No support from anyone, the game has had no improvements in at least two years and appears to have been abandoned. Too bad, it was fun. ### 5/5 — Love!!! *2020-07-30, version 2.2.7* Love this game!! Please add more levels!!! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2019-10-20, version 2.2.7* Fun for a couple hours....then the game won’t load the next level despite multiple taps and restarts so I can’t advance.... ### 1/5 — Review *2019-10-14, version 2.2.7* Awesome game, for three months play all the time.. I am done with it keeps crashing half of the game you can see other half you can’t. Real shame tried to contact support put tickets in no response. All I can say hope someone else creates something like this that actually works. And yes I deleted 3times and started new same problem.. ### 1/5 — Here we go again... *2019-07-22, version 2.2.7* This game has a long history. One that involves the game mysteriously going down for months/years at a time. After the previous owners and the 3 after that, this game has been renamed 3 times. But last week, the game stopped producing events and everything that made it fun and competitive. So, the 1 star review. I don’t recommend playing this game if you want to put months of hard work into it only to be completely shut out of the game and losing your work. ### 2/5 — Inconsistent *2019-07-14, version 2.2.7* Before the last update, things were ok. Since the update however, the squad wars have changed, now it literally is the same challenges every single day. Before the update, at least it was variety. The daily login rewards is a good idea, however you can’t get to the end reward because it resets every 27-28 days. HELLO.....this makes no sense and very frustrating. Also the build times, research times, as well as upgrade times are a joke. Their is no way possible to complete those challenges without spending money for the gems or speed ups. These times NEED to be revamped. The gameplay is decent, but the time limit on the above stated is making this game EXTREMELY frustrating. Also on a side note, a list of the characters that you could get would be a welcomed addition..... ### 3/5 — Good game but imbalance with bugs *2019-07-13, version 2.2.7* This is a good game and has potential. It is a matching tile game with some twists to the simple matching mechanism. The board can be in any shape with obstacles. The hero rarities are common, rare, super, ultra, and epic. Common rarity always drop its hero card except in the evolve lab hunt for doctor. Rare and higher have a chance to drop a card piece (the rarer the hero, the lower the drop rate is). Rare needs 2 pieces, super needs 6 pieces, epic needs 12 pieces. Now there are some critical issues with the game. The major issue I have is imbalance. Hero strength purely relies on the hero rarity. A common hero can’t match with rare hero, and so on. Also you need only 1 strong hero in a team in PvP to wipe out an opponent team. PvP event during a Guild event will decide the outcome of the event. The guild which is the most active with high level players will always win. There are only 2 guilds that dominate the whole game. As a result, the game is dominated by only these people who will get the best heroes because they will get to evolve their hero faster. There are hundreds if not thousand guilds in the game, but only at most 50 people dominate the game. The draw rate to get an epic hero is slim to none. I did 15 ultimate draws in a row and I got 1 ultra (last draw), 3 super (useless ones), and the rest are rare. So go figure. There is a bug for daily reward. Even though it said you have 29 days total to collect 28-day reward with an epic hero as the last reward, the game will RESET the daily reward cycle once it hits the 28th day. As a result, you WILL NOT get the last reward regardless. It happened already once which is the first time the calendar reset after the daily reward was introduced. I will rate only 3* until the game devs have proved to me that they have fixed the issue plus to compensate the bug they introduced. Period. ### 5/5 — Fun AND amazing customer service *2019-06-19, version 2.2.6* The only other place I’ve received this level of customer service is from Apple themselves, and that’s really saying something. One of the biggest reasons I choose to play a game is based on customer service and Hothead Games is on point! I am so impressed! ### 1/5 — Broke *2019-06-19, version 2.2.6* Can’t even load into the game ### 1/5 — Smh *2019-05-26, version 2.2.4* Spent 30 bucks fir the ultimate grabs... got rare every time .
