AFK Arena 9+

Easily one of the best mobile games

I don’t normally write reviews but I feel the need to as the game is great and take this as an opportunity to thank the developers.
Today is my 300th day of logging in and I have to say my interest is about the same as 300 days ago. There’s so much things you can progress in, the campaign, the kings tower, the event that’s open at the time or even vs other players in the arena ( although not my personal choice it’s still a fun thing to do on the occasion I grind the arena out).
Due to the amount of things to do it means even if you hit a dry spot in the campaign where you can’t get past a level you can do the kings tower for a bit until you earn enough afk rewards to become strong enough to take on the level

I love this game. There’s no in your face pop ups saying buy this item that you will use a bit then our level in a week which i see in soooo many other games with similar style. More importantly there’s no ads
I remember looking at people higher level then me and seeing there level as a long way off but with the amount to do and different stages to the game levelling up seems to happen in stages so you get 1 ledgendary then a few more then 1 ledgendary plus and then a few more so it never seems like a big leap and before you know it your where you never thought you would be

Very well made app I’ve fully enjoyed my experience so far and look forward to the future of the game
Thank you

Actually pretty great

These sorts of games usually hold my interest for a few days at best. I’ve been playing this for 6 months straight now, every single day. One thing that makes me laugh is how disgustingly overpriced everything is and how low the odds are of summoning decent heroes. It’s almost like they don’t actually want you to spend your money, it’s really that bad. Having said that, I actually think that’s the reason I’m still playing it. I can do all my dailies in 10 minutes with my morning coffee! I wouldn’t recommend playing this game seriously because the summoning odds are so terrible, but it’s a great game to play for 10-15 minutes a day as a F2P player, watching your team grow over time is pretty fun. The design is also really nice, I love the cartoony style.

Would give 5 stars but the offensively priced micro-transactions and awful summoning odds let it down a bit. If the prices were more reasonable and the odds were a tiny bit better I can tell you I probably would have sunk hundreds of £’s into this game but I very quickly found out that spending a lot of money is just going to lead to a LOT of disappointment! So I’ll stay as a F2P player as that in itself is a 4 star experience :)

Started off good however gone down hill

I’m level 70 so put a few hours into this game however it’s not till you later progress it becomes a waste of time. Unless your prepared to spend a lot of money, character progression will slow down dramatically and then it becomes basically impossible to beat the higher tiers in the campaign or kings tower. Summoning hero’s has a 4.61% chance to get an elite tier hero and it will take roughly 3 days of active playing to accumulate enough gems to summon 10 hero’s, most of which are common and useless. This will cost you 2700 gems to do this. Daily signing rewards has stopped and you now get a measly 20 gems and 2 elite soul stones (60 soul stones required to summon an elite hero) so 30 days of signing in before you get a guaranteed elite hero!). I’m at the point where signing in now gets enough energy to progress a hero 2 levels each time after 12 hours AFK, all of which make no difference in the campaign and I’ve been stuck on the same boss level for a week now. Basically it becomes very slow and boring after a few weeks of solid game play. Save your time and money and play Idle Heroes which is basically exactly the same game however far more rewarding, easier to progress without spending a penny and you actually get decent daily and hourly rewards.
