Fun at first, but dissapointed as the updates went along. While the 'older' players had to farm exponentially for a perfect epic, now you have so many ways to exchange items or power up your character. If I were to start from the beginning now I would progress so much faster than before just because of all the different systems added. Pretty much time lost at this point.

Love this game and may be addicted. Bit frustrating that the difficulty level seems to swing from 'easy' to 'fair' to 'Impossible' which is why I'm stuck on the same level for about 5 months. The in app purchases don't help much because there is just so much to upgrade and change. 100% recommend but, quite when you're ready to snap your phone or bankrupt yourself.

I've really enjoyed the game. I got rid of it three times for space, only to go and download it again a week later. I have yet to spend money on it after two years. The ads are really low compared to other mobile games and the tech support get on any issues that may arise, to the point of contacting me with-in two hours of my complaint and on that time they resolved my problem. Thank you developer team.

Honestly, one of the best mobile games I've ever played. Totally easy at first but gets progressively harder, you have to really learn how to dodge and fire effectively to actually beat levels. But the key thing is that you can still really enjoy yourself as a free-to-play gamer and do not have to rely on paying for gems or coins etc to actually be successful in the game. Also the dev team are brilliant and engage. I do hate how many pet time speed up potions you're forced to collect though...

Games actually really fun. Sucked me in. Spent a good bit of money over time I've played. Now game is constantly crashing. You can play 1 level, fine. Go to the next level or round within 10 levels it starts freezing. Probably 10 crashes an hour or more. Makes the game unplayable now I feel played myself. All the money spent on a game I enjoyed that now I can't even play. Shame.

This game used to be my favorite. It was well balanced and one could progress pretty well without paying to play. The past 3 updates though have chipped away at the free to play model and significantly reduced the notion that one can play an enjoyable game. The pvp is screwed up, and the side quest levels that one could play can't even be beaten on normal mode by high their players. If they straighten it back up, I could see myself enjoying it again. But as it stands right now, it is awful.

After playing this game over two years and doing almost every daily quest every day, I'm starting to hate this game. I don't wanna throw away all that time spent on this but game AI force you to pay for play. For example if you play with one hero its almost impossible to get that hearo shard.and also weapons or other things is the same. I couldn't beat the level 21!! It's not a free to play game at all. It's wast of time. If nothing changes after next update I'll delete it. What a shame :(((

Really liked the game initially but the more it has been developed the less fun it has become. Few glitches I have reached out about multiple times over the span of over a month with no resolution or really any response. Customer service is extremely poor. Overall if it comes to choosing other games over it I would just purely based on that experience alone. For me it's a don't recommend.

Could be so much better....I don't have a problem watching ads, but the loot and progress syst is beyond stupid, especially after the last updates. The grind is unending and not at all rewarding. To get one piece of equipment to the highest level you need 243 drops of that item (or 3x243 of there is another level) The drops are horrendous, as you can clear a level and not get a single drop. Chests should give guaranteed uncommon and epic ones at least rare items.. "Wish" does 0...

A few days ago I got the Gale Force Epic weapon, as I've been playing I realized that when the special attack is loaded, it shoots towards the direction the character is looking, I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but sometimes it doesn't you can turn the character to the direction the enemy is facing and you waste this shot, they should make the shot go automatically to the enemy like it always does, I'd like you to think about it, thank you very much.

I have been playing this game for 4 years now It's a a fun game without doubt , The in game effects are great but sometimes it overwhelmes the phone to the point it lags it which ends up ending the run , although the game never crashed on me but would like an option to reduce some settings to make it run smoother. Thank you developers.

Great game overall but I don't understand how I am suppose to progress in a reasonable time frame without better gear. I have made it like arena 7 and I still haven't even got a green rarity item from enemies dropping them. You guys need to fix the drop pool or at least make it clean at what stage gear drops. I genuinely and struggling to keep playing bc the highest rarity thing I have is a single purple ring that I got from a chest. I refuse to spend money on a free to play game.

Well, I was a bit skeptical while downloading archero, since I've seen some complain about some games having too many and such. But surprisingly, this is a fun game. There's just only one problem I have with the game, but not too much. The game can feel unplayable if you're playing offline or on airplane mode just to play the game ad-free, and you can't make any upgrades to your gear for most. But overall, this is definitely a game to play to kill time. Highly recommended!

I've been playing since release. Overall a great game! Things have been changing recently, some positive and some negative. The price of the Advanced Battle Pass is too much for something that renews approximately 2x each month. $9.99-12.99 at the most, is more fair. With both monthly subscriptions and both battle passes, the monthly cost of having these extras is a LOT, so a discount package for all 4 would be something that I would be interested in as well.

This is a solid app to sink some time into if you want to play a combat game which requires skill. The challenge in the combat comes from needing to move to avoid the projectiles but having to stay still to fire. On the monetization, the prices are high but I haven't been tempted to buy anything. You can get a fair amount of materials for free or by watching ads to upgrade your character. I don't feel pressure to purchase anything so that's a plus. It's fun to just shoot away and dodge.

I enjoy this game a lot, but it is definitely a very slow grind. You'll get to a point where you're replaying the same levels over and over again without gaining much progress whatsoever. If you're like me, you may even lose your purchases. My battepass disappeared and I lost all progress towards the rewards on that... Frustrating.

I love the game as a whole and it's very fun if not a bit too grindy and repetitive in that sense. But my complaint is that I bought both battle passes that being something like 24 bucks in total thinking it would just last forever and I've found out that apparently it doesnt, after the season ends the battle passes disappear. I wasn't informed of this at all in the process of buying them... this needs to change
noname779289, the 16/05/2022

Do not buy the advanced battle pass! Wow... At least put a disclaimer that when you purchase the "advanced battle pass" you do not get the perks of the regular "battle pass". I will not spend another dime on this game after realizing this. Although you can eventually get everything by not spending money, every where you turn there is a new offer to spend money. A fun game but it has turned into just another money grab.

The ads are great, interesting and well done, it's evident the effort put into producing them. Only 2 stars bc ads are somehow interrupted but this strange archery game where you kill monsters. Luckily, the energy system and slow progress forces you to watch more of these wonderluf ads. You can also pay to avoid the ads, but why should you? The ads are great! ????

Been playing this game for a few years on and off. Always gone back to it. Love the game and the way u can do different equipment layouts are clever. It's about timing dodge and attack. Dodge and attack. Later stages fusion of gear past legendary takes some serious work for free players so need more chances to get better tier gear without 1k plus gems to waste. But amazing game. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Its fun but after a point the grind gets a tad much, you end up hitting these equip walls that keep getting longer due to the upgrade system. Three of one is needed for an upgrade, so as rarity rises, it becomes hard to get said upgrades amd so you'll end up sitting on one item teor for a while. It doesn't break game nor does it do it any favors, never the less its a fun if you have nothing to do if not a tad repetitive.

To get extra rewards they want you to purchase an Adv Battle Pass at $17 every 2 weeks, so $32 a month. As well as other purchases to give "a more enjoyable play experience". After 2 months you could buy Metroid Dread or Horizon Forbiden West which are far better games and they doesn't ask you to pay more and more and more. The new updates have pushed toward pay to win. I would prefer to pay a one time up front fee. A very greedy comany.

I can't deny that the game is fun, but there are so many things that are not in the player's favor that it sours the mood greatly. This isn't a git-gud moment, this is genuinely about game design. There are so many little design choices that ruin the experience that I can't get into in this little review. The game is also littered with the trashy mobile apps kind of practice which saddens me. Be better. Also, it needs volume control so you can play music in the background, not just a toggle.

This game is a lot of fun. The levels and monsters ramp up at a fair pace. The controls are responsive, and there's no lag, no matter how many monsters, or attacks are going off. I don't mind the ads, because they always grant money, gems or upgrades, to help you progress, or you can just avoid them. Its not a pay to win, but they do have fairly priced, in game shop items.
noname594955, the 16/05/2022

Although it's a good game I still don't understand why you neee internet connection to play it.The ads aren't a pain in the butt and are always optional. Gameplay wise it's pretty ok,the movement is smooth,the bosses are not repetitive,the maps are nice it's kinda sad it has also fallen into the battlepass rabbit hole but it doesn't affect the game at all. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is for the internet issue because it makes no sense and it low key seems is a way of promoting ads.

Long time player here who just got back to the game after a long hiatus. Archero's still really great for me but i have one request: PLEASE TURN DOWN THE VOLUME OF YOUR ADS when it plays. I really don't mind watching ads for the sake of getting free stuffs but it is so damn annoying that the ads just blasts out louder than the in-game volume of Archero. I always have to adjust the volume up and down everytime i watch ads for free stuffs and it is really annoying. Hope you read this request guys.

I recently completed Ancient Maze and I ran into 3 issues. 1) When I purchased 2 items from that orange ghost guy my attack speed went from about 3x a second to about 1x every 3 seconds. I looked into this issue and it has apparently been a problem for over a year without being fixed. 2) When my Ultra reached full charge it would discharge and do NOTHING. 3) I purchased a Angel Locket and a Golden Chestplate, both lvl 20 epic quality, and neither were in my inventory after the Maze. Fix it NOW!

Surprisingly fun. I was not forced to watch ads at all. There are free coin or upgrades for watching ads (I skipped it). It actually depends on ur skill, u have to dodge attacks and be a bit strategic. It might get reoititve after a while, but it is fun, no forced ads, and polished. The game is Rouge lite, u move ur character from room to room killing all variety of enemies. It auto shoots when u r not moving, so u r mainly dodging the enemy attacks, fun

The game used to be tons of fun, but they got carried away with features. I used to play all the time, I was deep in the top 1% of players, but I started losing interest as they continued to add all these "features" which bog down the game play. Talents, runes, crystals, an altar, bracelets, necklaces, tomes, etc. There's just too much BS that gets in the way of gameplay

The game is fun to play until I paid for something. Only issue I have: 1. Cost of special characters are too expensive. 2. Still not sure how to properly use the monster farm. 3. I purchased a $16.99 package that included specifically eliminated Ads BUT I still get them!!!. No success on contacting support for help. I suggest not purchasing anything on this game.

Very grindy, but the gameplay is fun. I am getting sick of having to watch ads multiple times to get one reward. If I click to watch ad to get something, it doesn't reward me on completing the ad. I have to watch again, and again, and then it will give out the reward.

Been playing this for like a year on and off. Haven't spent a dime in app. Completely free to play and always room to progress without spending money. It just seems like an option if you want to. I give props to the devs, this is how monetization in a free to play game should be. Games addicting too at times when you get into the hero stages.

I'm surprised to see how much work is going into this game. Congratulations on that. However, when I watch an ad in order to revive, it's reviving me. If I try to watch an ad again. I will remain trapped in the screen until I click the x button and lose progress of my game. This is especially frustrating during weekly events.

I love this game but the share amount of useless abilities that have some of the most ridiculously high roll chances to come up is terrible. It just seems like I see the same five abilities that I don't want always comes up and the ones that are needed to complete that chapter are never seen. There needs to be a major rework in the roll chances for abilities. Not to mention the tedious grind to get weapons and the crazy amount of experience that's needed to level up.
noname218725, the 16/05/2022
________________________________________________
You can never look at what an ability does, before you have to choose. You pick the health increase buff twice, then the next time you pick up health you heal for a measly 40 hp. The ad rewards are not worth it at all. Only one revive chance. Progression just halts after the first few dungeons and you will either have to grind for weeks or spend insane amounts of rl currency. You kill the boss and it doesn't register. All in all a horrible, unsatisfactory game.

The game has gotten better since my last review and it's nice to see new content fairly often. However, I would like to see the ability to refund levels (for coins, sapphires, chips, and shards) in heroes, because 100% of the time, I'm only playing one character. Regrettably, I've still sunk levels into other heroes. Other than that this game has come a long way. Keep it up.

Very fun game to play for 45 minutes at a time. However, for some reason- half of the time when I havn't played the game in 12+ hours, I'll log in to do some auto matches or actually play levels, and my "evergy" or whatever the name of the resource "0/20" is used to play levels is at zero. They regen about one per minute, it has always regenerated while offline before. In the past two weeks this glitch has been happening enough times that it stands out.

Really like this game and it's fun to play. Not really a pay to play game but can if you want. Purchases are priced decent from $1 on up. My only complaint is, I have a Z fold 3 and I either have to play with it zoomed in while folded open, which sucks cause can't see much. Or play on the font screen which let's you see more but it's really tiny. Please make this game more z fold compatible. If that could happen, its definitely worth 5 stars to me

Very fun and addictive game with great character and level progression! Also the perfect example of a game that is free to play without shoving ads in your face. Ads are simply used for earning extra items etc. but aren't requried to progress. Other developers should take note!

All in all I'm happy to say that this game is very much a great mobile game I can't verify its originality but I can say that this game has decent depth and a rather high learning curve, but is rather enjoyable to find yourself spending multiple hours into and I do genuinely feel that compared to other games that are full of microtransactions or no originality or thought that this game is definitely something that you should have on your phone. (WARNING: RESOURCE DEMANDING AND CAN CRASH)
