### 4/5 — 한국어 패치 언제 해주시나요?

*2026-08-13*

한국어만 되면 딱인데요..

**Developer response:** 이 게임은 한국어로 플레이할 수 있습니다. 설정 메뉴에서 언어를 변경할 수 있습니다. 다만, 전문 번역가들이 번역 작업을 진행 중이므로 한국어 번역이 완벽하지는 않습니다.

The game can be played in the Korean language. You can change the language selection in the settings menu. However, the Korean translation is not perfect yet, as our professional human translators are still working on it.

### 4/5 — Dommage pas en français

*2026-08-02*

Sinon top le jeu

**Developer response:** An update was just released yesterday with French translations! Please update and let me know what you think :)

### 4/5 — Manque le FRANÇAIS

*2026-07-26*

Bon jeux bien pensé dommage pas en français

**Developer response:** French translation (as well as many other languages) is completed and in testing. It will be released late this week! :)

### 3/5 — Traduzir para o PORTUGUÊS

*2026-06-20*

Se fosse em português seria um jogo bem viável.

### 2/5 — Sem tradução!

*2026-05-28*

Sem idioma em PT- BR. Desinstalando.

### 2/5 — Tiếng

*2026-04-22, version 15.11*

Ko có tiếng việt

### 4/5 — My steam progress on pc didn’t save on my mobile

*2026-02-28, version 14.31*

(Some of) my progress on my pc didn’t save to my mobile progress is there a way to fix this?

### 4/5 — En français

*2026-02-19*

Le jeu est top , seul problème il n’est pas en français

### 3/5 — Super Game Aber….

*2026-02-17*

Finde das Spiel ein super Game, klar P2W aber geht auch ohne. Das einzige was noch fehlt German Übersetzung !!!

Leider steht vor 1 Jahr schon das Thema Deutsche Übersetzung aber leider kein Update…. Wenn der Entwickler 1 Jahr braucht Dan ist das schon traurig.

**Developer response:** I'm glad you like the game! Sorry about the lack of German translation. I am a solo developer with not a ton of time on my hands to work on so many things. Localizing the game into multiple languages has been on my to-do list forever, but it's quite a big task! I'll get to it eventually, I promise! :)

### 2/5 — Money money money

*2026-02-09, version 14.31*

Classic idle game. Quite fun and sucks you in but then makes you pay if you want to make actual progress.

### 2/5 — Interesting - Late game is $$$$

*2026-02-02, version 14.31*

It’s an interesting puzzle style game. 3 weeks in, and I’ve passed wave 4000 and I now see that it’s basically a linear progression from here on out.  Hurry up and wait to build the next team, while being indicted to spend $$$$ to progress.  Even the free to play late game rewards are all Advertisment based.   Bummer.

### 5/5 — Great game. Endless hours of incremental fun.

*2026-01-09, version 14.23*

There are pretty limited ads. You don’t even have to watch one if you don’t want to. All the purchases are permanent which is nice. No “seasonal” purchases every month. The Dev Tbiz is very kind and helpful with any problems. This is probably the best idle tower defense I’ve played.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-12-05, version 14.22*

Super fun game and a great community around it, no it’s not as hard as you think I made it to wave 1.3k in 1 day

### 4/5 — Why

*2025-12-04, version 14.22*

I can’t beat round 9️⃣4️⃣

### 2/5 — Différentes langues

*2025-12-03*

Vous écrivez que le français est disponible dans les langues du jeu. Et c’est faux… toujours que de l’anglais. A quand le français ?

**Developer response:** Désolé, je travaille seul et un projet d'une telle envergure me prend énormément de temps. Je prévois toujours d'ajouter le français, mais de nombreuses autres mises à jour de contenu sont prioritaires. Je m'occuperai d'autres langues prochainement, dès que j'aurai le temps.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-20, version 14.21*

This is the best idle game mixed tower defence I have played the only thing I think I would improve on is the speed of rounds 5X i think may if it would go to 10X or 15X but apart from that keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Idioma

*2025-11-18*

Precisamos do idioma português PT/BR

**Developer response:** It is coming in a future update :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-08-25, version 16.03*

It’s a fine game however progression is so slow…I bought every permanent buff and soent hundreds on top and barely any progress…late game upgrades take over 1 month without paying to speed up and the speed ups would cost over 500 to pay for each…expect years to level your troops ranks unless you leave game open 24/7 which most do using PC programs to play. This is the slowest grind and abusive pay to win game I have seen

### 1/5 — 中文哪去了？

*2026-04-26, version 15.11*

不是說有中文 怎麼都沒找到在哪

### 1/5 — 한글패치 언제 되는거야?

*2026-01-30*

한글 지원 언제쯤 ??

**Developer response:** 죄송합니다. 더 많은 언어 지원은 현재 개발 중이며 향후 제공될 예정입니다.

### 1/5 — 看到很久之前就說會更新中文了

*2025-09-30, version 13.04*

結果都沒有 刪遊～

### 1/5 — Battle pass

*2025-07-09, version 12.40*

I bought the premium battle pass for $24.99 and was charged $74.34

### 1/5 — terrible game and admin

*2025-04-20, version 12.1*

To play this game and feel comfortable - you need to donate money. And the game administrator can block you at any time, without explaining the reason, and the money that you spent on the game (in my case it was $ 2000), he will simply keep for himself, and your account will be blocked. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE!!!

### 1/5 — 繁體中文？

*2025-04-14, version 11.72*

我看有寫繁體中文我才下載，結果找不到哪裡可以變中文？

### 1/5 — Leider nicht auf deutsch.

*2025-01-15*

In der Beschreibung steht das das Spiel auf deutsch ist. Stimmt leider nicht. 
Spiel schaut zwar gut aus aber ohne deutsche Sprache nur 1 Stern und es wird wieder gelöscht. Sehr schade.

**Developer response:** Hmm, ich bin mir nicht sicher, warum da steht, dass das Spiel in deutscher Sprache ist. Das ist es nicht. Es ist nur auf Englisch. Aber es steht weltweit zum Download zur Verfügung. Vielleicht haben Sie das also gesehen? Wie auch immer, es tut mir leid, Sie über die sprachlichen Einschränkungen enttäuschen zu müssen. Ich arbeite jedoch daran, das Spiel in weitere Sprachen zu lokalisieren, sodass ich hoffentlich in naher Zukunft eine deutsche Version für Sie veröffentlichen kann :)

### 1/5 — Wow

*2024-12-29, version 11.46*

Just did a nerf that lowered personal heroes global exp after they added it and people used the in game paid currency for resets.

### 1/5 — 沒中文狗都不完

*2024-11-14, version 11.2*

沒中文狗都不完..

### 5/5 — 한국어 아직인가요?

*2026-05-06*

한국어 아직인가요?

### 5/5 — 한국어

*2026-03-30*

한국어 패치좀해라 게임좀하자

### 5/5 — 仍然沒有中文

*2026-03-29, version 15.04*

2026年了仍然沒有中文
我很希望玩你們的遊戲
但沒有中文，我真的很煩惱
你們Apps的介紹上寫有支持中文
但是為何到了2026年還是不能夠支持中文
我很希望你們能夠正視問題
這是否說明你們在欺騙玩家
希望這個遊戲能看見有中文的一天

### 5/5 — Linguagem

*2026-02-23*

Coloquem em português por favor

### 5/5 — Best tower idle infinite offline rewards

*2026-01-23, version 14.31*

Idle Hero TD is one of those rare idle games that actually respects your time. It never feels pay to win. Progress comes from smart decisions and steady play rather than opening your wallet, which immediately puts it ahead of most games in the genre.

One of its most unique features is the infinite offline rewards system. Unlike typical idlers that cap how long you can be away, Idle Hero TD keeps rewarding you no matter how long you are offline. That alone makes it stand out and makes the game feel genuinely idle friendly instead of punishing.

The depth of hero building and team composition is truly impressive. There is real strategy here, from how you develop individual heroes to how you combine them into a team that synergizes well. Experimenting with different setups is rewarding and keeps the gameplay fresh even after long stretches of play.

The development team deserves a lot of credit. They actively review player suggestions and clearly listen to feedback. Balance updates are thoughtful, and they do a great job maintaining quality of life for both new players and long time veterans without alienating either group.

On top of all that, major updates are released often, adding new content and systems that keep the game evolving. Idle Hero TD feels alive, well supported, and designed with players in mind. If you enjoy idle games with real depth and fair progression, this one is absolutely worth your time.
