Gacha don’t download

Waste of time. The only thing it does is make you fall asleep at night. Unrealistic wait times with obvious cash grab mechanics built right into it. Prepared to be unsatisfied with upgrade costs, too much and too long of waits to play the game, stupid simple combat, bugs, spending premium currency without consent especially due to misclicks, bad support team, no ability to level outside of daily quests half of which you can’t do yet but can pay money to get, popups as you scroll trying to get you to buy stuff if you even touch well placed icons, bad ui, unrealistic difficulty in bosses only barred by the tier of items which will take you 2 or 3 hours to grind one for like 8 characters you have no attachment to (mihn is pretty dope though.) Devs should feel ashamed of this game.

At first it was good, now, ehhhh

I've probably spent over $400 on this game, which I regret because as fun as it was in the beginning, they proceeded to need everything down to make it close to unplayable. True shame and a bit scammish if you ask me. They had over a year in beta to make adjustments. I don't like that they got players to pay a lot in the beginning and began to nerf everything in the game 2 months down the line after release making it feel like my money was wasted. Oh well. I'll change this review back to 5 stars if I feel they actually fix something for the better instead of for the worse.

Devs on vacation

- Numerous bugs

- Late updates

- Late rewards

- always “optimizing” to slow down players ability to play such as increasing energy, customer visit frequency etc…

- lvl 60+ player who has spent over 200$ and feels like I am fighting a losing game.

- No communication

- Poor rewards for their mistakes (A one cent potion and 10k gold)

- Expectations overall low for everyone in the game (top guilds down)

Response: Games just an empty ship waiting to crash and burn. Don’t let the nostalgia fool you, they are running it into the ground.

Doesn’t take much to make people happy, and y’all sure avoid it at all costs. Thanks for nothing :,)

Login issues but great game

Great game. Having login issues since last couple of updates, usually get an error message then it logs in after a minute or two.

Too soon…

Good foundation but feels like an early access port from the first game(s). It’s still fun to play on some free time, but needs some finishing badly. Non existent marketplace. The ease of accessing crafters (crafting anything whenever as long as the crafter is unlocked)is a step up but constantly funneling gold into them to make them not be garbo is annoying (scaling costs understandable but needs tweaking). Gem sink if you actually want them to reach their most useful… Tutorial needs work, shadow nerfs on boss box/key drops and contents/bps needs balancing. Staff mastery is spears… Fusion is available in workshop but not mentioned. Hero’s available equipment not visible unless you make one of everything and see what can be slotted. Gacha only available to whales, you don’t make enough gems otherwise to waste on it. Missing the mastery of making weapons and armor at least higher quality when completed, baseline. Inability to make true autocraft slots as the previous game. Energy cost for speed ups needs to be adjusted in higher level items. Shameful character customization options. Hopefully there will be other guild activities or goals in the future. Helping each other with donations is the extent of it for now. I would have thought they were building on and expanding from the first game but this, that is not. Not yet anyway.

Add this plz

I love this game and think it’s amazing but I think it would be even more amazing if there was a way to close your shop so you could get to refresh your store and stuff

You’re going to lose ALOT of players and money

The increase of energy costs to speed up crafting is going to kill your game. The entire world chat is in an uproar because of it and I’ve already seen several players quit HOURS after the update came out. I was ready to drop a good amount of money into this game because it (was) really good up until this fiasco. Expect many many more reviews like this. 5 stars if you fix it.

Ridiculous pricing

The cost to upgrade or buy items is ridiculous. 500,000 to get a 4th crafting slot. 60,000 to get a second storage chest or upgrade the current one. Most items that don’t take over 5 minutes to craft (unless you want to spend hundreds of thousands keeping your workers happy every day) will sell for maybe 200 gold if you’re lucky. You can play until your device goes dead and needs recharged and you MIGHT have 40,000 gold.

Feels like a chore ...

I played Shop Heroes for over three years before getting bored. Shop Heroes Legend feels like a chore after less that three weeks. It started off a bit too frenetically, then settled into a nice pace for several days before sliding into boredom. I lost interest in Shop Heroes, too, which makes me a little sad, but I just don't enjoy either of them now.

Great template but needs work.

The game itself is fun but you will find yourself bored within a week. There isn’t any means of communication with how they plan on progressing the game or their plans to even finish polishing what they’ve already released. The game has potential, but with no communication or updates this game will not survive long. Be warned, before you waste a dime on this game give it a month. It seems like the development team gave up already. Even if you (developer) don’t update the game much over the next year, just give your players a road map, they will at least know what to look forward to.

DEVELOPERS NEED TO READ

• The game is fun and really well done, cool items, adventures and guilds.
• I had so much fun playing but the game comes to a standstill, progression becomes too slow. There need to be constant events going, more mini games, ways to progress, and content in general.
• I talked with a few top players in the world and they said the only way to do rlly good is in game purchases. Which wouldn’t be the worst if there wasn’t such a massive gap, there need to be more ways for free to play players to progress.
• ALL IN ALL good game but needs much more content to keep casuals and even the more invested players playing and entertained.
-IMPORTANT- There should be more buildings, other than just the tavern. Possibly through a more fleshed out story and introduction of characters. It would be SO COOL to see the game progress into a city type environment with multiple shops. Like if you join a guild, your shop appears in a city with the other players’ shops, with the guild hall and other buildings rather than just a page for them. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!

Don’t waste time here

It’s a fun game but incredibly underdeveloped. There are hundreds of bugs, a huge lack of communication with players, and a very quickly diminishing player base.

It was fun for a time since you could compete for the leaderboard being f2p accessible, but I’m personally not interested in playing a game with only 100 other people which is the rate they’re heading towards.

Not that the devs care but constructively if they want to succeed the need to:
-Hire a PR and post regular planned patches
-Completely restructure their discord. Pins people (it feels like a kid never using discord before made it)
-improve QoL bugs like when you switch apps and switch back the shop will be empty
-chat mods, overhaul chat and private messages

Lots of other things need to be done as well, but considering my current experience with the devs I personally don’t feel passionate enough about this game to bother waiting for “future updates” with no delivery estimate.

Could be a lot better.

Can be a very fun game except for the little adventures you do. You can level all the heroes you collect and outfit them but it doesn’t matter when I’m getting killed by enemies 20-30 levels lower. That whole part of the game needs a rework because it’s not fun at all. Also all the enemies can heal but we can’t. Either remove that part of the game or rework it.

Fun game to get lost in!

Been playing this game for a couple days and been absolutely enjoying it. Resources come quick. Plenty of ways to make money so you aren’t struggling the whole time. Been able to progress quickly with all the skills and I enjoy the many different characters and equipment. Since it’s a new release I understand there’s alot more they will add. So I’m understanding of the current state of the game.

Few things I personally would want to see.
•A way to change between hero’s in the hero menu. Without having to leave the current hero and then clicking on the next.
•To be able to click on the hero & see what weapons I can craft to go for the specific hero.
•To be able to see what customers visiting the shop would like.
•Something more from the guild, and to have the ability to open the guild and not have to accept people in. But people can just join.
•Also.. something more from the tavern. Can’t really do anything there. I suspect in future updates that will change.. but it seems almost useless to have a whole tavern just to go on adventures. But not be able to do anything in the tavern itself besides the fortune teller and shop keep.
•Furniture seems very over priced. Even looking at top accounts, no one has their shop decorated. Would be awesome to get more customization and less expensive furniture

There’s more little things.
But overall great game.

Love this game

I have always liked this kind of game, the creation and adventure theme is very rare, the art style is very beautiful, very lovely. The pace is not fast, you can take your time

A fun game in a genre sorely lacking.

(T.L.D.R. Potential Players: It’s a fun game.
Devs: One small thought.)

I have been enjoying the game, but there is a suggestion I would put forward as an improvement. Currently the chat system has 3 channels: World (server), Trade, and City (guild). I have seen it in many games, but the world chat is always being spammed by players seeking guilds, or guilds seeking players. Currently, several players are trying to migrate those posts to Trade. That’s not really a solution as that only means that when trading is up and running, we’ll have spam there too.
So, my thought.
Add another chat channel labeled Recruitment. This clears the other chats from spam, and give guilds and guild seekers a sure place to go for their needs.
I know the developing team has a few things on their plate, but I think that this quality of play addition would be a boon for the game.(really, all games that have guild features)

And to those who read through this, this game is definitely worth the download. It really is a limited genre, but this may become a title that grows that genre.

Needs more work

The game is pretty fun but repetitive, full of bugs, and littered with poor grammar. It has either been poorly translated or written by someone who doesn’t speak English as a first language. I appreciate the effort, but it’s noticeable. Considering the games issues I would say this is a pass. I’m pretty close to uninstalling as it is.

Was having a blast until I hit T4 items

Having a super fun time with managing my shop until I just hit T4 items that require 30 minutes + to craft. I don’t have enough energy to instant craft one (requires 90 energy)

Feels like this is where the pay to have fun comes on :(

Delightfully Buggy, Clunky, and Uninspired

If there’s a game that could be considered a pale imitation of its prequel, then pale is Shop Heroes Legends. Without adding much in terms of mechanics, player assistance, or quality of life updates, the characters feel lifeless and dull. The one thing that is available in spades, however, are in-app purchases. There are better games with the exact same playstyle and model with much better handling and interface design, and far less bugs. With technology and design that is fifteen years in the past, being just as greedy as any other modern game, this game is a hard PASS. Play the original Shop Heroes, or Shop Titans: they are more fleshed out and aesthetically pleasing.

Clunky

I have played other shop games but the delay when you sell and when you collect from crafting queue is irritating.

Updated: Game is now playable. Unfortunately it was brought to my attention all the data they are grabbing from my device. I have since deleted the game as no game needs access to that much on your phone unless they are data mining.
