I hope they do more with this game. ### 4/5 — We shall see *2020-12-14, version 2.00.1* This is a good break away game for taking a break from the normal. The rate for heroes are not that great and getting resources seems to be the main issue already. I can’t wait to see what changes can be made to evolve this game ### 4/5 — It’s a good game at best *2020-11-21, version 2.00.0* So I’ve only been playing about a month or so and the drop rewards for summon is as usual as they get. The prices on items in the shop is a bit ridiculous but aren’t they all. The new update is good. Plenty of rewards. Only problem for me is when I’m suppose to be resisting attacks I take a lot more damage then normal. Idk if that’s suppose to happen but it’s annoying other than that great game ### 4/5 — Pretty great game, but. . . *2020-11-08, version 1.15.0* I’ve been playing this game for a little bit now, honestly pretty addicted. Seems like your typical mobile strategy rpg. My only gripe is the character models are garbage. The portraits are great, and show pretty amazing characters, but then in game they are ugly, very poorly made trash. Some of the characters look nothing like their portrait, and it’s honestly just disappointing. Draw a new character, get super hyped for how cool they look, then use them and just want to quit. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2020-10-13, version 1.14.4* Been playing for a week or so now can definitely compete as a free to play player the game gives you so many free rewards just for playing. The community is also very nice and helpful. Overall amazing game definitely worth a try ### 4/5 — Good start *2020-10-12, version 1.14.4* 3 days in and they have a good start on this. It has all the normal elements, story, tower of challenge, awakening dungeon, etc. So far the devs seem generous with giveaways so new players can come up to speed quickly. The tune management is clearly a wait in progress. Filters are basic and sorting is even worse. They have placeholders for additional options so hopefully in an update or two they will have that fleshed out. If you are looking for an alternative to other Summoners War type games, this one has promise, but is not completed yet. Get in on the ground floor! ### 5/5 — New Hotness *2020-10-07, version 1.14.4* It’s hard for me to get into a mobile game since the love of my life Summoners War but this right here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They start you off with a nat 5 and decent rune set. The monsters are dope, they have iconic biblical monsters (I personally have always been an Arch Angel Ralphel fan). To put the cherry on top it’s set in medieval I love that era we get to use iconic knights such as King Arthur and Lancelot. Knights, Angels, Demons etc, in a turn based game. Sorry Summoners War I won’t be coming home every night. ### 5/5 — Just Download it *2020-09-19, version 1.14.2* I’m not going to tell you this is the best app I’ve ever played but i will say download it to give it a chance. I was skeptical and waited 2weeks after global launch and now I wish I had downloaded when it first came out. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-18, version 1.14.2* Really a great game for semi casual tactics players. I feel it helps you out fairly well along the story and isnt fully p2p. I find myself using different units in different situations and there are no “must have or you cant compete”. Can be casual or intense just depends on how much you want to put it. Ps found best way to make in game currency is to sell runes and run the dungeon. Gems early complete the paths (also helps with scrolls and upgrades) My only complaint is endgame gets brutal when you start to run out of acomplishments. Its basically impossible to get 5 star units without paying real cash. For example I was underwhelmed when I beat every story mode level and difficulty and got a crappy scroll and a few gems. Or finishing the 100th floor of normal tower and not getting a guaranteed 5 star... I mean common. But enough complaining, I do enjoy this one and you will to!!! ### 4/5 — Great game, new bug(?) *2020-09-18, version 1.14.0* Is a very great game been playing for only three days and I’ve feel like I’ve gotten so far lol, but it’s telling me to download the new version but I already have downloaded the new version ### 5/5 — Love this game *2020-09-16, version 1.14.0* So many great characters in this game. Lots of things to do and they just added the elemental towers. Don’t get hung up on supposed bad drop rates for 5 star naturals, they aren’t that bad and there are a ton of 4 star naturals that are amazing. My new favorite game. ### 4/5 — Not for everyone *2020-09-16, version 1.14.0* Fun but harsh/complicated f2p grind. If you enjoy grinding, worth it. If you like buying stuff to max, worth it. Otherwise you’ll probably get frustrated and move in to something else 😅 ### 5/5 — New to the Game *2020-09-13, version 1.13.1* I got into this game from a group of online friends, and I have to say, it's very nice. It reminds me of Monster Super League (Summoners War and Pokémon mixed together) and Fire Emblem like movements. Balanced so far, fun and never really runs out of things you could potentially do. Then again, I'm only like lvl 15, but it's pretty fun. Give it a try. No hurt in trying something new for a couple days/ a week since quarantine is a thing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun Game, But Rates Are BS *2020-09-15, version 1.13.1* This game is actually enjoyable, and there are some free 5* characters that you can grind for (and I have). HOWEVER, the 1.5% 5* draw rate is absolute nonsense. Whether the RNG is wonky, or they are flat out lying, I have done enough draws from gems and scrolls to see that it doesn’t add up. I don’t mind low rates, as long as the game clearly states it’s rates. There is no useful mileage in game either. If there is clarity on the actual server draw rates or they adjust the game and increase the rates, I’ll come back and give it a try. Until then, this review stands, as I want people to understand what they are getting into. Farewell KoH. ### 1/5 — Decent but could’ve been great *2020-08-26, version 1.13.1* Artwork and gameplay doesn’t match. If that was even a bit closer I’d have to say this game would be a keeper. Another thing is segregating dark/light units from the rest of the gacha was a stupid move imo. It’s forcing your small player base into getting fire/water/wood units. Shouldn’t be that way. Rewards make you feel like you’re getting somewhere but you’re not. 1-3 gems a reward and it’s 300 to do a full 10x summon. I’ve done about 4 summons and not a single 5* from that. Should tell you something and my only 5* was a free ticket they give you but the tickets only allow fire/water/wood units. It’s a really easy game to learn, interface is nice and simple, tactics level is amateur/intermediate. All I can see is this being a cash grab game and quickly off the market for a remake. They’ll switch things up and release it under another title. Also after I did my first initial review which disappeared my game also stopped working and my account doesn’t exist (linked both to my Apple acc and my FB acc)... lol. Cool. So from a 2* I’m dropping a 1*. I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Should be zero issues. ### 2/5 — Gave up on support *2020-09-20, version 1.14.2* Have been trying to contact support for multiple weeks, I'm one of those idiots that bought microtransactions, and when the game logged me out and I was unable to log back in, I went through every method I could to get into contact with their support. Never got a response. It's been weeks since the initial attempt and I have verified multiple times that my methods were correct. Very frustrating. But probably saving me money in the long run lol 🙄 ### 2/5 — Current Event Unrewarding *2020-09-17, version 1.14.0* The current event that just dropped is really unrewarding. If you’re planning to get into this game, I strongly suggest waiting until another event update comes along :/ the grind just got 100% harder thanks to the loss of the hero chest event. Good luck, everyone. a/n: Rating subject to change with future updates. ### 3/5 — Fun game - terribly sexist *2020-11-19, version 2.00.0* Game’s fun, keeps me entertained during work down time. There is always something you can be doing which is awesome. I never feel the need to spend money and I feel well powered. Only downside is the depiction of women in this game are sooo bad. All the female characters are made to be eye candy which is sad to see and is a harmful blemish/distraction on what is a fundamentally fun game. ### 3/5 — Pretty fun and great drop rates *2020-09-16, version 1.14.0* I am really enjoying this game. I love tactical type games and this one fits the bill perfectly. I already got two 5star drops from the normal gem currency you can accumulate thru gameplay. I haven’t spent a dime yet, but I’m going to throw some loot their way, great game so far... loving it. Edit: After playing for awhile the drop rates are hideous, I think I was extremely lucky in the beginning. After my last multiple pulls on gems you only get the one 4star hero, but you are guaranteed that one anyway. I have yet to see a 4 or 5 star pull on the red crystals. Always 3star. The amount of pulls you would need to power up a hero to full and get them to 6 star are crazy. But there are multiple people in the arena with three or four fully powered hero’s, needless to say you can’t win against them at all. I still think the game is fun, but if you want to be able to go toe to toe with higher ups in arena, be prepared to fork over hundreds of dollars to maybe get close to where they are at. Maybe a thousand or two. It’s crazy. ### 3/5 — Fix the auto attacking bug *2020-09-07, version 1.13.1* It’s a great game just have to fix the A.i stop making them auto attack when you don’t have on the auto attack option on!! It’s extremely annoying as if you guys set it that way just to annoy people... Fix it !! ### 3/5 — Meh *2020-09-04, version 1.13.1* The game is alright. The rates are awful and there is no pity (it’s 2020 get with the times people) gameplay is good but the art is a bit weird looking. For a summoners war mimick Id say it doesn’t really do anything better. Overall meh. ### 3/5 — Literally Summoners War but as a SRPG *2020-09-02, version 1.13.1* As far as taking the Summoners War format and improving upon it, Epic Seven does it far better and with far better production value and a story that’s actually worth following. Kingdom of Heroes doesn’t really do much to the formula besides slapping it onto a Tactics grid, even the debuffs and statuses are named the same as in SW. The #1 draw to this game is being able to choose a free 5-star and a free 4-star unit of your choice, either picking someone to carry you to the lategame smoothly (Ingway) or to guarantee you’ll have someone worth building your squads around lategame (Claudia, Esperanza, Ifrit, Morgana, Bartholomew). I’d hesitate to call the game another generic SW clone, because the art direction is actually pretty strong. But it is what it is, and as such there’s not much of a community and thus no resources like tier lists, guides, datamined damage multiplier values, etc. If you pick this game up, enjoy it casually with the generous freebies but it’s not worth being your primary mobile game, especially for the amount of time it demands you put in daily. ### 4/5 — Fun so far *2022-10-17, version 3.05.0* Great game so far! Maybe make a way to get silver a little easier since everything is so expensive ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!! *2023-02-19, version 3.05.0* Just found out this game is ending and it saddens me truly. I’ve been playing this game off and on for 4-5 years. You will never find a game that makes it even for f2p players and p2w players. Obviously you won’t compete with p2w players, but I never spent a dime on this game and was ranked 29th in arena. This was my favorite game ever and I’m very sad to see it go. As I said I’ve played for years and never got bored with it. This was one of the greatest games made. ### 5/5 — WOW! *2022-10-18, version 3.05.0* I started playing this game not too long ago! Let me tell you a little bit of what I experienced. Starting out things aren’t amazing obviously as any other game. What intrigues me is how this game rewards you for playing!!! You seriously won’t find this in any games even the most popular ones. The events this game has are rewarding. You get a lot of goodies to help you improve and increase your heroes levels and strengths! This is coming from a F2P perspective! From Guild Raids, Dungeons, TOA. I feel I’m being rewarded for every action I take. Give it a try! Enjoy your gacha addiction hehe ### 5/5 — Amazing Gacha *2022-08-17, version 3.05.0* Hands down top 5 best Gacha games I have ever played! Free to play friendly is off the charts and the content is fun for anyone that loves a challenge. Please keep this game going forever and keep the updates coming!!! ### 5/5 — Really good game just 1 tiny problem RUNES *2021-12-31, version 3.02.0* Awesome game trying to get a character can be like playing Russian roulette but with characters. The thing I fine confusing is the runes now I’m not saying I hate the runes I wish there was a better way to explain them to new people joining the game or something close to that…. Really really love your game reminds me of EXO something not sure what or how to spell the rest of the name.. will definitely recommend to new players…. ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-12-07, version 3.01.1* I’ve only played it for two days, but like it a lot so far. ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-09-26, version 2.11.0* For those who got tired of summoners war, I have enjoyed re discovering a similar style without all the hype. Good story and I have actually got 5 stars characters which took forever with the other game. It’s worth a try. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2021-07-28, version 2.09.0* Played a lot of gacha games so far and this one is pretty fair in pull rates. Since you can pick a free 5 star and get 100 summons you’re likely to be able to skip rerolling which is nice. The game isn’t really easy to learn what to do, but it’s been fun to learn! Overall, I’m enjoying the game so far. ### 5/5 — Never been a more friendly gacha for F2P *2021-02-22, version 2.02.1* I have played since the very beginning and have spent money on the game but ONLY in an effort to support the dev. There is nothing in this game you can not get from daily activities and working on your team. There is even completely free and substantial currency given out for costumes which i have never heard of before. You can unlock and max out pretty much any character you want if you focus your efforts even as F2P. TBH , i can not believe i am saying this but the devs may be too generous... ### 5/5 — Great game, and very addicting *2020-12-16, version 2.01.0* Large selection of heroes and choices. Many ways to form your teams and go up against the AI and other players. ### 5/5 — Legit best gacha. *2020-10-21, version 1.15.0* The intro, gameplay, system, all of it almost identical to Summoners War. Great make of the game and battles are different but other than that, best new game similar to sw. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
