You can see them inside the hero collection tab, but there’s no way to unlock them. ### 3/5 — Production speed down? *2021-05-19, version 0.26.8* It’s a decent time waster, but why punish players for having summoned too many novices when many of the chain quests require at least 40 summoned novices to complete? Defeats the “idle” motivation… ### 4/5 — Great! But has a bug that’s making it not playable really. :( *2021-05-03, version 0.25.4* This game is great for passing time, and just enjoying it, But I’ve just started to become really addicted to it. But there is this bug that crashes you out the app whenever you try looking at the shop or just at the quest’s, And logging in isn’t really hard to do or has any bugs in it, But that’s one bug I’ve noticed while playing this game. I really do hope it gets fixed so it becomes even better and enjoyable! ☺️ **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review, we really appreciate your support for Hero Ball Z! Please be assured your feedback will be delivered to our developers’ team! Have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 4/5 — New approach to idle games *2020-11-01* More interesting than typical idle games. Arts is great, and game more dynamic. Great game so far! **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying the game. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to send it to us at joycity.oqupie.com/portals/812. We will be glad to hear from you. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2020-10-04, version 0.19.15* I really like this game more than almost everything else on my phone, but it’s way too much of a commitment to play consistently when I have school and stuff. **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review, we really appreciate your support for Hero Ball Z! Have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2020-09-21, version 0.19.15* This game is so fun to play, it takes up most of my screen time actually. It’s sweet and simple. I love how all of the characters are created and developed. I love how you can always collect more characters, so you have a variety of hero’s to pick from when it comes to battle. This game is so cute, I like how they look tiny and like stubby when it comes to the Home Screen thing. It’s so cute. It’s easy to play, you don’t really need a lot of instructions. You can catch on pretty fast too! I absolutely love this game, and it always brightens my day when I open the app. I extremely suggest getting this game!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your support for Hero Ball Z, we really appreciated what you've said and it gives us the inspiration to work even harder. Rest assured that we will do our best in order to provide a better gaming experience to everyone. Thank you and have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 4/5 — Fun game *2020-09-02, version 0.19.15* Been playing for like 2 months now. The game is alright and there’s much to do but not to much. There’s no complicated features or grind heavy aspects. A very chill idle game. Only problem is the amounts of p2w features there are. As of now, the only things worth buying are the battle pass and the 30d auto combine feature. Everything else just seems not really money hungry, but quite overpriced. The cost for diamonds is pretty high. Other than that, great game. **Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review, we really appreciate your support for Hero Ball Z! Please be assured your feedback will be delivered to our developers’ team! Have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 5/5 — HeroBallZ: one of the best games I’ve ever played! *2020-08-28, version 0.19.12* HeroBallZ is a game full of cool characters and more- and I really like the fact that the developer made the characters different from each other and I also like that the developer also made kid heroes- I’d give this game a 5 star rating! **Developer response:** Thank you for your support for Hero Ball Z, we really appreciated your review and it gives us the inspiration to work even harder. Thank you and have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 5/5 — A perfect, simple game for anytime. *2020-08-28, version 0.19.12* This is pretty much as idle as you can get. How do you level up and get new heroes? Pay for them? Nope. Do I have to kill high lvl enemies and hit a wall that I have to pay to get through or do the sweaty grind for the next 6 months to a year? Nope. All you do is merge the matches. Once you get them evolved high enough they turn into heroes through rng. Seems to be pretty loose but I haven’t explored the ‘top hero’ lists. Great game for standing in line, waiting for doctor visit, on the toilet is a given and of course: the DMV. It’s not flashy or crazy cgi graphics but a simple side scroller. No puzzles or waiting for energy. Chill and simple. 👍🏼🤙🏽 **Developer response:** Thank you for your support for Hero Ball Z, we really appreciated what you've said and it gives us the inspiration to work even harder. Rest assured that we will do our best in order to provide a better gaming experience to everyone. Thank you and have a great day! Hero Ball Z GO GO! ### 5/5 — Nice Surprise *2020-08-16, version 0.19.12* I was expecting to just check it out and delete it straight after, but it’s been surprisingly entertaining. ### 5/5 — Awesome game!!! *2020-08-15* I love this game, I really love idle games and this is my favourite one so far. ### 5/5 — Tokusatsu + SHMUP *2020-08-13, version 0.19.12* It’s a perfect combination of a hero collector, shmup, anime and tokusatsu game, the graphics are good and like the concept of taking basic power rangers/super sentai and turning them into epic heroes. Not a bad game 9.6/10 ### 4/5 — Great game! *2020-08-12* I have played the game for about 4 days, and so far I am really enjoying it, so much so that this is the first time writing a review. I would however like to see less time spent being afk and more time being able to be more active, however I have high hopes for the game as it is still in beta, I I’m exited to see how the game will grow and evolve in the future, and hope that this 4 star can be changed to a 5 stare. 4/5, would recommend, absolutely addicted ### 5/5 — Intresting *2020-08-12, version 0.19.12* Ill be honest, I dint think I was going to like this game and Im also not sure why I do, but it has been a very pleasant surprise and I really have enjoyed playing it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — September 2021 Update Ruined Everything *2021-09-08, version 1.3.4* This game was so much fun and I put years in but every since the game was updated, there are increased bugs, lag and now iOS users can’t even log in. ### 1/5 — Latest version crashes on launch or within 30 seconds *2021-09-08, version 1.3.4* This has been a decent idler up til now, but the latest version crashes on launch or within 30 seconds of logging in if it makes it past the launch screen. How did this make it past QA and get pushed to the App Store? ### 1/5 — Stuck on title screen *2020-09-27* I just kept reinstalling the game over and over again because it’s always stuck on title screen , it never even went in the game **Developer response:** Hello! We apologize for the inconvenience caused. We advise you to do the following: 1. Clear cache. 2. Check for the most updated version. 3. Check for a stable connection. 4. Restart phone. 5. Reinstall the game. We hope this helps! If you have any further issues, please feel free to send it to us at joycity.oqupie.com/portals/812. Thank you. ### 1/5 — screen time commitment *2020-08-11* this game heavily relies on you actively running the game to reap more benefits. You will even be actively punished for not committing to 20 minutes of gameplay for example. gameplay is paused for many in-game actions including the viewership of all advertisements. Gameplay content has an image not appropriate for the age rating this game has. Borderline pornographic material relative to the age recommendation. Apple absolutely has an age rating to choose from to appropriate this single image. **Developer response:** Dear player, we are sorry that we could not meet your expectations. We will make sure to deliver your feedback to our developers team. If you have any further issues, please feel free to send it to us at joycity.oqupie.com/portals/812. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2020-08-05* Played for about three weeks to give it a good chance. Waste of time sadly. Does nothing original. Is only after your money. Starves you of resources (gold, promotion orbs and cells), but that won’t matter for long! Soon you’ll have the resources, but won’t have units to invest in. The odds of getting the units you want is ridiculously low. Aside from that it’s boring. Nothing to do but linger on how long it’s been since you actually had some good luck! Seriously. Don’t bother. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear that you feel this way about the game. Please be assured your feedback is important to us and has been delivered to the developers team. We appreciate your patience and loyalty with the game in the meantime as we do our best to improve the game to ensure a better gaming experience for everyone! ### 2/5 — Game was fun *2021-05-12, version 0.26.7* I had fun playing the game until the recent update that completely reset my data. I lost all of my progress and character so I’m just not gonna play it anymore. ### 2/5 — Fun/But problems *2021-02-12, version 0.23.6* The tutorial was nice and clean, however after 2-3 hrs in my heroes were unable to do any damage to the enemy in all area/stages etc. Please have your devs look into any bugs that might have caused this type of problem. This game does have potential, but I’ll give it time before I update my review. For now 2/5 stars! ### 2/5 — Ad-Watching Simulator *2020-08-20, version 0.19.12* This bills itself as an idle game, but if you are a F2Per locks almost every aspect of play behind ads. Want it to properly play itself for 15 mins? Watch 2 ads. Leave, come back later, find you’ve progressed 100 stages but have received nothing for it. Then it has the gall to offer this functionality ad-free for the full price of a AAA game? Ahahahaha, how about no. Sadly, a strong aesthetic is all it has going for it. Kudos to the artists and composers. **Developer response:** Dear player, we are sorry that we could not meet your expectations. If you have any suggestions to help us improve the game or improve your experience, please feel free to send it to us at joycity.oqupie.com/portals/812. We will be glad to hear from you. ### 2/5 — No content *2020-08-05, version 0.18.16* The game should’ve been called “Watch endless ads: the idle gatcha game”. There’s no actual content here, it’s just all about pushing to get to a further stage. For what? Resources to get to a further stage. But there’s no end goal, the raids are a joke, missions are more idle “content”. There’s nothing fun to this game yet. Lots of potential with cool heroes but that’s about it. So many network issues. Don’t try to multitask with this game and open other apps or text someone, because you’ll come back to find your progress from the past several minutes was lost, including any Rushes you used. Everything in the store is INCREDIBLY overpriced. If you’re not willing to spend real money you can’t buy 95% of the shop. Coming from other gatchas, this game is just a bad deal in comparison. **Developer response:** Dear player, we are sorry that we could not meet your expectations.

Thank you. ### 2/5 — Failed to connect to login server *2020-07-18, version 0.18.16* Just downloaded the game to give it a try and can’t even play. Every time it try’s connecting to login server it fails. I tried to find if anyone else had this problem or if There was maintenance going on but found nothing.
