Hero Wars - Reviews and experiences

I noticed my emerald balance was lower right after the server merge, which honestly took the fun out of it. I contacted support thinking it would be a straightforward fix, but I mostly got vague replies and no real solution. If you’re considering spending money, maybe wait and see how they handle issues first.

After four years on three servers, I’m still confused by how battles are decided. I play to unwind after work, but a team with almost double the power can still lose. The surprising part is that support hasn’t really explained the rules. Updates arrive regularly, at least.

A coworker mentioned this one, and I gave it a shot despite being wary of the in-app purchases. At first it seemed decent, but the “free” rewards through ads basically never showed up for me. That was the annoying part. Progress slows right down unless you pay, and some bundles cost way more than I expected, even in Canadian dollars. The gameplay itself isn’t awful, honestly, but the pricing completely soured it.

I wanted the game to unwind after long shifts, but my account's been frozen for over two months over a purchase hold. I sent support every screenshot and ID they asked for (sent and resent), and it's basically crickets — automated replies, no real fix. The app is billed as 'free' yet you can't progress without paying; combined with zero follow-through from support, it's pretty frustrating and disappointing.

That first night I found myself refreshing the game's page like it was a concert ticket drop — thanks to a streamer who mentioned it, actually. I hesitated for weeks, worried the ads might be overstating things and that I'd be paying for fluff. I caved and bought in, and honestly most of those worries melted away after a few hours of playing; it's fun and runs well. Not perfect though — you can tell some accounts are clones and evenings can be quiet, and support can be slow. Still, if you go in knowing it's imperfect, it really is worth a try.

wait for deals, don't go crazy.

imperfect, sometimes frustrating, but not entirely broken — gave it another few weeks and had fun despite the cracks.

it freed up time and I still enjoy short sessions. So mixed feelings — the core gameplay is decent and pleasant, but the monetization is annoying and makes full progression costly. Worth a try, just don't expect to finish everything without spending.
