### 4/5 — Fun but pretty challenging

*2025-04-02*

Hard mode seems to be pretty much impossible. But it’s simple enough to understand and it’s a generally fun game.

### 4/5 — It’s so Hard and Lengthy!

*2022-07-12, version 1.0.4 (34)*

The game is Hard, and as a person who usually is average at these games, losing on easy mode repeatedly is… embarrassing… it’s very fun, but kinda hard… I’d like to see a villain version, or a 1v1 hero vs villain game mode! Good game, hard and takes a while.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2022-03-30*

It needs work , idk if it’s a big but as a level 1 hero I should be focusing on 7 tasks it’s too hard on easy if you’re going that route give us all the heroes and make it a team where they can either fight together or as a team . It’s not balanced with one hero and one vigilante you can’t control plus has a time limit.

### 3/5 — disappointed

*2022-02-01, version 1.0.4 (34)*

had high expectations…

### 5/5 — Super spiel

*2022-01-27*

Ich finde das Spiel gut. Ein tolles Strategie Spiel. Ich verstand die anderen Bewertungen nicht weil das Spiel nicht schwierig ist. Ich glaube wen man keine Ahnung von Strategie spielen hat der sollte sowas auch nicht spielen und eine schlechte Bewertung geben weil sie einfach schlecht ist in Strategie spielen

### 5/5 — Hero’s

*2022-01-19*

I can’t buy the other hero’s it says error connecting to store item unavailable

### 2/5 — Eh

*2021-12-24, version 1.0.4 (34)*

I respect the game’s ideals and the inspiration from similar games like plague inc but this is way to difficult. It wasnt long until i was being overran by constant disasters and villains (this was followed by a heavy sigh). I want change to this game, until the update i wont be playing this for along time. it only fuels my temper.

### 3/5 — Перспективный проект, НО

*2021-11-21*

Сделайте русский язык!
При этом устраните проблемы с вылетом🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Good Game but Crashes Upon Startup

*2021-10-29, version 1.0.4 (34)*

…

### 3/5 — Fun but too hard

*2021-10-09, version 1.0.4 (34)*

This game is quit enjoyable, and the art style is really good but ultimately it’s too hard to be replayable. 

The biggest issue in my mind comes from the level cap at 50, this needlessly cripples the early player who invests in skills not really knowing what to do, and punishes the later player who knows exactly what to do but can’t have enough perk points to achieve it.

Additionally, the snowball effect of the later game makes your hero’s task of saving the world almost impossible as you simply cannot be anywhere quick enough, never have enough health to outlast the threat and never have enough time to fix the countries that are broken. Compound that with twenty villains that can appear and wreck your countries progress at any moment and the random crisis that occur frequently, you have something that is more a chore to play than entertainment.

My suggestion is to wait for balancing patches

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.4 (34) — 2021-07-15

The human weapon is here! After several lab experiments the new hero just escaped and it is looking for a way to make things right. Take advantage of its huge strength and vigor, use its powerful healing factor and bring peace to the world!

### 1.0.1 (21) — 2021-04-22

- Brand new crises to randomly appear during your playthrough!
- Hero balance - Vigilante: Now the sidekick will show up automatically on a country with an active crisis. If the crisis is defeated and another one is active in another country, the sidekick will appear there automatically, no travel time anymore!
- Hero balance -Speedster: We heard you all, this archetype is way too overpower! this is our first attempt to bring it to a more balanced state, comparing to the other heroes. Now the active skill wont completely stop the time, instead it will slow down the time to half the normal speed.
- Tons of bug fixes
