Nob Hero 9+

This was a game I wasn’t expecting to like as much as I did. From first glance the game seems almost unfinished; no main menu and a bare bones interface. You just start with a choice of 3 random abilities. However, the game runs smooth, the graphics are cute, and the abilities your character can chose are satisfying. You can feel a real sense of power as your character ranks up their abilities. I’ve found success running fireball and maxing out projectiles. There’s also no ads!

In terms of improvements and quality of life I feel like there is a lot that can be implemented. There’s really no reason the game should end with your character getting bombarded by a giant bat after reaching an arbitrary monster kill limit. It feels lazy. There’s no counter play. Atleast let me grind into oblivion until the unending horde of monsters becomes too much. Some sort of indication that monsters are becoming stronger, or even bosses, would break up the pacing in a pleasant way. High scores seem like a must for this type of game, there needs to be some incentive to compete for the highest wave or monster kill count.

Overall I think it’s a fun game and I’m hopeful it receives continual updates. I’ll change my rating to a 5 if we get a main menu.

I love the fact that their are no ads which makes it a very fun and enjoyable game, I have reached the “end” of the game twice now, honestly I would have liked to see no end and just to see how strong I could get or even like a sandbox mode so I mix and match different abilities and spells together, overall I really enjoy it though, would love to see what else can come about it

Prior to the most recent update this game looked like it could be great. The way the enemies died and the gems were collected were satisfying and felt powerful. The look/graphics of the game was simple and light which I really liked. There wasn’t any progression beyond level 64 which was a major let down. All that needed to be added was some progression and it would have been perfect

Instead, the game has been completely overhauled and what made it a little gem have been ruined. The character movement, enemy death, and gem collection all feel sluggish now. The graphics and lighting were redesigned and no longer have a nice feel to them. I don’t mind ads if they’re in moderation, I understand monetization; but now there are optional ads to upgrade some skills the start, there are optional ads after some in game skill upgrades, there is a banner ad throughout the game, and the worst is that the game will be interrupted by mandatory ads. The optional ads and a banner are more than necessary, the ad that stops gameplay is ridiculous.

I saw this game going one of two ways: Improving upon the solid foundation it already had or becoming just another unplayable, ad filled app. Sadly, it became the latter.
