more Thank you for making this game and continually improving it.It has WoW / LoL vibes with the artwork and design.Runs smooth on old iPhone 7.I’m not a gamer any more but I wanted a not so stressful but mathematical and strategic action game to pass the time. Found this and my word…I’ve been hooked for almost 3 months now, playing about an hour daily. I enjoy playing it for its own sake but where it really shines is how balanced everything is. The artwork, effects, difficulty, rewards, quests, guilds, crafting, items, events. Nothing is overwhelming or underwhelming, just enough and everything compliments each other well. Nice range of heroes, nice range of mobs, cool items, easy to learn.I paid £10 for the premium xp after playing for a month on free and the developers deserve it. All of the issues I had to do with the game before were to do with buggy ads, if you buy premium and remove ads this game becomes an absolute joy. I hope they keep making this game better, real-time co-op mode with guild members would be so fun! Please consider it ✍️ 😍

Heroes and Hordes is an enjoyable game, but it’s weighed down by issues that make it hard to recommend.1. Ads Everywhere: The constant ads make the game nearly unplayable unless you pay to remove them, which feels unfair for free players.2. Slow Hero Progression: Once you hit 2 stars, leveling up heroes is a grind. You only get 2 stars every 7 days from faction wars, and other methods are a gamble. Pay to speed it up, or prepare for a slow crawl.3. Events Are a Scam: No matter how much effort you put into events, the currency earned isn’t enough to win decent heroes. You’ll need to spend money to get anything worthwhile.4. Wheel Events Don’t Reward: The wheel events have terrible odds, and I haven’t seen anyone win anything meaningful.5. Resource Costs Are High: £4.99 for 500 gems is ridiculous. You can earn only 50 gems a day by completing events, which makes progress painfully slow unless you pay.6. Glitches in Events: In the Christmas event, an invincible Krampus ruined the experience due to glitches, adding more frustration.7. New Heroes Are Locked Behind Paywalls: You can’t earn new heroes without spending money, making it feel like a pay-to-win game.In short, while Heroes and Hordes has potential, its greedy monetization system makes it frustrating.In game support is 0 devs have ignored two of messages and the one they replied they solved nothing

I absolutely love this game. As I write this I’ve just reached level (area) 9 and I’ve become slightly obsessed with it. The graphics (the different beasts) and music are great but it’s the gameplay that is exquisite. It’s really challenging but you always seem to get a little better and progress unlike some games which are just very hit and miss. Congratulations to the team who created it, thank you very much!

Loved it at first, it is pay to win but I’m pretty sure it glitches on purpose in the harder levels, orc land 5 for instance isn’t passable, every combination doesn’t work, spending hundreds of pounds doesn’t work, first “glitch” occurs 37 seconds in where you can’t move at all, 37 seconds every single attempt, second “glitch” when you smash a crystal thingy on the third one every time hordes literally appear from no wheee and kill you, I spent thousands of gems and through many other “glitches” that happen to occur at the exact same time every time, I finally managed to get to wave 5 and died within 3 seconds and here comes the major “glitch” since then I can’t pass any level AT ALL, my level 100 barbarian can’t even pass the very first level, it’s completely in playable, total waste of money and time.
