It’s simple, has intuitive controls, but requires a lot of skill to master. There are campaign and multiplayer modes, so a player can switch and not get too bored with either one. Each level and environment feels unique and challenging in its own way. Every battle definitely takes time and effort to complete, so this is perfect for serious gamers. The art style and music are also stunning. Other strategy games usually have issues like pay-to-win, complex mechanics, repetitiveness, and poor design. So HEROish was a really rare find. I’m hoping for a sequel or at least more levels added to campaign. This has been an incredible adventure. ### 1/5 — Not fun *2025-04-21, version 1.4.0* This game is not fun in the slightest bit. How it gets 4.6 stars I’ll never know ### 4/5 — Fun game, but short and not too replayable *2025-02-13* Really enjoy the game. I’d give 4.5 stars if that was an option. I’ve completed the campaign and played multi-player. Multi-player seems to have very few players. End up playing AI almost all the time. A couple improvements would make the game more replayable. I suggest currency refunds for “de-leveling” cards, so it would be easy to experiment with different combinations after already leveling one set of cards. I’d also like to be able to replay specific battles from the campaigns, not just an entire campaign. ### 5/5 — Yuen *2025-02-01, version 1.4.0* Awesome gameit is so good ### 1/5 — Honestly love this game but the cheating is ridiculous. *2025-01-29, version 1.4.0* Love pretty much every aspect of the game and I do mostly win but ranked has some glaring issues with obvious cheats. There needs to be a reporting system in place cuz I can play 15 matches and the begin of every match is smooth and glitch free but once I bust two towers all of the sudden the game gets glitchy and laggy? And when I’m genuinely just being bested the match never hits a single speed bump. I’m not going to stop playing cuz I can still pull out wins against these plays but it needs to be addressed. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-01-25, version 1.4.0* Play with my brother he’s so fun 🤩 ### 1/5 — Easy mode- not so easy *2025-01-16, version 1.4.0* First bit of game play is fun. If something was a bit challenging I would just go do a side fight or two, level up some cards and then breeze through. Until I got to mount Ursa…. Even though my hero is level 10. Even though I restarted the campaign and was EXTREMELY strategic with how I spent gold to level cards. Even though I went and watched MULTIPLE tutorials and how-to videos on strategy. Even though I double checked and made sure it was on the easiest setting possible. Even though this is FAR from the first of games like this I have played. I. Cannot. Complete. This. Level. In the examples I have watched the hero run back and forth easily clearing in front of the cart you have to protect and then running behind and delaying the bear king. A few times it would get close, but then it seemed like the bear king stopped following altogether and they coast to the end of the level almost without difficulty. Bear king blows right through to the wagon. Barely able to be slowed by my hero who is level 10 when the icon on the stage is an 8. Tried building up army in front of wagon and then soloing the boss to slow him. Tried building up behind and trying to clear the way in front. Also bomb…. Tried mix of the two. Tried micro-adjusting when I throw the levers for the logs and the rock slides to maybe stun bear king and do better that way. I have attempted this level at least a couple dozens times. Researched and tried leveling cards differently and RESTARTED THE WHOLE GAME 4 times. 4. Blessed. Times. Beginning to this same stage. On easy mode the whole way every time. For those of you, “well you just aren’t good at strategy games” crowd… have played them for years. I don’t want a super insanely challenging game most of the time unless that’s what I am setting out for. Hence the “easy” setting. I have medical issues- lots of them. Physical in nature so I can’t really go out and DO things so games are all I really have. This COULD have been a great game that would improve actual quality of life for me. Instead it just feels way too much like the repetitive struggle of daily life which I live on HARD mode as is. I have difficulty eating and functioning in daily life. Don’t waste my energy and time with misleading statements. Don’t call it “easy” mode when it isn’t. The balance is completely off and it seems like it isn’t even able to be completed. Try it on an iPhone on “easy” mode yourself and see how far you get. To mount Ursa… and then no further I bet. ### 5/5 — The best battle game *2024-11-24, version 1.3.0* The best game in world.I used to have this on my old iPad ### 5/5 — Y no mor levels! *2024-11-17, version 1.3.0* Best game graphics cool 🆒 controllers really good 👍 but add mor levels! This game is really fun and adventurous so please add mor levels! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-08-19, version 1.3.0* I’ve been playing this game for two years now. It’s a blast. It took me a minute to understand the pace but when I did I began to play it almost every day. Super Fun! ## Frequently asked questions about HEROish ### What kind of game is HEROish?
