What Makes Plants vs. Zombies™ Heroes Stand Out
From the makers of Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 comes the next epic battle between doom and bloom – Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. Build your team of heroes in this courageous collectible card game. Embark on a journey to discover new characters and confront mighty opponents along the way. And, for the first time ever on mobile, play as either plants or zombies. It’s the lawn of a new battle!
COLLECT YOUR HEROES Discover 20 unique plant and zombie heroes, unlock their lawn-inspiring super powers, and choose your favorites based on their signature styles and abilities. Will you pick plants and deploy the masked, sharp-shooting avenger Green Shadow? Or will you choose a zombie hero, like the superbly superficial Super Brainz? Each hero’s unique selection of super powers helps define your team’s winning strategy.

Build yours and diversify your skills by collecting or crafting hundreds of cards – from the PvZ characters you know and love, to daring original plants and zombies. Devise distinct strategies when you select cards compatible with your hero, and experiment with devastating combos. Use the Deck Builder to quickly construct winning decks, try out strategies, and upgrade your decks as you collect and craft characters.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a fun, cool game where you get to defeat zombies/plants! 10/10 would recommend! But we accidentally pressed Recycle when we got The Great Zucchini very sad! But still would recommend.
Happened after current update 11/17/2025 !please fix it.
This is a good game with a choice to play as zombies or plants, the game has hero who summon plantszombies to fight for them. If your hero loses twenty HP the opposing player wins. Also there are no ads.
Full of strategy, high quality animation, and tons of personality though that PvZ charm.
We need to uninstall and reinstall it for clearing about 400 Mb caches- extra once versions caches as it was there still when we download the new updated contents.
The dancing pack said event and super was 50%! So, HOW COME we JUST GOT UNCOMMONS.
We love plants versus zombies and plants versus zombies. Heroes was genuinely one of the last good plants versus zombies titles to come out but now with the new updates, things became severely unbalanced like fig transfiguration, sun shroom and the unshakable buff just make the game very unbalanced and often favors the plant side though ironic quote from the debs the plants still do feel a bit lackluster. And now with a new ranking update that they added its nothing but these broken decks and we just cant take it anymore. We really dont know how they expect to try to draw in new players by forcing them to face against busted game mechanics. The ads were already bad enough, especially when you lose then it makes you watch an ad! What was once a decently balance game has now evolved into a paid to win strategy grind. Its very upsetting that Bobcat consistently continues to ruin their own games because of EA or some scum bag within pop cap.
If you use nibble on the cactus that explodes when defeated the game will freeze up on that turn.
We love the game because its just so good and so much fun and love it and its so perfect and we have all of the heroes cause Im just like that and we have all of the legendarys because Im like that and to good Im level 50 and we play this game for a long time.
Can tater toss beat space cowboy pls. Good game, reward challenges sometimes arent winnable. Cards are craftable and recyclable. Packs>.
This game we've been playing since launch, but it's been so long since we've had a proper update… We hope to see new cards and new heroes soon! We'd also like to mention once we got a new phone it logged us out of our account and instead of giving an option to log in immediately when loading the game (vs starting a new one) we were forced to play the ENTIRE tutorial as if we don't know this game like the back of our hand by now… It was very frustrating. Wasted tons of potential online battle time.
Please PVZ we beg of you as a long time player and supporter, ADD in game pre determined optional emotes or messages to taunt your opponent. It would make it so much more interesting when turning the tides on your opponent while they sre confident. Please think of a way.
Good games but takes forever to get all the cards.
This game is so fun and cool but who cares about bonus cards people are saying they dont work but they are only bonuses and more people should really play this game we have been playing since we were 4 and they should really make a number 2 with cool things added to it.
Every 2 months or so we get this stupid game crash thing and since we have so much progress if we delete it we wont be able to play again and this time we cant fix it please help, tell us why about 5 months ago we had to start turning of our internet to go in the game.
Great game but no sound Ive deleted and redownloaded but still no sound frustrating.
We are in a romantic relationship with Solar Flare we cant get her off our mind every day we play this we think of her we talk to her though our phone even though she doesnt respond we know she love us deep down. Now time to go back to gooning.
Ads used to be optional. Now they appear every three matches you do. Nice job, sellouts.
Buff z mech with his ability will spawn a imp in every lane that will have 3 damage and 3 health.
We are trying convince our dumb friends to get this really fun game so we cane play together but they are all just playing brawl stars like a bunch of nut suckers! Guys help us convince them and stop their reign of autism please guys we need u – liam.
Thanks for still updating the game after all these years, we put this up there with Clash Of Clans keep up the great work.
EA please keep adding more sets and balancing this game. Its almost as if EA dislikes money the way they stopped updating this game (except for the one janitor they have working on it – your services are appreciated).
We love Pvz heroes we have been playing since we were 8 years old and have been playing it since the game is filled with rng but also. A great experience but its hard to play as a new player but otherwise its a great experience.
When your opponent plays a galactic cactus and then you use a nibble on the cactus to destroy it, it freezes the game and wont let you continue. This has happened to us 3 times now. Please fix it. Another thing is that it is pretty hard to get new cards. It would be great if you guys added like an extra game mode or some more missions in order to get sparks for new cards. Lastly, it takes way too long to get more missions. If you guys added maybe more missions or gave it a shorter cooldown, people would play more.
We love this game but their is an op combo thats really powerful because if you did not know their is a force field environment thats their permanent and what it dose is op it protects a plants from taking damage and if you pair it with a plant that takes damage for you you become invincible developers please do something like remove the force field or make so it only works for one turn please.
Its not letting us past the tutorial not sure why its doing that. But overall great game! Kinda wish we had the choice to go on the zombies side. Again, we cant quite get past the tutorial since the game wont let us.
There is no intensive carrot and we cannot get any heroes we opened to premium packs and the best thing we got was a super rare:( plz help also we CANNOT WIN MANY MULTIPLAYER MATCHES.
We really like this game! The cards and turn base combat are very unique for a pvz game and we wish we could get the plant or zombie heroes faster by getting more gems and we today we get on there and nothing works we restarted our phone nope its not working. So please fix this problem but other than that its a great game.
The game is fun and all, except for the occasional impossible challenges. Like the point of the game is to have a strategy that works, not one that doesnt.
You need to add more plants and zombies and plants and zombies heroes should be able to use cards in every class even if they arent part of that class. We like Super Brainz. By the way, we're more of a fan of zombies than plants, but we do think zombie heroz should be Nerfed. Because when you are a plant why are they so powerful? Please have the chance for plant and zombie heroes in the expensive packs.
This game is great, but the balancing is situational. First of all, plants most of the time cannot counter whatever tricks the zombies throw at you. One second you have a solid defense, and the next they throw an unbalanced trick that wipes them all out and forces you to lose. Most of the boss fights are reasonable except for level 75. Immortica with 3 of those ghost zombies that give amphibious ghosts when they die, PLUS 25 MAX HP JUST SCREAMS UNBALANCED. And even then, youre unable to open packs quickly because 1 pack costs 100 gems, and your quests only give 30 gems MAX. And if you want all 3 quests back, you need to wait a solid 8 hrs or so, unless you wanna pay, which is what the game wants you to do.
One of our favorite games but level 168 for the zombies feels impossible.
Had played this game for a while now. At first, it seemed unpleasant when we first started out, frequently being defeated by veteran players in PvP mode and sometimes the artificial intelligence random battle portion of the plant/zombie missions (story mode some players might call it). Anyway, after a lot of grinding for gems and recycling for better cards, it seems we were eventually able to build a decent deck that seems to be able to take on average players. We guess we dont really have anything to complain about. Seems like the developers worked out most of the balancing problems, at least for the hero we play as since we dont exactly win too much nor lose too much either. Seems mostly up to the player how they put their deck togetherthough they will need to do a lot of diligent daily grinding to get caught up (though we guess micro-transactions for gems also work if they want to skip the grinding process). They just need to find the hero class that fits their card gameplay preference.
P2w if u wanna play online casual and/or ranked cause most people spend money to get better cards.
Immortica involves no strategy, only luck. For some reason she can spawn a 2:2 with hunt with one brain. Or summon 2:3 Zombats for one on water. The only starter that has water is Peashooter and Cattails are 3 Sun for 3:2. Get ready to get stuck on Zone 6 or 7.
The game is a bit TO hard becaeuse when Im doing the mini events we always get the plant having one heart(which makes us so mad). And we havent gotten new heros in YEARS! So we also want to say this(mini tips too!): 1: ALWAYS start with any plant(or zombie) that has a lot of health for protecting your weaker allies. 2: make sure to spend your given money wisely you could get a better ally instead of a normal one. 3: make sure to use the power-ups when your opponent is low or has a weak shield. Hope this 3 tips help(if not thats ok you can always try again!). Have fun planting or zombieing! – Astro.
Ive played against 2 blatant cheaters (usernames gob79120 and xXmoredefxX) who found a way to edit their decks to have >4 copies of a card type (to the point where they only had a couple unique cards). Maybe Im missing it, but we didnt see a report button in game, and the ea website requires you to make an account. Other than that, we like the gameplay a lot, although progression (getting new cards/gems) can be slow.
We have been playing this game since its release and seeing it get more updates this year has been exciting to see. Although some of the updates have been good, we dont like the fact that quests wont regenerate after looking at the quest log and checking back on the game later. Even when we were given the option to watch an ad to skip the 3-hour timer, it didnt do anything after we watched the ad so we just wasted our time watching an ad for nothing. That annoyed us enough to write a review on this game but other than that the gameplay is good but grind-y to get all the cards you want if youre f2p. We wish the best for the future of this game so we really hope the current development team doesnt push ads any further.
Every time we play as zombies or plants we lose every time. It takes us 2 hours to finally complete them! Thats why we give it a 4 star review. But its still fun to play.
Its a good game just remove the forget us nut it it will be better.
Please add a Sandbox mode to the game. In it you can use all cards but only in this mode. You can also use Heroes you dont have in other modes here. You can play both sides of a battle and select cards from the Collection to add to your hand. You have infinite sun and brains to use freely. We would love it if you would add this so people can test out cards and Heroes.
This game is fun and strategic, and you can play for hours without getting bored. However, if you want the cards that are inherently better than the ones you have, you can bet itll take a year of progress or a stack of cash.
The block meter adds so much rng into the game that its straight up bad game design. At this point we dont even feel good winning 30% of the time because winning from a coin toss feels worthless. Also please add actual rewards to the singleplayer campaign so the game isnt so brutal for new players. Good game tho.
This game is pretty good but it hasnt been updated in soooooo long.
We have been playing this game for a while, and we dislike how now after almost every game you get put into an advertisement they used to only do advertisements for extra tickets for events cards or to get gems.
The Missions Are About Impossible To Beat Theres a Grass Knuckles Boss Battle Mission Thats Extremely Impossible To Beat He emptys Out Your Health very Fast In Like 5 Turns.
This game progresses very fast, which Im fine with. Yet we still have moments where we just want to go crazy. This game intensifies in difficulty very quickly once you approach level one hundred. Its also sometimes a game of luck. When you do matches, you have to rely on luck for what cards you start with. Sometimes you get super expensive cards, which are bad for the beginning, or you could be luck and start with cheap cards. Luck also controls what cards you get from packs, what cards you draw, and what cards you conjure. Maybe levels could possibly be changed to be a little easier. We also think that in the multiplayer matches against other people, you should only be able to go against people that are at the same level as you. Im not saying that PvZ heroes a bad game. Im simply saying that sometimes it can be extremely difficult.
Ive been playing this game for two years now, two months ago we finally got our dream deck, all gargantuars. But we loaded into the game and all of our data was wiped, and we want to know why? Ive spent over $30 bucks on this game and now it and our 2 years of work is gone. Its still a great game, we just want answers. Also now we cant refund the $30 of stuff we had wiped, so thanks a lot.
Ive played this game since it came out, and only now have they added forced unskippable ads after every match. Also, balance updates have caused certain daily challenges to become impossible.
We like the game but we feel like the matchmaking is unbalanced us just starting out we go against people with 3 times as many cards as ours and have been playing for a lot longer which isnt fun when we have to earn gems through quests of PvP. Not to mention zombies are just unbalanced in general how come they can buff their units seven times in one turn? How come they can summon even more units AFTER we defended. Theyre able to summon 8 cards in one turn and also heal half their health. What can we do throw our cards at the wall because we JUST defended their turn just for them to be like Oh that wasnt our actual turn.
