Gear for Heroes – Board Game Review
Gear for Heroes is a Board/Strategy game from Vivid Games S.A., first launched in 3rd February 2020.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 144+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Gear for Heroes Stand Out
To build an empire, you need an army. To field an army, you need weapons and armour. To craft weapons and armour, you need blacksmiths. And to supervise the smiths, we need you.
Train and hire blacksmiths so we can equip our warriors with the best weapons we can craft. As you improve your idle forge, our troops will get epic gear to put in their inventory slots – new armour for health, new swords for attack, new staves for magic.
Is this an RPG? Is this strategy? Is it idle? All three at the same time. Raise your empire by equipping your soldiers, and let them train and raise health while you’re afk. Your blacksmiths will work tirelessly to equip the hero and warriors with epic loot so they can go on mighty quests to forge empires.
Tap to upgrade your smiths and produce better magic gear. Your army will start winning even when you idle and start defeating enemies, and collecting loot. With this loot, you can craft epic swords, bows and axes to unlock better troops and win the war while you afk heroes.
Heroes live and die, but their weapons are eternal. Make the best gear for heroes.

Community Insight:
We love this game so far we cant wait for new updates.
We are very impressed with your game and plan on keeping it around for sometime but please include more units per unlock four isnt enough.
Pretty easy game. Pay for no ads or be bombarded. Takes a few hours but youll reach the end. Hasnt been updated in a year +.
This is a decent game, but its a shame that it has to invade personal privacy. With the new iPhone update, we can now see which apps paste from our clipboards saved on our phone. This one does it every time you open the app, even when swiping out and back in. Never do banking or anything related to account information or personal location when using this app. It can be potentially harmful and lead to issues. Luckily we only had a YouTube video, so to whoever sees a link for How your mailbox is plotting against you, we hope it does. Hopefully devs see this and can implement changes so that this does not happen in the future.
The game itself is pretty good, but when we pay for no ads and still get ads you get one star.
We bought the no ads upgrade but still keep getting prompt to see ads wth smh.
This game looked really good and we thought we would like it, but it kept crashing right after the screen where it says the studios that made it.
A very cute idle game, the graphics are perfect for it.
We cant even play the game. Whenever we clicked on the game it kept crashing.
There is about 1 as every 90 seconds, and the game progression is slow overall, and does not feel rewarding, seems like a cash grab as you have to watch ads just to unlock abilities.
