## What is Idle Heroes Tycoon?

Sir Knight, Invaders are coming!
Please protect our poor kingdom.

Save Princess Elizabeth. There are no good knights or brave soldiers in the kingdom. The lord is afraid of an invasion from the neighboring kingdom.

I can't wait any longer, worrying about the future of the kingdom.
Young people who love our kingdom, gather!!

The Warrior suitable for slime
The Wizard who can't even throw a fireball
The Archer who can't hit anything
The Healer who can't heal the sick 

Mischievous mercenaries have come to protect the kingdom.
But my heart does not lose to anyone.

Join the mercenaries in this idle tycoon game!
Take care of your kingdom right now

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2022-11-05, version 1.0.26*

This game is very good and I love it

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2022-10-10, version 1.0.20*

So far so good

### 2/5 — Interesting game but intentionally frustrating obstacles

*2022-08-09, version 1.0.10*

You have three slots for instructors but it is capped at two instructors.  WHY?????

**Developer response:** Hello. [ Sgerto ]
Thank you for playing our game.

Slots are gradually increased by clearing the main level.

We will share your feedback with the development team. We will do our best to improve the game and make it fun.


Thank you

### 1/5 — Forced tutorial

*2022-08-05, version 1.0.10*

Stop forcing me to do the tutorial and let me just play the game

**Developer response:** Hello [ Cakekizy ]

We read your review carefully. 

We will forward what you said to the development team.
And we will think about improvement.

Thank you.
Have a nice day~

### 1/5 — Cute graphics but overloaded with ads

*2022-07-28, version 1.0.7*

Good mix of environments with graphics, simple ish mechanics however those are overrode by costs changing between levels, lack of access to run “levels” again so units can’t level unless gems (RMC) are used. Greatest challenge to this game is the immense amount of ads that are not optional. Insane amounts of ads to watch needed to keep up with the curve of the game.

**Developer response:** Hello [ Savagegoob ] 
we are very sorry for the inconvenience. 

We will forward the 'Ads' you mentioned to the development team
And we will think about improvement.

Thank you for your valuable review!
Have a nice day~

### 4/5 — Good game

*2022-07-28, version 1.0.7*

Basic but it serves its purpose and has offline capabilities

**Developer response:** Hello~ [ diRtybUshE ]

Thank you for your valuable review!
We will be adding more interesting content in the future!
Thank you for your interest and love~

Thank you
Have a nice day~🌈

### 1/5 — 欺骗

*2022-07-27, version 1.0.7*

垃圾游戏，欺骗说有7种语言，进入才3种。而且强制弹广告

**Developer response:** 你好。 [ 棒子该死 ] 
感谢您喜欢我们的游戏。

我们也想翻译贵国的语言。
一旦您所在国家/地区有更多用户，我们将添加翻译。
（请把我们的游戏告诉你身边的人~）

我们计划在未来进行更多有趣的更新。
请期待。谢谢你
有美好的一天

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2022-07-26, version 1.0.7*

Forced ads, and 1 of the 100s of forced cards for automate and controlled by constant move to new map.

**Developer response:** Hello [ Rhah123 ] 
we are very sorry for the inconvenience. 

We will forward the 'Ads' you mentioned to the development team
And we will think about improvement.

Thank you for your valuable review!
Have a nice day~

### 1/5 — Same thing but worse

*2022-07-24, version 1.0.7*

Exactly the same as a bunch of the idle money maker games but it doesn't pull it off well. Like all the others you need an “instructor” to automate each stage but when you advance it requires higher level instructors. This would be fine but it doesn't give near enough cards to upgrade them in time nor does it give enough elixir to upgrade them so you're stuck clicking… defeats being an idle game huh
Also so many full screen ads

**Developer response:** Hello [ baisjfbs ]

We read your review carefully. 

We will forward what you said to the development team.
And we will think about improvement.

Thank you.
Have a nice day~

### 2/5 — Great potential, ruined by forced ads

*2022-07-17, version 1.0.3*

I completed the first level (which only took a couple minutes) and was pretty excited to continue playing, since the gameplay seemed promising… only to get hit with an unexpected full-screen ad.

Forced (interstitial) ads are a plague on mobile gaming. The moment I see one, I uninstall.
