Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes for Negative User Reviews

Discord chat app happyIf you want to be in a guild in this game you better have Discord, which is a chat app that is separate from the in game chat and potentially gives someone access to so many potential predators... it is a requirement in most guilds in this game to have that app. This leaves younger players at risk of predation and makes it very hard to find a guild. Even if you do have the Discord finding a good guild in this game is near impossible due to the guilds all being very exclusive. For example only allowing those with the most epic of teams to join. That is great and all but it allows guilds to bully members and makes for there only being too epic guilds with no newer level guilds because this is the only way to get good gear and advance in the game to where you can actually enjoy it. I have been with a guild for over 2 years and recently there has been a major bullying push to only go after specific characters and we have not been able to beat a TW in a very long time (like months) so the guild is being much more forceful in enforcing daily login as well as the acquisition of top characters like the Revans and the galactic legends characters. This is frustrating to me personally because I have characters that I WANT to work on but can’t because of fear I will be booted from my guild that I have put time into. Super frustrating!!.Version: 0.20.31

Expensive in both money & timeWhen you start playing the game, it’s fun and you can progress quickly without emptying your bank account. Once you get to the medium levels and higher, the game quickly loses its luster as you soon realize that you’re either going to spend A LOT of your money or A LOT of your time to just advance a little. And the game is designed to match you up against players that are stronger than you so you’ll want to spend more money just to play. It’s not a lot of fun watching half your squad get obliterated before you’ve even had a chance to take one shot. Personally, I’d say avoid this game like the plague. They’ve spent the money to do the research to know exactly how to get you addicted to the game. And addictive it is. Be aware. Seriously, there are better ways to spend your money and your time. Play at your own bank account’s risk.Version: 0.16.3

AddictiveEA has been taking a lot of heat lately over their loot box system and whether or not this constitutes gambling. A young person with access to online purchases could easily find themselves dropping hundreds of dollars trying to speed up the advancement of your game characters. This game is indeed crafted to be incredibly frustrating for the free to play gamer and will drip just enough advancement for the paying player to keep you reaching for your wallet. Unless you have really deep pockets, you may want to lock up your credit cards or choose another game..Version: 0.10.0

Utter money grabEvery top character will require either about a year or more to farm normally or hundreds of dollars to unlock. Whales of course will pay this and everyone one else will never place . Requirements just to get top characters require characters you’ll never use again to be top geared (taking months per character to gear) once again unless you pay hundreds. Game wasn’t that bad before but this last year or two has become no new content except pay to win mechanics. Used to be a decent game but rolling downhill fast..Version: 0.19.2

Treats the community like garbageThis game is a money grab, the pricing is offensively expensive and there’s huge disparity between how they treat those who spend money and the free to play players. CG are incredibly toxic to their own community, be warned, unless you have an open wallet, this game is not for you..Version: 0.24.20

Do not downloadWhat was once a fantastic phone game featuring a fun and rewarding grind is now solely focused on milking the player base for everything they have. With the recent malak controversy, I will no longer be playing this game. Any new player should not download this game as it is impossible to even think about being competitive without 3 years of time in the game minimum..Version: 0.17.1

On its way out.....It’s a shame but I just can’t say anything good about this game anymore. The dev team has just lost control of the game. I’m a f2p player and I’ve never felt so left out. They only care about sales and not actually making any parts of the game fun anymore. Nothing to do but hoard resources and wait for the next broken thing that comes down the pipes. I’ve played for four years now FYI. Glad I’ve never spent a dime on this game/job..Version: 0.17.1

They don’t careThey don’t care of players only get more money from us..Version: 0.17.1

Avoid- Utter contempt for the playersI have been playing this game for 4 years and up until 3 years ago it was the greatest mobile game I had ever played, in the last year CG have done everything they could to completely destroy this game, it mostly stems from greed unless you are spending thousands a month on this game it is not the game for you, if you do decide to spend serious amounts of money it probably won’t help you anyway as there is a problem with cheating in this game which the developers don’t seem to mind about as long as the cheaters are still spending lots of money, there is very little contact from CG and update posts are usually 3 months late and when you do get them they are usually empty promises of more news to come..., there has been no new content for months and I can honestly say the only reason I stuck it out the last year was hoping that something would change and then they banned AhnoldT101, if you don’t know who that is he is the biggest content creator for this game, he spends thousands of dollars on characters so people who can’t afford to do it can see how good they are and if they are worth the 2-3 months of farming and gearing to get them arena viable, I realise that this review is already very long so I will just end it with, CG have destroyed this game. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS MONEY GRABBING COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS GAMES..Version: 0.19.2

No player support for a billion dollar gamePlayers are required to find/report bugs. Developers and Ea Don’t fix them and the events just remains broken.Version: 0.20.40

CG is a bad companyLack of new content for 2020 plus CG giving free passes to cheaters makes it demoralizing to play the game. Lack of communication from devs is also a big issue..Version: 0.19.2

Fun Star Wars, but completely Pay-2-WinA well designed gameplay and great Star Wars canon and legends lore to work your way through. Content is reasonable, but could be more fun for late game. However the game is utterly geared towards big spenders and feedback is never heard by the developers. If you are just starting this game you either pay for the Hyperdrive Bundle, or give up as a disheartened player. And even with the HD bundle you will never ever compete in the big leagues. Overall, you have to be a Star Wars fanatic to even mildly enjoy this game..Version: 0.25.0

Not much leftPlayer base is angry as a hornets nest. The last year of this game has been a catering to its pay to win player base. There is a shallow glass ceiling to player base who do not spend regularly and frivolously. You could at the the beginning grind your way past this, but that is no longer the situation..Version: 0.17.1

UpdateSince the update lots of lag and kicked out of the app every 5 minutes.Version: 0.17.0

“F2P friendly” is an absolute lieMy old review on this game was really positive, because it’s genuinely a good game, but the devs have lost their way since that time, and after nearly 4 years of play I uninstalled it a few months ago. Gameplay is good, events are fun, it’s got all the right stuff. BUT it’s turned into a massive cash grab, if you don’t spend literal hundreds a month you won’t be able to experience 90% of the game. People will say “invest your resources better” or “wait until next time” but if you do either of those, you’ll be waiting 3+ months and those characters will literally be useless. If you save resources and spend them somewhere specific the devs will immediately drop something else that you will HAVE to spend money on to obtain, there’s no avoiding it. Playing this game F2P is a nightmare, you shouldn’t have to feel genuine anxiety for what you do in a mobile game, you shouldn’t have to spend thousands a year to enjoy a MOBILE GAME. And unfortunately CG will never change a thing because the whales that are in too deep will continue to put up with this bs. One positive is the community is solid, there’s some unnecessary drama because you have to basically make it a full time job to be a guild leader, and the Facebook groups are toxic, but the YouTubers and their followings are really cool. I still would never recommend this game, go play BF2 or fallen order or something if you want to actually enjoy yourself..Version: 0.17.3

Good Game, Terrible Battle TargetingAs my title suggests, overall this is a good game, but it really is let down by the in game targeting. It's absolutely ridiculous at times, you should be able to target the particular enemy player to pick them off as you see fit, not as the game itself dictates, otherwise it just renders the battle pointless. This is made more frustrating when you're winning comfortably and then it refuses to target anyone but the most powerful characters which then results in a loss. Perhaps it's a glitch, I don't know, but I most definitely wouldn't pay for upgrades in a game that can't get that basic function right from the get go. Seriously needs fixing before I'd consider giving it a better rating. I expect better from a company like EA..Version: 0.31.0

They banned AhnaldAs much as I loved the game, seeing how the team hates and disrespects content creators is just sad, the support that they give, the revenue and yet they don’t give any support back to anyone. This game is nothing without the community to back it up, soon as that community is gone, you may as well just uninstall the game from EA’s server. The game has been declining for years, to the point if you can’t spend the money, their is no point playing the game. I have been FTP ever since the games release, and I still don’t even have 6 high end teams, gear is a stretch, is takes 2 months or sometimes longer to farm a single character from 3* to 7* but they offer packs you can BUY!! To speed up the process! The only thing I like about the game is the Raids, that’s it. But the reason I play the game, is because of Ahnald and the community behind the game, it’s why I have continued to support it over the years when I could have given up on it. Why support a game when the developers don’t support the community!.Version: 0.19.2

EA horrible reputation yet againI loved this game and as many of the reviewers would say yes it’s addictive and visually great, pretty simple to play etc. The problems start when you begin to spend your money... You’re automatically thinking “hey this pack will help out so much, oh look the same thing but worth crystals (wait a minute I need to buy more crystals and hope the gambling gods are on my side - they never were). What I’m ranting about is that you will get to a point where you are barely levelling and have spent a lot of hours and money on it that you would feel bad leaving the game, and you just wish to get that level 60 to get some of that battleship action only to find yourself grinding for 6 months barely reaching that goal and for what? Wasted money and time on something that was good at the start but crippled your joy out of it... Honestly every player on this game is leaving there are empty guild with people last active 150 days ago at least... “they are losing their will to live” is what the medical droids are saying.Version: 0.10.1

Worst studio in the worldDo not download this game if you’re looking for a game studio that takes care of their community. Rip as much money from you as they can. No warning, no communication..Version: 0.19.2

It was a really good game (edited)Now it has become the worst money grabbing scheme. Besides the gambling in-game purchase which only gives the lowest rewards, they intentionally force people to buy their overpriced bundles and packs through short noticed events. If you say anything they don’t like in “their” forum, they will remove your post and ban you. They have banned a lot of people until you learn what they want you to say and what they don’t want you to say. I have played many games, this is the worst because people have to spend thousands to barely keep up with the game. They have lied and broke their promises all the time. If you have a few thousand to spare, go buy hundreds of other decent games developed by decent people for decent players..Version: 0.11.0

I love the game BUT it is ridiculously unbalancedThe game has the potential to be amazing but in recent times it has REALLY swayed towards the players that are prepared to spend thousands of dollars. I love the game and thus my weakness since I have been playing for coming on 2 years but it seems, especially recently, ea is throwing it back in the long term players faces. It is choosing groups of players, that to any Star Wars fans should not be beta players, to be these amazing can't win without players and leaving those of us who have been loyal and what we think is a smart way to spend our currency in the lurch. I really enjoy Star Wars and will continue to enjoy such titles as kotor in app form but even after 2 years of dedication I am seriously starting to consider dropping this game. I love the idea of mmos and other interactive games to connect players and enthusiasts but unfortunately that means companies will continue to exploit people to make a buck. I understand that companies exist to make a profit but maybe if they lowered the prices to such as the average player could afford then more people would feel that their dedication has not been wasted..Version: 0.9.0

Not a bad game but starting to pander to pay-to-play gamersStarted playing this game over a year ago and it was really good back then. Lately however, the new content has been almost unattainable unless you spend cash. The RNG odds on getting shards have reduced dramatically to a point it takes days sometimes to see 1 shard. Even double drop days don’t have notable returns. I understand that the developers still need to earn their keep and I’m willing to spend a little every now and then but at this current rate, a lot of mid-upper tier veteran players will start dropping out or stop playing regularly - there are more value for money games out there..Version: 0.19.2

Money grubbing gameThe arena is shared by communist like people who manipulate the arena so they can “earn” their crystals and they gang up on anyone who refuses to accept their collusion....very garbage game design where they reward players who share the top rank instead of those who fight for it.Version: 0.16.3

Macro Purchase SystemI’ve been playing for about 2 years now and leader of a guild. This game used to be easy for F2P (free to play) and you could do really well with micro purchases. I never felt it necessary to drop more than 20 bucks at a time. They’ve made a lot of changes and it’s getting harder and harder to be a F2P player. They’ve even unleashed some $60-90+ packs. And have made some of these items required for competing in events. This game was a lot of fun when I was just trying to unlock Darth Vader. Now I need to level up characters I’ll never use and waste resources that I could be using for characters I would use. It all just makes it a little frustrating, knowing that to be competitive anymore, you need to pay—a lot. This frustration is evident within my guild. I’ve had a few players quit because there’s just no way to do really well without paying a pretty penny. I’ve played a lot of other games, but never any as much or as long as this one. Only recently have I honestly thought about not playing anymore, just because of the constant requirement to have this character and that character. And to get that character you need to have this character. And that character is only available in this pack that cost $$..Version: 0.9.0

Most pay to play game ever.The developers have long since stopped doing anything of value to this game. Sadly it’s gotten to the point where they are just milking the fan base to death. Only doing enough to keep the whales spending while everyone else in the game gets nothing. Sad abuse of such loyal star wars fans..Version: 0.19.2

Going down hillI’ve been playing since early 2018 spent a bit of money here and there and really enjoyed the game. But the decisions that are being made since the start of 2019 are rapidly killing the game. I liked the fact despite myself spending money the game was still VERY accessible for F2P players, Not anymore it’s not. Also the fun of mashing together a theory crafted team is gone as if your not using the 5 from a faction they tell you it won’t “work as intended”, and god forbid there should be a F2P character that works against a shiny new character because if there is it’s getting nerfed and any rare gear you’ve saved months for (or paid £10) goes to waste In short this game is going downhill fast more people are leaving than joining and it’s all down to insulting decisions they’re making and not even defending..Version: 0.15.0

Fun but expensive gameI have been playing this game for about 5 years now. Everything is ftp accessible if you wait long enough and if you don’t want to wait there is plenty of ways to spend money. They cater to the top high end player base. I truly feel for someone who starts playing this game now. If you create or join a low level guild because you want to enjoy the game you will eventually run into other aspects of the game on your personal side that you will be blocked or unable to do because you are in a lower guild without paying(relic8 mats) which are required for some of the top end ship and arena characters. Other option is join a top guild and let them do the work for you and contribute zero which will last for a year or more. This has not changed in the last 5 years. The relic 8 hump is just the latest but they have continued to put blocks in place for lower guilds for there members to enjoy the game together or quit there guild to compete in either arenas and not enjoy the guild aspect of the game. Because of this I rated this game 3 stars. 3 stars to be able to play almost all aspects of the game providing you are casual and don’t care about any new stuff coming out ever. Minus 2 for the guild stuff and the locking smaller guilds out because this is a huge part of the game..Version: 0.25.0

IT’S A TRAP!!! Do not spend your money $$$$ Nerfed free characters!!!Wallet warriors rejoice!!! Pay2win at it’s worst. If you do not spend money, you will exist in the game for P2W players to defeat you. If you do spend money the rewards are random, or so the game maker say, the claim will be you can win anywhere from 5 to 330 character pieces to advance your character. I’ve spent a lot of money and never had a payout of more than 5. You will have to spend a lot of money on the game to get premium characters maxed out. Crooked casinos will occasionally payout better than this game. Do not spend your money. All I have to say is Mark V Stun Guns. The economy in this game is rigged to part suckers from their money. They actually just made the game economy worse and another level to “max” your characters out. The developers made a few free characters great and then without consideration for every player nerfed Darth Vader, General Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight Luke, and others. Big $$$ spenders were upset because with some strategy and a few good free-to-play characters were beating pay-for-play “Galactic Legends.” The developers did the same to a new game feature Conquest. They initially made it too easy to win decent prizes so they reset the game play so now you won’t get the prizes. DO NOT INVEST YOUR TIME & MONEY unless you love being treated like trash, cheated and hoodwinked. Just when you think you gain some ground, the developers want more of your hard earned cash..Version: 0.25.0

Bugged updatesI have invested both time and money into this game, logging in near daily to collect rewards, battle, and support my guild. As of late however, the numerous updates are impossible. Instead of updating as any other app does, every page load triggers a download. The latest occurs on the splash page, and kicks me out. I haven't been able to play to for days. I will not be investing any more money into this game. I’ll earn the crystals day to day, and will gladly give the whole thing up if it continues this way. I have been playing for over a year, but new, buggy updates, and restricted availability for X gear and above have sucked the fun out of playing..Version: 0.11.0

Caters heavily to those spending tons of cashMany characters are impossible to use without buying. Lots of events are impossible to do if you didn’t start playing at the beginning unless you spend piles of money. The amount you have to spend just to get one character properly set up is staggering, hundreds of USD, and there are currently 138 characters. This game takes freemium to a whole new level of greed, always popping ads in your face to try to get you to buy stuff. I got 3 ads today for Boba Fett. I already have him but the game isn’t clever enough to know when it’s notifying you of something useless, like an event that you’ve already completed. The game crashes quite often, as evidenced by the at least monthly “sorry about that” gift they put in your inbox. Considering some have spent thousands on this game they could at least fix a few glitches that have been lurking for ages. It needs an ability to adjust the camera angle, as often the arrangement it chooses obscures crucial information and you have to guess, and sometimes it makes it difficult if not impossible to select certain targets. The chat system is near useless, with the laziest implementation of a language filter I’ve ever seen. The guild management tools are sorely lacking. This game has been out long enough to spend some of the mountains of cash it’s making and invest in fixing the core mechanics..Version: 0.10.1

SWGOHIt’s a pay to pay game.Version: 0.17.1

Lost in a galaxy far far way from what made it greatWas once the best mobile game for Starwars , now is just pure corporate greed in full effect. The player base are treated as an inconvenience. The game is now an endless mouse wheel where money and not skill are the key ingredients, not to succeed, but to stay in the same place..Version: 0.17.1

Lost all my progressI was a level 70 something had it for ages making progress getting my favourite characters spent afew dollars then went on today and was back at level 1 and couldn’t get my old stuff back.Version: 0.33.7

It *used* to be greatI’ve played this game from the beginning. I absolutely loved it to begin with- it was challenging without making it feel like you’re Sisyphus doing the same thing everyday. It takes months to get a character to 7 stars and longer to get them to the highest gear level, unless you want to pay $100+ per character. The “enhancements” they’ve added are anything but. If you don’t want to spend 2+ hours a day playing this then you will have to pay. I’ve continued to play because I’ve put so much time into this game, but it is quickly getting far too frustrating to play. When you go 2-3 days of using your energy to get 2 shards when you need 300+ it’s ridiculous. So don’t expect to make progress quickly. It’s not fun. And make sure you accept notifications because if you miss a time slot then any preparation for that event means nothing. Don’t forget if you want certain characters you *have* to have a decent guild or else you have zero chance of every getting them. And by decent, I mean you probably need to have a few whales that pay so you can have a shot at doing the “end game” raids. I get that they need to make money to keep developing the game, but this game is quickly becoming pay to play not even pay to win..Version: 0.27.0

Mechanically sound - Monetary BrokenThis a good game. However a lot of the good stuff is gated behind power. There is no way to catch up, and the sales techniques are shocking. Example, you need 330 shards to fully unlock and utilise the power of characters, and they will sell you 5 shards for $20. That’s right, $1300 for one character to max stars. But wait, they also have gear which is hard to get, but you can buy, the have skill levels and an event harder resource to max, and then the have relic levels which again are needed or you can’t do the content, but are difficult to get but can be bought. You need 5 characters for a team. You could spend $5000 on one team. This is a game you need dozens of teams. Lots of stuff only has 5 characters you can use, and they must be max stars, and max gear, and max relic. So to okay this game you have to device to spend several thousand dollars, or have all the good stuff locked out from you and you won’t be able to play it. Playing free is not an option. You can’t compete. There are no micro transactions to boost you. All micro transactions don’t give you enough of anything to do anything. Not one thing. Not pack gives you a full gear upgrade or relic upgrade or character stars..Version: 0.31.5

Get your wallet ready.This used to be one of my favorite games, I’ve been playing for close to 10 years. It used to be a fun, nostalgic game that you could be competitive in so long as you were willing to put in the time and suffer the grind. But with every update comes more impossible (without spending you paycheck) to attain characters that are unbelievable over powered and impossible to compete with. Unless YOU have them too. There are weekly events that [used to] allow you to chip away a little faster and gear up. Now every event requires you to have characters that you either have to buy your way to (which in case you’re wondering would amount to literally thousands of dollars to buy the items necessary to actually build yourself up to the point where you can even attempt for them) so if you are a FTP (free to play) player, you’ll have fun until you plateau about a year after you reach level 85 and realize how futile it is. It was a great game where I was able to remain on the leaderboards for probably 5 years. Lately, every update just puts players that don’t want to spend money farther and farther behind. And will leave you feeling useless in your guild because you can’t even participate in 75% of the events and challenges..Version: 0.31.5

No Longer an Enjoyable GameI used to love this game, but there must have been some internal changes at the company, as I’m pretty sure they must now hate their players. No community engagement anymore; they are banning content creators, and letting cheaters off with a warning. When new content is eventually added, it seems specifically designed to make as much money as possible off the community, while adding little to no new things for players to do. While reviews still look positive for this game, the vast majority are from years ago when they actually tried..Version: 0.19.2

Was a great game!It’s a server based game. So it needs your cash. Has components that have a gambling element. Meant to hide the cost of the game, but doesn’t. Characters cost between £500-£1000 if you want to avoid the free to play bit. It’s not a pay2win game but only by a slim margin. The power creep means that the whales can buy up the latest stuff. So it’s still a pay2assist but only just. The game has an accelerated start, but I’ve held off creating a second account. As I usually give games up once I realise that new members have it easier than old hats had it. The game still has legs, but there will be a day that it turns a corner and more leave the game than it attracts. Every new component has a power creep to get you to buy in. With the glut of SW content on the immediate horizon, if the money men in EA try to shove that down our throats in one go… that may be the tipping point. Proverbially turning the corner. I’ve still got an issue I need to complain about, since they removed the in app support feature, reporting issues became an issue for hardcore players only. That last bit should fill you in with everything you need to know. My rule of thumb is don’t get involved unless you want to go the distance. I started in a different age, if I had the choice to start now. I probably wouldn’t..Version: 0.27.0

Fun for a short time.The game is fun and I have spent almost 4 years playing, the down side is if you want to new stuff be ready to spend around $1000 for it. There has been no real game content for a long time, the new thing they are bringing out are not for f2p people. I would say don’t expect to find a happy ending with this but expect to find your time wasted and no support from the company making it..Version: 0.17.3

It’s official, its a has been.Galaxy of Heroes was excellent a couple of years ago, and it still hasn’t lost its identity but it appears to have lost anything that makes it feel fresh. GOH has all of the hallmarks of an excellent game, but without the loving ongoing support that the developers used to heap on it. I find myself drawn more towards Marvel Strike Force these days because it seems so much more ahead of the curve than this game despite being an almost carbon copy. Put some more soul into this game guys! Where’s the characters from The Mandalorian? Where’s the stuff from Rise of Skywalker or the plethora of EU stuff? Where are the new events we should come to expect, the extra support to make the game look and feel more crisp? I’ve taken the time to write this review not because I want to defecate on the game, but because I care about the game. Please do better, or people will forget this game exists..Version: 0.19.1

Boring new contentAfter waiting almost a year for something new in this game we get a boring kill the same 5 things 18 times a day for 6 days straight and then get some poor in game items. It’s boring the rewards are not great and after claiming to improve the rewards this week instead it’s just bugged and a lot of people got even worse..Version: 0.9.0

No longer F2PI have played this game for years now and have been enjoying it so much. I am free to play. When the game first began, it was exciting and fun to level up my favorite characters. The sad truth is, however, that the power creep and monetization of the game has ruined the free-to-play experience. This game used to be so successful because in-game purchases used to give you a slight leg up on the competition. However, the true power in your roster came with time and daily progress. Now, the game is insanity boosted by purchases and makes competing on a free level impossible. It’s sad to see. They think that by doing this they are bringing in big dollars, which they very well may be. But with the latest power creeps in the game, the mass exodus of free to play players is bound to happen. What Capital games fails to realize is that they are cheapening the value of longevity in the game, which imo is not a smart move. Up until Revan broke the game, I would have given the game 5 stars. It’s been almost a year from then, and the creep in power has only grown exponentially. I still play and enjoy, but I don’t recommend this game to any new players. The experience is almost dead. I hope they try to turn it around, but I have a feeling that they are going downhill quickly and just want to milk the whales for everything that they can..Version: 0.17.0

Great to start but fun slows quicklyThis was a brilliant way to spend a few spare hours a week. However, now the only way to progress your team is to spend money. Every few weeks the developers downgrade the characters you’ve just spent time on developing based on the games promotions and then release new ones or mod other existing ones to now be more powerful. You therefore invest in them only to find the cycle repeating itself. Once you are at max level, you then find yourself grinding for a month to mod a single character (unless you are willing to be spending a near fortune to upgrade). Trying to get the parts needed through drops is a joke. The drop rate of items is poor at best. Also, when a reward for a battle is promoted as between 1.5 and 10 million coins, to 3 star every battle for 6 months for either 1.5 or 2.5 every time is annoying. Why say 10m when 10m is not really likely to happen. I can now guess with unerring accuracy what will drop from each battle or mission reward. So, thanks for months of fun - but not for allowing it to slowly die a death. Konami have released a great Star Wars card game that has already worked around the above mentioned issues. Worth a look I would say..Version: 0.9.0

Good but too many pay to win elementsThe content of the game and strategy is smart and can be fun but to unlock most characters without paying can take you a few years. That’s the problem, this game is way too expensive as to actually get the characters you really want is so difficult for the average person, it leaves you not wanting to play. I took a break from the game for just under two years and nothing has improved in terms of affordability and progression. The developers have conveniently locked the ability of unlocking the more popular characters behind the top level, characters like Revan, Anakin Skywalker and etc. They also give you the option to jump up to the top level with a few minor extras for the monstrous sum of £99. I have only spent money on the game twice ever, around £40 altogether. And for me there is no visible difference. I think the loot box system is one that can rival FIFA Ultimate team’s similar system. Both developed under the same banner: EA Games... I would recommend only playing this game if you truly have hundreds if not thousands of pounds to spend on a game. Otherwise don’t bother..Version: 0.18.3

Interesting...Was lots of fun at first, but then they kept introducing new characters which made the old ones obsolete. Felt like I wasted my time over the last two years building up the old characters, but hey, if wasting time is your thing, then this is the game for you ;).Version: 0.9.0

When the developers cheat as well, why bother?Feels like I’ve just ended an abusive relationship with Capital Games and EA of the last 4 years. They just nerfed the four F2P characters that gave many of us a chance to at least compete (sort of) alongside the rubbish Galactic Legend who needs them to stand a chance. All that time, energy and application, thrown out by retroactively fiddling the game dynamics so you can’t challenge the spenders (who have to gamble on loot boxes themselves). I get that spenders will always have a better chance, that’s fine, but punishing F2P because we use skill and hard work is tough to take. Plus they allow game hackers to keep their accounts when found cheating (see YouTube). About to uninstall. A heart-breaking betrayal by CG and EA..Version: 0.25.0

Pretty nice gameChanging my review after spending 150$ they are clearly stealing players the drop rate is a real joke . Just spend another 45$ for 21 shards this paying system is ridiculous ill not put anympre money in this scam and ill play for free now. Do NOT spend your money. The fact that you can get 5-7 shards for 13$ is stupid. Please fix your chance system EA. Many exemple of ridiculous loot rate are on forum, people often get nothing from 500$. I love the game but i will have to play it for free since its paying system is completely broken..Version: 0.9.0

This type of game should be illegalThe game consistently releases updates and new characters, in which the ONLY way to gain them is buy paying for them! There literally is no way to have access to the character at all (and at the very least, quickly) without paying for it. I’m talking up to $300 on avg for a single character. Which doesn’t include the additional $200-ish to upgrade the character to max level and gear. Then occasionally in order to gain a new meta character you have to upgrade 5 characters to max level to receive it. The people that pay (and people do) are benefiting from the rewards they can then receive from having higher characters, but those rewards don’t compare with what needs to be done if you want to STAY competitive. You have buy the next character when it comes out. The top players in this game that I’ve talked to have spent $20,000-$30,000+ on the game since it’s release. I’m NOT joking or exaggerating. Even when they play EVERYday, that’s what they’ve needed to do to stay competitive. If you don’t believe me do a little research. The top guild in the world is called “The Big Wallets”. That should tell you something. It’s like a gambling addiction. Makers of these games work with psychologists to create these models and hook people in this way. It’s a tragedy, dangerous and should be illegal. Don’t play this game. Stick with games that value skill over the size of your wallet. Don’t even try this technological drug. STAY AWAY!.Version: 0.16.2

Game developers do not listen to the communityI'm giving you fair warning now as someone who has consistently played for over one year, this game is initially fun, but as you continue to play you'll realize it is completely pay to win and is designed to make you panic spend to get the characters you want. It is specifically designed to feed off of gambling behaviors. Not only that, but EA is extremely stingy, greedy, and will not listen to the community that plays this game. They will even delete posts on their forum that give constructive criticism to this game. But what should you expect from EA right? Do not waste your time and money on this game..Version: 0.9.0

Great base game... with recent issuesIt's a really good game, and has done well with the Star Wars license, can't recommend it enough.... That said, recent developer choices have ruined it, and caused the community to dissuade any new players from joining up. New guild game mode is long and pointless, new character makes all before it completely irrelevant, and most importantly, a well known YouTuber recently posted a video aimed at the developers with productive criticism, and the devs have removed him from their "game changers" program. TL:DR, either the developers, or more likely EA, don't care about the average player experience, and only attempt to cater to the whales, which I understand is good to an extent, but kills a great game in the long run The game has a great community and a few community driven devs, but it's being completely mismanaged at the moment, and things need to change before I can revert my review back to 5* :).Version: 0.9.0

Could've been great...This game is a lot of fun, especially since the guild feature came about. BUT...EA cannot or will not fix several long standing bugs. They acknowledge certain in game characters have bugs that hobble their performance; they promise certain rewards and don't deliver; and most recently, they awarded Raid tickets (used for launching raids) that when used to raid, will not give rewards earned in said raid. On top of that, EA's customer service and tech support is absolutely horrid! This game is a good time waster, but DO NOT spend real money on ANY in-game purchases! I really wanted to give more than three stars, but until EA gets its act together, that's all I will give. Update April 2019: EA and CG are nerfing any and all characters that can counter their newest Pay to Play meta toon, Darth Malak. Their cash grabs are so nakedly obvious and embarrassing. Their own senior developer admitted on Reddit that a player is expected to pay $4-5k (yes, thousands) per year to keep current with game content. On a phone game? Seriously?! Get real. They do zero testing before releasing buggy new content; nerf long-time game characters to protect their pay-to-play base, and still have terrible customer service. And they EXPECT $4-5k a YEAR? Don’t waste your money. You can still do most everything for free, if you’re really patient. It’s not a bad game, but the developers have an extremely inflated view of its worth..Version: 0.15.0

The Impossible DreamStar Wars Galaxy of Heroes has all the makings of a great game. Cool graphics filled with key characters of the Star Wars series as well as several new unique ones. It is very challenging gameplay: it is filled with multiple games with daily quests/challenges that is well-designed to peak your interest and capture your desire to continue to play on to attain higher levels. However, there is one glaring problem, the creators make it impossible to advance your characters to attain in adequate level during daily challenges to obtain higher rewards. There is a clear emphasis on having the player continue to spend money to upgrade his army of character. However, upon attaining the highest player levels, the manufacturer has rigged the game play so that you are pitted against factitious other teams that are increasingly higher than your greatest teams’ ability to conquer. Despite advancing your characters to higher levels, each day, you begin knocked down to a lower level and are matched up against other squadrons/units with considerably higher skill sets with advance speeds that destroy your units, thereby hampering your ability to advance. Having read multiple other gamers’ reviews, I am sure that the manufactures are well aware of this, yet have not modified the game accordingly. Unless you are of substantial dispensable financial means, my advice would be to avoid this game..Version: 0.10.1

Decent game but Pay to WinI have a couple of years experience with this game and it is pretty well built and has a lot of different events to participate in. I’ve gone mostly free to play with a few purchases here and there on some of the good deals that pass through the shop. My gripe with this game is how hard they push for people to pay to win. Literally every time there’s a new thing to buy in the shop they push it in your face whenever you log in. They come out with new characters and squads pretty regularly which would be good except that they also build new content around those new squads that expect you to have the new characters maxed out within days of them coming out. You literally would have to spend thousands of dollars to do that in time which is egregious. I find this particular tactic appalling since they are basically catering to the whales only. This game is very heavily pay to win. All that being said, I’ve still had fun building up my squads over a couple years and participating in the older events that I can manage to do something in. For reference, I’ve spent maybe $500 overall on sales for gear and relic materials and I’m nowhere near being able to compete in new events. Top tier players have spent upwards of $100,000 easily..Version: 0.32.0

Alright Game with a few minor issuesThis game is really good don’t get me wrong but some people in the early game have been giving up early because of the lack or resources they get. Another reason is because when they are grinding their characters they need to sim lots of games which takes lots of energy as you only get about 100 a day, which is not nearly enough for how much you need as a beginner. Nevertheless this game is the best Star Wars game by far and will keep evolving as time goes on. So I hope you know why I think that this game needs to have a minor update and how much effort it needs to put in.Version: 0.24.0

Billion dollar game should treat players better!!I’ve played this game pretty much since launched 7 years ago and instantly I was hooked. It was fun collecting characters and unlocking legendary characters like Commander Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca. But a couple years ago the developers introduced “Galactic Legends” these extremely powerful toons required 10-12 toons to be fully geared and reliced a process that took months and months to achieve just to start the unlocking process. These 10-12 required toons were not even needed for the event itself it was just a massive cash grab by the developers. This sleezy thinking has grown to almost unimaginable proportions with not so much as basic communication to players or fixing bugs in the game or simple quality of life changes that have been begged for for years. I play other games that have daily updates from developers about what’s happening next week or next year and during holidays even the secondary holidays like mother’s day the developers send out presents that are greatly appreciated. But SWGOH a multi billion dollar game a top ten mobile game for years can’t even say “happy new year “to the player base. I can’t recommend anyone to start playing this game unless you have piles of extra cash laying around the F2P aspect of the game is all but dead. You’ve ruined a great game $$CG$$ I’ll never forgive you for that and hope you don’t do the same to your next one..Version: 0.29.2

Great game but stupid metaThe game is great, sure like most apps there’s a pay to win scheme but what game doesn’t these days and you can still unlock it all without paying a cent. But the devs clearly don’t see the problem with half their characters. Unlike a game like league of legends who constantly rebalance their characters when they become too powerful these guys don’t. Take Grand Master Yoda: can take 3 turns in a row and critically hit on all 3 and can deal 5 figures on each attack without even being max stats, gain damage immunity for one turn and give it to all allies and cool downs are all reset by the end of his 3 turns so he can do it again next time. Or how about the fact they’re about to give Galactic Legends class characters changes that mean they can only be beaten by others of the same class (all of them takes months to get, I’d wager a year without paying) so new players don’t get a chance to use the characters they want cause everyone else just uses the meta build team so if don’t think you can use your favourite team cause topic they’re not the meta team they’re never gonna win and you’ll have to spend time and resources on the meta team making your favourites so much weaker and non-playable.Version: 0.25.0

Good but Crash HeavyThe game is a little bit of fun each day where come in and try to improve a character or unlock a new one. I’ve gone on and off with the game but been finding it keeps crashing a lot since update and with long load time it can get pretty frustrating. There is a grind but it a pretty standard grind for a f2p model nothing ridiculous..Version: 0.15.0

Vous voulezWorst connection ever!.Version: 0.9.0

This game sucks.I hate apple, I wrote a giant review but I turned my phone screen and it got wiped. Womp womp! Basically this is NOT a Star Wars game. This game is a CARD GAME, with Star Wars paint. Let me explain why that’s different from a Star Wars game. No element of this game makes it EXCLUSIVE to Star Wars. Replace every character with Pokemon. What is effected? This game has no story! It has no progression outside of levelling your characters to jump the artificial spikes in difficulty! The entire point of this game is essentially to lure you into a gatcha game with Star Wars paint, so you will BUY STUFF, JUST BECAUSE STAR WARS. This game is consumerist incarnate. The characters are all very samey, and this game is essentially a card game. Once the luster of “Dork Side Anaking!!!” is gone, you realize nothing really makes him different from any other character you can just get. What is the point of this game? To collect them all? Why? They almost all play the same! Every! Single! ONE! The Dark Troopers shouldn’t feel like some variant storm trooper, it should feel like a POWERFUL MACHINE. All Sith and Jedi are the same besides my Ashoka who’s only difference is that she heals herself and is very strong. That’s it? Her uniqueness's is being mighty in a generic way? :l bland. Uninspired. The team/party building is WEAK too, with most characters having no leader ability, or ability like “THIS SITH MAKES OTHER SITH DO 10% MORE DAMAGE?!!?😱” This game simply kinda sucks. I feel awful for anyone who thinks its a good game because of the sunken cost fallacy and Star Wars brand name, fans swindled into blind obedience. Pay piggies, united for EA..Version: 0.33.7

Can be FtP but it’s hardThe cash grab is real. It is VERY difficult for ftp players to compete in pvp events. The whales will have the latest new OP toon that is nearly impossible to beat unless you have them too. And, if there is some existing toon that can beat them, the developers nerf them so they can’t. If you have patience, and are willing to accept the fact that you will never be on the top 20 of pvp, then you can still find some enjoyment in this game. I am on this category, but it’s not without frustration. The shard drop rates are actually insulting and should be fixed but they won’t because, you know, $$$$$$$. You can easily do 15 battles and get zero shards. It happens to me and my guild mates regularly. So you’re forced to spend huge amounts of crystals for a pitiful amount of way over priced shards. It really is a slap in the face to the players and tbh will probably be the reason I quit the game. There needs to be a minimum guaranteed amount of shards per attempts, even if it’s 1 in 10! The gear wall is extremely frustrating too, you’ll need 200 or more pieces of a certain type of gear for one toon which are also outrageously overpriced and sometimes may not be available anywhere and also have a horrendous drop rate from battles. AND, you’ll need these for a bunch of characters at the same time too. At any rate, you’ll still enjoy the game if you have a tremendous amount of patience and/or 100’s of $ laying around to dump into the game..Version: 0.15.0

Conquest changes are ruining the gameWhen conquest first released it was very fresh, fun and engaging. But CGs extreme over monetisation of the mode has ruined it for all, as it is now EXTREMELY repetitive and clearly aimed at milking as much money as it can. They even released a season pass just for the game mode which I even considered buying when announced but it is so extremely stingy and is basically paying for features they PURPOSELY removed such as decreased energy times. CG needs to learn how to reel in new customers, you give out good rewards for money and maybe people will pay. Overall they are just in it to milk the whales..Version: 0.27.0

It ... was goodThis was a really great game, but then in game purchases took over... levelling a char takes forever, if u even can, mainly coz drops are non existent, mod parts are rarer than a blue moon... the cost of buying from in game purchases are ridiculous and at best you don’t always get the mod as often this are random in purchace, the game is a repetitive cycle of grind / get stuck / raise levels / grind get stuck that’s it... 3 of my real life friends left due to its repetitive nature... ships I looked forward to, only to find the game is exactly like playing characters except with ship skins, they need to add more diversity, pvp should be real time pvp.., but it’s not, it takes a players char set and you pvp a bot group ... rubbish, we are in 2017 not 1987 Also, if u change ur phone or number, logging into your original account is next to impossible, wich happened to me, now I can’t access, they need to add a local account access not use game or Facebook to store account info but an email or something , also a game intro and training. Skip button, it takes forever yet you could work it out without that in 10 min .... it was great but I’d say it’s now had its time.Version: 0.10.0

Micro-transactions, slow progression, outdatedThe basis of this game is good, but highly repetitive, we need different game styles and more selection of special events like Tank Takedown. Also change the loading screen everyone once and a while, there are many graphics artists who would love to create a different loading screen each month. We just need new fresh ways to progress and play and also new cosmetic changes to freshen up the game..Version: 0.20.40

Random shard BSI like the game, I do. BUT the random shard drop from crystal purchases has me annoyed. I was working at Kylo unmasked, I needed only 15 more to get another star, so I worked at the game until I got 1299 crystals, spent them and got...7. Ok fine. Started plugging away AGAIN, finally got to over 1299 AGAIN, spent them and got.. 7 AGAIN!!!! I am at 29/30. This doesn't feel like coincidence. I don't even think there's anywhere other than the store I can get those shards and I'm not going to have time to earn another before the time runs out. Pretty frustrating..Version: 0.10.0

Slowly losing itI’ve been playing this game for a while. I’m a mad Star Wars geek, but there are still some things for me to complain about. First of all, every single training droid I pile onto my Shaak Ti (great addition by the way), I find that she generally does not level up. Secondly, there are some characters that I really don’t see the point of. Where in Star Wars does anyone see a nightsister spirit. Sure the zombies made an appearance briefly in the clone wars, but i see no point; this is also like the addition of Wat Tambor. I agree that he is a good character, but he is faintly known even within the community of Star Wars geniuses. Third, I would love to see an addition of some real Star Wars characters. I think Ki-Adi-Mundi did not get enough screen time and would make a perfect character to obtain. Fourth and finally, every day I get madder at the amount of shards some characters need to activate. I know yoda is an extremely powerful Jedi, but 145 is a pain to get unless you attend in an event where you can collect his shards, where you need multiple Jedi who are also quite hard to get stars for let alone obtain.Version: 0.17.1

Squad cantina needs fixing!!Great game! The new ships set up is terrible though. 3 ships only is silly especially in ship challenges when the computer can call reinforcements so easily.Version: 0.12.1

Addictive but a real grindPlayed this game everyday for over a year. Regular updates bringing in new characters and rotating events made this game fun and addictive. However, once you get to a certain level and get your characters to a certain gear level, the game becomes a slog. 100 purple gear slots to fill 1/6 gear spaces. Once you fill all 6, you upgrade your characters gear level and the requirements jump up again and then you need gold gear which is very hard to get, unless you buy them. Took me around 6 months to get one gear level up for one character without spending money. Then you need shards to level the actual character. Oh, and don’t waste your time with buying the data cards either, they always give the lowest rewards possible. The guild community on here is great and supportive though and it is fun for a certain amount of time. I’ve moved onto marvel strike force now which is the same premise but a bit better..Version: 0.12.1

Warning to new players!CG, the company that makes this game is punishing Whistleblowers for having the guts to expose long-term cheating. Once you start this game, you have to commit a lot of time and energy into it on a daily basis. Further, this is a pay to win game where some individuals spend thousands of dollars a month. CG has lost the respect of many of us who have a love for Star Wars and the camaraderie that belonging to a Guild brings..Version: 0.16.2

No point in playing the gameThis game is one that I have spent years playing. I’ve never known a company to be so disrespectful to its gaming community. They allow cheaters to continue playing the game, as well as make it harder for people promoting their game (FOR FREE) to provide meaningful content to the community. They don’t realise that since they are terrible with keeping in contact with its players that it’s these YouTubers that drive us back and drive us to spend money and keep playing the game. Furthermore, as a company they are terrible at promoting new content for the game and have a lack of creative ideas on the direction they should be taking. It is clear that Capital Games aren’t passionate about Star Wars, they are only passionate about taking your money. Rather than working with the community on features we would all want, time and time again we hear it’s too difficult to do because of all these different reasons. This is BS. As a company they should be saying to themselves “how can we make this possible, or what’s the work around” rather than shutting down every idea because they don’t know how to implement it. The staff at Capital Games should be ashamed and replaced with people who care about the game and want to see it become a game for the 22nd century. Extremely disappointed..Version: 0.19.2

This game is broken - Capital Games has lost it wayGood game concept but very expensive to play if you want to advance to higher levels. They tend to screw with players [a common EA thing] - That was my review 2 years ago This have only gotten worse with the latest event . they make you pay to upgrade characters to do events and you don’t even need the characters for the event. People have spent 4 month preparing for a big event and it was just an expensive let down . Capital Games doesn’t even care because they made their money in the build up of the event. They have used 10 year old cinematic start a first year student in it could better by 1000%. If you thinking about downloading this game. - I suggest you don’t. My view is that EA has gotten to the point where they have made a billion $ and now they will retire the game soon. So don’t waste you time on money on a game that has been seriously damaged by Capital Games. That don’t care any more and probably they will be fired by EA if it has any moral compass. The latest event and update was a game killer . It will die soon as a result of Incompetence..Version: 0.19.1

Allow cheating, pay to win rip off, zero new content in yearsThe only good thing about this game - is Star Wars universe. It is highly addictive to any fan. And this is why I want to warn any fan to stay away from this game or at least not to spend. This game is ran by a band of greedy liars who we (as community) suspect haven’t seen a single movie once. No communication, allow cheating if you pay, no content in years (the only releases - new paywall toons which can’t be unlocked without spending thousands, or new cash grab gear packs), and if you buy new toon - there is no game mode to test that toon whatsoever! And this is just a tip of the iceberg. This game has very strong community which hopes this game will become playable and fair on day, but it is getting worse and worse every day. Dec’20 Update - they started to lock essential content behind pay walls. Literally - there os no other way to get certain content unless you pay. New low.Version: 0.20.40

If you’re not a whale…Okay. The game has a lot of appeal. Daily challenges, regular competitions… but, we have to remember it’s EA. They run on micro transactions. It’s accepted in the community and well, we all just do it. The problem is that you work hard to get somewhere… I mean… REALLY hard… and you do make progress… but then EA creates another tier of OP characters for the whales to pour money into. So I’ve been playing for years now… every day… I’m jostling in the top 1000 players. But I’m not going to make any more progress… my best squad is no where near as strong as the top squads. Let’s say, I’m tier 1… and there’s new tier 4 characters that are so OP they can take out my whole squad… and they are ‘earned’ by people who pay for it… you have to fully upgrade scores of characters that can only be accessed by fully upgrading another series of characters… I only play now because I’m addicted… all those hours… all the $$… and today, I’m going cold turkey. Good luck.Version: 0.24.20

Pay to win + uninvolved developersThe game has always offered a pay2win formula but it has become even more predatory in its strategy to hook whales(big spenders $$$) and cull the small fishies(low pay/f2p). The most recent examples of this is ships 2.0 and the nerf to the raid team featuring the night sisters. Players invested months into farming this team (f2p) got shanked. The devs response was awful and just flat outcontinues to prove why any game owned by EA is just purely a money grab/cash cow. $12 million+ revenue a month this game makes and it can’t even make any new non-pay2win/pay2play FUN content, can’t afford a proper community management or player engagement team and constantly release varying levels of graphics from breathtaking environments such as the trayus academy backdrops to the steaming pile that is like 60% of faces in this game looking at you sabine, qui gon, Emilia Clarke’s character from SOLO and pretty much any movie character with slender faces and pronounced or feminine features..Version: 0.12.1

TrashThis game is the perfect execution of game that could be fun, but EA was able to completely ruin by riddling it with micro-transactions and making it excruciating to grind certain characters, mods, and gear without paying..Version: 0.33.1

It’s fun but it’s got issuesIt’s heavy on the in app purchases (Cough cough EA) like the hyperdrive bundle is total bs and as someone who has played since before it I just wanna say the game has only gotten worse since you added it. Other than that it’s pretty good, although they just doubled the rewards on every node except the few I’d like to farm so thanks for that... I know my opinion means little to a game giant but I think you should add some things you sorta left out like A Cls and R2 x-wing Commander Wolfe Commander Cody really needs a rework Although Lando is a rebel fighter now he is underpowered and could use a zeta I have a bunch of other comments about the insane lack of balancing between old and new hero’s, but more importantly, the grand arena keeps putting me into championships even when I’m not playing like thanks let’s just throw you into an online match while you’re afk for weeks because not enough people actually play our game so let’s use all the dead accounts to our advantage.Version: 0.20.40

Good gameplay, bad for paying customers.Fist let me say I love star wars and this game is really good from a gameplay perspective. I’ve played it for over a year now and will continue to do so for that reason. The reason for the low rating however is the booster packs that very rarely has any guarantees for characters unless it’s promotional. Most of the time you will spend days and weeks saving crystals to buy a shard pack to only get a minimal amount of shards for the wrong character. Even if you do spend money which I have on several occasions I’ve never come close to receiving the characters I wanted or even their shards. Also if you want a powerful character you are going to be farming for a long.......long time. Think in terms of months rather than days. Also customer engagement and complaint resolutions is pretty much nonexistent. Really at times it feels like they are just there to milk you for all you are worth with zero f$@&s given. I know this is not the only game that has this problem but if I’m dropping money I’d at least like to know what I’m getting..Version: 0.20.50

Developers Destroyed the game and communityThis game used to be fun... used to be. Developer moves in recent months have created such a massive pay wall that they have literally run YouTubers, the game’s advocates to the community, away from the game. Unless you are interested in literally paying thousands of dollars I highly recommend you choose a different game. I’ve played this game for over 3 years, devastating to watch the community collapse as a result of developer greed....Version: 0.17.1

This Game is Laughable, Typical EAThis is currently the only Star Wars game with active support...and it’s a DISASTER. When I look at all the 5 stars this game has, I begin to laugh and wonder whether I am playing the same game. Anyway, this game is great at first...until you figure out just how long it will take you to do anything in this game. My cousin introduced me to the game a few years ago and I played a decent bit for awhile, back when I was innocent to EA’s scams. I dropped the game because I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere with it and I kept getting beat by stronger foes. I picked the game up a few days ago and realized once again why I dropped the game in the first place. If you want to get anywhere in this game, EA and Capital Games expect you to pay to win. I hate pay to win games. Also, about the paying part, where have I heard that again? Oh yeah, from youtubers whose Galaxy of Heroes accounts were worth thousands of dollars, were childishly banned by Capital Games for giving the game a bit of mild criticism. Look it up guys. Star Wars fans shouldn’t have to settle for this game. If you are a reasonable Star Wars gamer, stay away. Just hope and pray that EA’s mercy will extend as far as giving us a Battlefront 3 in the near future (since Disney seems to be set on giving them the license extension). Sorry this was a harsh review but thanks for reading. I hope this will educated some of you to EA’s abuse of Star Wars fans, their wallets, and their time..Version: 0.19.4

They’re tanking their own gameQuit after 3+ years of playong daily , being on at every reset for energy and shops The current message is if you don’t spend a few thousands a month on their low value overpriced stuff you should leave They keep adding gear crunch, low drop rates pn everything , no new fun and playable content The release of general anakin skywalker was the last straw for me , yet another lightside broken op character , pay to win Game was so much fun in the first two years , leave it to EA to ruin star wars.Version: 0.17.1

Why?This game has a great concept and it is really fun to play with friends to see who can get the better team. However, this game is so PTW that it becomes not even fair. I will go into arena and all of the teams are level 80-85 phoenix squadron with gear tier 9, and the Galactic challenge table is impossible to win unless you wait months until you play it. I'm FTP level 73 and i've beat it one time after I forgot about for a while. Another thing to think about is graphics. For many games these would be great graphics, but this game is bringing in billions of dollars, I'm sure that EA can afford to put more effort into making this game much better, we don't want you to add one character every month. We want an overhaul to change the game to something that is appealing to people. Right now the only way to level up is to grind everyday for years and plan ahead of time what team your are going to use, and if you didn't notice, that is not appealing to casual players like myself. There are so many people that would start playing this game again if you just spent some of the money this game brings in to make the game overall better. Nobody will love a game that is so ptw that it's not fair. Just THINK about it....Version: 0.28.1

Tusken raider omicron error?I have had the tusken raider omicron since just after it was added, and up until recently, it has been working fine, however now I am having an issue where after the tusken (summon) is defeated several times, it doesn’t re-summon, even when there is still another tusken ally. I have looked through the kit and haven’t found anything explaining why this is happening. Also note that the summon is not being defeated by an anti revive ability, although I’m not sure if that would make any difference anyway, considering the unit it re-summoned, not revived. The normal tusken revives perfectly fine every time it is defeated as long as there is another tusken ally, as stated in the omicron ability. Could you please explain to me why this is happening, and if it is an error, fix it please? Thanks for your time, MegaBowArrow Update & Edit Months later and this issue has still not been resolved. Very disappointed. Having the omicron not functioning properly has resulted in me having one less viable team in grand arena, and in some cases has been the direct reason I have lost. I am sure you can understand my frustration. To anyone out there considering the Ruskin raider omicron, I would highly recommend you give it a miss, as it’s malfunction removes all viability of the team, rendering them useless. Hope this helps, sincerely yours, MegaBowArrow..Version: 0.32.1

Too much of a choreI started this game over 3 years ago, I loved it back then. But the character drop rates are rubbish, so it takes so long to unlock and upgrade characters. Now with Galactic Legends requiring all required toons to be relic’d before attempting these events it’s really becoming a time consuming, money grabbing chore. Some toons/ ships can only be obtained by completing the Conquest event time and and time again. As a single parent of 3, I can’t afford to spend all day every day on this game to try to complete this type of event, so I’ll probably never get these characters. I’m seriously considering quitting and just keep playing games like Marvel Strike Force that doesn’t have these long drawn out events..Version: 0.25.0

Great game if you’re a whale or krakenAwesome game I Loved it. I played since day 1 but I decided to delete it today and I don’t regret the decision. The game is too expensive even Bill Gates would go broke playing..Version: 0.17.1

Fading StarWhat was once a great game but now is starting to fade. The game appears to be in run down mode. No new major content has been released in a long time, bugs remain unfixed and there is little to no communication from the developers suggesting they have turned out the lights and gone home.Version: 0.19.2

Polished and established, but a Freemium game nonethelessStar Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is a fine game that comes with a caveat. It is every bit, down to its core, a Freemium game. With all the good and bad that entails. Does it provide you a daily play experience and a sense of progress and enjoyment as you grow your characters over time? Yes. Does it also utilise every predatory trick in the book to try and manipulate you into addiction and into spending money? Absolutely yes. Spending money in-game is ridiculous and not even worth considering, $10 is worth nothing, $50 is barely a drop in the bucket. $300 *is a start*. You’ll notice very poor value for money for all in-game purchases, with some being worse than others. Otherwise the game is functional and fairly enjoyable for what it is. You can acquire, upgrade and use a very large number of your favourite Star Wars characters. But the primary reason most of us long term players keep playing is for the large and active community that surrounds the game. It’s not overly buggy or clunky to play, though there is the odd game breaking bug that can sour the experience for those unlucky souls who experience it. I’ve been playing 3+ years and never seen one though..Version: 0.20.2

It WAS good!What can I say, it WAS a really good game when I first started playing but then the focus shifted to harvesting money from the big spenders who of course want to pay to win. Because of this, infinitely lesser squads are released for the aforementioned people to be able to beat anything else in the game at the swipe of a credit card because the newer characters or ships are so overwhelmingly powerful using mostly new features/powers to beat any opponent. The development team now release a new over powered hero every couple of months or so in the hopes that people will spend money to acquire said unbalanced character/ship. All the while ruining the game for everyone else who doesn't manage to get that character/ship. Although there are still huge numbers playing the game they must think it's in free fall and are trying to eke out every last penny before they give up on it for good. Great game has been ruined by greed and what seems like no thought to creating a good balanced game for everyone to enjoy. Loyalty to my team mates is all that's keeping me there..Version: 0.26.5

Take user base for grantedVery slow in terms of releasing new content. For the last 12 months there is nothing except expensive packs and new characters that requires to buy expensive pack to gear. It was a waste of my time for last 12 months.Version: 0.19.2

Good game but pay to win is crazyI’ve been playing this game for a bout a year going on two now . The graphics awesome, sounds amazing, strategy mind blow. PAY To win aspect annoying and crazy . I mean I get they got to make money but come on is almost catered the the one who can afford to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars on it. I know I can’t afford to payout but very tempted to do it . Im level 85 and the gear required to do the upgrades takes a while but this game is grind I get that but some of the drop rates I mean come on dude. I wasted about 300 crystals on try to get my mando to 5 stars today. I simed 15 times and got nothing and that happens every so often. I’m in a awesome guild and I love the characters and lore are so awesome to me as a Star Wars fan I love this game, I wish they could give new players a better start to make the game a little more fair and if they could regulate the drops so you could get one per 10 sims per say that would make it a lot better. Also on the subject please up the ship drops so it takes less Tim to max shard ships please that would be awesome . Over all great game great challenges and great people playing . I mean come on you think I would pass up a chance to hang with awesome Star Wars fans like me come on ! Join the fray! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. Se you there.Version: 0.25.0

Becoming a nuisanceThis game was great up until the last few months where the Revan meta killed the game. Now they’ve struggled to keep the game bug-free and have cancelled the Malak event twice. Not how you do business. Save yourself and go play something else..Version: 0.17.1

By all means play but do not spend money on this gameFirstly the good: There is a lot compelling about this game. I have been playing for years and have enjoyed many aspects of it - particularly the social side of joining a guild. Now the bad: It’s not really a great game - if it wasn’t for the Star Wars IP I would have given it up long ago. There is a lot of needless repetition and every single part is designed around monetisation rather than enjoyment. It is most definitely ‘free to play, pay to win’ and the amount you could spend is staggering. Seriously, the cost of in-game purchases is eye-watering. However, you don’t have to be suckered in and can have a lot of fun without spending anything. Just be prepared for everything to take a LOT longer. Then the worst: The customer support is abysmal. No real surprise as it’s Capital Games and EA. There are a number of known bugs in the game that can cause crashes - for example in the event for the premier character (one of the ‘Galactic Legends’). These can cost you in-game resources and be immensely frustrating. Customer support will not even acknowledge there is a problem (despite it being on the official forums) and offer nothing in compensation - not even a return of the ‘tickets’ you have had to spend days collecting. Where they could score simple wins with a bit of ‘good will’ they instead double-down on denying everything..Version: 0.28.1

Used to be good, now pay to win over topI’ve played for a few years. Used to love it. But now every new hero and expansion are getting more and more impossible to get unless you spend hundreds of dollars on the game. Uninstalled after 2-3 years of play. Don’t waste your time/money.Version: 0.17.0

Better have some spare time!Interesting how much time that can be spent playing this game. Pricing is rediculous. New characters getting introduced too often and it takes so long to gear them up to the point that they are any use.Version: 0.15.0

Mo money mo problemsThis game is problematic on many fronts. The biggest one being the pay to play which is constantly shoved in your face in the form of annoying advertisements trying to get your money. Also because you will get to a point after playing the game for a few days where you hit a wall that only paying for will fix. I don’t believe that all these reviews are for real either, this game is boring and half the time you don’t even do anything but auto attack so I doubt many people like it for anything other than the fact that it’s got the Star Wars theme. Ever since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars it’s just been one money grab after another and this game shows it at the most extreme way..Version: 0.13.0

Still major improvements that haven’t been fixedI’ve had this game pretty much since the launch and I’m going to start by saying it’s not changed one bit it still PAY TO PLAY. Also, there are many draw backs in the game like to stay up to date with characters and the next latest and greatest you have to pretty much use your own money to get there which is why I’ve given it 4/5 stars. As for the characters you get a pretty vast array of Star Wars characters from the Star Wars universe which is likeable (more characters are needed though). The BIG issue with this game is the way the servers work for example the servers are judged on when you started the game, so that being said if you don’t go on the game for a month or so people who joined the same time as you but progress dramatically, you’ll struggle in the game and will not be able to compete with them. For the next update I would suggest putting people in servers with people with the same galactic power, rather than people who have a much higher galactic power then you making it pretty much impossible to compete with. Also a suggestion for new characters could be Inferno Squad from the console games. All in all a good game but major work needs still needs to be improved for player and game experience. Stop with all the pay to play nonsense. Listen to the Reviews Capital Games improve the drop rates for all gear and character shards..Version: 0.19.1

Really Disappointed PurchaseI was really enjoying this game until I spent 1299 crystals on getting the Darth Sion “special” that was advertised, only to get a pathetic 10 shards for him! Why advertise something that says you get up to 330 shards when you only get 10! Not happy at all and will probably not be playing this anymore..Version: 0.11.0

Feels like a second job because it’s not that fun anymoreI’ve been playing this game since Christmas 2015. The game came out in November 2015. It was fun at first which is what game should be like but over time, the developer didn’t really release fun new content so it was more of the same since the beginning and so the game has become stale for me. Recently, the developer released what they consider as fun new content but again, it’s the same grind with a new face on it. Also, the new content requires players to spend more time in the game and if you don’t, you can fall behind. Many long time players such as myself are planning to quit or have already quit because of it. I understand that the grind is part of the game but when the payoff is so little compared the time spent in the game, it becomes more of a chore and therefore a second job. I really wanted this new content to be fun and exciting but it simply wasn’t. It feels like the new content is still in beta. Also, in-app purchases are ridiculous. I would have spent more money on this game if it was worth it but if you have played the game as long as I have, you’ll know it’s simply not worth the price. It’s too bad. This game had high potential to be an awesome game. It still has but not in it’s current form. It’s current form is “pay to win” and not “play for fun”..Version: 0.9.0

It’s good but it could be betterI think that the game is really good, but I just get really frustrated at the new mandolorian packs I have used up over ten thousand gems and still have not got the shards I need to upgrade the mandalorian to the next star (5 stars ) because in the journey event for the mandalorian (bescar armour) I need all my heroes 7 stars. I worked really hard to get those gems and I don’t want to have to spend countless days possibly weeks just so I can have the same amount of gems as I had before. Sadly this is making me want to delete the game so if it is not too much trouble then can you refund me my 10,000 gems and as a little bonus, enough shards to upgrade my mandalorian squad to 7 stars. If you receive this it would mean a lot if you could do that for me. Thanks for reading this review..Version: 0.31.5

Uneven gameplayI really enjoy this game. I started playing this game about two and half months ago, and I’ve been hooked. I can’t help my self coming back. The turn based gameplay is really fun, and I enjoy collecting the characters. I also enjoy leveling those characters up. I can’t help myself trying to play everyday to get the daily reward. That being said there’s some major issues. This game is huge pay to win. That doesn’t bother me much, but it gets boring fighting the same squad. There’s also an issue with overpowered characters. I had to sit and watch a battle for about 10 minutes because Kylo Ren was way to powerful for my full squad. It was just Kylo Ren (LV 70) fighting a full squad that were level 50 mind you that couldn’t defeat him because every time I attack he healed twice as much than the damage the squad was doing. This literally went back and fourth until Kylo’s life dwindled down, which like I said took nearly 10 minutes. After three minutes I had to recorded because it was very ridiculous. Another moment like this happened awhile ago before this in which one character wiped out my whole roster of characters. Which had to be a little over 30 characters. All in all it’s really a fun game, but some characters need to be nerfed or balanced..Version: 0.23.0

Arena is broken, game is reparativeI have played this game for two years and would not recommend to any new players. Legendary events are hard to obtain the new character if you haven’t wasted time and resources farming characters you won’t use except to obtain a broken OP character, that you only get a week to prepare for. Then, depending on your time zone and the number of players in your arena shard, you could get lucky and not have to share payout with anyone allowing you to get first every day with no contest, OR, like me, you could get stuck in a highly competitive, highly saturated payout time and end up having to pay to keep up with guild mates in other time zones that don’t have to share payout with anyone. Plus top tier arena teams are basically just filled with legendary, hard to obtain, characters, OR new characters that are only obtainable by spending $100’s on. And if you spend enough at the right time, they will award high spending players with an additional 20,000 gems just for taking a new, pay to play, character to 7* once released. If it wasn’t for the brotherhood I have formed with my guild mates traversing over multiple games, I would have quit this long ago. Not to mention, when I opened a support ticket the no-reply email said someone would call within 30 minutes, but 2 hours later when EA finally called me, the foreign rep said he couldn’t hear me, even tho I had full bars, and said he would call right back he never did..Version: 0.9.0

Cheaters never prosper... or do they.Don’t know if I’ve ever written a review for an app before but had to speak up here. Been playing for years and been through many ups and downs but the recently exposed cheating debacle and the very poor treatment of those who are trying to make the game better by exposing it is just too much. I’m standing by to drop this game..Version: 0.16.2

Typical pay to win gameYou can play and enjoy this game as free to play. That being said, the balance of the characters and ships are a complete joke. Every few months a new character/ship or both come out that are miles better than any others currently in the game. As frustrating as that may be, it would be tolerable if it were possible to get them relatively soon without paying large amounts of money, to grind out the requirements(the requirements being to gather certain other new characters/ships that have requirements). The end result is you have a few players who have paid 100s or even 1000s of dollars to compete at the highest level against others who have paid 100s or 1000s, while the rest of the player base who have invested just as much time (over a year for me) have literally no chance of competing against the others in their shard. The stuff that has been a problem since the beginning of the game are still a problem. The only things that change are new, game breaking, unattainable, characters come every few months with a hefty price to gather the first time around. The game design is cool and the fact that it has the Star Wars name makes it fun to play but its unfortunate that it has become so obviously and blatantly a pay to win game..Version: 0.14.1

Don’t download this game as your love of Star Wars will endI downloaded this App a few years ago as I love Star Wars. It was great and fun to be able to develop your favourite most loved characters and see them battling their fateful enemies; be it Jedi V Sith or Rebels V Empire. It was so much fun. Recently though the fun has gone. The fun has gone because it has all become about money for the developers. Plain and simple. They bring out new characters before you have chance to develop the latest most recent new characters and then in order to stay ahead of the curve you have to pay and pay and pay. The only people who benefit are the guilds that have all the high powered teams. The little guys lose out and the only winners are the developers as they line their pockets and take the fun out of Star Wars. So, in closing, Look else where, as you will not be rewarded for your loyalty and you will only become disillusioned and realise you have put far too much time into an app for very little reward..Version: 0.12.1

Money Grabbing DevelopersSTAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME! This game is the best mobile game I've played, love it. But at the same time it is just so horrifically frustrating. It all boils down to money. You can buy new characters for around £400.....yes, that's right £400. There's well over 100 characters too. It's an absolute disgrace. You can play for free but you get punished in so many ways it's just a disgusting way to design a game. I'll bet credit card fraud is absolutely rife within this game. I've seen so many people quit this game through utter frustration with nothing to do with the game. I think EA found the perfect games company to produce for them here, what a horrible bunch of people to come up with such tactics to pry our money and time away from us. It becomes like an addiction, just stop the download right now and delete. CAPITAL GAMES....Instead of reworking characters over time because you have no idea how balancing works, try reworking your less than 3% drop rates for everything you pitiful excuse for a games company. Here comes Disney to take your licence away. Ha! Ha! Ha!.Version: 0.10.1

CrashesGame crashes all the time if u like reloading the game all the time this game is for you.Version: 0.10.0

Games Fun, Loading page is Broken.Alright, I have to be honest. The game is fun but not until the recent issues I’ve received with it. What happens is that you’re stuck on the Loading Cantina session of the screen and it’ll be stuck forever, I’ve waited for over 30 minutes and it still hasn’t come back. What this results to is people deleting your game because I, and other people (I’m sure you have experienced this issue before) can’t even get into the game, sure if it was a “Oh Cantina broken” issue but you could actually get in the game that would be better but you can’t even get in the game anymore. The events are sometimes unfair which means its minus a star already, Arena is completely broken, they don’t allow you to cycle through too much enemies and theres always a Phoenix Squad in one. The highest rank on your Arena page will not change unless it autos itself. Minus another star. Finally, we have this issue that doesn’t even let you get in the game. Therefore, that is another minus star and yeah I had fun playing it but if the Developers don’t see the reviews, then next week this problem will spread to everyone else in this community and next week, don’t wonder why your Apps Downloaded have decreased so much, and overtime, no one will play your game and this game will or might be removed off of the Editor’s Choice apps..Version: 0.20.0

Analdt101This game is going down hill, content creators are getting banned, more money grabbing techniques are coming to light and nothing new has been brought to the table or changed, Shame on you capital games and your lack of care for the community at large, soon enough everyone will be moving on because your driving this once great game into the dirt.Version: 0.19.2

AwfulI've been playing for years. Sucked in by paying to win and slowly watched how unbalanced and boring it has become. Boring raids, toons and ships you can never level up due to the low rates of farming drops. If you don't believe me just look at the PVE 5E normal ship fight. It is the most ridiculous one sided, broken mess and it has been since launch. Never fixed. Typical of this game. So over it. Sure, use the free toons, grind them out for years until you also see how unbalanced this casino machine really is..Version: 0.12.1

Blatant money grabbingPlayed since launch, think I’m calling it quits, i can’t afford to play the game, it’s purely pay to win, no skill, just pure cash is all that’s needed, farmable gear that’s needed has slowly moved to crystal/cash only purchase, awful blatant money scam, no matter how much you love Star Wars this game will taint it through pure greed, don’t download don’t start playing, unless you can spend a few hundred quid a week, hateful and distasteful in its openness for taking money, and even if you spend that much a week, don’t expect to be good for long they’ll bring out the next meta before you’ve finished the previous, and if you want the new one you WILL have to spend, EA games, it’s in the bank! And please don’t pay attention to the fake reviews below left by staff saying it’s not pay to win lol pathetic, I also find it funny that the 5 star review on the game page is old, and all the recent one star reviews are not visible, and the 5 star review is apparently the most helpful..... despite not having a way to vote for a review in the App Store?? How exactly did that years old 5 star review get voted as the most helpful??.Version: 0.15.0

Typical EAThe only reason this game is any good is because of the subject that they base it off of which of course is Star Wars, otherwise it’s another typical EA attempt at money grabbing. The grind is long and tedious to get to max level as starting player unless you pay for a fast pass to max level which is $100. Getting relevant end game characters and teams requires leveling specific toons to accomplish missions that are rigged to be more difficult so you have to spend more time strengthening the required rooms. Look it up, missions to unlock special characters are rigged with bugs and unfair rng numbers. They do this to take advantage of impatient people so they’ll spend more to hear and strengthen characters faster. Afterwards, the characters required for the mission are often not useful for any other end game content or pvp meta. Content is pretty dry and bland with hardly any new content added, if they do it is something only for high paying guilds of whale players (note light side geonosian territory wars). Also customer service is awful! If you ever require any sort of service that requires more than a few emails, expect to get a reply from a totally different person the next day asking you to re-explain your issue. They’ll do this over and over again, running you in circles till you basically give up (I have easily over 50 emails with customer service over one incident)..Version: 0.20.40

The game is alright but...Of course with all free games it's definitely got that pay 2 win aspect going on. Don't get me wrong I haven't spent a dollar on the game so far and I'm level 57, but I do feel like I'm missing out on a lot of aspects, like challenges and special events, because I don't have the characters or resources to do them. In order to get the most out of this game you're going to HAVE to either pay or wait until your maxed, and getting to max without paying is going to take a looooong time. Word of advice for new players or even current players: DO NOT ever buy the data card packs with your gems. They're rigged and I'll share my personal experience with you real quick. Trying to get my mother Talzin character to 4 stars a few weeks ago I bought the clan mother pack which has a chance of dropping anywhere between 5-330 shards for her, I only needed fifteen. I got 7, I was incredibly angry, but I thought it was just bad luck. Today, saving up enough gems again to purchase it, bought it again like an idiot, and this time you know what I got? 5. I got 5 shards for her, the minimum amount you can get. So out of those two data card packs I got 12 out of a possible 660 shards, you tell me that isn't some fishy BS. Oh and those two combined were worth over 2000 gems and I still wasn't able to get my mother talzin to four stars. Like I said the pay 2 win aspect is pretty moderately pressed on you in this game but it's still alright..Version: 0.9.0

Lost it’s lusterI’ve been playing this game for a few years. It was fun getting new characters and getting occasional new content. It feels like they are running out of ideas. The upper levels are either paid for or a very long grind. I saw one reviewer compare it to FarmVille and they aren’t far off the mark. If you like spending hundreds of dollars to get ahead or you have lots of time to waste and don’t need to be competitive, this game could be ok for you..Version: 0.17.1

Game is getting worse and worseCG (Capital Games) does not care about this game whatsoever.

P2W HEAVY, No communication, Devs openly Lie!It’s still bugs me that Star Wars force collection shut down for this to replace it. Star Wars force collection was a much better game and wasn’t heavy on p2w like this game, with time and a few accounts you could keep up with krakens in that game shame that galaxy of hero’s is anti f2p I hope we get a more f2p friendly Star Wars mobile game again in the future! Also game devs that actually communicate and care about theirs community something cg hasn’t done well for a couple of years now and is just getting worse on both those fronts. I really hope this game dies sooner rather than later so we fans can get a Star Wars mobile game we can be proud of again! My prediction is this game has 12-18 months left it won’t make it to the next Star Wars film in 2022 so my advice is if you are coming back or new player don’t spend a penny and wait for a new Star Wars collection based mobile game to pop up as when one dies another rises from the ashes and hope the next one isn’t developed by Capital Games!!!.Version: 0.19.2

Why play a game just to be frustrated? Ain’t fun!Originally a great game, which sadly went downhill and now the developer are simply creating content that is so hard it becomes frustrating to play the game - or else you just give up and don’t get the rewards. This started in galactic challenges, which are so random that lucky (or loads and loads of money) are required to get through them, and is now leaking into other parts of the game. Their last addition - Datacrons - require a huge monetary investment or else you are behind others, and not by a little, but so substantially that you cannot win in PvP (which is the critical part of the game to get the stuff you need to build... not in the early stages, but by mid to late game for sure). So you could spend but Datacrons have a huge “random” aspect so you might not get the best roll, therefore not get the best one, and anyone you face who was luckier than you, will roll you. To top it off, they expire after 3 months, so their goes all your time and money down the drain... so do you spend, just to be frustrated, or try to do the normal “events” and be frustrated, or do you go find a game that is fun and the developers add content to keep you having fun... after all, isn’t that the aim of playing games?.Version: 0.29.2

Galaxy of HeroesNot to happy about not being able to open the game since the latest update tells you to open a new client and directs you to the the update in the App Store and then when you open it the front page comes up again but never loads any further.Version: 0.12.1

Money hungry developersUnfortunately this game is only held back by the greed of its developers, the randomness of item drops is extremely unforgiving and it seems the best characters are soft locked behind pay walls otherwise it can take up to 6 months of f2p to unlock certain characters. The cost of item packs in the game is absolutely appalling! $180 for a couple of upgrade materials, how can you possibly justify charging more than 2 full price ps5 games for a few measly upgrade items? I can’t believe the audacity and blatant disregard for the player base. It’s a real shame as it has great gameplay and a great community, if the developers didn’t care so much about making money and taking the players for a ride I think it could be much better. If it wasn’t for the player base I would have uninstalled this game a year ago. I just wish the developers would stop testing the players like a joke..Version: 0.28.1

Good but p2wThe game is pretty fun and I have been grinding on it for several months (10 or so). Like all the “free” games, it’s pay-to-win. That aspect isn’t overwhelming, but I have definitely hit a plateau where I really can’t win in the Galactic March or Squad Arena because I don’t have enough firepower. I also can’t advance to some of the Challenges, Events, or Ship battles because there is no way to advance further without buying packages. The jump in difficulty from tier-to-tier or level-to-level is such that you get completely stuck unless you pay. The fact that most of the packs have “chances” to gain shards, ships, and gear means you will likely spend money to get mediocre stuff instead of the things you actually need. The exception, of course, is the Hyperspace Bundle, which guarantees all sorts of cool stuff. There are two catches to that. First, I am afraid that having all of that might make me too overpowered (except against other players who also bought it) and remove some of the fun. Second, the Hyperspace Bundle is $100! That’s a ridiculous amount of money. I might be willing to pay $20 or $30 to get a bunch of guaranteed stuff, but $100 is ludicrous. Really, the F2P, but P2W (or even have a competitive chance after a certain point) gets frustrating. Apparently, there are enough people willing to shell out that kind of money. For my money, I prefer to buy a large-scale PC game like Civ that I can actually master and play for years..Version: 0.19.2

Full of Anti-Consumer PracticesThe only reason this game is still around is because of the Star Wars IP. The last 18 months has seen no increase in content—only increases to gear systems or replacing moderate content with re-skinned harder content to promote buying gear upgrades. Their entire raison d’être seems to be to wring as much money as they can out of people with gambling addictions. Beware!.Version: 0.17.1

Great, but...Awesome game! Best ever, except... Money. Yes, to beat even a few battles later in the cantina, you have to literally spend hundreds of dollars. Gems are kind of hard to get, and cards for characters cost lots and lots of gems. Have a deep wallet prepared, years of work, and a SECOND deep wallet, because this game was designed to strip you of all your money..Version: 0.16.3

Money GrabBeen playing this game a long time. It’s becoming more and more of a money grab and to even compete requires spending a lot of money. If you are just starting out now, do not expect any of the end game characters for at least the first year of your time..Version: 0.15.0

Game use to be fun and excitingThis game is no longer fun for me or my friends anymore we find that people that have paid to play, owe this game and you can’t Compete as a free to play player you’ll never catch up you’ll never beat them as every day that goes by, they only get stronger and you cannot. Even at this point if you were to start today it would take you years to get to the end game content. The developers seem to only care about the money rather than the player. I hate how this game has turned this way it used to be so much fun and enjoyment. Now it’s nothing more than a disappointment.Version: 0.17.0

Cash grabI have played this game for nearly 4 years and it was great at the start but it 100% pay to win these days and in no way F2P friendly. The game is so stale and the developers are so out of touch with the community. the new content is rubbish and the ban one of their best content creator’s account. If you do download it and start playing don’t spend a cent for 2 reasons. A: you will never catch up to the end game at the point. B: you probably won’t get any longevity in the game as ea seems to be shutting all Star Wars game servers down. The game has become a cash grab preying on a loyal community who are the only reason it is still around. I hope CG has nothing to do with the next swgoh..Version: 0.19.2

Fun 80% of the time, rigged 20% of the timeThe game’s been developed very well, so much so that many attributes deserve 5 stars. However, you also run into a very rigged process that very blatantly sets the player up for failure. It is VERY much the “pay-to-succeed” system, the twin of the “pay-to-play” mentality. And I can appreciate the fact that it’s a product designed to make money and the business needs to generate revenue, but most of the packages cost just as much as console or PC games (many of which you don’t need to pay anything to succeed). And to make matters worse, these expensive packages only promise the off-chance that you might get something useful. It’s a joke if you think anyone would spend that kind of money when they could easily go to Walmart and by literally anything else- particularly a video game this is actually immersive (don’t forget...this game will only ever be a smart phone application). Sure, there are cheap packages, but these are a complete waste of money. It doesn’t matter how cheap something is: if it doesn’t offer something even remotely useful, it’s a waste of money. These simple and tremendous flaws completely subvert all of the developers’ efforts to create what would otherwise be a very well-made game (hence the 2-star rating instead of 5-stars), and make all the time spent on the app (which can be significant) feel like nothing more than a waste of time..Version: 0.19.1

Waste of my timeI have spent so much time and effort on this “game” I am 5/8 of the way to the last levels and I still have almost nothing and the levels take way too long to level up through. The energy system cuts me off from being able to get the rest of the way to the top. Constantly getting bombarded with package adds like “$80 to get a couple people from that one series a long time ago” No kidding their packs are the only way to advance practically and they cost more than a great console game. Classic EA trash In the next update they’ll probably start putting up paywalls to look around All those people saying it’s ftp friendly are liars or ignorant. Years and Years is what you need to get anywhere. Only good thing is that there are no adds because the cheapest micro transactions are still usually over $30.Version: 0.27.5

Great game, ruined by Pay To Win and EAs greed as a companySadly ever since I started there was a Pay To Win element, however, the game itself is good and there is frequent updates... however, they make updates so they can rake in more money... this is a very noticeable feature within the game, you can tell who is P2W and who isn’t, because they bring in characters who are counters to other very strong characters but you have to purchase packs... then a few weeks later, when that character is seen as an overpowered feature, they release a new character... even stronger... but yet again, I hope your willing to buy packs to get it... If there was less divide between the P2W players and the F2P I’d rate this game 5* but I doubt EA understands the concept of being able to play a game and gain achievements without a credit card being used, so I doubt this will happen....Version: 0.10.1

Recent MALAKgateCG allowed players to collect shards when players shouldn’t have....this created an environment of all players (those who spent and those who didn’t) feeling cheated. Purchases were already VERY overpriced. Paying leaves me dissatisfied and playing leaves me unhappy..Version: 0.17.1

Do you have what it takes?A LOT of money, will get you nowhere. They make it seem like this is the way but being that you can only purchase whatever promotion they are pimping out at the time...this "game" (hardly) is a waste of time. These good reviews? Nonsense. I have been playing this game since it started and I can tell you that us daily players, play this begrudgingly. It is an addiction, plain and simple. You can not compete with the whales. Go check out the smart ones who are attempting to sell their accounts, more power to them. I predict that this will go the way of all apps that started with a good formula then got greedy, and dive head first into total pay to play, (they are close already), where you can buy what you want, when you want. I know several "free to play" people in game and they have all of the same stuff as the whales, it just takes longer, that's why you will never win. The moment something is released, the whales have it, and will humiliate you with it. I have spent so much of my time and money on this game (you're welcome) and I really get nothing from it but instant gratification, I suppose. But I refuse to fork over $300-$500 bucks like the whales. You would think that maybe, since I have spent money, that the RNG would maybe "favor" me now and again...NOPE. RNG gives you squat, so you buy. It is a vicious cycle. Do yourself a favor, just walk away. I hate this stupid app..Version: 0.9.0

Needs revisionI’ve been playing this game for near three years now. It has been my go to game. However, it’s becoming quite stacked. Beginning game is fun and quick to progress with tons of characters. But, the mid to late game is crap. PVP events are next to hopeless if you don’t spend money on the game in order to obtain gear to match that of other players. The legendary events for “legendary” characters are ridiculously difficult. You need to be in a guild if you want to progress at normal speed to obtain better gear or earn certain “legendary” characters. You shouldn’t be forced to be in a guild if you want to progress. Guilds are touchy and usually led by folks who take this game way too seriously. Guilds requiring use of discord or requiring mandatory participation in all events is absurd. I’ve been in guilds that require you run all incoming “absences” or be kicked. As if this game should require you to call out like you would for a work shift. All characters should be available to be recruited like normal for everyone. And, legendary events should not be as difficult as they have become. If the “legendary” character is that good to begin with then you shouldn’t have to quadruple the attacking rate of the AI team. App games are meant to be casual mini-games. Everything should be equally accessible and leveled starting field for players of all levels. Beginning, mid, late game...it shouldn’t be this stacked against everyone who doesn’t obsess about the game..Version: 0.18.1

Stay awayThis game is not fun. It’s just addictive. Higher ups, either at Capital Games or EA itself, has proven that they don’t give two flying $&@/$ about players; oh unless they dish out thousands of dollars a month on this game. And that is not anywhere close to an understatement, that’s how much people actually spend. It will literally take you YEARS to get some characters unlocked, and then several months after that to even get close to maxing them with gear and relics. It’s been pay 2 win for a long time with a free 2 play option, but you’re basically signing up for a life of frustration and feeling like you’re performing a chore rather than a game. Even after all of that, I didn’t have enough of a problem to write a review. But then the Great Nerf came, and characters we love - specifically for me, Darth Vader - were absolutely pulverized. All to make sure CG’s babies - their GLs - could function the way they wanted so they could milk more money from people whaling to get them. But now, my teams can’t stand up to cake walks that they used to be able to easily handle. Teams that don’t even have a galactic legend. I was by no means a whale before this, but I’m completely done with giving them anymore of my money for this billion dollar game. If you’re looking to play, just know what you’re getting yourself into, and I hope you’re either prepared for years of slow grinding and chores, or you have tens of thousands of dollars burning a hole in your pocket..Version: 0.25.0

Greed and how it ruins a great game.As a player of over 5 years it pains me to give 1 star review to something I’ve devoted a lot of time and a fair amount of money to. The game in the beginning is great fun, lots to do, great characters to get and teams to build. As you play though you can with patience do quite well but don’t expect as a F2P player to be at the top of the game. One of the great things is finding the right guild and having the support of other like minded people who can help you along the way, I’ve been in 3-4 great guilds over the years. Now the problem, this is a multi billion dollar revenue mobile game and over the last 6 months the lack of care taken over characters and content has made many players including myself question what we keep playing. Conquest when released and even after the first changes was a good game mode now it’s one I can’t be bothered to play as the recent changes are are money grab. One of the best characters in Star Wars comes (new maul) and CG puts him behind a huge paywall, making him virtually inaccessible to normal players and even some spenders. Not forgetting that the changes to conquest are bugged so there’s no point playing it right now anyway. Nerfs, poorly tested updates, paywalls and a massive middle finger to the average player. Start the game if you want but any money spent will most likely be wasted in the long run..Version: 0.25.0

An unlimited trash heap feeding a dumpster fire.As per title..Version: 0.17.3

Cash cowOh come on! Going back a few years you’d pay a fiver for a game and that was that. Nowadays these companies like EA are totally fleecing people. It’s a disgrace. Yes...you can play this game for free and theoretically unlock all characters and boost to max levels, but I estimate it would take at least 2 years and that’s playing to full allowance every single day. Due to this EA can get away with the loop hole of it being a ‘free’ game. The cost if you pay is astronomical...and what you get for your money is pathetic, added to the fact that your returns are based on chance where the odds are akin to winning the lottery! You could spend literally £1000’s and still not advance quickly. The whole pay in app thing needs to be regulated. It’s all too easy to pay in a second via your fingerprint...Like gambling I guarantee people are getting in to financial troubles over games like this. It’s a shame, fundamentally it’s a good game..Version: 0.15.0

Do better CG!Just yesterday capital games, the devs, implemented some changes to characters because they where able to beat characters that where extremely expensive to get. They went and made those nerfed characters unable to beat those characters, but took a step further and made them essentially unusable. Not just has this negatively impacted the games meta, it has also made a lot of other investments worthless and cg hasn’t refunded the resources used in those characters to drop them to level 1 because they’re not good anymore. We play this game because we like Star Wars, but time and time again CG refuse to do anything to help the player-base and use pathetic excuses when they do things that help them line their wallets. You’ve made these changes now CG, you’ve made your galactic legends untouchable and ruined conquest, now do something to actually benefit the players for once..Version: 0.25.0

Another stupid STAMINA system gameWhy make a game with stamina system? If you don’t want people to play your game just don’t make it! The whole limit players to play with stamina is just lame..Version: 0.17.0

Could be great!!!This could and would be a great mobile game, if it wasn’t for one problem. Ea are behind it. The sooner use morons lose that star wars contract the better..Version: 0.17.1

Good but…Good game but after levelling up you spend most of your time (for a very VERY long time) doing dailies to get shards for characters which is a relentlessly slow process and the same for gear. This is probably one of the slowest progress games I’ve ever played (and I’ve played a lot) so it’s not for the impatient. The higher you go, the more items you need and from very limited amounts of energy. It’s very much pay to win but the more you spend, the more you’ll need to spend, it’s a very slippery slope and although the odd deal worth paying for does appear, most are not. Definitely one for the whales (BIG spenders) as the packs are so greedy. If you find yourself spending it really never ends and not far in, the more you spend and the less effective that buying becomes. Oh, and don’t get caught out by the probability packs, they are HORRENDOUSLY bad! It’s a shame because other than the extortionate greed the gameplay is very good. Does get a bit monotonous at times because the shard count is so slow but it does make levelling up very satisfying but it’s a rare thing on your main characters as it becomes a serious grind so you spend a lot of time levelling characters you’re hardly ever likely to use. The ships? Don’t get me started on those, safe to say they are the weakest part of the game but unfortunately you’ll need to complete the campaign, you don’t have a lot of choice or you gimp yourself..Version: 0.29.1

Been playing since almost day one…BUTI’ve been playing it since almost day one, I’ve NEVER missed a day since but I’ve gotta say this…. As much as I love the game I also hate it. At times it can be so annoying and drive you up the wall with frustration. The devs need to be replaced with people that actually care about this game and it’s community. It’s the community that makes this game, without it it’ll collapse in on itself. If EA reads this then please tell CG to pull their heads in and start caring about us the players. We love Star Wars and we love this game. If you look after us we will look after you with our continued support. Don’t let the community down. Thanks..Version: 0.29.1

Creators are terribleCreators of this game are terrible and can’t handle criticism and the game itself has turned terrible over the past few years with trash updates coming out.Version: 0.19.2
