I mean I can afford it but why does one need to spend money on the game when you can push the buying into things like weapons, classes or even resources. I js think it would raise your game even more if you made the story free and focused on other smaller things the player could buy instead. ### 2/5 — Greed *2025-04-22, version 8.4* Very Good game. However, it is a buy to win game. You need to pay $3 to have access to the whole gameplay, and if you dont, it would just give you harder levels which would take weeks to complete it. ### 2/5 — Good game but don’t like the misleading way they get you to spend money. *2025-02-23, version 8.2* I like the game great game but when I went to go to the second island it said I had to buy the full version which I didn’t know I had to and it said no where in the game description in the App Store so I kinda wasted 2 hours of my time. but otherwise great game! ### 2/5 — Money hungry *2024-10-21, version 8.2* It was good until it said I need to pay to continue. ### 4/5 — Good, but *2024-09-14, version 8.2* This game is a good game. I love playing it. However, once you get to a certain point the levels are unbeatable. I don’t mean when you get to level like 45 and things are supposed to be hard, I mean at like level 9. There are simply to many archers to beat any level. 92 archers, really, it’s impossible and can’t be beaten. Other than that, I like the game. ### 3/5 — Please make Units Smarter *2024-08-14, version 8.2* Herodom is a Great game in my opinion but my units don’t always move. For example they stand there and get attack and they don’t go in groups. Maybe you could make them behave like the enemy and charge on go. This is only an important suggestion for the game. ### 2/5 — Game is good but redundant *2024-07-06, version 8.2* Nice overall game but no more upgrades after a point and then enemies get super hard. No replay value. Rinse and repeat. Would be better if added upgrades as game progresses ### 4/5 — Hubo un pequeño error *2024-02-18, version 8.2* Cuando jugaba en un nivel y cuando pongo lanceros y empieza la batalla cuando caminan sus lanzas se desaparecen y apareciendo, es como si parpadean las lanzas ### 3/5 — Fun concept poor content *2023-04-23, version 8.1* The game is fun, but then it gets impossible. There is no way to upgrade your troops nor your heroes. I personally didn’t like it. Also the farming aspect of this game is poor and doesn’t give you resources ### 5/5 — Great RTS! *2023-04-13, version 8.1* I really enjoy this game! As of right now I only have the free version, despite the limits for the free version, I keep finding myself coming back to re-play missions. I plan on buying the full game soon, I can’t wait! I’d highly recommend giving this game a try. ### 2/5 — Meh *2023-04-11, version 8.1* The gameplay is decent but the fact that the text is SO slow makes the game unbearable. I don't want to wait for a minute for the text to appear onscreen. Give me an option to make it instant or bust. ### 5/5 — fun *2023-04-10, version 8.1* i like ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Игра забабки не Бесплатная не начинайте *2025-02-16, version 8.2* Игра за бабло ### 1/5 — … *2025-01-10, version 8.2* El juego está bastante bien solo al principio luego, para continuar jugando ahí que pagar ### 1/5 — Wow *2024-09-12, version 8.2* Well I was enjoying the game… until I couldn’t play anymore, unless I buy the full game.. so this is basically a “demo” I can replay the levels I already beat and I can play 2 impossible levels. Like quite litterally impossible unless I buy the full game. That’s very unfortunate… wish I could’ve kept playing. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your life on this “demo” *2024-05-25* If this game told me at the begging that it wasn’t the whole game, I would be fine with it. But it doesn’t, it tries to trick you by abruptly forcing you to pay $5.00 for the full game after only 4 levels. Now I’ve played a few mobile games (somewhere around 150) and there have been many significantly better games, that were both paid and cost less and were free This game not being worth $5.00 aside, I understand a developer wanting to give you the opportunity to play a demo so you want to buy the game and how much time it might take to make a separate game in the App Store that is just the demo… BUT, it would only take like 15 minutes to add a screen that says “this is not the whole game” and I don’t think that is much to ask unless the developer is scum and trying to trick people on purpose. That being said, I would be more than happy to change this review at the time that change would be added, so that I know that the developer isn’t scum. And you can likely disregard whatever the dev says as a reply to this as the responses on other reviews look completely lifeless and meaningless **Developer response:** Hi there, Thanks for your review. I try to give everyone the opportunity to try Herodom before you need to decide whether to buy it or not. It's already clearly visible in the AppStore that Herodom has an in-app purchase, and you can also see which one. I think it's only fair to allow someone to try out the game before buying it. Calling someone "scum" is quite offensive, especially since I am trying to make a fair and most importantly fun gaming experience, and the try out is part of that. I hope you understand my reasoning. All the best, the de­vel­op­er ### 1/5 — Херовый дом *2024-01-29, version 8.2* Херовый дом ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-07-24, version 8.1* I really like the game at first so i purchased it but i regret buying it. Theres no explanation as to how to do anything or what anything does. I cant buy seeds but i have no idea why. I cant raise chickens but it dosent explain why or what i need to do. Theres no tutorial and very little information online. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-07-03, version 8.1* It’s crashes after you invest your best chow on your army. The game makes you work so hard for it in the first place. At least, if the game crashes, revert to last save before the battle. ### 1/5 — Herodom *2023-04-22, version 8.1* Во первых не понятно куда что тыкать Во вторых говорит мол купи и играй дальше В третьих удаляю ### 1/5 — Catapult *2023-03-12, version 8.1* The catapults are bugged and won’t shoot ### 1/5 — It sucks *2023-01-30, version 8.1* The helms for the Spartans are not accurate and the helms are designed like Roman helmets it’s the worst unaccurate game I’ve seen the spartan helmets are NOT LIKE THAT ITS SO UNACCURATE whoever made this is bad at history also the v from a spartan shield it’s supposed to be an A so that’s unappealing but for real it sucks so much also if you read this type Corinthian helmet to see the truth. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dev fixed *2025-04-09, version 8.4* Thanks to the dev for fixing the scaling issues so quickly, fantastic job and love the game, really fun! ### 5/5 — New content please *2025-03-04, version 8.2* Yall gotta drop some more content I’ve had installed so long after I’ve beaten it but I bought the in app purchase for all levels so I don’t want too delete it bc it’s a good little game but it’s been soooo long ### 5/5 — Hay *2024-08-10, version 8.2* Mới chơi thấy hay ### 5/5 — When update? *2024-06-01, version 8.2* Pls bro update update or I go crazy and update it myself, and continue the map and pirate storyline. ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2024-04-29, version 8.2* Le jeu est incroyable, mais je n’ai pas le luxe de pouvoir mettre de l’argent sur des jeux mobile malheureusement. J’espère en tout cas que vous continuerez à travailler sur des jeux comme ca vous êtes au top. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-01-30, version 8.2* The very good game , sad what i dont have money to buy full version but game still good ### 5/5 — Daymn…. That’s good *2023-11-01, version 8.1* The game is Actually Really Nice , I actually chuckled from the NPC’S dialogue in the background , and I love the customization, The graphics , The mechanics , It’s actually great considering it’s a mobile game , really a breath of premium fresh air from the other crap , I really recommend it , Good Job for dev ### 5/5 — J’ai testé mais *2023-09-20, version 8.1* Apres le petit test j’avoue que le jeux me plait énormément cependant 2 gros points penchent sue le fait que je n’achèterais pas pour le moment. 1 le jeux est uniquement en russe pour moi impossible de changer la langue.. meme anglais m’aurai suffit 2 de nos jours acheter un jeux sur téléphones reste éphémère, le nombre de tres bon jeux que j’ai acheter qui ont fermer et plus donner de nouvelle alors que j’ai acheter pour un produit qui dorénavant m’est interdit me rend retissent a l achat de jeux sur téléphones Pourtant le jeux est juste super niveaux gameplay et je pense meme que l histoire peut être interessante si il y a moyen de changer la langue. J’espère un retour du développeur pour me faire changer d avis sur ce non a l achat de cette app qui me paraît si prometteuse. ### 5/5 — The is freaking good!! *2023-09-02, version 8.1* The game is good and has a nice graphic cuz i like pixel arts yes thats all but honestly i want the full version but can't buy it for now but sooner i will purchase the full version! If I have a money haha nice game!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-06-01, version 8.1* It’s definitely a great game was there sure what I was getting into when I purchased the full version but it was well worth it. I have been hooked the last couple days now for sure. The only thing I have to say is I wish there was much more content in the game. The game has so much more potential to be on top !!!! More content would definitely be worth adding --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
