役目は終わってないぜ。埋もれないで名作。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
