It’s just a simple game. ### 1/5 — Broken level *2026-04-22, version 2.4.5* Progress is impossible after 8-2 as the level crashes the game everytime you play it, please fix! ### 1/5 — Game is fun but…huge bug *2026-03-22, version 2.4.5* Game is really fun. Really enjoy it. However it’s gotten to the point where once I get to “Wano Country” towers the game crashes and I lose my progress halfway thru the level. Really annoying and impossible to get thru. ### 1/5 — 开裆裤 *2026-03-08, version 2.4.5* 垃圾 ### 3/5 — I Hate this Game *2026-01-05, version 2.4.5* MzfjiZU I$EH,m ### 4/5 — Chapter 8 problems! *2026-01-01, version 2.4.5* Chapter 8 has a HUGE problem crashing. 8-3 crashed on me for months and now it is 8-4. Decent game, but needs to fix the crashing!!! ### 3/5 — Has Potential, Need to fix bugs and balance of pay to win vs free to play. *2025-12-12, version 2.4.4* Updated review after some noticeable fixes. I did make it to level 8-3 ( after many ads to allow for upgrades and revives, only way to advance if you are not spending real money. Unfortunately glitch ( crashes after killing an enemy) on level 8-3, 3rd tower, keeps occurring. Great potential, and have seen developers make updates/fixes based on feedback. Game really is a pay to win game, but can advance if you watch ads. ### 3/5 — Has Potential, Need to fix bugs and balance of pay to win vs free to play. *2025-12-09, version 2.4.4* Updated review after some noticeable fixes. I did make it to level 8-3 ( after many ads to allow for upgrades and revives, only way to advance if you are not spending real money. Unfortunately glitch on level 8-3, 3rd tower, keeps occurring. Weapon upgrades do nothing, skill gems do nothing. Only way to get past anything beyond castle 2 level 10 is to either buy enough gems to continue, or watch hours of ads to get the gems. Even then, some levels are impossible to beat, due to the major numbers gap, and limited enemies to increase your base number ( because weapons and skills do nothing) and apparently you can only buy so many continues with gems, even if you have plenty in stash. Spells are random and only work if the enemy number gap is lower or close, otherwise your for sure dead, using another continue. If you are coding that much logic to get people to pay, the don’t put it as a free game. Just be honest with people. Had so much potential, but read your comments and notice the theme. Pick a side, you are either a free game that can be beat with skill, or you are a pay to play game. ### 1/5 — “Watching ads” - the game. *2025-11-27, version 2.4.4* Games like this, I wished I had an ad blocker… Can’t even play fo2 seconds without watching ten ads. :( ### 4/5 — Alright *2025-11-16, version 2.4.4* This game was fun to play but it has some flaws and it gets boring plus this was nothing like the ad ## Frequently asked questions about Hero Castle Wars ### What is Hero Castle Wars?
