Forged Fantasy

This game is pretty fun in my opinion, I’m not really gonna go into details on that part. My one big problem with this game so far is the price your asking for for some of the bundles. For instance the starter bundle is $7, not really expensive but considering what you get for it, it’s kinda asking too much. Sure there are a couple good items but a 1 star hero? Really? If I’m gonna pay you actual money I expect a decent hero besides the items, 3 star would be nice but I’d settle for a 2 star. Also your mega starter bundle......$30 bucks? Seriously? Come on if you wanna keep people over longer periods of time and make more money in the long run you need to lower the prices on some of these things, otherwise it makes it feel like these things aren’t worth the money and will drive people away. I for one don’t know how much longer I will continue to play this game because of this reason. I know nobody is forcing me to spend money but I can already tell this is gonna end up being a pay to win game at some point.....

Honestly, I really enjoyed this game. It’s a bit of a fresh take on a VERY overdone formula (collect heroes, get shards to increase their star level and gear to increase their tier). The combat is pretty engaging and the hero you take control of can really change the fight. Graphics are amazing and the story is pretty interesting with some pretty funny dialogue. I will say I really like how they made it so every hard battle rewards you with a shard, instead of just a chance for one like other games. There are two major issues for me however. The first is that the prices for things are outrageous. When I play games like this, I don’t mind dropping like 10-15 bucks just to get some things. But these guys want $30 for one hero. Not only that but they claim it’s “discounted” 80%. Meaning they actually thing their hero is worth $150? That’s insane and they know it. In general gems are also too expensive for what they return. The other issue is that you cap out at level 35. Obviously they plan to change that, but it’s such a low level to cap at that I ran out of things to do very quickly and lost interest. They fix those things and this is genuinely a 5 star game.

I don’t spend money on phone games, so I can’t comment on that aspect. It’s fun, I play it at work and the auto combat function is great. It’s mindless. My big takeaway is the big with stamina. It’ll notify you that you have full stamina and you think “oh cool, time to farm some gear” you farm it and expend all you can. Then you log in later, your stamina is full before you thought it’d be and you loss some progress. I don’t know how that works, I don’t know how or why it reverts you to previous progress, but it’s annoying. This happening, I think I’ve lost out on at least 1k stamina points. It is what it is, but that fact that I had to get the same items and re-promote the fish guy really irked me. And to be fair, I’d probably be at least 47-48. Which matters when you get paired up with a 49 on PVP 3 times in a row. Other than that, if you aren’t as tempted for micro-transactions like I am, it’s pretty friggin lit for a mobile game.

I downloaded this without paying attention to the developer and within 5 seconds knew everything about this game. I was a huge fan of Hotheads other game, Hero Hunters. I was level 75 (the cap at the time I left the game) with over 15 heroes at platinum level. So I think I have the experience to tell everyone that this game is IDENTICAL to Hero Hunters, I don’t mean just in general RPG formula, that would be fine. I’m talking about the heroes, which are all direct copies of heroes from that game, all they did was rename the abilities. They didn’t even try to switch up the abilities even a little bit, a Hero from this game has an identical version in Hero Hunters, which is just lazy cash grabbing. You could probably look at the release schedule of Hero Hunters and it would let you know what the next “new” Hero in this game will do. If you played Hero Hunters you’ve played this game and let me tell you as someone who grinded to level 75 and spent a significant amount of money in that game. DO NOT spend money on this game, it will just follow the same path as Hero Hunters and come to an agonizingly repetitive experience.

But like anything, it can get repetitive over time. First, I would love games like this to stop at 10 star heroes, it was hard enough to get to 5 stars, it’s getting ridiculous. Also, I will never, ever pay money for gamble chests, but I might pay if a specific character became available. These deals occasionally happen, but again, the chests filled with random items/heroes is a gamble and I will never spend a dime to open one. A big drawback of this game is the reliance on multiplayer to complete certain events. If there’s nobody online, trying to compete in the same event you are at the same time, you won’t be able to complete the mission. It would be nice to have an AI team to help out, or have the option to play them solo. Connectivity issues can also hinder the gameplay. I can be sitting right next to my router and see the “low WiFi signal“ symbol, which can prevent hits from registering on the enemy, game progression and/or other issues.
