So far so good – Hero Wars Legend Stick Fight Review

Simple mechanics but a fun game so far.. important to note two things: -2 of 3 characters (including the character shown in the video) can only be unlocked by buying them for 4.99 and 2.99 -can’t unlock max level of skills without gems which when f2p come at a low rate UPDATE: upon completion (?) of the game, I have to update my previous review of 4 stars. The reality is that it starts off really fun but fizzes our after you realize a few things: - every single level past the second world has all the exact same mobs -the rate of gain for gems is ridiculously low, you would never be able to max out your characters skills being free to play -similarly the rate of gold gain doesn’t scale with level so even end game you are getting 1-5 gold from a mob -the best gold gain is from having full hp and mana at the very end which kind of discourages the use of your special skill -there isn’t the slightest hint of a story -the final boss fight is extremely extremely extremely disappointing— someone clearly got super lazy at the end— - lastly the treasure chest rewards that you unlock keys for suck—That system needs to be revamped. -after the last fight the next world just says under construction. Now the boss fight that simulates the first boss fight on Sonic 1 is the best boss fight in the game. The last one is disappointing he literally only does one attack the whole time that when you dodge he gets stunned. The sword guy dlc is interesting— he looks cool and his melee moves have more range than the first character. Also his special hits twice full screen so it’s stronger but his gun move is trash. The main guy is stronger than him towards the end if you either run levels for 2-3weeks to unlock the better costumes or just pay for some gold. I didn’t pay to unlock the third guy that is shown in the video above. I did unlock mostly all the gem perks and I will say that if you’re gonna buy just one I absolutely recommend the one that skips the ads for the tv chests. In later levels he last thing you want to be doing in the heat of battle is stopping to watch a 15-30 second video to maaaaybe get some heals. It gets old and you may find yourself skipping those Chests like I did until I unlocked this ad skipping gem perk. I will say that given how much resources they give you for such little money it makes me feel like the game is actually just a quick cheap cash grab and that none of these under construction skills,levels and equipments will ever be actually finished All in all it was fun but the diversity in enemies was a bummer, the very obvious paywall preventing you from being f2p and the predictability of the final boss and his other iterations knocked some of my appreciation down for the game
