A small step for Hero Wars — a giant leap for antimages.
Crow powers up with his second Talisman!
Hero Wars: Alliance is a high-octane mix of hero collection, strategy, and idle-progression that has become a staple of the mobile RPG genre. The core loop of assembling a team of five heroes to battle through waves of enemies is incredibly satisfying, thanks to the depth of hero synergies and faction bonuses. With over 80 heroes to unlock, the meta-game is constantly evolving.
While the marketing often highlights the mini-game puzzles, the meat of the experience is in the Guild Wars, Titan battles, and the Arena. It’s a game of long-term planning—calculating which skills to level up and which artifacts to forge. For a free-to-play title, it offers an immense amount of content, though progression naturally slows down as you reach the endgame. If you enjoy theory-crafting and community-driven gameplay through alliances, this is one of the most robust options on the store.
80+ unique heroes to collect
Intense PvP Arena and Grand Arena
Massive Guild Wars and Co-op play
Regular special events and mini-games
Deep character customization and artifacts
Always include a Tank to absorb damage and a Healer to sustain your team. Pair them with Damage Dealers (DPS) that share faction synergy for bonuses.
Once you unlock Titans, focus on elemental counters. Water beats Fire, Fire beats Earth, and Earth beats Water.
Yes, all heroes can be earned through gameplay, though purchases can speed up the process.
I have been playing this game for several years now there are several things that are phenomenal about this game for starters you can literally play for years without sinking a dime into the game and have very phenomenal characters very strong defending titans attack in titans which is another key point of the game that is is great the fact that there are two totally different areas with two very different types of gameplay there’s events that happen if you do have a little bit of money to sink into the Game you can progress a lot faster but it’s not necessary over the years I’ve put a little bit in but during large gaps of time where I don’t it’s still loads of fun and you can play throughout the day most games there are limiters put on where you’re no longer able to play unless you sync money in and it will literally take playing for like an hour or more before it hits that point every day and this game gives you excellent exercise in patience as well there is no instant gratification and while you can play literally all day it is set up in such a way that like you kind of almost have to walk away for a little bit and then pick it back up in order to continue doing some of the stuff which is good because it makes you take a break but I’m rambling a little bit here all in all try this game give it a shot I guarantee you will love it
It tricked me with that match the hero in the tower to the enemy. Whatever. I was looking forward to that kind of garbage game but I was really surprised when it became this game. This is similar to a Disney game. Gist you send your heroes to fight enemies to increases levels. Same as Disney game of name I can’t remember. But both are super cute. I like this game for its graphics and cutie heroes. It’s mostly afk which is also good since I’m lazy. You can buy a lot of upgrades in this game. I’m poor so I can’t but if you have extra money there’s so much cosmetic upgrades to your heroes which are really good looking. Obv the mechanics of the game are simple you can put it on auto and let them fight. Like I said mostly afk. There is a website which oddly enough lets you play on the computer the same version of the game. I signed up for a second account not on purpose but whatever I started again online. There are some differences to the website vs app. You get different heroes to begin with and different events online. Also there’s a skill level up for both app and web but the web gives you 20 while app gives you 10. Im not mad bc the game in and of itself is fun so when one game runs out of energy I play the other. Yeah it’s time consuming but it’s fun for now. I give it 5/5. The game gives lots of freebies to both accounts so it’s engaging and keeps you coming back for more.
Been playing for about three months; spent nearly 3 years as an avid player of Per Blue’s (later tragically bought by Gree) Dragonsoul prior to this. That game had a rabid and passionate fan base that was in love with a flawed but immensely enjoyable game. While Per Blue moved on to Disney Heroes, *this* is the game that is the true heir to DS players. The extended depth of play that’s offered via so many different ways to power up your characters is cerebral enough for power players but simple enough that casual players can follow along. The guild sparring sessions, which had been actively sought by DS players forever, are offered from the moment of guild membership. And the titans offer an entirely different plain of heroes to progress through that intertwine beautifully with your main party in both the dungeon & in guild war. This isn’t to say the game is perfect—the chat function is notoriously unreliable for delivering alerts & has no DM capability (though this is supposedly being addressed). Also, gold scarcity and drop rates are real issues even at the blue rarities; violet & orange are brutal at times. But the social media bonus codes are extremely generous & the events & contests pay out very, VERY well; basically you buy the gold & gems and they give you the heroes for free. That ANY purchase secures you unlimited raiding is also a very player friendly choice. Get your friends to go in together with you as you’ll all have a great time.
This is not a free to play game. The puzzles are to make you download the game they don’t continue. Gems, gold, artifacts for hero’s and titans, equipment, skills, skins and gift of elements all cost money. All are necessary. (Grey) (green,1) (blue,1,2) (violet, 1,2,3) (gold,1,2,3,4) <still continues with this pattern on from there until max color level 120. If I had to guess if you spent 800$ and then at least 20-30 a week you can be top 30. There are over 500 servers of this. Over 10 guilds each server with 30 people each….They have enough money. Now lets talk about the game. It’s actually really fun the art styles are interesting and many different tasks to keep you busy that teach you about the whole game overall. If there was a way to choose a healer a tank and damage dealer of your choice then you had to build up a team from there, the game would be much better, but giving everyone the same teams and making them pay to get a random team to pay to level is just too much. I’m rich and quite addicted to this and I still think it’s a problem because I’m spending so much on a mobile game with cartoon characters, just to not have enough fake gems and gold when I really want to play more I have to turn the game off and spend more or play slow. Much rather just buy characters outright and level who I want to play with.
8 hours in, this is my first time playing this kind of game, I think it’s pretty well laid out and balanced. Then the grind kicked in. 2 months in. Still good. Some new content. Starting to get a little grindy 5 months in, the grind is getting too much. 5 months in, grind grind grind. Some cool events though. Grindddd. 7 months in, still hanging on. 10 months in, it gets a little better. Whoa, one year already? Still grinding , new game modes are alright. Is it really a year now , sure, grinding for the perfect 5. A year already? Grinding for end game. What is end game? I dunno anymore. How long has it been? A year now? I lost count, I dunno anymore. Another update: I guess things are better when your guild is good. So ya, join a good guild guys. Another update , I am out of new words to describe. Update#36: what am I grinding for …update #37, ok, so Nextar does try to make the game better/feel different through out the years. Update #38: game still feel alright with new Hero’s etc. #39 : read above. #40: hope more optimization comes along. And more live improvement too. #41: QoL improvement did come along, wish there is more automation. #42 still grinding. #43 really dig the new graphics update. Can’t shake the feeling I am doing the same thing over and over again though; #44 the gui and gfx updates are nice
I have found the characters and their backgrounds, as well as the scenario story bits, engaging. The various character abilities are many and varied and it’s fun to find the synergies between characters. It is unfortunate that the narrative campaign only runs thirteen chapters. All I’m left with now is repeated grinding to compete in arena events against other players, which becomes tedious quickly and is leading to fatigue and progressive loss of interest in this game. Suggestions for the developers: 1) Allow the Light and Dark Titans to participate with the other “pure element” Titan battles. At least the option to add one. For one reason, the Light and Dark Titans to not get previous battles to charge their skills before a mixed elements battle. And another is to allow the pure element Titans to keep going just a little longer as they will wear down just don’t recover anything between fights. 2) A filter option on the hero roster so that it is less tedious to set up teams by Faction, Placement, and Role. 3) More mini-games! I’m getting bored! 4) When these seasonal (or monthly, or new character reveal,…whatever) please include a mini-adventure. Just opening a store for all these “one time only” coins is…dull. 5) Add some more chapters. I’m not a huge PvP type and rather take on the narrative. And speaking of which, be nice to have an in-game encyclopedia that is maybe progressively unlocked so that I can look up general data on opponents. Not asking for spoilers! It’d be like bardic tavern talk that will give insights as to what you are facing.
Okay, it’s a gattaca game, if you don’t like those we’ll take a hard pass. Okay so you like gattaca games? Then this one is pretty entertaining. By far the deepest character progression of any of these games I’ve played, layers and layers of things to improve your characters. Quite a few games modes and different characters shine in different roles, a good sign. So with any of these games is it pay to win? So I did very well without paying anything but it is obvious that if I were “competing” with someone money could push one of us ahead easily, so you can have fun free to play but money is going to make moving up way easier. They have a vip system and vip rank 1 is the one that really matters, it gives unlimited instant auto battles, very nice. You can get this by spending $2 so not bad.. I bought a $10 gem pack when they were on a x4 special, this was hugely helpful and I don’t see spending anymore on the game. I don’t see anywhere in the game where a lack of spending will stop me, it will just slow me down but I don’t mind that at all, these games are a fun diversion for me, I don’t need to be a “top ten” player on a mobile game… All in all I say if your a gattaca fan try it out, it plays fast and will have a few features you wish the devs of other gattaca games would take notice of(hey raid their take on a hydra boss isn’t rocket science…).
Is the game fun yes. Is it another cash grabbing game yes. When you first start off it seems like it’s not going to be one of those games. Can you play without spending money, yes. But you won’t be able to keep up and compete at the same levels and a lot of guilds in order to be successful at least half of your team needs to be big spenders. My whole team and I have discussed how the game is going down hill. They have made level progression harder recently so even if your spending big bucks you’re getting less for your money. The amount you spend is also high they have horrible packages. Which is another thing after discussing with the team, different countries have different prices. In the US you are looking at most lowest packages being generally around 19, but really range from 19,29,99. You won’t ever see the 1.99 or 4.99 like you do in other money games. It would be one thing if when you bought packages at 20 dollars that you felt an impact a really one in the game, but honestly you don’t. You’d need to spend A LOT more and frequently and even my heavy spenders in my guild are getting tired of how the progression of leveling is getting worse as if the game is trying to make people spend MORE money as if they aren’t already making bank. So if you do decide to play it keep in mind the way the game is setup it’s almost like those shiny gambling machines. You will fill the urge to spend spend spend and honestly get no where. I only get on anymore just to assist my team in battles.
