The character art is cool and there’re a decent amount of them. New heroes added pretty regularly. Only downside for me at least is the hero progression as ftp and matchmaking against much stronger opponents. Overall it’s a great game though I recommend ### 2/5 — Mediocre cash grab *2025-06-10, version 15.0.0* Doesn’t bring anything new to the genera, just a reskin of this style of game designed to force players into spending money. If you don’t care give it a go I deleted it after it crashed on me, just wasn’t worth any more of my time ### 4/5 — Fun Game *2025-05-28* It's a consistently good game. Good pace, challenging but not overbearing, achievable rewards, and I really enjoyed the mechanics. The store needs work, if only that I shouldn't have to scroll through 8 ads to sell me things to get to the game store. Annoying. ### 3/5 — Needs balance changes *2025-04-02, version 13.0.1* More attention needs to paid to balance changes. Certain heroes are far stronger at low level. Deep Conqueror can be used multiple times across the board with no loss of ability making it easy to wipe an opponent out. Also the monetisation strategy is so outdated and off putting it makes it worthless to invest anything into it. ### 4/5 — Feels like a revival of a game *2025-02-11* This game feels extremely similar to a game that died called Random dice:Go (which is a great game)and when I read the some of the abilities there copied word for word. There’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration tho I can’t wait to see how the devs evolve this game ### 2/5 — Needs updates *2024-11-23, version 11.0.1* Once you get to 5k and over its boring fast as no1 is human you play against. Game needs changes as theres no fun no more, needs better challenges or even rewards or ‘quests’ to keep game interesting. Game has huge potential but hasnt changed in months which is frustrating hence the 2 star rating ### 4/5 — What a great game. No updates though? *2024-11-19* Man I’m really enjoying this game. Great blend of RNG/ strategy. And it’s not pay to win - you can easily beat people with more upgrades if you have better strategy which is rare for games in this lane. The game seems to cap at 5630 trophies which is weird I made it there in a few months - I’d love to see extended progression and more features. So bare bones compared to other games like it. No updates - like new units or balancing. No events to keep it fresh or clan functionality - feels like there is zero engagement. Now that I’m capped on trophies - it feels like there’s nothing to play for anymore. ### 3/5 — Good but frustrating *2024-10-28, version 10.1.0* This game is really good. I love the method and strategy you have to use to win. But…the rewards you get from progressing are so small it’s so hard to really move forward. That’s why it’s a 3 star from me ### 2/5 — we need chinese *2024-10-26, version 10.1.0* we need chinese ### 5/5 — We Need Global Leaderboard. *2024-10-21* We need rewards for being at the top when you put up the leader boards **Developer response:** We hear you - top players definitely deserve rewards! We’re working on a competitive system with prizes for players who climb to the top. Thanks for the great suggestion, and keep an eye out for more exciting updates coming soon! ### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome game that just needs tweaking *2024-10-19* This game definitely needs some clans and guild as well as instructions. I still have no idea what the gems are for that I have and some of the game mechanics that people complain about I personally enjoy, and it is strategic when you place something, knowing that it will be targeted before something else due to distance. This could possibly be solved by breaking down classes or factions that will automatically seek out other factions first etc.. ### 3/5 — Promising *2024-10-17* This is a cool premise. However, the “tactics” are flawed. Players should be able to choose what each card targets (closest, biggest threat, closest to the same level) before the match starts. Or, make all cards target the closest hero to their own level. The random targeting policy doesn’t work well. Also, the total count towards winning should include all the levels of all cards left on the board. I can fully upgrade one card to kill 10 cards around it and still lose because the player gave up and just scattered random cards out of reach. Also, the banner across the screen at the start of matches references cards from your other game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Hero Tactics is designed to be challenging, and we’re constantly working on balance and ensuring a fair play environment. We appreciate your input and are committed to improving the experience for all players. Stay tuned for future updates! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — pay to win *2026-03-19, version 16.0.4* endgame is just upgrade dependent. super hard to get your fav guys leveled up ### 1/5 — Bots *2025-02-01, version 12.0.2* Game is literally designed to make ya lose to try and get you to spend money. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-12-29* The game is addictive i give it that. But pvp is confusing. No instructions how to do it. We get frequent pop ups for a challenge from others but nothing happens, the excitement of something that doesn’t happen is aggravating. The game no longer make sense. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled you’re finding the game addictive, but we’re sorry to hear about your confusion with PvP challenges. Your insights are super valuable, and we’ll review the clarity around instructions and matchmaking to improve your experience. Stay tuned for updates! ### 1/5 — Typical pay to win scam *2024-12-24* This game had so much potential, they did so well trying to hide the pay to win scam that is all the games in the Apple store nowdays, showing no photos of their little currency before you download the app, and then you start to play and it’s all the instant rewards while hiding the monetiziation efforts, forcing you through tutorials and then, when you’re finally able to control the game and not be forced around, you unveil that it’s just another pay to win game, complete with a little shop, and ridiculous prices, designed to frustrate little children and manipulate them into spending money. Can’t believe this is a mini clip game, my how they have fallen, they used to be reputable back in early 1990’s. -_-, now they’re just a scam. Apple really doesn’t want people talking about the ways in which these micro transactional games scam your children, manipulate and frustrate them with unseen massive increases in difficulty, or AI cheating, designed to make you think if you just spend money after all the fun you previously just had, you’ll get that same high again. Apple is turning children into drug addicts. ### 1/5 — Love it a bit , mostly frustrates me *2024-11-02, version 10.1.0* It’s a great concept , enough that I’ve dropped some money in it …. However …. The targeting is broken, even when not taunted I see my units making questionable decisions on who to target within its range. Often ignoring an opponent that would win or draw me the round in favour of one that means I’ll lose. Or a Lightning Wizard faced with a choice of a long group of opponents that he can target through his special skill (literally what he’s designed for) ignore the group for an individual in the opposite direction who isn’t even taunting , but is just there. It makes no sense !! Also The card draw is what decides the game and the probabilities are not even. There are games where certain cards just don’t get put in the choice of two. If you calculate the probability of that card turning up over a game or multiple games it shouldn’t happen the way it is. So …. Because of the card draw, the game kind of chooses who wins. The card drop can be really key to how the game unfolds, add in the targeting and the game engine decides who wins as much as strategy does. That said I love the game and the concept. But I’m deleting it now because it’s to broken in my opinion ### 1/5 — Win one, Lose one endgame *2024-10-26, version 10.1.0* Same old horrible matchmaking. Easy opponent. Overpowered opponent. Ads. Than deals on shop. Early hero is rng based and if he doesnt proc you lose. ### 1/5 — More P2W Junk *2024-10-22, version 10.1.0* Copy and pasted like every other game in this genre and you only play against bots. Severely disappointing from Miniclip ### 1/5 — Rigged *2024-10-18* I’m up to the 3rd island or map and all of a sudden I’m unable to win any games or even rounds at this point. I just downloaded this game and I find it that wherever I place my units the enemy will always manage to know exactly where I placed them and destroy me with ease. So I’ve tried a few other games placing my units in other various spots but still the same result. I thoroughly hate this game now and don’t recommend anyone to play it. It’s a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Fun until you get to 1000 trophies *2024-10-08, version 10.1.0* People just are pay to win and use cheese strats to win, you guys want to be team tactics fight so bad but you arent ### 1/5 — Love it a bit , mostly hate it *2024-10-04* It’s a great concept , enough that I’ve dropped some money in it ….

It’s fun, good paced and has some strategy to it. I’ve spent some real money, but it’s not necessary to progress. I feel like it is on the expensive side for some of the bundles. Overall, I highly recommend if you like these types of games. ### 5/5 — Perfect balance *2025-01-09* Amazing game, simple, but deep. Not p2w, but you can pay to get better. Just a great time. ### 5/5 — Good F2P Game *2024-11-29* Been good to me so far ! The ads are optional! and only used for bonuses for wins and losses and only limited to so many. You can compete without ever purchasing anything. It’s been great ! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2024-11-22, version 11.0.1* This is a really fun game. The battles are well balanced with lots of interesting characters. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-11-21, version 11.0.1* Good game but they need to make leader boards and more characters other then that great game ### 5/5 — What a great game. No updates though? *2024-11-21* Update: How you going to update with all the things I asked for the DAY after I write this review? You wish to have me seen as an imbecile do you?! Man I’m really enjoying this game. Great blend of RNG/ strategy. And it’s not pay to win - you can easily beat people with more upgrades if you have better strategy which is rare for games in this lane.
