The Lord of the Rings: Heroes for Negative User Reviews

✓ *UPDATED* Bland, buggy SWGOH cloneUpdate: The annoying RESTART bugs have all but disappeared. Yay! Unfortunately, there are still far too many bugs for a high profile game that’s been out this long. The biggest bugs are the game often becoming unresponsive during Auto battle and the game getting stick on a Loading screen after claiming the daily rewards. Customer Support tends to be either unresponsive or utterly unhelpful. That said, there is a lot to like about this game and the more time I’ve spent with it the more I’ve learned its nuances. The many bland, indistinct characters are still a problem though. Original: I expected a LOTR-themed clone of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and that’s what it is. RESTART Unfortunately, the character designs are so bland that it’s often difficult to differentiate between the characters. RESTART With a few exceptions it’s all just a bunch of lookalike humans, elves and hobbits with swords, spears and bows vs lookalike orcs & goblins with swords, spears and bows. RESTART Nowhere near the variety and appeal of Star Wars characters. RESTART Worst of all, the game is super buggy. RESTART And, yes, the game constantly crashes and tells you to RESTART RESTART RESTART RESTART RESTART..S. ShatnerVersion: 1.6.3

✓ Lord of the shovelware!*downloading…..* if you have played one g— *downloading* —ame like this you have played them all *downloading* It’s the same game that so many of *downloading* these apps are. Grind the same few levels over and over and over with drastically diminished returns after the first victory *downloading* so you can level up equipment that you can’t swap out every fu—-*downloading failed check connection!* hero in the game. Hero’s that ,of course because it EA, are tied to “surprise mechanics”. The devs have managed to take this to *downloading* make this even less playable as you are *downloading* constantly interrupted by downloading screens even the pay to win shop (which the game forces you to look at ) is interrupted by downloading screens!.LazoreyesVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Classic letdown by EAIt’s almost incredible how EA can take a franchise as rich in content and depth as LOTR and come up with a bone dry, shallow game. The graphics are super sloppy, weak story, ridiculous priced P2W EVERY time you go back to the main page… this is a game you play when you’re bored in a zoom meeting and wouldn’t mind seeing Legolas, or Frodo. Also requires internet connection at all time. Why.. oh yeah, micro purchases 😂 no other reason.JetstaVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Has potentialRiddled with bugs, wasting their opportunity with such a beloved IP. seem to be focused on making packs rather than fixing bugs. just playing normally you'll encounter many many bugs. if the game will work or more content will be released, this game will fulfill much more of its potential.Random nickname420Version: 1.6.4

✓ Stuck at Adventures.Got all the way to unlocking the Adventures tab and froze. Can’t move forward from it or tap anywhere to clear it except to dismiss the game and restart only to have it load right back on Earindil telling me about it. Frustrating..JohnnyMoe07Version: 1.4.0

✓ Can only play the game for 20 minutesPlayed for just over a month. I am enjoying most aspects of the game, however there is very little to do after you have completed your daily tasks and spent all your energy. Find myself coming on a couple times a day to buy from the shop and use the free energy refresh and thats all I can do. ALSO… I have been farming Legolas in the shop as I was wanting to add him to my arena team and all over a sudden he has been fully removed. He is currently unable to be farmed AT ALL..GeordieLad01Version: 1.6.4

✓ Not with 10,000 men could you do this! Tis folly!Great for the first few hours / days but far to soon you are hit at a stand still were you run out of gold unable to continue. Normally like games like these (very similar to SW and Marvel Heroes) I’ll put a bit of money in to give me that extra boost to farm . The prices for this game are absolutely shocking there so overpriced and you get stingy rewards when you do buy. I paid £4.99 for Arwen only to receive 17 shards out of 100 £4.99 !!! not even the Character I would of even settled for a 1 star. Vey tight in my opinion but hey ho i Learned my lesson , havnt had this problem before with other games when I’ve paid . Graphics are a let down mainly on Character design and looks, the elves look good but as for the rest needs improvement some characters Just look dumb goblins fresh out of Gringots bank and hobbits for example Frodo looks like a homeless child. Feels like the graphics off the Cartoon version of the hobbit. they need to lower the prices and sort out a better reward system as your rewards are lacking and very stingy this early on leaving you disappointed and basically stuck, by doing this more people Will recommend the game bringing more players. Hope This has helped some people . My advice would be only uses your gems on farming Equipment and Characters Shards . Good luck..TomstarsubcsVersion: 1.5.7

✓ No contentGameplay is good and I don’t even mind the graphics which a lot of people seem to have an issue with. What I can’t forgive is the total lack of things to do. They added the raid which granted has added daily play time, sadly that play time is spent in an hour long RNG fest trying to get a decent score before the game freezes and makes you restart. Feels like this was released far too early to meet corporate deadlines..Barker38Version: 1.6.4

✓ Horrifically aggressive store adsThis game is fun enough to play with plenty of characters to collect, but the amount of pop-ups to buy the latest character pack or chest is unbelievable. Every time you enter the main screen, a new ad pops up for some ridiculously priced character bundle. This happens every time and you can’t continue playing the game until you’ve dismissed it. It’s so “in your face” that it makes me second guess whether I want to continue playing. There’s no incentive to buy these characters other than the fact it’s this “legendary LOTR character”. I get this is a free game, but this is unashamedly a pay-to-win. I won’t be spending as much time with this game as I initially wanted..IJ05hEVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Needs Work and UpdatesThis game starts out pretty well fun new story, nice character models and fun enough combat. However it loses steam quickly once you have spent a week playing as the pay walls become clear and there isn’t much gameplay left, as even if you spend money much of the game is locked by your levels which take days to move up. Also the amount of visual bugs is insane as currency changes into other icons or is replaced by a white square, which is just plain annoying. This game had promise but needs something more to keep players engaged as it fizzles out quickly with not much to offer needing lots of patches and more content which has been yet to be seen. Connecting to other players is limited by the laggy and glitchy chat and seems like a single player game most the time, if you are a LOTR fan it may be fun for a bit but gets old quickly..PopdamanopVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Bugs, Gatekeeping, Pay to win, and PS2 graphicsAs the title states the game is riddled with bugs. One of the many bugs I am currently encountering, every time i login the game presents me with an error message asking me to restart and I get the same error message once rebooting. Its happen several days in a row now. I had to create a guild by myself to be able to play a huge portion of the game. All the guilds presented in the guild me u were full, but that doesn't matter because the game is bugged and you cant join any guilds anyways. The game isnt even pay to win, its more like pay to play. Everything is gated behind having certain characters at certain power levels to participate in anything and you drain your stamina almost instantly. So you either spend 5 minutes every few hours over the course of weeks to try to access content or you start buying one of the hundred 20-50 dollar character packs they are jamming down your throat every few minutes. There are many higher quality gatcha games out there that don't gouge you to be able to play..XansyjcVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Poor quality tech and UE, unbalanced gold wallThis would be a great game except for some major bugs that don’t seem to be getting fixed. The game will load oddly and crash suddenly requiring multiple restarts, and there is no way to submit a ticket or feedback. The “contact us” option just takes you to a community support location that is just an echo chamber of people complaining about the same things. There are issues where the system won’t accurately track the gold and items you purchase and you don’t get the correct amounts, and you will hit a HARD gold wall at Lvl 30 that makes advancements impossible. I would skip this until the people working on fix all the bugs and rebalance the entire game..Redd_DoggVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Has promiseThe game is very buggy (crashing regularly), but more infuriatingly all my progress was deleted after the last update, and the tutorial is unskippable..Jazz_machineVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Slightly buggy but enjoyableEnjoying the game so far, but after the last update I’m now getting a bug when trying to progress missions. I beat the first wave and then the game just locks up and doesn’t give me the attack options for the next wave. I quit and come in and I’ve lost the energy because I essentially “forfeit”. This has happened on the same mission now over two days and is halting my progress. After the latest update the problem has persisted. Can’t progress in the gardener’s journey or main story missions..Digijim95Version: 1.6.2

✓ Fun but not for f2pI love me a good phone/tablet game but i dont always like to pay a bunch of money to them. I’ve spent money before on games (summoners war for example), so im not against it. This game is just a huge money grab: ads popping up for items/equipment every time you close a window, the pvp aspect you have to either wait 15 min for refresh or pay gem (or crystals whatever you want to call them) to refresh — they don’t come easy in game (1 or 2 hear and there) or pay for them of course. Farming takes about 3 seconds cas you only have so much energy and unless you refresh — you guessed it with gems again — you dont get a ton. Farming for characters is extremely slow due to the fact some levels you can only farm 5 times per 5 hours and get practically nothing. I love LoTR and am willing to spend 5 min a day to play this game (for the dailies) but if you’re looking for a f2p game as a main game you play don’t choose this one — go to summoners war. You will hate your life but at least you’ll still be playing a game for more than 21 min a wk lol.Shin'nekVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Decent game but crashes a lotAs the title describes its a decent game copying the great template thay have with, unfortunately i have decided to deleted the game as it crashes far to often and will do it multiple times at the same point so your stuck in a loop, not a fan of micro-purchases but the game can be played without them, the game is new and needs time to develop out the bugs and get the game up and running with all its features which it’s running without (compared to the Star Wars counterpart) so when this is done I will think about down loading it again.DcmadamsVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Can be enjoyable with adjustment to economy systemIt’s always fun to play a game that brings nostalgic memory based on one of the most popular film. For a game that just launched, it is a very enjoyable game and it has a robust features that enables players to have fun with one significant issue. The economy in the game is so unbalanced where gold is hard to come by. It is easier to level up than accumulating gold to level up character that eventually, collection of heroes become so unbalanced when it comes to leveling up or upgrading them. Either each quests needs to give a significant increase in the gold earned or have a separate daily quest to increase the gold input would benefit the infant stage of this game. For example, the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes rewards players with a weekly event where players can be rewarded up to 5 million credits that balances the player’s credit/gold input to output. Once again, this game has ton of potential but what it needs now is the adjustment to the economy ASAP before players start losing interests due to lacking gold rewards or earning opportunity to develop their teams..Kitae527Version: 1.5.4

✓ Raids killed itAlright game otherwise, content could be better but the story and characters are solid… some in-game economy issues but that’s to be expected. However, their first chapter of their raids is atrocious. The RNG metric takes strategy right out of the equation, you literally have to run multiple attempts with the same team and based on the RNG you could get a 20k score or a 275k score doing the same exact thing. People are uninstalling, I have a great alliance I’m the leader of, made a discord and put a lot of effort in and I’m ready to uninstall. The rewards aren’t even worth the work, which makes it worse… Content creators are already calling for purchase boycotts and players are dropping off like crazy. Will likely be a great game once Devs prioritize properly..DuckForce0neVersion: 1.6.2

✓ Broken/Bugs/Pay2WinBeen playing the game since May every time they introduce something new it’s full of bugs it affects other parts of the game make the game unplayable quality of life is terrible. They can’t fix something without breaking something else, and is very paid to win. Top-heavy might be good if they ever fix anything..Jolly dad 55Version: 1.7.0

✓ Don’t waste your time or moneyThe game is full of bugs. It’s no longer a new game, it’s been going for 4 months now, therefore the numerous bugs and glitches that have been reported numerous times should have been fixed by now. Why haven’t they? Next to no tech support, that’s why. They’re charging top dollar for in game enhancements but not offering any support to fix their woefully inadequate product. App Store should block this game until EA get it fixed..Czarownik178Version: 1.6.2

✓ In desperate need of balancingThis game plays like the characters were created with absolutely no sense of balance in mind. You should be able to be competitive with any team given some strategy, but no. Certain factions are so wildly out of balance with the rest that you could literally just let the tactically incompetent AI walk you through every battle while you watch the fight out of sheer boredom, while other factions struggle to pull off even a 1* victory against enemies of lower level..NukeladVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Two updates since day 1 and still can’t playI downloaded this game shortly after it was released and despite marking a decent way through the tutorial I got stuck. After getting to the section about autocompleting levels with Frodo the game froze, making it seem like everything was fine but in reality meaning I couldn’t click any buttons to get out of Frodo’s gear equip screen. I waited through two updates for this to be fixed, but it seems that the problem has yet to be fixed. Because I cannot play the game, it seems I’d be better if uninstalling it rather than have it take up the valuable space on my phone that it is currently wasting. Really shows that the priority for the developers isn’t the players..Starwars game #1Version: 1.5.4

✓ Promising but disappointingIf you’re looking for one of the most frustrating game experiences on the App Store, you’ve found it. With the release of the game, CG hyped up its first major content release in Raids, and it has been universally awful. The first chapter of the Mines of Moria raid is immensely frustrating, with multiple layers of RNG that leave all players in our guild angry, frustrated, and dumping hours into a feature for a game that should only take a fraction of that time daily. In addition, raids are both mandatory and unrewarding. So if your goal with your gaming experience is to be frustrated to the point of turning your phone off and walking away, this is the game for you. Players in discord have been complaining about this experience since raids released a month ago, and CG shows no interest in addressing it, so just be aware that your voice will go completely unheard. Additional knocks against this game include: underwhelming graphics and UI, excruciatingly slow progression, multiple resource chokeholds in a wildly unbalanced economy, and paid offers that are laughably pitiful. And a literal unending sea of bugs. Seriously, every week feels like there’s something new that will make you need to restart the app while playing. 2 stars because if you’re playing this game you’re obviously invested in the IP, and because the game has a lot of promise coming from the makers of Galaxy of Heroes. But let’s me honest, this is a really far cry from that..Forest TrashVersion: 1.6.3

✓ Buggy and predatoryBeen buggy since day one, I’ve ended up learning particular patterns which cause the game to crash which I’m having to avoid as it’s incredibly difficult to even report specific bugs. The bottlenecks in terms of gear, experience and gold are so steep so early on it is insane. It’s incredibly hard and tiresome to progress. Seriously lacking in content, which would otherwise be semi acceptable to some degree due to it just releasing but with all the other issues it just adds to the frustration. They don’t mess around with this one with trying to ram over priced packs down your throat straight off the bat..ReeceEllis16367Version: 1.5.7

✓ Very disappointedReset itself to the beginning because I was not able to update. Got home to update and it did not go back to where I was. Not worth waisting my time.I give up almostVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Too many bugs, and nothing to doTo say this is a new game and it’s 2023, why is there so many bugs on release? It crashes all the time, like daily. But that’s not even the end of it, you log on the game and there’s nothing to do. You auto use your stamina then the game is over. Don’t get me wrong am all for ease of game play, but when you log on and literally 5 minutes later you log out, what’s even the point. Looks like another big name on the bandwagon for a quick cash grab. Bit disappointed in EA..Relentless-non stopVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Needs workOkay i stubble across this thinking it would be a nice game but so far it’s just been freezing or can’t open a chest or collect a simple quest as it would frozen or just non responsive and I try the campaign and if you complete a stage & you level up you have to restart your game as it would be glitch out or frozen till you restart it. When you do get it working it’s a pain as it keeps saying downloading this or that just give me a dam way of downloading all the resources like any other game so I don’t have to keep waiting for it to download everything please. It looks nice and it can be fun but there are too many bugs glitches ruining it for it to become even playable..Rick8434Version: 1.4.0

✓ Lord of the Lackluster!Melee combat can be visually exciting and given that it is now 2023, I had hoped they would make it so. But instead of great animations, it is basic running across the field and whacking what appears to be a defenseless opponent and then running back. Over and over and over again. Even at 3x acceleration, it feels really slow. Then they added multiple stages with a stupid loading screen between each stage! It takes for ever for a battle unless it is done using Auto. If the animations and fighting looked better, it would be could have been awesome. But instead it is basic and dull. I wanted to love this game as a long time LOTR fan, but it is frankly just about as boring as it gets. The graphics are merely OK. The gameplay is standard fare for this genre and exactly like SWGOH. The P2W offers are starting out at $20 - that isn’t cheap. Another cash grab type game but this one just doesn’t have the eye candy or the fun of other options out there. I recommend a hard pass..DigitalOzVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Bug all is buggedEven in story mode, you can not go through after you win, you’ll jump out of the app every time. I said every time. So you can not get shard other than some level you have already finish, cause you can use auto. But the new level, after you win, then jump out of the app, repeat, you are already lost. Not usual, you cannot open the game and just stuck in loading when start the app. There’s all my real comments for this game.No name can use in commentVersion: 1.6.5

✓ Enjoyable but flawedGame is enjoyable to play as a daily log on do a few things but it’s super unbalanced and the price points on the packages are just insane..GremlzVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Still has bugsBugs are causing freezing. Not even deletion and reloading it made it work..Egood303Version: 1.5.7

✓ I’m-game Economy is BrokenThe game is buggy and glitchy which you can see in other reviews. Devs have a lot of work to do to make this game not feel like a Beta launch. What concerns me though is how poorly developed the economy is. Purchasing from the gold shop is an extreme waste, shard shop is extremely expensive and worthless, and half the arena shop is items you can’t use. Every real world purchase can’t be used because you’ll need to purchase gold to use it. The experience is frustrating and the farming is inefficient..JJJ9999901Version: 1.5.7

✓ Galaxy of heroes cloneIt’s an ok game, nothing special or innovative, I really enjoy the art style though, the story is weird and hard to follow, super breaks the lore for some unexplained reason, finished chapter one but Ealendil has rendered the game unplayable, it’s in a freeze state on Frodo, I hate forced tutorials for this exact reason, game developers need to stop doing that, give us a skip button, it’s not that hard..6715236thVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Gold bottleneck is atrociousPretty classic game of this type but this one is much more egregious than most in how much it requires you to pay to progress. After about level 30 (maybe 5-6 days of play?) you hit a brick wall with gold that requires you to grind for 2-3 days just to level up one character, whilst making no progress on storylines. Even the paid-for packs (costing upwards of £20) don’t offer gold in any significant quantity. I get the pay to play model but making it impossible to progress after a week is pretty poor..BombadillpickleVersion: 1.5.6

✓ Terrible serviceCG has fully messed up with the delivery of this game. They allowed a bug previously which allowed people to get a 7* character and materials to upgrade one of their characters to g9. However, with their new mistake that’s broken the rewards for raids, anyone who exploited this now being ‘temporarily banned’, which is massively messed up with them allowing the exploit of a previous bug and not this one. TOS only applies to one exploit of a bug and not another? Make it make sense.AdsToInfinityVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Frozen in menu.The game freezes during a tutorial that can’t be skipped. Completely unable to play even after deleting and reinstalling the game. Was really enjoying it up until that point..BeelindaWhite83Version: 1.4.0

✓ Great IP but poor mechanicsReally wanted to enjoy this game. No intro low price packs, like the usual starter $1.99 etc. nope minimum is $30. The battles are lackluster with only melee or bow attacks, where is the magic heroes? There is no hero gear swap or level regression, so the main game loop is level a hero then wield or craft full new gear sets for max bonus. Gets tiring doing that for each hero at each level. The energy for battles runs out quickly and it’s reset is slow and low. It’s disappointing.YEG66Version: 1.5.3

✓ BrokenStuck on loading screen on 2nd mission. Game is not working.Jackie54FreshVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Needs an update or better options for farmingThe gold block is so exhausting, I’m level 36 and I don’t have a single character leveled up past level 31 (your characters can level as high as your overall level) gold is so scarce you can maybe get 30k in one day with multiple refreshes on all the campaigns. However that much gold can barely get you 3 pieces of gear equipped on your characters, the fact that it costs so much gold just to craft and equip an item on your characters is insane. On top of that the game shoves all these pay to win options down your throat while offering at most maybe 20k gold in the pack you just bought. So it’s like “great I bought this pack with all these resources now I can upgrade, wait I have to pay 50k gold just to gear up my character with all this gear I just spent $50 on?!” Which is predatory at best. If the money packs were actually good and worth buying I would just be slightly annoyed by it being pay to win, but it’s literally just pay to sit and wait for gold to farm tomorrow. Needs a rewards overhaul and some adjusting in terms of gateways to the next level. Other than that it’s slightly annoying that all the fan favorite characters aren’t in the game yet but at the same time they are more “legendary” just in name so it makes sense. Only giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because I’m not completely surprised by anything that has gone wrong in the game..Ziggy zaggy pro 998877Version: 1.5.3

✓ Be prepared to spendThere is obviously a cash flow problem with the game. Glyphs/mods recently were added to the game at the 6month mark. Usually that’s a late year 2 or beginning year 3 addition for other hero collector games. It’s a sign the financials aren’t going as planned. Also, Characters that were new 6 weeks ago are already losing value. they have begun releasing a new character every 3-5 days. A clear cash grab. Of course the resources needed to level characters up before the next one releases are only available for krakens. Plus there are only so many characters in the LOTR or hobbit. You would think they would slow down unless the goal is to burn through the krakens then put the game in maintenance mode. Game play is same as other type games. Graphics are cartoonish. Nothing special. Skip it even if you love the LOTR.StevethemvpVersion: 1.7.1

✓ Insanely Expensive, Slow Gameplay & Just ClickingDecent Graphics. But after a day, you’ll play for only one hour a day, at most, just clicking through the standard quest battles all the while, being offered $100 packages, for an endless array of characters, factions, crystals, etc.. The resources needed to level up and progress are very little, intentionally. ———————————————————————————————————- Just like all the same types of games, you have those spending thousands of dollars to be the shiniest kids on the block and most ordinary players, will have to wait years to level up one team to the maximum, with 25 more teams and years to go. Meantime, you’ll miss out on all the unique, and legendary characters and what you did manage to finally level up, is now obsolete. ——————————————————————————————————- There is no running around and exploring. There is no “controlling” your characters movements. There is no skill involved but just how much you are willing and able to spend to be top dog for a month and then do it again and again, over and over, forever. Ordinary players are simply fodder and entertainment for the P2W players . Good luck!.Silvercgu11Version: 1.5.2

✓ What a wasteI’ve never played a game by an established studio that was made so poorly. The game is optimized so poorly it is laughable. Many times, when a loading screen is supposed to occur, I just get a blank background with nothing on it forcing me to completely close the app. While in the middle of many battles a character animation fails to execute causing the game to completely soft lock. When loading into a character profile the game goes completely black for about 2 seconds before the character screen loads in. The performance issues on top of the lack of meaningful gameplay and a very stingy in-game economy points to the fact that this game came out several months too early..M_Marko92Version: 1.7.1

✓ Good potential, but…Game characters often default to their model stances (arms and legs spread). Mostly goblins. As we reach higher levels, the dailies are nothing more than crumbs. A new bug with last update allows a player to select more auto-attempts than is allowed (Hard limit is up to 5 but is allowing the count to go to 20 accompanying an error message). Also, the chat censoring is a joke. Some character names and conjunctions aren’t usable. I also believe the energy system is miscalculated. Ads would be welcome to watch for some replenished energies to allow for longer playtime. Requiring 5 star elves to get Elrond is pretty cruel. Hardly anyone has leveled their elves because they are weak. Now we need them at 5 stars to get Elrond… Shadow and Light should have separate energy types. It’s a bit too slow of a grind. We want to play… let us play! The primary issue is that fans want to play this game the way they want to with their own preferred characters, but the grind is slow and they are required to level characters they don’t want to level. There needs to be more gaming areas the way Galaxy of Heroes does. I want to spend at least half an hour playing, instead, 5 minutes in and I have to wait hours before I can properly play again..Mihaal87Version: 1.5.5

✓ Don’t PlayThey deleted my first review, which was 2 stars. Now I’ve been stuck on a bit of dialogue from the first day I played and no reply from customer support. Don’t support EA they don’t deserve the downloads.Doddsy88Version: 1.4.1

✓ Pay blockSeems like only way to upgrade and complete more quests you’ll need to put money into the game otherwise it’s a slow slow grind to get anything.AaronmccookieVersion: 1.6.0

✓ So slowI really wanted to like the game but I couldn’t. I don’t have the patience for it… the loading is slow, the change from first wave to second wave takes too long, loading dialogue takes too long, clicking things to move forward takes too long. I also don’t understand the heroes thing… like I couldn’t use certain chars even tho I have summon them already. I stopped at lvl 11.. I really can’t continue. Also, I’ve played a lot of games similar in the sense of gearing up. Like you need to farm them, craft them, after you get a full set, it upgrades as whole. This one is so annoying to farm, it auto sets at farm 20 times, but most of the time you get it within the first two times of auto run. So then it means I have to scroll to set it as auto run once, every time I try farming, and it resets per piece of gear. It’s stupid and slow. After you farm the piece, you have to click the end product to craft, making it extra clicking.. redundant actually. It’s frustrating.AngieAngieZzVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Typical EASo the idea of the game is great. Enjoyable. However, you get to a point where the enemies are overpowered for who you have in your team and in typical EA fashion, they force you into a corner where you have to spend money to unlock characters and upgrade characters. Nothing like screwing over your player base…..Gam3r GuyVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Game isn’t ready for releaseRandom crashes, and loading issues after actions such as claiming daily calendar. Raid content is terrible RNG fest that they acknowledge has issues, but not willing to fix at this time. Implemented web store for purchases that needs to be authenticated via email DAILY. Many aspects of the game do not feel finished..KhyberaVersion: 1.6.4

✓ .Cant advance past leveling frodo. Wont let me select the level up button.Za4DDYVersion: 1.5.6

✓ One of the worstThe game is so slow… click this click that just to start the game and then click click click…. Jesus i want to play not the clicks, another thing when i want auto fight i have to click it every fight 🤷🏻‍♂️ so what’s the point if i have to click it anyway? Please delete this disaster from app store 🤮.AurisaurisVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Very disappointingDidn’t come into this with high expectations given the state of Galaxy of Heroes and the trailer and I’m still disappointed. The graphics are atrocious, especially compared to how good Galaxy of Heroes looks but given it’s a different art concept, you’d be comparing to Marvel Strike Force which again is head and shoulders better than the graphics of this. Constantly getting game errors and being forced to restart the game, slow and laggy menus as well as every week or so being told I don’t have enough space to play the game despite having plenty free are just a handful of issues I have with the game. Animations for battles are cool, especially when characters team up but it’s not groundbreaking given Marvel Strike Force has it. Character collection is fun and easy which is the main reason I play these kind of games and look forward to all the potential additions down the line. To cut it short, they’ve tried to mimic Marvel Strike Force and done a horrific job of it.Polington3220Version: 1.5.5

✓ GlitchesThis game I’m sure, will be as good as SWGOH but right now it has serious glitches. It freezes all the time so you have to re start, meaning you lose loads of stuff all the time. Currently it’s driving me nuts. I’ve already reported once for which I got an apology and some free stuff but I would rather it gets sorted so the game is enjoyable without the constant forced re starts. Very frustrating..Quigon49Version: 1.6.2

✓ Can’t play the gameI was looking forward to this game since I am a huge fan of SWGOH. I was able to finish chapter 1 of the story and now it’s just frozen on the Home Screen and I can’t do anything. I have closed the app and restarted numerous times and even deleted and reinstalled but nothing. Please fix this!!!.SterganatorVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Theme is driving the gameI love that there’s a LOTR game. However, the theme is the only great thing about it. This is a literal remake from Star Wars and marvel strike force. Same concept, same gameplay, same bottle necks and same ridiculously priced offers and it’s only day 2. How is there an offer for $100 already? It’s following the format of already made games. Unless they reinvent the wheel a bit the same whales that took over the other games will drive this one to the ground as well and the player base will be minimized. It needs new game styles, less bottlenecks and for goodness sakes, slow the whales down! No one should be able to be near max level day 2, no one..SeyariaVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Generic p2w gamePretty sad.RootPantsVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Decent Start, needs moreIf you’ve ever played a hero collector game before, you already know exactly how this game works. It’s just beginning, so you have a chance to keep up with everyone for now, but there isn’t exactly much to do either. There’s only so many characters, and not to many of them are recognizable unless you’re deep in the lore. My main gripe is there just isn’t enough content right now. Apparently there’s some sort of legendary event in the works and a raid in development, but aside from that, the only game modes are the arena and the campaign. Not a lot going on right now. Capital Games, if you are reading these reviews for whatever reason, you’ve got to get some content out there; don’t hoard all of your characters for legendary events, you’ve got to start dropping them as soon as you can, because in another 2 weeks, the game is going to get very boring, very quickly..ShadeOfSilentFireVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Game keeps freezingGame keeps freezing when I try to upgrade Frodos ring during the tutorial..Brazil-0Version: 1.5.2

✓ They found a way to ruin Middle EarthCapital Games have released a sub-par game with trash graphics and insanely overpriced packs into the market, just feasting on that great Middle Earth fan anticipation. The game has more bugs than a festering swamp and no real fun gameplay. It’s more disappointing than waking up each morning and realising that a mindless moron like Trump actually does exist..Jay_manfromozVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Get hard kicked into random missionsI can’t progress the game seems to hard lock on random missions and if I try to abort nothing happens I’m forced to close the app 😩 all I can do is the same missions over and over.Flip-YapVersion: 1.6.2

✓ MissedPotentialThis game, like SWGOH, has so much potential. I mean come on, who could screw up Star Wars or Tolkien lore? Enter Capital Games. Other than Activision, I can’t think of a company that hates/neglects/abuses its player base more. I will focus just on this game now. First and foremost, the game crashes nonstop. I have played on a brand new iPad, brand new iPhone 13, and iPhone XR. Same crashes. No difference across devices. There is nothing like losing arena tickets because of a game crash (and I am in gold ranking so I do care about my tickets). How about getting almost through a grueling raid just for the game to crash and have to start over? Speaking of raids, that’s essentially the only game content. Arena and a single boring raid. Want to make your characters better? Better plan on buying lots of gold with real money because they don’t give crap for gold in game. Oh yeah, you guessed it, gold is the driving force behind all upgrades in the game. I never thought I would say this about Lord of the Rings, but pass over this one until they do a complete overhaul (never gonna happen)..Darth ReyienVersion: 1.7.0

✓ Star Wars GOH clone but with LOTR charactersUPDATE: game improves over time but stamina is still a big issue and will force you Into choosing farming for shard or gear. Raids are ok but very rng as to scoring your run but you can retry unlimited times until you’re happy with the score you achieve. If you’re only just starting this game there is no catchup mechanic like other games so you buckle up and choose 10 heroes (5 light & 5 shadow) to focus on to begin with then spread out once you’ve got as far as you can with those. TL;dr don’t bother playing the game as it’s dead.. This is a carbon copy of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes except it’s with the LOTR license, that means it has the same issues that SWGOH has, namely an awful stamina system. In 1 sitting if you’re farming shards on hard mode campaign you’ll get through 5 before your stamina runs out and then you’re either waiting for it to refill or you can buy more using gems. Yes as you get higher levels the amount of stamina increases but honestly you can’t do much if you’re farming shards and as you get next to none gems there’s little point spending them on stamina refills. They are clearly out to get your money as every opportunity they force paid packs down your throats and they are disgustingly priced!.Airborne_77Version: 1.7.0

✓ Keeps freezing/crashingI’ve been playing this game for probably six months now and the freezing and crashing issues I’ve been having have still not been fixed. I have to play this on my old iPhone 8 because it is impossible to play it on my iPhone 13. I still have crashing issues on my iPhone 8 regularly (multiple times a day) and the app just completely freezes up after a while on my iPhone 13 to the point I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Support has been zero help and just tells me it’s a known issue. Well great. I enjoy the game, but losing power so often and having battles just end or freeze isn’t going to keep me playing for much longer..Harpy9Version: 1.7.1

✓ Major issuesI was enjoying the game but it keeps freezing. I’m currently stuck in the tutorial as it keeps freezing at the same point and keeps returning to the same part every time I re-open the game. Disappointing.Frellnick 898Version: 1.4.1

✓ Too buggy at the momentFun for 5 minutes, then it got stuck on the tutorial asking me to level up a character that I had already levelled - no way to progress past this. Should either fix this or not allow you to level up until this point in the tutorial..Leman StottlemeyerVersion: 1.5.7

✓ MehGame is only partially finished, content is slow coming, graphics are meh, game freezes and crashes constantly, little to no support, they seem very content with their partially fledged out product especially considering what they’re trying to get people to pay to play there broken game. FIX YOUR GAME!.Make it not crash all the timeVersion: 1.6.4

✓ Good But Can ImproveFun game. I am a huge LOTR fan and this game is perfect for someone like me. I don’t mind the main fellowship characters not being in the game yet, as I’m sure they’ll eventually make their way into the roster. The one thing that I think needs serious revision is that GOLD is such a scarce material to obtain yet you need it to upgrade everything. Either make it cost less to equip higher level gear or remove the cost to equip gear entirely as you already are spending all of your time and energy on acquiring the gear in the first place. I’m guessing another place to acquire lots of gold will be in the raids but without having that area yet, Im always stuck on almost zero gold after one upgrade. It is a good game but definitely new. I hope the devs will look how the game operates and see how hard it is to even keep your heroes leveled up and geared up with such a lack of gold at this point in the game..Polish45Version: 1.5.4

✓ Crash Crash CRASHHHThis game crashes CONSTANTLY! Absolutely sick of seeing the pop up asking me to restart the game. I’ve tried the contact button to refer the issues but ended up in some confusion of incredibly unhelpful reporting maze and did not know how to send the feedback correctly. Rubbish. The micro transaction element is embarrassing. Disappointed.DirtyponyVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Can’t playFinished chapter one and now wants to upgrade Frodo but there’s a bug in the game that doesn’t allow you to progress. Deleted the game and reinstalled it but didn’t fix the issue.Ritchie44Version: 1.4.0

✓ Good startI’m trying to do a shadow mission and every time it freezes. When I try to forfeit the match it doesn’t go any further and I have to force close the game. Really frustrating as it’s costing me energy to keep trying..TN-7567Version: 1.5.5

✓ Soft release was so much betterEverything was going fine and it was a great game untill you removed the auto win feature on passed 3 star levels. Now it’s just tedious and takes way to long and in my opinion has ruined the fun and enjoyment of the game. Also no matter how many matches you play you cannot acquire crafting materials. It’s a shame really because the soft version of this game was great but since official full release it has gone severely downhill (besides the graphics)..Retribution117Version: 1.5.0

✓ Disappointing2 hours into the game I thought the game has some merits, unfortunately then I come across the glitches and constant freezes. Currently stuck on tutorial to complete a ring for Froddo. Restart the game, nothing, uninstall and install the game again, still nothing still stuck on tutorial, unable to click or move on anywhere else. Stupid me spent $4.50 thinking the game has some promises. Lesson learnt. At the end I delete the game entirely and move on. Agreed with previous reviewer, the game is half baked and then released, black lines on graphic etc, concentrate on perfecting game first if you want to retain player. Well you lost one.DbkerenVersion: 1.5.0

✓ TalionAdd talion.IsecubbVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Really DisappointingI really looked forward to playing this game as this style of game has been crying out for a Lord of the Rings theme. However, it has become apparent that it’s all about spending money to be successful, progress is extremely slow and tiring. This is made more irritating but just using overpowered characters who are impossible to defeat, rather than building logical teams. Needs serious work to make enjoyable..Jimmy HeggsterVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Shocking graphics and typical of EA P2PFor a game only just released, the pay to play aspect is absolutely shocking, genuinely gutted that EA have the only really Lord of the Rings games out that at the moment. Being a Galaxy of Heroes player I can look past the money side of the game as I usually play F2P anyway. But being a massive LotR fan since I was a kid, the graphics are something I really can’t look past. On par with old school RuneScape at best. If the art was realistic and good I’d most likely play this game constantly going forward but the sheer lack of effort from CG is so sad. Honestly, disappointed is such an understatement. As for game play, I wasn’t totally disappointed but it doesn’t make up for all the other downsides. Put some effort into your art and F2P accessibility and I’d recommend this game to everyone I know..CptJJP7Version: 1.5.2

✓ A bit much, isn’t it?In a game like this, a long grind is to be expected. But it’s absurd how many artificial bottlenecks are forced onto you to halt your progression. Having “hard mode” missions limited to 5 attempts a day when they’re the only reliable way to get certain character shards and luminous/dark crystals (used for gear leveling) is ridiculous, because the grind for those missions is already locked behind a prohibitively expensive energy cost. The further limitation of the 5 attempt cap per day is painful. All in an effort to funnel players into deceptive, chance-based, predatory purchasing options. The LOTR IP deserves better, honestly. That all said, I still play because I like the characters and book quotes in the adventure mode chapters, even if I hate myself a bit for playing..Petorian360Version: 1.6.2

✓ Ugly, broken and boringI’ll start by saying I love the genre and the IP. This is the worst hero collector on the market. Instead of improving on this devs current game SWGOH, they’ve taken a massive leap backwards as if they were doing this for the first time. Old engine, with 1990’s graphics. It runs slow, crashes constantly, is buggy when it does run, has little to no content and doesn’t give you the resources to actually play with more than a single light and dark team. The story lines are an insult to Tolkien. You’ll see lots of people say it has potential, what they are really saying is that CG/EA have done a horrible job and fallen very short of expectations. 10 months in betta made all of these issues clear to them and they made no changes. Clearly they can’t do any better. I’m done with CG and EA!.WolfbanneVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Game FreezingEnjoyable enough game if your lucky enough to actually play it! Game repeatedly freezes, and now for me, every time I open the app it is automatically frozen and is now completely unplayable! 1 star from me as from what I could experience of the game play, it doesn’t seem a bad game. But the game needs review and these freezing issues need remedied ASAP!.JamesCazVersion: 1.4.1

✓ SoullessWhat have they done to the lore?.SpruceMoose42Version: 1.5.2

✓ App reset my gameWas somewhat enjoying the game, and the app deleted my save file and reset me about a week into playing the game. It remembered my account name through the reset. Overall a somewhat enjoyable game, but slow progress and P2W seems essential or you hid a roadblock very quickly..HagajaVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Needs improvementI am giving it three stars because it is new. Everyone talks about the gold barrier and it is true. You basically can’t progress after 3 to 4 days of playing. It does make it pretty quick to do daily updates but it is just a wait and grind more gold. Gold needs to be easier to get. The grind should be something else like the gotcha feature. They made it easy to get character shards in game if you want to grind out certain characters that are available as you progress. Mostly unknown or little known characters. I really like the racial synergy that allows you to build same race teams that make your team stronger. Great concept. They help each other in each battle if you have more racial synergy points. It is a expensive pay to win type gotcha. On par with similar costs to Raid shadow legends. There are lower cost ones out there. The story line is actually pretty bad and really doesn’t track well. Plus it seems poorly thought out and it only partially fits the books. I like that you can play shadow or light timelines. Too bad they didn’t do that in Lotro online. Overall a three star for some good game mechanics and being able to grind fast and not have long grinds. Poor storyline and gold barrier seem to be a real issue..Mtblue44Version: 1.5.6

✓ Stay awayBelow average game with extortionate in app purchase prices and no chance of getting anywhere without spending money.. next.BrokeasabumVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Not much funNot much fun, you’d think the first 2-5 hours would be fun, with loot and exploring the game systems. But no, slow and a bit boring, very little loot and a lot of adverts asking me to spend way to much money on slow unexciting game. And one last thing…Why is Aragorn fighting Arwen?.BopSTAR112Version: 1.4.1

✓ Can’t loginThe game would be fun if you could login stay connected for more than 25 minutes and have a hard time doing anything in it it’s almost impossible to dailies in the game. How can you get away with doing this having such a bad game?.MrdthegreatmikeVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Fun but Needs WorkI am enjoying the game. I play Capital Games’s Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and enjoy that one much more. This game is similar but not nearly as polished as SWGOH. Levels freeze up halfway through, requiring a full app restart (and don’t get your energy back spent on playing the level), game sometimes just doesn’t load correctly. Also, for some reason this app overrides your audio on your phone. For if you’re listening to music and you turn on this app, this app’s audio overrides the audio of your music, so you can’t do both at the same time, which is really dumb in my opinion. Also, SWGOH does not do that, so not sure why a game from the same devs don’t have similar features like that? Overall, entertaining, but not nearly as clean and functional as some other games in the same genre. Willing to stick it out for a bit but we’ll see..RPD23Version: 1.6.2

✓ Full of glitchesConstantly freezes, bugs out on levels so you have to restart and lose energy, which quickly goes and gives little reason to come back and continue playing.Spider-ChrisVersion: 1.6.0

✓ LOTR theme great but lackluster gameI love LOTR and I was excited about this game, but it's been pretty disappointing this far. Graphics are a step down being 2023, even if you're reaching younger audiences it's kinda bad. Animation is cool and a step forward though. Also, why are game packages incredibly expensive!! I don't plan on using my money to buy small amounts of game material for this game, just let us enjoy and build our rosters by new game freebies and those that wasn't too buy materials can. It seems like a greedy money grab and a close copycat to other games out there. Get the graphics right and make it an enjoyable experience that the Tolkien novels are and anything linked to them are supposed to be!.TDEllis67Version: 1.5.2

✓ Greedier than Smaug! (and more deceptive)Every thing decent is hidden behind a paywall, and not a little wall - We’re talking the cost of a AAA title for each of the really decent characters. I have never seen a game so thirsty for your cash that gives so little in return. Combat is basically the same no matter whether your are pvp, challenges or pve. There are bugs galore! And some of the most deceptive cash shop items I have seen. Want to get Gimli to 4 stars … that’s about 11,000 gems or close to $150 AUD. Don’t be tempted..DillonBriceVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Genetic Pay to winAnother generic pay to win game. This time with a coat of lord of the rings paint..Ghost RidáVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Let down by an unnecessarily revisionist plotHeroes of Middle Earth is a fun collecting game in the model of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Its fight animations are good - although the character art is a touch weak. It’s early days so still a few bugs (eg if you click on an item for which you don’t have enough currency, in many cases there’s only an option to buy more currency rather than a cancel or go back option. However these kind of early bugs are forgiveable. What I struggle to absolve though is the unnecessary plotting around powerful Elf women being mentally manipulated by a sinister dark force - necessitating rescue by the boys. What’s happening here? Tolkien was pretty good at writing stories. If you are going to rewrite them, I think you need to bring something decent to the table - not some adolescent borderline incel storyline. I like the game enough to see if it improves but as of yet, I’m not seeing much in the way of a decent campaign narrative..Weekend JediVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Not fun, Very expensiveIt’s vaguely Lord of the Rings built into a predatory monetization model. Spending money progresses you further, but there is always another paywall. Content is just an enemy with larger stats until you buy your way past it. Free play is time gated so you can only progress a very small amount for free..BKRaymondVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Game extremely buggy and doesn’t workWas playing the tutorial for 3 minutes and then an error message appeared when they tried to show me Frodo. Game doesn’t work..-Shmack-Version: 1.4.1

✓ BugSi vous leveller Frodon avant d’avoir complété la quête, vous serez coincé éternellement sans pouvoir continuer à jouer 😐.MarilouInPinkVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Typical CGWhere to start!!!!! Game constantly crashing, pathetic graphics that look 15 years old at launch, and ridiculously overpriced bundles in the store for a game with more than just the above issues. I was hoping they’d learnt from the feedback regarding SWGOH but clearly not. I’ll keep playing with the slightest hope they address these serious issues but will not be spending a cent on the game and would advise others to do the same!.R-IVVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Shocking customer serviceFoolishly decided to buy an in-app purchase. The game crashed the moment the payment went through, charging me in full. Guess what, didn’t even receive the item. Have spent days going back and forth with the idiots in ‘Customer service’ who don’t have a brain cell or ounce of empathy between them to try and get them to send me what I bought to the in game inbox. Nothing. They’ve just charged me and given me nothing..TooladVersion: 1.7.1

✓ Terrible!!! Run from this game!!!Many players are angry on this game and complaining!!! The drop rate is way too low. Example: you can spend 130 energy and get no item as reward. You can use gems to refill energy but even so, the drop rate is still too LOW. Events are way to hard for free player, I mean, you need to spend gems if you want to be able to complet it. If the app. close during a battle or if it never finish, you lose your energy, no refund, you have to redo again. It is specially FRUSTRATING when you are about to finish a battle and get 3 stars, all ennemies beaten but you CAN’T get the reward because it never end. So you have to quit the app and redo again. I remember this problem happening 6 times in 20 minutes. Lately, since the new event to get Gandalf, it became worse. Not even in a fight, the game show the ring flashing but nothing happen. On my 40 years game player tester, this game is probably the worse I play, if I can say, play. Shame to see this king of mess in 2023. Happily, I didn’t spend any cash on this scrap..SyverStarVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Money LeechThis game is designed to take your money pure and simple. The gambling aspect gives terrible odds again so you spend money. Most events if you where to spend money would cost over £100 minimum going up to over £400. Current raid event is a prime example that game is geared for you to spend money to have any chance. It could have been fun but for the greed displayed..RedmoleVersion: 1.6.2

✓ Needs major improvementsI was greatly looking forward to this game as I love Lord of The Rings and I’ve played similar hero collecting games but this one is a major disappointment to start out. The gold economy in the game is way out of balance with everything costing way too much gold than can be farmed in a day. Once you get heroes to gear 4-5 range you are simply not able to invest any resources into them any further because of the lack of gold. I was greatly looking forward to Elrond joining the game but by requiring elves at 5 stars he will be impossible to get by the vast majority of players during his launch. Overall the game is lacking in content, the art style is holding the game back graphically, and the economy of the game is extremely unbalanced. Hopefully CG will see feedback on the lack of gold in the game and start making fixes or the player pool will dry up fast..J17tVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Good, but glitchy.I want to rate this higher, as it is a great game, but unfortunately I’ve had the game crash on me too many times to be able to do so. The gameplay itself is fun, and I like the art/design elements of it. It really is a nice looking game that’s had some thought out into it. As mentioned, my biggest gripe is that you can be in the middle of gameplay, using limited resources such as apples (gardeners journey) or energy etc.., pass wave 1 or 2 and then the game crashes. Not only do you have to start that level again, but you have lost your resources and not received anything in return, as you didn’t get to finish the level. From that point of view it’s not great. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy to spend gems when I need to (to get more resources) but I don’t think it should be as a result of regular crashing. I have looked at storage on device, internet issues etc…but it seems to be the game as I don’t have this with other games..IananimatedVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Difficult to progress without spending real moneyThe gold issue needs to be addressed ASAP. I know the devs are highly aware of the difficulty for players to accumulate gold, and I hope they’re actively working on it, because it’s getting to the point where the game is unplayable. I’ve spent $300 on in-game stuff because I believed in the game and the devs, but I can’t afford to continue to spend more. Aside from the gold problem, there are some other issues that need to be tweaked, like why can’t I view my arena defenses? An even bigger issue is “The Gardener’s Journey.” One you complete tier 1 and unlock Sam Gamgee, you need to have 4 Road to Rivendell characters at 4 stars, which is near impossible to achieve if you don’t spend actual money. And you’re still accruing “Sam campaign energy” that you can’t do anything about. And Arwen, how am I supposed to get her to 5 stars if I can’t get her shards anywhere BUT the marquee? (Correction, you can spend lots real money to open her special marquee chests at the chance of getting shards) Please fix the problems. There are some other bugs, but they don’t make the game unplayable..MusiqMysfitVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Lazy and greedyThis is a reskin of the same engine Captial/EA use for Starwars: Galaxy of Heroes. What a waste of great fantasy property on game play is 5+ years out of date..Greg EversVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Very badVery bad game, normal coming from EA. The game was just created to farm money from people..RaaizakiVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Freezes at Frodo upgradeLike other similar reviews the game is frozen at the Frodo upgrade and can’t proceed further in the tutorial. Don’t bother trying to log a support ticket as the process for this is equally broken. Will wait a couple of releases to see if things get sorted, till then it’s app -> delete..DerwsvcxVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Sooo many glitchesThis is absolute heartbreaking, the game is amazing, entertaining, easy to follow and interesting, but it breaks down several times a day making you loose your progress and crashing mid battle causing you to loose any token (or hardwon apple) you may have used to enter the challenge… will this be fixed soon?.Caperucita1289Version: 1.5.7

✓ A startLook this isn’t the greatest game but I think it might have some potential here and I’m willing to give it a chance if they work on updates and look into the reviews.Filthy_EDENVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Pay to Play, Not Worth the TimeThe game itself is quite good and gets addictive - which is where the negatives lie. Playing the game costs in-game currency called ‘energy’. In order to play this game consistently, you need to pay to unlock more energy, meaning either you pay or you wait up to an hour to play one round! There are other modes which require different forms of energy, but these are limited and you get stuck pretty quickly. Either you grind or you buy chests. I guess you can expect nothing less from an EA Game..PemlosaVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Has potential.This game is not too bad considering it’s only just starting. Capital Games in charge gives me hope for quick fixes and game improvements since they’re a long-time successful developer. The biggest issue for me at the moment is how difficult it is to progress in the early stages. I understand it’s a “marathon” type of game but the early stages should be reasonably quick and engaging to stop new players from becoming bored before they’re fully invested in progressing through. Character shard collection is pretty good. The problem is the gold cost to upgrade characters stars and abilities is ridiculously high compared to gold income. It’s made the game stagnant and a bit boring right at the beginning. Definitely need some balancing there. That being said though, this game has great potential and I’m really excited to see where it goes from here.The Doctor1994Version: 1.5.0

✓ Great game, lots of crashes at the momentAs titled, enjoying the game but will have multiple crashes throughout. Kind of puts you off, I’m sure it’ll improve but for now it inhibiting..Mw-597Version: 1.5.7

✓ Progression problemJust ran into a soft lock issue. Upgraded characters faster than the tutorial, then finally came to a point where I cannot do anything. It’s a shame that this has happened cause I like playing SWGOH and love lord of the rings. Really disappointed..Tapdancer3Version: 1.4.0

✓ Constantly crashes!Started off as a brilliant game but now the time invested in it is a waste as it constantly crashes! Just updated thinking that they must have fixed the bugs but no. First battle and it crashes again..DRhysPVersion: 1.6.3

✓ All grind and no fun makes Heroes of Middle Earth a dull gameThe game isn't ready. Full of bugs. Economy is terrible and not well thought out. You grind and grind for no real progress. Gold is hard to earn and ability and level upgrades cost too much. Things need to cost less or gold needs to be more available. And if you spend real money, you get little value. Combat animation is pretty good, but mechanics are boring. Something is needed to allow for more variation between teams, like mods in SWGOH. Also, unlike other hero collecting games, I don't have any attachment to any of these toons. They might as well be from any fictional world. Part of the joy and what feeds the addiction is collecting toons we know and love. Sure there's the hobbits, and Aragorn, and others, but they just vaguely resemble what we've seen in the movies. They probably couldn't get the rights to likenesses of the actors /actresses but making the toons look more like what we've all seen would help. Been playing since Day 1, but I'm done. It's just not worth the time and effort..WolfywolfywolfyVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Needs a big patch to fix a lackluster gameHate to write a bad review but it needs to be said. Cons: FORGETTABLE STORY (The Lord of the Rings is known for its unforgettable story yet this game takes it and throws it in the trash), Low-res graphics reminiscent of ps2 era (hope you like some aliasing), gameplay appears to be inspired by the much older Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (which was inspired by the movies and FFX and WAS good) but is somehow nowhere near as good, hardly any status effects that really take advantage of said combat system (sad considering how good The Third Age was at this), all of the healer characters are conveniently difficult to unlock via f2p so they want you to pay $50 to unlock a healer, poor menu navigation, clunky system for upgrading levels for heroes (you have to do it individually each time), no exploration whatsoever. It feels cheap and unfinished yet they still ask for your $$. Pros: good music (kudos to them), colorful graphics, familiar characters. Makes you feel nostalgic for the old EA Lord of the Rings games (all of which were better than this) when playing it. Conclusion: don’t spend a dime on this. There’s another Lord of the Rings game currently in the app store that’s of much better quality. This one needs some serious work/attention..Super FlyswatterVersion: 1.5.2

✓ SlowToo much loading and waiting makes it unplayable. Don’t play this game.Troy.T.WVersion: 1.7.1

✓ LagI can’t even play. Lot of lag..SliykjokerzVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Fun Hero Collector GameA fun game, in battle graphics are good. The tavern animated main menu is poor. Roster art is ok, I like Tolkien’s original idea of how the characters should look. Gear farming is always slow in hero collector games but a nice touch is you start from the bottom of the gear tree in a hero’s gear slot, craft that gear piece then make your way up to the next piece of gear required. Overall not a bad game but needs development..SjhuntVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Unplayable and a nightmare to submit a support request on the websiteEarendil screen with quote:" Ring-bearer, I have something new to show you." Screen freezes, will not react to anything. Closing game and reinstalling it have not made any change to the bug. opening the game brings me straight back to this screen..SmakforoVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Unplayable stillDownloaded the game about a month ago, played the first part of the tutorial and did enjoy it. But when the game has gotten me to add on a ring for Frodo the game stops working and doesn’t allow me to continue. When the update came out the other day I figured they would have fixed a lot of these bugs but my avail it was not fixed and I’m still stuff in the same exact spot I’ve been in. Deleting and re downloading the game doesn't fix the problem either. I have also tried reaching out to the EA support team for me to explain the problem I had but in the last few weeks I have not heard anything from them at all. Terrible game and terrible support.SpooffyGoochVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Good fun but horribly broken graphicsI’ve been enjoying this so far, other than the graphics are totally broken. I think it mainly happens when it tries to use advanced textures, all I get are black blocks that obscure anything else on the screen. A lot of the time I can’t see health bars or even buttons as they are hidden beneath these black blocks..ENJayBeVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Connection badIts a fun game but so often i try open it and it says i have a network issue but its the only app having an issue on my phone.Mickey gestapoVersion: 1.5.3

✓ ConnectionGame keeps crashing everytime I login making it impossible to play.Z4DDY!Version: 1.5.3

✓ Freezes like crazyI want to play but I can’t even get passed the tutorial. It keeps freezing every time I open the app. Tried deleting it and logging out of game centre but nothing worked. Don’t recommend.JJJ2620Version: 1.6.0

✓ BORED TO DEATH!!!I was very excited when I saw the ad for this game as I have been a life long fan of middle-earth. I eagerly downloaded right away. I LOVE THE STORY. But this is very disappointing. After playing for well over 90 minutes or so, I realized that there is no story here, just beating up bad guys. Summary Poorly written, nominal graphics, BOREING.WrasleyVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Why?!How does ea get anything to do with lotr??? Absolutely no innovation. Just predatory should be illegal practices. Micro transactions or as any sane person would see is grooming for kids. Get peoples gambling tendencies going and nurture them. It’s a grind game with pay wall central. Shame on ea and any dev that pulls this garbage. But I guess I can expect nothing less until our good Lord Jesus comes back and fixes everything! Romans 10:9!!!.JsklareVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Decent game held-back by overly pushy monetizationThe overall gameplay loop is very similar to other hero-builder games but the LoTR branding is refreshing. Grinding resources seems tuned considerably too far in the greed/grind direction. A few days into the game and you will hit a point where you just can’t get enough resources to make meaningful changes without spending money. The worst offense is that you can’t go through a single screen transition in the game without it blasting you with offers. It doesn’t entice me to make the purchase, it makes me not want to play when I need to close an ad every 30 seconds of navigating the app. These could be fixed and it could be a fun game, but not really worth the time or annoyance as is, the gameplay just isn’t good enough to justify the grind..RtsboyVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Full of bugsGreat game but absolutely full of bugs, every new release brings new bugs which don’t seem to get fixed. The money needed to upgrade units etc is totally far fetched. You go from needing 900 to 80,000 !!!!.Digger921119Version: 1.6.0

✓ Fun but buggyFun game, but very buggy - frequent crashes, lockups, and swapped/missing icons..Fehwalker2000Version: 1.5.7

✓ Glitchiest game everStill can’t read PMs, only guild and world chat, and now there are more problems than there were the first couple days. Game often says it needs to reset when trying to do story or arena, and when you click restart it doesn’t fix the issue. Also when it does work, characters show up sometimes as green squares lol Also the prices for packs etc are insane for an unfinished game..MariableVersion: 1.5.6

✓ App keeps crashingGameplay is as expected. Last 2 days the app keeps crashing.. unplayable.Blackfish74Version: 1.5.7

✓ Yet another disappointing LotR game.Unpolished/worse version of many similar games with the LotR name slapped on it. Graphics style looks good and possibly more book than film themed but the quality is awful for 2023, looks like a game on the lowest quality setting. Doesn’t seem to bring anything new to the table compared to many other games in this space. I gave it 2* instead of 1 purely because these type of games can be good. But I honestly couldn’t recommend this over the already successful games which even on release had more depth to them and looked better than this one does..Daiiad999Version: 1.5.2

✓ Slow slow slow dull dull dullWell I’m a fan of this game type and tend to play them all… this one is a poor example… it grinds slowly at every step.. heavy on text storyline development (in a storyline which is utterly dull), and very light on battle challenge or interest. If it moved through it’s stages smoothly like every other game in the genre it would be tolerable maybe, but still dull as hell. As it is … no, no, no… it’s being deleted..StannovingianVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Don’t bother…Not enough testing. Lot of complaints about freezes. Mine freezes at the same point every time I open the game. Have now given up. Was looking like an ok game, just programmed by amateurs..FCHolden59Version: 1.4.1

✓ Not finished but has potentialSo after your first day you are basically done the game, really needs content updates. Graphics are bad, i get the style but the execution is sub par, the good news is it has potential in time, until then i will lvl my teams and see what they do with our cash.10 brocoVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Newest update wiped everythingGood game, got to level 30 something and the newest software update (26 april) has wipe everything and now I have to start again, which I won’t be doing..MilesrobertsVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Desperately needs an ‘Auto Fight’ optionVery slow gameplay. Needs an option for auto fighting when doing new battles, otherwise it gets very tedious and repetitive..Maca_MooVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Bugs still aboundThought the world wide release would help remove most game stopping bugs. But they’re still there. Either freezing after opening chests, or not being able to progress at all, due to a tutorial for frodos gear that is already equipped being un skippable and therefor making the game no longer playable..JaffaDHVersion: 1.5.0

✓ More bugs than contentOnce you get past the opening content, there’s almost nothing to do in the game. You can confidently finish the dailies with one hand in the time it takes to brush your teeth with the other (I have literally done this). The bugs, however, are plentiful. I play on an iphone 12 and encounter a game-crashing bug almost every single day. I stopped to write this review because my game has crashed for the third time in a row attempting the same battle. This battle has existed since the game’s launch. Also, the monetization is easily the worst out of any mobile game I’ve ever played and the playerbase is about 10k people, so those overpriced purchases likely will mean nothing at all when EA drops this game in a few months.This app is God...Version: 1.6.0

✓ Such potential but still needs workHuge fan of hero collectors and LOTR in general. I’ve been playing similar games for years and I can see how this game is going to continue improving and becoming even better. Happy to be a part of the road since the beginning. App continues to have issues, even this far from launch. Goes “non-responsive” in menú very often, needing to be closed and re-opened for it to work again..Maurlc3Version: 1.6.5

✓ Feedback and ImprovementsAs a fan of many franchises, I’ve tended to look forward in seeing new things made for that said franchise. However, when diving into this game. I found many things. Firstly, when seeing the creators of this game (EA) I instantly knew that two things if not both would happen! - A massive amount of pay to play and or win products. - Ruining well-known things and or downgrading a clone of another game (PvZ BFN and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes). When stepping foot into this game, I found some game stopping bugs along the way! Also that this was the same as previously listed, Star Wars: GOH. Just with a new face of a different franchise! - Add more known characters - Don’t just make characters for the sake of it - Hard to progress in, slow at the start and middle - Massive Bugs - Down grade, barely any good looking levels The best way I think that EA could learn is by looking at Looney Tunes World of Mayhem. Scopley use to do the same as EA, hard to progress had to pay large fees to get better! However they changed making it easy to get characters and progress but yet making the high level things hard. I bet if this game gets some inspiration from Scopley, then this would be a really good game! Even if you sold it to Scopley the would make it 10x better then it would ever be in 5 years from now!!!.Rovio Fix PleaseVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Still in beta, needs a lot of workThis game is a clone of Star Wars/Marvel strike force game in LoTR universe. But dont get fooled by EA logo, this game is bad and needs a lot of work to be decent. Graphic is poor, even for a mobile game. Low rez textures, background of your fights is plain and boring. UI and layout of icons is unintuitive, and simply bad. Everything feels rushed and unfinished. Gameplay is decent, but not good. Summoning heroes is extremally expensive. In 2 hours, i managed to get enough currency for ONE summon. Leveling up feels really slow, even early on. There are a lot unnesesary loading screens, even in between stages. I dont mind copying other games, but if u copy, do it with all good qol parts. This game is lacking almost all of them. 3/5 Maybe in a few months will be good enough to try again..Alcest29Version: 1.5.2

✓ Not a fanBoring, lazily made, slow, buggy and a waste of time and effort.JB12747592Version: 1.5.7

✓ This game is not worth your timeThis game has crashed more times already than any game on any device/console I’ve ever owned and I’ve been gaming for 2 decades. This game has set off with all the staleness of a card collector game that’s been about for 10 years and by god does it already have the ridiculous offers to match because literally days in you will already meet bottlenecks at every turn. All this while offering no new innovation in terms of game modes than other card collectors and quite honestly has cashed out on the franchise and couldn’t even be bothered to make the graphics worth it either……this game would need a huge revamp already to peak my interest and after being a huge lotr fan I am already skipping days of playing and can’t be bothered to finish all the daily objectives.Bubbalips92Version: 1.5.3

✓ The usualDrek with a lotr skin.SGG8Version: 1.6.3

✓ Buggy and UglyThis review is staying 1 star until I am refunded. I hate games that lag and crash when you make purchases. I bought the 400 gem pack you can earn by playing and ofc it stops working and I lost my currency but no purchase rewards. Then any support help feels super delayed and convoluted. This is one of those moments that make me want to quit the game..ShalafaxVersion: 1.5.7

✓ Bored of the ringsBored of the rings was a funny book. Nothing funny about this! Painfully slow to get anywhere. Yes, you can level up your characters, but the amount of micro managing is way over the top. There are bugs in this area too. Bugs are rife, one of the worst is the app crashing. There is no pleasure in this when close battles can take a long time. On the whole the balance is tilting heavily towards pain, not gain. The Maybe I’m just too old for this?! I ‘m really trying to find a good game to play, but no luck so far!.Phil ShulkindVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Nothing good to say!The graphics are poor, childish and slow. Booster packs cost $$$$ way to much. Encountered minor bugs in the first 5 minutes of play..LegoHead1111Version: 1.5.3

✓ Cash grabI am such a huge LOTRs fan and enjoyed the gameplay at first but then I realized how messed up this game’s set up is. Every pack that is offered to you is minimum 20 dollars. The chest that drop every 4 to 6 hours only give you 1 shard a piece. Characters can be built up to 10 stars and even if you buy those 20 dollar packs, you are lucky to even get them a few basic characters to 3 stars. I played around 6 to 8 hours over a two day period and had 9 characters. The grind is crazy but hey, if you are cool with spending extended amounts of time on a game like this, then go for it. I don’t normally write negative reviews like this but I am giving a two star solely because I love LOTR.ServantofalllVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Game freezingGames freezing at the same forced tutorial screen, can’t do anything with it and I’ve tried many many times. Relaunching/ reinstalling the game brings me to the exact same screen. Seems like everyone’s having the same problem I’m shocked it’s not being addressed..DonnybrokidVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Just another LOTR cash grabTl;dr: Yet another pay-to-win, low effort game designed to squeeze additional profit by riding the LOTR name. I didn’t have high expectations, but I still came out disappointed. I won’t judge the art style, but I think it could have been done better. The game has several game breaking bugs. You’ll be happy to hear the micro transactions, of course, function just fine. The dialogue of this game is a joke. There are so many redundancies, and characters take crazy events in stride. In act one alone, Arwen is leading an army of orcs and Aragorn is just like “Well, that’s weird.” Like that’s it? That’s the extent of him seeing the love of his life trying to kill him, with orcs no less? Even if that’s ignored, the combat is dull. The graphical effects are pretty sub par for a recent game, and the difficulty curve is so steep that it’s obvious you’re being encouraged to spend money pretty quickly so you can progress. Half of the characters advertised aren’t even available in game yet. All of the interesting named evil characters aren’t available. It’s just full of a few named good characters, some low tier evil ones, and then a lot of random made up characters. The game isn’t a good LOTR game, but honestly, even without that title, in 2023, it’s just not a good game. There are better titles in this genre..Meh pantsVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Don’t botherCG, same developers as SWGOH, so if you’ve played the latter, you’ll have a general idea about how this works. Except, while SWGOH is openly predatory in its monetization, it is as at least fun, we’ll balanced for the most part, and rewarding to progress. Heroes of Middle Earth is none of those things. Granted, the game just released so you have very few characters to choose from, but it is already apparent that the design of the balance and character progression is endemic and is something they designed on purpose to get you to spend more money. I’ll give a concrete example of each: - Balance: My arena group is nearing 10,000 power and is all the same category of people and clearly designed with synergy in mind. But they’re so underpowered they regularly get beat by hodge podge enemy teams of 8k power and no synergy. This clearly wasn’t tested even a little bit. - Progression: you will immediately hit a wall in progression by gold. As bad as credits are in SWGOH, HOME is exponentially worse. A single skill level up in a single character can cost an entire days worth of gold earnings, and a single rank up almost a weeks worth. There are virtually no effective ways to gather gold, and your need for it is limitless. This is a shoddy way to treat such an amazing IP and CH should be ashamed of themselves..TiderionVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Gold and experience bottleneck and in game purchases unavailableThis game has so much potential however the gold and experience bottleneck is a major concern. Every update leads to another bug. The game is almost pay to play and I don’t mind spending money here and there to support it however with the last update I am no longer getting offers. I did all the steps that were listed on the website than created a case explaining the issue. They responded by telling me to do the steps listed and we’re gonna cancel the case. I had to reopen the case explaining again I did the steps and want to spend money but am not receiving any offers from the store except for Arwen and Alladan. I thought the company is in the business to make money. I posted on discord and on the twitter page and am not receiving help. I just started to play the new Avatar game which has so much more to do. I’ll spend my money on Avatar or will save it..215villian610Version: 1.5.6

✓ Not worth your timeUnderdeveloped, so many other similar games with more to offer. You’ll never have enough gold to build your characters up. Also the characters are boring, ps1 graphics. Arena mode is broken. Seriously, I was so pumped for this game. Another disappointment from EA..LifeForceAscensionVersion: 1.5.3

✓ BUG - Frodos Ring in TutorialI can’t advance from trying to upgrade frodos ring. The screen returns to frodos character the freezes before being able to go into the slot and no options on the screen can be pressed..Mitchell HazelhurstVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Clone of galaxy of heroesIf you’ve played the Star Wars mobile game by EA and Capital Games then you’ve played this. This is an exact reskin of that game. So what to expect? In the first couple years the game will seem to have promise but will quickly present players with a choice, pay a ridiculous amount of money to win the game or spend all your time on ridiculously bad RNG for things that you can just throw money at. This game is pay 2 win that’s it, sure you could spend a couple dollars here and there, but unless you’re shelling out thousands of dollars into this game you’ll never be able to freely immerse yourself in Middle-Earth. If you are a free player, you’ll be expected to spend all of your time constantly monitoring whatever is going on because the game will penalize players for having a life and not spending money on the game..TacovobVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Terrible deliveryHeroes for Middle Earth was a game I had long anticipated coming out and the release is terrible. I played 6 years of Galaxy of Heroes until I got burnt out by what EA had come up with for daily game involvement and now they have greatly underperformed the exact same game only LOTR version. Overall look of the game was never my concern but the lack of characters reacting to hits and style is glaring and distracting. Gameplay is atrocious! Teams and characters are not designed well at all with turn meter a big problem which we can expect mods to be coming sooner rather than later and that just means more money. It’s been weeks and there has hardly been any new content including raids. The longer we wait the more glaring it becomes EA wasn’t ready to launch this game and is hurting everyone who wants to play this game. Even with changes coming in the near future, I would not waste my time or money on this game..SteveD1223Version: 1.5.7

✓ Buggy as hellGood game but so buggy. My boyfriend has it and his works fine but mine restarts all the time, undownloads itself, graphics disappear replaced by square boxes. Great game let down by this as I can’t be bothered to open it and play when I have to restart it 5 times to get it to work..SceapiainieVersion: 1.5.3

✓ NicknameIn what F$+&ing world is “Whird” a f#$-ing swear word? You dumb F#$&!.WhirdVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Game freezingGood game, lord of the rings is my favourite film of all time but the game keeps freezing and needs to be fixed asap. This mostly keeps happening in guild campaign and sometimes in the gardeners adventure. Please fix the game as I want to collect more heroes and progress. Thank you..SwagwalanVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Not worth itBuggy mess. Constant freezing. Bad RNG. There are plenty of other games just like this, but better in almost every expect. Unless you’re a die hard LOTR fan, don’t waste your time. Even some of them would consider this a waste..AliusoneVersion: 1.6.3

✓ DisappointingVery little content/stuff to do and overpriced packs (minimal stuff for the cost and $100 packs at launch, $20 is cheapest) for a game that just released, cheaper good value packs would get people spending not high priced packs for the bare minimum. The graphics also don’t feel like they are from a game released in 2023 and the overall game barely feels like LOTR, I even found myself skipping the dialogue/story because it just felt boring. Characters also look nothing like the actors and more like some random person with similar hair. I don’t think the game will last too long in its current state, it feels like the devs don’t really care about the game they made..Angel2infinityVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Pay wallI do like the game; I am a big fan of LOTR, played the MMORPG, like this type of game where you grind for character and gear shards (I have been playing SWGOH for a few years), but the pay wall is shocking and it is another example of a company making money from microtransactions. At gier tier 5, you will be hit by the ‘luminous shard’ wall, which is ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind if the gear cap was tier 6 or 7, but you are choked by having to grind, or 💥buy💥, luminous shards to gear up your characters…..I didn’t see this level of constraint in either SWGOH or marvel, but it feels far worse here. Good game if you want an hour game when taking the tube or bus…..absolute irrelevant money sink if you want to progress..Hirst3415Version: 1.5.3

✓ Embarrassment to LoTRIn a pay to win game, the pay wall gap is obvious and expected - but this isn’t a p2w gap, this is a p2w chasm. The app times out and freezes and requires force closing daily. If the game was fun but glitchy that would be ok, or if it lacked content and had a huge p2w gap but ran smooth that’d be ok too. As is, it has no redeeming qualities. If you ask why do I still play then? Well I don’t, just dropping my review on the way out.Shimmy_yaVersion: 1.6.5

✓ Can’t get through tutorialIf you level up your characters before the tutorial shows you, the game gets stuck………. Dev ?? What’s up with that.SawiskeraVersion: 1.5.7

✓ What a letdownGot through the first chapter + a bit. Takes forever to get anything done, even down to equipping items to tier up characters. It’ll be an insanely time consuming grind to get anywhere near focussed on end game and PVP. It’s also set up to be very much pay to win. I was looking forward to this, gave it a try, but ended up deleting it pretty quickly.BaabaasrugbyVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Constantly crashesAmong many other visual glitches, the game will constantly crash. This has been an issue since launch….HaiPopVersion: 1.7.1

✓ Good for a priceThis isn’t a bad game. I have fun with it even as a free to play player. I also understand that the game needs to make money to stay alive, but a lot of the time these paywalls completely restrict most players from experiencing the full game. There was an Elrond event where if you had five elves to five stars (something already time consuming) you were able to get Elrond. When the fifth elf was released to make the team complete, you could not get her to five stars without paying a hefty sum of money or tons of premium currency for a CHANCE at getting this character to the rank she needed to be. That character is available in the shop now for premium currency, so that’s a cool way to kick people while they’re down. Honestly just go play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. You’ll be behind but it just feels better..Mario/Mega manVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Just too much wrongI really tried to persevere with this - it’s carbon copy of Star Wars GOH so the gameplay is solid, progression decent and it’s nice to play a game where the choice of who you collect and level up is yours rather than and endless number of summons. However… The main story is daft, bordering on blasphemous for LOTR fans. It feels glitchy and cheaply made. The arena is poorly balanced (Gnash Ironhide anyone…) and feels too random. The final straw was two arena fights in a row where despite outnumbering my opponent with basically the same characters at same power level, I lost easily as their damage and turn ratio was inexplicably higher. Aargh…..ScarlettaJVersion: 1.6.3

✓ This gameReally tried to play through this game had so many crashes since first day it launched and now it’s just not playable spend longer reloading. I know it’s not a Wi-Fi issue because swgoh never crashes for me, it’s made even worse cos of the amount of shop pop ups which is the only thing that hasn’t crashed for me if you expect anyone to put money in that game atleast get it working. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.Sam125690Version: 1.5.7

✓ WhateverThis game is so bad. Horible graphics, meaningless characters, story, etc… there is so many better games out there at the moment. This game just can’t keep up with the competition. What a flop..OumboumVersion: 1.5.3

✓ Maker of that greedy Star Wars gameI would recommend passing this game. Super greedy company. Also games runs like crap and characters look bad. Also, they probably charge 100 dollars to level up to 85 and unlock a lot of characters like they do in Star Wars game. Also, if you fall behind you probably not enjoy the game a few years from now as this company don’t care about new players anyway like star wars. At least they could do is give more characters or shrink how long it takes for unlocking for players have a chance to have fun. Everything locked behind characters and high pay wall. This game probably be no different in long run. Adding on, it appears they wipe your Game Center clean and you have to start over. What appears to happen to my account. Also makes phone hot and shows no download in back ground. Phone never got hot on this game so they doing something wrong..MagiaDragonVersion: 1.6.0

✓ It’s brokenLove the style of the game but I’m literally unable to progress due to the tutorial it says Frodo is almost at next gear level then I go to the tab for it and the game won’t let me do anything because the tutorial locks me into clicking something I don’t have because I levelled up another character.Awesome poop in pantsVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Game still freezing during missionsEvery so often I’m in a campaign mission or challenge mission, the game will all of a sudden freeze wasting my time and also my points saved that I can’t get back that we’re worth nothing. I wish this bug would be fixed. Update: this is STILL happening and its very annoying so much of my stuff being wasted..Mcelwee313Version: 1.6.4

✓ GlitchesI get a issue constantly where I start a battle, and the characters don’t move, and no option to interact other then to quit. Then you go to quit, and it doesn’t let you leave, and the menu disappears, forcing you to close and restart the app. It’s a fun game, but that’s quite literally game breaking..AbacabaaVersion: 1.5.6
