Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is really fun. Helps you focus on something other than life. And we really enjoy that and the story is pretty enjoyable too.
Ive been playing this game for years, love it so much.
Ive only been playing this game for a couple of days, and we cant get enough of it. We really like the credits system in this game, and how you can really overpower your characters early on. Thats pretty much all we have to say so far, we cant wait to see what this game has in store in the coming weeks :).
This game is really good! It just needs an update because once you get the controls it becomes too easy.
Unlike many games that use cards and such to determine the outcome of a battle, Timing Hero grants the player manual control of his/her hero: three ways to dodge, an attack and counter attack, and a special ability, to simulate real time close combat. One other game that we loved that had similar combat mechanics was called Infinity Blade (two dodges, a few methods of attack, etc.). The first Infinity Blade is no longer on the App Store, but the particular type of gameplay that Timing Hero and Infinity Blade offer is what makes them two of our personal favorites.
Its hard to find a mobile game these days that isnt littered with ads but this one has some ads and their pretty short for the most part, but the gameplay is sublime and we get sucked into it for like 2 hours.
We love the game, really good played it a lot on Android. Started a new game today and we beat lvl 10 with our archer but before we could get the reward an ad popped up. The game crashed in the middle of the add so we didnt get our reward for beating the boss. Got our points tho, if anyone can help Id really appreciate it.
We have the paid android app, and have played it for who know how long. Its probably the one app that we never get tired off and always seem to go back to, probably even after we finishing maxing all our heros. Everything about the game is designed well, from the leveling mechanics to the character designs. We feel like the game deserves more :) The nice thing about this version is that there arent as many hackers scores in the leaderboards. But we cant load our saves from android, still good though.
We really like the strategy elements, but Im mostly asking you to get rid of the earth elementals judgement or whatever because every time we have a chance it recovers all of its HP, PLEASE PATCH IT!!! Other then that, fun game.
So this game is really fun and all but it can take weeks to max a character however we found a glitch/bug that gives practically unlimited money. In the game you can watch ads to get extra cash and after a few ads the amount of money that they give you per ad gets a zero adder to it using this we have gotten amounts of money we cant even name. Also if you are on an IPhone you can double tap the home button and the 30 second ad will disappear in about 3 seconds allowing you to grind the ad cash faster.
Best game with timing and RPG mix.
The quality of this game is incredible. It takes one back to time of simpler controls and difficult gameplay. It takes some getting used to but if turn based fighting games that rely heavily on timing are your this we would definitely recommend this game.
We expected this to be a simple mediocre game, but we found ourselves playing for a long time! The 8-bit style music, sprites, and background just flows in nostalgia! The combat is wonderful! Although the timing part does take practice, but truly, a fun game! 5 stars.
Timing Hero is a very simple, yet charming, fast-paced RPG. We personally think these guys nailed it with the gameplay style. At first it's a bit confusing, but after you give it like 5 mins you get the hang of it pretty quickly. We highly recommend it! (Just as a little constructive criticism, maybe the controls could be made to feel a bit smoother.).
This game is a perfect example of simple gameplay that just works! Not sure what medals and honor are used for but o love the RPG elements of the game.
Its a nice solid game simple, but challenging. Helps engage you to practice your timing.
We were told to make this for in game money but we do enjoy it so far.
This game is really good but they should add more things to the game either way we love it.
STOP asking for money after every run. Such an absolute nuissance. If we want to buy your stupid little coins then we will, asking us every 5 minutes is going to DECREASE the likelihood that we will give you money.
Dev Tip: Gameplay first, begging for money second. We went through half an hour of tutorials and four screens of the game begging for money before it finally crashed. Half an hour and didnt even play the game. Poor production and senseless cash grab. Games like this are bringing down the mobile market.
We hope you guy's see this!!!! Please make the monsters in raid to stop using healing aura or anything that heals over time. Apart from that it's a really fun and addicting game.
WHY IS DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE REVIEWS?! This game is amazing! The enemies are really well made and well thought out, the characters are also really cool. It has 3 different game modes! Our friend recommended this to us and well after playing it, we're shocked that we haven't ever seen or heard anything about a game THIS GOOD.
This game is fun to play offline if your bored af. But this game is cool.
This game is fun and addicting and we love the assassin, finally a game gets it right and make the assassin playable in the sense that she dose high damage and critical with low health that's how it's done and they did it very well so if you read this review we just want to say try it because it takes up little room on you phone but is much better than most games on the App Store.
Face paced, user-skilled battle system. Definitely worth spending time on. We like the game and the retro feel to it. This doesn't really deter us from playing the game, but some color would be nice.
This game is very simple a really fun. There are many heroes to unlock and use so you never run out of characters to level. We would suggest the developers add more monsters and levels and an increase of the max attribute level from 200 would also be nice.
