Cup Heroes is an innovative action-roguelike where your primary goal is to multiply your strength to overcome massive enemy waves. By passing your attacks through multiplier cups, you can turn a single projectile into a literal flood. Earn gold, upgrade your hero's base stats, and choose from a variety of tactical skills to survive longer in increasingly difficult environments.

Our Expert Score

88/100

Cup Heroes is a brilliant fusion of roguelike progression and satisfying 'multiplier' mechanics. The core loop involves upgrading your hero and choosing the right skills to fend off waves of enemies, but the real magic happens when you see the sheer volume of projectiles bouncing around the screen. It taps into that primal 'more is better' satisfaction as you watch your power scale exponentially.

The game design is clearly inspired by modern 'survivor' style games, but the 'cup' and 'ball' physics give it a unique identity. It's incredibly addictive because the upgrades feel meaningful. You aren't just getting a 5% damage boost; you're doubling your fire rate or adding branching projectiles that fill the screen. It's chaotic, colorful, and perfect for short bursts of play.

NOT a pay to play game.
Sun Nov 24 2024 Katie[DDG]

First, this game looks and plays exactly like the pictures showed. It’s a turn based attack game where you defeat waves of enemies. In between each wave you’ll play the cup game where you multiply balls that will then be used for currency to buy the perks each wave. It’s strategy to to pick which perk will be beneficial later in the rounds. You’ll earn armor, and pieces that you’ll need to to merge and upgrade armors. There’s multiple classes of armor that each have their own perks but you can mix and match what works for your character. Even failing the round will reward you , just with less then when you win. You can also go back and replay all the levels to get your upgrade pieces if you are getting stuck on a level. Each hero you play with also has different perks at the end of each wave. You’ll earn coins and diamonds through the game as well so you don’t have to buy them. It’s super addictive and very fun. The only thing I would change would be to have more descriptions on what certain things do / mean. You’ll eventually figure it out by playing but it would be nice to just have an info button.

PLEASE GO BACK TO THE PIXELATED LOOK
Wed Jun 04 2025 pinkfink45

I love this game so much. I’ve grinded so much and have never spent money on a game I found from an ad other than this game. I’ve never had any complaints. Until now. I can’t comprehend why you’d change the pixelated look of the game. It looks so bad now to the point it makes me not even want to play. It doesn’t give it the nostalgic old game feeling anymore. It looks awful and I’m disappointed. The heroes all looked so cool and now they look like a kid came up with how everything looks. You changed one of the coolest heroes (mammon even though I didn’t use him) into a complete different hero. I never thought just the look of a game could change me wanting to play it like this. I won’t be spending money on or even playing this game anymore until it’s switched back. I hope that’s a possibility. This game was perfect how it was. I hope you take my review into consideration. All love no hate. Just genuine feedback.

Basically pay to win

The game was extremely fun for a few weeks. I even paid $5 to never see ads again because I liked the game so much. Unfortunately, after around level 20 the ball rewards never show another “+6 balls at the beginning of each round” which means it’s impossible to get enough balls for a good power up before being forced to watch an ad. It definitely feels like this lack of the +6 balls is on purpose. Additionally, you can’t get past certain levels without being forced to level up, which means losing 15 games in a row until you have enough coins to level up. The alternative is paying for gems to get coins to level up, or watching ads to get power boosts. At the foundation, this game is highly fun and addictive, however there is a point of diminishing returns where you’re just stuck. Without the +6 balls, you’ll never have good enough power ups to win the game because each round you get maybe 4-6 balls to start and will get maybe 40 balls to spend each round. I hope the devs read this and fix the issue - unless it’s on purpose, in which I just can’t play the game anymore for more than 1 round without being bored.

Fun, but don’t trust them

So I was playing this game through another app that you can make money with their offers, but they don’t mind paying you the money for the smaller amount but when you get to the big amount of money, they don’t wanna pay you. They’ll all of a sudden claim that it’s no longer Tracking the game and I’ve completed the last task the same day or the next day and then all of a sudden it’s not Tracking and this is the third time it’s happened with other apps as well. They are a third-party that want to pay you to play their game. But don’t trust them when you get to the very end they’re not gonna wanna pay you anything so be prepared for that because that’s what they did to me and I like the game, which is so disappointing because I think it’s cute and I have even been afterwards, but because they’re not gonna pay me I’m not playing anymore. That made me so mad like why even offered that to play your game if you’re not gonna give it to me that’s just being a liar and scamming me for my time. I even wanted to make a purchase because I do like the game but I just don’t trust them and they don’t deserve to get my purchase because they’re not gonna pay me anything anyway like they promised.

Unless they do better do t get the app!!!

Ok when I first started playing this game I was in love ….. then about a week into it I started noticing little things that kind of annoyed me but got over it …. Then another week went by and now the only changes I have noticed are exponentially worse than before said improvement….. random forced adds when I have either not even had the chance to watch one on my own or directly after I have just watch a whole add…. Also the game play is getting to the point where it is t fun to play anymore cause the opponents from the beginning when we as players have no chance at having the perks have most of not all the perks used against us….. then when for example I have upgraded the chance to attack twice to the fullest so meaning 80% chance of attacking 2 times I will go whole rounds till death only attacking once while the 5 opponents each attack twice till I’m dead….. it’s become not fun! I have never played an app that as they fix stuff and update it it has gotten worse so bad it’s maddening and almost not worth the time…

A fun game

Update: I can’t seem to reach out to app support. Please remove the flash that comes with the high score screen. It’s hard on the eyes, especially when playing in a darkened area. Thank you. I enjoy playing Cup Heroes. The concept is fun and it’s challenging enough without feeling like it’s impossible to win a level. I decided to go ad-free, which was a good decision. My only real complaint is that they’re always trying to push players to buy packages for upgrades. If they were a reasonable price, I’d consider it. They always show a “discounted” price and the original amount is plain crazy. You can get a leveled up hero for like $40, which was discounted from like $130. Those are estimates but it’s a pretty extreme amount like that. I just wish they’d stop making pop-ups happen after every level and when you open the app, even with ads removed. It feels very pushy.

Wow

Be prepared to have ads stuffed down your throat at every turn. Of course, you can pay an astronomical amount to not be forced to watch ads. How dystopian does this sound? You have to pay to not be forced to watch advertisements, which make tons of money for these people without giving anything back to the player, in which to play a GAME, which is designed so that you reach a point very early on after downloading in which you must spend money in order to progress or play anymore. I think we are just a few years away from the largest class action suit in US history, because of how predatory and immoral these companies are becoming. Imagine that, imagine you are the type of person who knowingly decreases the quality of a persons life and refuses to do what is right until they are forced to by government intervention. I think many of us will rejoice and never again give a moment of our time to any of these predators who truly could care less if we live or die. Thanks for adding to the darkness in the world by prioritizing money above people, but karma will have its day; she always does.

Ruined By Greed.

Update reset my level, took away my favorite gear set, took away all of my coins and my desire to play. The recent overhaul to this game has completely ruined everything it had going for it. Before the update each wave felt like a constant tug of war where it could go either way but if I selected my abilities properly they were winnable. Now post update I’m constantly being one shotted. Armor does nothing, damage reduction does nothing. Gear does absolutely nothing to change this. Impossible to make it past wave #1 in “Infinite Waves” because you’re instantly one shotted. Beyond gameplay, there’s been a clear shift from a fair free to play model with optional paid upgrades to absolutely needing to pay or you will not progress. Not to mention things that I’ve already paid for have been completely removed from the game which is just flat out theft. I had no problem spending on the game prior because I genuinely enjoyed my time playing. Now it’s as if I’m being held for ransom. I will not be forced to spend money for progression.
