"…it's going to be really hard to ever find a way to enjoy a typical dual-stick shooter again."

"One part castle defense, two parts dual stick shooter, and a dash of RPG; Bug Heroes is the most interesting blend of iPhone gaming I’ve see since Infinity Blade."
— 148apps.com
"Bug Heroes has slick presentation, charm, and lasting appeal… In my opinion this is one of those games that defines the iOS platform for gamers."

Community Insight:
We used to play this game long ago when we were a kids and now Im back at it we love this game so much we play it a lot this game is just different also bug heros 2 so please update the game make it full screen please and do some more improvements we really dont care if we have to pay for it please we really love ur guys games keep up the good work and cant wait to see u guys make bug heros 3 in the future.
We remember playing this game way back when and we figured Id hope back on to experience some nostalgia. But unfortunately the game is fairly broken in its current state, the game freezes, stutters, and you cant even see the high scores anymore which is a huge bummer. Id really like to see this app get an update. And we also hope we get a bug heroes 3 as well.
Love it soooooo much but it keeps on crashing and we Im playing on the new iPad Air why so many crashes. We give this game a 10/10.
We really love this game series and it would just be amazing if you could make a sequel to the franchise and maybe you can implement loadouts, skins, and maybe even a system to use more than one hero at once :) we would really love to see that happen please guys just take it into consideration Ive been playing your games for years.
We dont know what happened to the developing team but if somehow you see this, one more update just to fix any current bugs would be amazing.
Great game!!!! Very frustrating freezes constantly. Disappointing.
This is a really great game that people can play for hours, but the problem is when it randomly freezes during gameplay and interrupts your progress. Impossible to get a high score like this.
We think this game is money spent well.
We highly suggest getting this app we could play it for hours.
If you liked the original this is it but there is no store it comes with everything. If you are thinking about getting it we would.
Got the second one doesn't make any sense get this one but they need to add multiplayer plss add that.
This is the best game we played better than flappy bird just one thing…online.
We don't have the treasure thing on our bug heroes delux why is that why is the store not there any more.
We really like the game but we feel like it needs more heroes and maps please add more and also there is a bug where the elephant snail in insectopedia is distorted and also in the attic a thief spider was taking food from our food stash once.
Excellent work foursaken media, this game is awesome, we can't wait for the second. We hope most of the heroes carry on in the fight.
We could barely get on adventure mode but when we did our bug wouldn't move plz fix this problem.
Needs more updates. More heroes like moths or crickets and more equipment but other then that very fun.
There needs to be a multiplayer mode.
This is our FAVORITE APP IN THE WHOLE APPSTORE DO NOT MAKE IT MULTIPLAYER IT WILL RUIN IT PLEASE IT IS AWESOME JUST THE WAY IT IS.
Very very good but we really want an update. Like maybe like a new character or 2 like a butterfly and if you can add multiplayer, online and local. Like up to 4 players that would amazing. This is a very good just add those and maybe local can be Bluetooth and ya. Add those plz and the game will be a billion times better. Will get all our friends to bye it. Plz update this game will be just the best game ever with those. Maybe just a tiny bit better graphics and some more maps. That will be perfect. Thank and plz update.
Really good game but needs update, Needs new charcters like a butterfly or Rollie pollie, and also needs multiplayer. Please update.
You need all the upgrades to be more visual, like if you get grenade with worm, thier will be a grenade on his belt. Stuff like that will greatly improve this game. Also, when you earn armor for the characters, it should match the character, like our spider is wearing full heavy armor, isnt she 'sposed to be an assassin? Otherwise, an amazing game, we would rate 10 stars if we could.
This game is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&we want to tell anyone who likes awesome games to get it.
It is an awesome game and we absolutely love it. And the only things t would make it better is a multiplayer mode. That would make it one of the best games on the market. But it is still a fabulous game.
Needs one more hero like a cricket.
We again have something for you. It is an upgrade for spider. It should be an upgrade that should be half spider half wolf so he can actually be a wolf spider from the widow clan. Thank you.
With Bug Heroes Quest (in our opinion) being the best action game in the iTunes store and Bug Heroes (original) being 2nd, we didn't quite think Foursaken Media could do any better, but they astounded us with the different characters, levels, and enemies. Some of you might think "Why is it worth paying $5 for just an extended pack?" it's because if you look at the average video game they cost around $40. This costs $5 . You do the math.
When we unlock the nuke the profile crashes and we have to restart at square one. Please fix.
App not set up for multitasking (or whatever it's called). Fix it and five stars.
This game is sooo fun. It has unique characters, weapons, and abilities we have unlocked pretty much every ability a couple suggestions: A centipede hero with a flame thrower A butterfly or dragonfly sniper More maps and abilities. Get this app!! ::).
But the update scrambled the visual effects. Please fix this, we miss seeing the poison symbol when we use leaf bug.
We LOVE THIS APP except spme things are coming up a white squarres and we cant see some character plzfix.
Can you please make more games like these or update this one? We love them.
We bought the original game, but none of the IAP so we're glad this version came out. We hope it will contain any future additions without any IAP. Anyway thus far this game has reset the bar for dual stick shooters and adds a tower defense component to it. It is incredibly deep and has so much character and charm. Different heros have different strengths and limitations and it requires quick fingers and strategic thinking or else you will hear " your hero is down"! Bravo Foursaken. Now all we need is NY Zombies 2! Or L.A Zombies! Lol.
We love this game so much. Try the free one first if you don't know it. You'll end up loving it. We will support this game till death separate us. Please keep the new stuff coming as we unlocked everything and finished the quest version.
