Ive been playing for around 2 months now and have recently hit 17mil power. doesn’t seem like a lot compared to the others on the leaderboards, but it’s felt like a fairly smooth progression thus far. Most games i feel like i have to spend at least some money pretty early on, but this game feels like i don’t have to :) Not sure how the end game grind is, so people might be more inclined to spend later on, but still. Not to mention, the community / chat are helpful and usually answer any questions. There isn’t a lot of information online about this game so the chat comes in handy.

The game used to be great. It was engaging and rewarded you for the time you put into it. I have played since 2 months after launch and will tell you the game as it is now is nothing like the game it was. They have overloaded the power progression onto heroes that are impossibly difficult to achieve high levels with, in hopes to have players buy hero keys. It wasn’t bad at first as heroes were capped to 5 star upgrades. Then they changed it so they would have no cap and this was the beginning of the slope we are sliding down now. In the last year since I started we have gotten 3 new player sets of gear to obtain, and now we are at 5 cosmetic skins you can get through events. The events were fine until the last they added that is a direct p2w model of an event and if it is how future events are going to be made will only increase the desire I have to uninstall the game. They have abandoned their discord server and only post updates and then promptly log out. They never respond to any suggestions that are posted and certainly do not act upon them. TL;DR Stay away from the game, it’s only becoming more and more pay to win.

So I’ve been playing this game for a solid month now and it is definitely a fun little game to play. All the level up options are pretty cool and the hero’s you can have run with you are great too. The only real issue I have is that I’ve been stuck on level 600 for about 2 weeks now. This is with upgrading and leveling up both my character and my hero’s and my skills DAILY. It doesn’t matter how much I level EVERYTHING up this boss is simply unbeatable. I’ve even got a FULL lineup of legendary hero’s to fight with me and still nothing. Im about to give up and just uninstall it but I’d honestly rather not. Also with the new update the afk collect screen pops up waaaaaayyy too much. Like after and during every screen switch it pops up prompting you to collect your afk rewards and is very frustrating. So in the end a very fun game but def needs to be made possible to get past level 600 because this is kinda ridiculous at this point.

The main ways to get stats in the game, at the start, is gold. You can get that easily enough playing or idle, sure. But after a few days to a week, it becomes a better use of gold to focus resources on equipment. You upgrade equipment with gold and enhance using rebirth stones.To get rebirth stones, even using the premium auto function to rebirth at any stage you pick (instead of doing it manually), you MUST leave your phone on with the game open for it to work. If you need your phone running the game and screen on 24/7 to get the resources, that’s not much of an idle game. Back to AFK Arena for me.I will say this game has some cool functions. Crit vs Super crit vs ultra crits, defense vs damage reduction, spells & rune modifiers, 4 different upgrade trees. There are some really cool gameplay mechanics. BUT YOU CANNOT AFK, CANNOT fully PROGRESS OFFLINE. So uninstalled. If I need a screen on for hours to progress, I’ll play an actual game on my Xbox.
