This is a SOLID GAME!
I avoided EH for a while due to the low rating, but I was interested to start when my wife downloaded it and I watched her go through the first few parts. The animations are gorgeous, the gacha is decent and forgiving, and the story is passable with characters that don’t grow tiresome like a lot of similar games. I’m to understand that it had a rocky history which caused it to receive review bombs, hence the apparently low score, but having played for a bit now I am absolutely convinced that this is a great game that is worth a 4.5~5 rating. Do not let the lingering score fool you, give it a try yourself!!

Clunky beautiful game
Exos heroes is a love hate relationship. I love all the beautifully drawn heroes and their moves. When it works well, the game is honestly not bad. But several huge things really dampen it and prevent it reaching its full potential (1) despite years being out, it’s still a clunky mess of a game with crashes still. Not excusable at this point given how long this game has been out (2) the gacha and currency conversion of materials are truly not worth it. Majority of the items in the store require you to shelve out $50 to even remotely have a chance at getting anything useful. The game needs to chill on this and realize that this is actively killing their player base with a hard stance p2w wall. So much potential and such a shame that it’s wasted.

F2P
I never leave reviews on apps because it’s typically a waste of time and there’s plenty of bots overhyping games for no reason. Well, this game deserves a review as it’s free to play to the point that you can still be competitive without spending money, it just takes longer. I’ve had the game for a couple of years, and through free items, weekly arena xes, and daily/weekly xes. I can pull 10s of times on any banner I want without really saving. I also have all of the best fatecores/heroes without having spent money.
The game also has a nice monthly signature hero recruit where you can sign in for a month and receive some of the best heroes in the game just for logging in.
Something else really cool is the work that goes into the skins for heroes (fatecores). They not only change appearance, but actually change the skills a hero uses and have new animations alongside them which is amazing.
Finally, the game regularly has new content and updates so it’s worth giving a shot for the long run, even if you’re F2P.

New mechanics overhaul
-Simplified powering up characters and daily missions.
-Added more of a grinding aspect to getting better gear similar to games like summoners war or Raid shadow legends.
-remade skills for all characters. Good and bad here. I appreciate the attempt at game balance overall. But this has also left some characters kinda useless. For example a tank style character cannot function on a team if all they do is protect themself. They just end up standing there as the rest of the team dies. Abilities like Neomi’s millennial light are the equivalent of skipping her turn. This is in contrast to before when it made it harder for her to be killed and harder for the party to be killed. You can equip an artifact to give her something like share health but she no longer innately helps anyone but herself. Artifacts should allow for strategy and synergy with existing abilities but shouldn't be needed to give a character the basic role they should have had the ability to perform before equipping the artifact
I mostly like the changes as it allows for more customization using artifacts and equipment sets but with the comments section removed the only way i was able to say any of this was to leave a review.
I do like that in general the designers consider other ways to utilize the game to offer different game modes. They did this with the sprite events in the past. Keep trying stuff and add a comments section so we can contribute ideas.

Biggest blunder Iv ever seen
Exos really had something going for it with the fact that it wasn’t just like every other turn based game out there. The fatecore system was fresh and unique, characters were interesting with nice synergy that made team building simple but also fun and interactive. All of that is gone now with this Season 5 “update” as you all basically destroyed your own game and turned it into a bad copy of all the games you were better than before. Fatecores are now just glorified skins with little to no change in abilities or gameplay and the character passives that made syngeries so fun are completely gone and replaced with basic passives that are so generic it’s laughable. And the worst part? You took those passives you stole from us and put them onto something that we have to roll for again, are you kidding me? Your “apology” a day after the update meant nothing because you conveniently ignored the biggest issue had and tried to play it off like you cared and had listened to us when in reality your fake apology was just a spit in the face. I am really disappointed in this company and am saddened by what they did to Exos.
