Kingdom of Heroes:Tactics War

Really a great game for semi casual tactics players. I feel it helps you out fairly well along the story and isnt fully p2p. I find myself using different units in different situations and there are no “must have or you cant compete”. Can be casual or intense just depends on how much you want to put it. Ps found best way to make in game currency is to sell runes and run the dungeon. Gems early complete the paths (also helps with scrolls and upgrades) My only complaint is endgame gets brutal when you start to run out of acomplishments. Its basically impossible to get 5 star units without paying real cash. For example I was underwhelmed when I beat every story mode level and difficulty and got a crappy scroll and a few gems. Or finishing the 100th floor of normal tower and not getting a guaranteed 5 star... I mean common. But enough complaining, I do enjoy this one and you will to!!!

I am really enjoying this game. I love tactical type games and this one fits the bill perfectly. I already got two 5star drops from the normal gem currency you can accumulate thru gameplay. I haven’t spent a dime yet, but I’m going to throw some loot their way, great game so far... loving it. Edit: After playing for awhile the drop rates are hideous, I think I was extremely lucky in the beginning. After my last multiple pulls on gems you only get the one 4star hero, but you are guaranteed that one anyway. I have yet to see a 4 or 5 star pull on the red crystals. Always 3star. The amount of pulls you would need to power up a hero to full and get them to 6 star are crazy. But there are multiple people in the arena with three or four fully powered hero’s, needless to say you can’t win against them at all. I still think the game is fun, but if you want to be able to go toe to toe with higher ups in arena, be prepared to fork over hundreds of dollars to maybe get close to where they are at. Maybe a thousand or two. It’s crazy.

Artwork and gameplay doesn’t match. If that was even a bit closer I’d have to say this game would be a keeper. Another thing is segregating dark/light units from the rest of the gacha was a stupid move imo. It’s forcing your small player base into getting fire/water/wood units. Shouldn’t be that way. Rewards make you feel like you’re getting somewhere but you’re not. 1-3 gems a reward and it’s 300 to do a full 10x summon. I’ve done about 4 summons and not a single 5* from that. Should tell you something and my only 5* was a free ticket they give you but the tickets only allow fire/water/wood units. It’s a really easy game to learn, interface is nice and simple, tactics level is amateur/intermediate. All I can see is this being a cash grab game and quickly off the market for a remake. They’ll switch things up and release it under another title. Also after I did my first initial review which disappeared my game also stopped working and my account doesn’t exist (linked both to my Apple acc and my FB acc)... lol. Cool. So from a 2* I’m dropping a 1*. I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Should be zero issues.

So far, this game is going in the right direction. Great characters, amazing visuals and art, and a fair and not crippling gacha rates. There are are two things that it needs to excel and then it’s good to go: Lasting content and uniqueness. I’ll leave content to the developer, but I’ll give a brief idea for its uniqueness. I love gacha games and I know of three juggernauts that this games will need to at least be semi-close in popularity towards of: Summoner Wars, Epic 7, and (ugh) RAID Shadow. To the developer, if you just this game to be something anyone can enjoy, regardless of popularity then that’s ok. I’m just this because I can the great potential this game has. Overall as of now, it’s a fun game with no means p2w due to the amount of generous awards that this game brings.

As far as taking the Summoners War format and improving upon it, Epic Seven does it far better and with far better production value and a story that’s actually worth following. Kingdom of Heroes doesn’t really do much to the formula besides slapping it onto a Tactics grid, even the debuffs and statuses are named the same as in SW. The #1 draw to this game is being able to choose a free 5-star and a free 4-star unit of your choice, either picking someone to carry you to the lategame smoothly (Ingway) or to guarantee you’ll have someone worth building your squads around lategame (Claudia, Esperanza, Ifrit, Morgana, Bartholomew). I’d hesitate to call the game another generic SW clone, because the art direction is actually pretty strong. But it is what it is, and as such there’s not much of a community and thus no resources like tier lists, guides, datamined damage multiplier values, etc. If you pick this game up, enjoy it casually with the generous freebies but it’s not worth being your primary mobile game, especially for the amount of time it demands you put in daily.
