The game isn’t balanced properly. You constantly get to places where you can’t get past because the opponents are too powerful. ### 2/5 — Online competition mode full of cheaters *2026-08-03, version 4.2.6* I report them with no actions taken! they satay low level arena and completing outstanding numbers in compeition which makes no sense and is not feasible in that amount of time! i honestly think the admin or creatirs are involved in this cheating ### 3/5 — Used to be a great game. *2026-07-28, version 4.2.6* The game started fantastic but over time has gotten very money and ad centric. The rewards have gotten smaller and smaller as I have advanced through the game making it impossible to pass certain stages without spending money on the game. ### 4/5 — Question *2026-07-25, version 4.2.6* How do I change who I am like to a warlock or a orc?can I even do it? ### 3/5 — Обращение к разработчикам *2026-07-22* Игра топчик! Но не выходит прокачать морозного мага, не заходит в соответствующее подземелье - выкидывает из игры ((((( ### 3/5 — Buggy, especially with competition *2026-07-03, version 4.2.6* Made lots of effort for the 1st place, checked that had huge gap between next person. The app showed that calculated results. And then just next competition started. Nothing! ### 1/5 — Tons of bugs *2026-06-22, version 4.2.5* I played 4 years ago and came back recently. What can I say, the game is pay to win, there are tons of bugs in it. Like, I stopped getting score in Arena in my second week. I just have 0. And other player all have 2 digit numbers where hero star level is. Areas on the map where you need to pay to get you. It is terrible and it is disappointment, because I loved this game and supported it financially, but now it just doesn’t look like it anymore ### 4/5 — Brings back good memories *2026-06-14, version 4.2.5* The choices and the make music make the game enjoyable to play ### 2/5 — Fun for a bit *2026-06-06, version 4.2.5* Started off great you eventually hit a pay wall, also have to click out of 20 store pop ups everytime you open the game. Killed it for me ### 1/5 — Gone south *2026-06-04, version 4.2.5* Latest update is a pure cash grab and the game is borderline unplayable now. Really disappointing to see the direction. Strongly advise against unless something changes. ### 1/5 — New Update Issue *2026-06-03, version 4.2.5* Devs just added competition changes and somehow I am competing with people that have already won 12 total challenges. I have competed in 1 and won 1 so far but now in the 2nd competition I’m facing someone who has somehow completed 420 arenas with 12 total placements? How is this possible unless something is quite wrong. Please fix and I will fix my rating thank you. —- Long time player here for well over a year —- also daily rewards are no longer working. I have a bubble for 89 but when trying to claim anything everything is claimed for a full year. Tomorrow the bubble with show 90 but I will not be able to claim anything. EDIT 6/3/26 - I’m now competing in current challenge where you have to open arena chests and the 2nd position player is still arena 1 but catches up to me and stays in Arena 1 - this isn’t possible. Even if you flag for cheating nothing happens. ### 1/5 — MONEYGRAB *2026-06-03, version 4.2.5* Absolute MONEYGRAB. To progress within the game alongside millions of ads you need to watch you have to also spend some money on it. With the latest update you completely ruined the game as all your progress on maps is lost and you are no longer to get anything for winning weekly challenges and 2 new currencies on top of lots of existing ones were introduced. It’s absolute garbage now. The fact that someone left a comment saying they spent £800 and are still unhappy doesn’t surprise me ### 1/5 — Magic War Legends *2026-05-30, version 4.2.5* Wow, the new update has made this game horrible. Greedy greedy greedy ### 1/5 — 100% Pay to win *2026-05-26, version 4.2.5* Game is free to play for the first 5 minutes everything out paces you after that and you need to pay to win. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Still has issues *2026-08-23, version 4.2.7* As of today (8/22/26) the game still has a specific bug that is causing me to want to delete the game and never return … the free gold and free hero (watch a video) chest .. I’ve tried to get it 3 times at different times and after watching the full video, it locks the game for about 20 secs then logs you out the game. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Boring and buggy *2026-08-03, version 4.2.6* There is nothing to do but battles. No castles to build up. No mines . Nothing. You have to spend real $$ to get anywhere. Reinstalled a few years later now. Still super buggy. Game glitches a lot. When it does it cost you important in game tokens ### 1/5 — Ai slop *2026-07-27, version 4.2.6* The moment I opened the game there was an ai slop ‘cinematic’. I will never support such a game. It disgusts me. ### 1/5 — Awesome game but screw up comps *2026-07-23, version 4.2.6* Love the game, since the new comp, players are cheating now, they didn’t cheat before!! ### 1/5 — The game is fun but I was charged $17.40 for nothing *2026-07-23, version 4.2.6* I wasn’t playing, wasn’t even opening the app and suddenly was charged $17.40. Before that I enjoyed the game and was even buying some bonuses but after this scam I’m not planning to anymore. Horrible experience. ### 1/5 — Pay to play :( *2026-07-18, version 4.2.6* This reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic but that game only cost $19.95, once… This game becomes unplayable if you don’t keep spending that much every week. Steal somebody else’s game and then rape your customers. Greedy phuques! Get a life! ### 1/5 — Печальное творение *2026-07-13* Поначалу кажется интересной Но в дальнейшей продвижении чувствуешь как давят рамки игры без доната Денег крайне мало так же и алмазов Прокачка стоит бешеных денег Которых негде взять Пример 3 карта тебе не будет хватать мобов и их уровня Ты будешь полисосить карту и все равно не хватит Ты будешь траить арену До момента пока твой ии враг не начнет тебя выносить И все равно ты в пролете по экономике Печально ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-26, version 4.2.5* Fun at first. Once you start accumulating decent teams and you rise up in the ranks in the arena, the game will start scaling and it will soon become impossible to go any further. You’ll have to defeat teams comprised of “godlike” foes that you can’t possibly win against. Don’t download it. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-06-23, version 4.2.5* This game is complete garbage!!! ### 1/5 — Ошибка в результате обновления *2026-06-23, version 4.2.5* Из-за обновы слетели награды за 8-часовой сундук арены и, что главное, за 1е место арены в рейтинге. Награда в 800изумрудов и десяток тыс монет, который ждал неделю просто исчезли. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-18, version 4.2.6* Fun game. Giving the ability to redistribute stats would be great. ### 5/5 — Missing armies *2026-07-05, version 4.2.6* I keep receiving Thrall from chest and from joining me on the battlefield but they never show up in my total army count. I love this game. I play it every day. I don’t even mind spending the money. but it’s frustrating now receiving what you think you’ve earned. ### 5/5 — This game *2026-06-01, version 4.2.5* Good game ### 5/5 — Like *2026-05-11, version 4.2.5* Super fun ### 5/5 — 아레나 보상 오류 *2026-05-11* 아레나10에서 1위를 하고있었는데 꼴등보상이 들어옴 확인해주세요 ### 5/5 — I need Chinese. *2026-04-06, version 4.0.2* I need Chinese. ### 5/5 — Мне нравится ! *2026-04-04, version 4.0.2* Очень похожа на героев меча и магии ### 5/5 — Heroes III *2026-03-29* Top demais. ### 5/5 — So far looks good *2026-03-22, version 4.0.2* Look back to 90’s ### 5/5 — Errors in game *2026-03-21, version 4.0.2* hello, I found some errors in the game, after 1 year you no longer give daily rewards, in Pantheon in the game 4 Lesbos you can pass to a certain area over the labyrinth and reach the gate to the next level without opening the fortress gate --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
