Moreover, the catapults fire via a whole new system that improves their trajectory and more clearly shows where you are aiming at.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Thanks to the dev for fixing the scaling issues so quickly, fantastic job and love the game, really fun.
Great game, love the story, the characters, and getting to customize your troops, but we have to spend money to play the full game? We mean we can afford it but why does one need to spend money on the game when you can push the buying into things like weapons, classes or even resources. We js think it would raise your game even more if you made the story free and focused on other smaller things the player could buy instead.
Very Good game. However, it is a buy to win game. You need to pay $3 to have access to the whole gameplay, and if you dont, it would just give you harder levels which would take weeks to complete it.
Yall gotta drop some more content Ive had installed so long after Ive beaten it but we bought the in app purchase for all levels so we dont want too delete it bc its a good little game but its been soooo long.
Pls bro update update or we go crazy and update it ourselves, and continue the map and pirate storyline.
This game is a good game. We love playing it. However, once you get to a certain point the levels are unbeatable. We dont mean when you get to level like 45 and things are supposed to be hard, we mean at like level 9. There are simply to many archers to beat any level. 92 archers, really, its impossible and cant be beaten. Other than that, we like the game.
Herodom is a Great game in our opinion but our units dont always move. For example they stand there and get attack and they dont go in groups. Maybe you could make them behave like the enemy and charge on go. This is only an important suggestion for the game.
We like the game great game but when we went to go to the second island it said we had to buy the full version which we didnt know we had to and it said no where in the game description in the App Store so we kinda wasted 2 hours of our time. But otherwise great game.
It was good until it said we need to pay to continue.
Nice overall game but no more upgrades after a point and then enemies get super hard. No replay value. Rinse and repeat. Would be better if added upgrades as game progresses.
Its definitely a great game was there sure what we were getting into when we purchased the full version but it was well worth it. We have been hooked the last couple days now for sure. The only thing we have to say is we wish there was much more content in the game. The game has so much more potential to be on top !!!! More content would definitely be worth adding.
We really enjoy this game! As of right now we only have the free version, despite the limits for the free version, we keep finding ourselves coming back to re-play missions. We plan on buying the full game soon, we cant wait! Id highly recommend giving this game a try.
We have so we have ad and a h and a fit is soooooooooooooo useless.
Love the game, exactly what ive been looking for. Make more levels please.
Nah Fr this game is exactly what u want if u want to be a general commanding troops to battle, so fun and addictive. Cool heros and just all around our favorite on the phone.
We thought we may regret the purchase of the full game but no sir we completely finished the game. The only complaint we may have was that it needs more levels and content because we still have hours and hours left in us to play but theres nothing to do but endless mode. Maybe weekly challenges would be cool like ones where you fight enemies and cant use certain troops or siege equipment. Still this game is amazing and we hope for more content updates or maybe even a sequel cause Ill buy that too.
We have been loving this game and am looking forward to finishing. We have run into one issue however. We have upgraded our King Bible to LVL 4+ in multiple playthroughs but have not received the Bracer. We have OCD and would love to complete this game with every unlockable etc. And its frustrating to see this error. Would love help with this issue! Love the game and concept. Incredibly well done.
We wasnt really expecting this game to be good, but it was a pretty good game, but after we got to the desert island it asked for money which bumps it down to a four.
The game is fun, but then it gets impossible. There is no way to upgrade your troops nor your heroes. We personally didnt like it. Also the farming aspect of this game is poor and doesnt give you resources.
The gameplay is decent but the fact that the text is SO slow makes the game unbearable. We don't want to wait for a minute for the text to appear onscreen. Give us an option to make it instant or bust.
We really like the game at first so we purchased it but we regret buying it. Theres no explanation as to how to do anything or what anything does. We cant buy seeds but we have no idea why. We cant raise chickens but it dosent explain why or what we need to do. Theres no tutorial and very little information online.
Its crashes after you invest your best chow on your army. The game makes you work so hard for it in the first place. At least, if the game crashes, revert to last save before the battle.
The catapults are bugged and wont shoot.
The game does not look that bad but 5 dollars is insane for a game that looks like a battle simulator.
The games fun but you have to pay money to play the rest you could have just put ads in the game.
They will force you to buy the game after few levels otherwise you can't play.
So cool but toke forever to load and we had to delet a lot of our games and photos kicks us every once and a while but soooooooo cool its our fave things put together.
Buen juego pero apesta que tengas que pagar para poder jugar la versin entera de el mismo. Lo siento pero lo borr.
This is such a good game. Its simple to learn, it is extremely difficult which we like in strategy games. The graphics are simple and easy on the eyes which may not us for all but we really like. Also the game gives you a free demo to try the game and see if you like it. We almost never buy games because we dont know if we will like it or not but with this game we knew we liked the game when we purchased it. And thats the one purchase you make in the game every single thing gets unlocked. So props to the dev for making an incredible game.
One of the best games in App Store. $4 for the full game and no other paywalls. To the developer awesome game please keep updating/developing games.
Feels nice to find a game where creators actually pay attention to feedback and care about the funnest aspects of it thanks :).
When is there gonna be another update o something new.
This game exceeded our expectations, the combat system is easy to learn and it is fun to watch the battles play out in real time. The troop customization, dialogue, and strategy elements is exactly what we were looking for. We thank the developer for spending all 942 hours to make this game and we hope Vladi makes it into the sequel.
So far its a nice game! Its be nice to be able to direct troops during the battle, Also to make the words from character speech to appear immediately, Im a faster reader than the words appear and it makes the game feel slower. So far we think Ill buy the add on once we beat the game! Thank you.
Unit dress up is kinda funny, we wouldnt rate it 5 stars if it wasnt funny.
Great game with lots of potential. Few issues- game will randomly crash in the middle of battles or for no reason and if it does it in middle of battle you have to restart. When you have big armies you cannot zoom out to give better control and maneuvering to be able to better use your equipment. Placing troops can be a pain in the butt as well picking up and dragging troops is very inaccurate and youll end up clicking everything but the guy you want to move. Game needs more village things to do as well. Not worth the $4.99 price tag! Response to Developer- it seems to crash when Im on the last battle of a main round when we have a lot of troops. Im using an 8th Gen iPad.
So Ive been enjoying Herodom while Ive been playing this but when we get to the desert, it just says, would u like to support the game and buy the complete game and Im like that cant be all for the free version because it was only 4 stages.Idk if Im doing something wrong or u have to get the complete version to continue.
Really good game until it makes you buy the complete version so you can not play anymore so that bummed us out.
So far having a blast with it. Greatly appreciate monetization from indie games developers like this compared to the micro transaction garbage we get nowadays.
Im not sure if Im just bad but Ive found this game to be excessively difficult. It seems we dont get enough resources to get enough troops by the last few waves and always get overrun. Fun but frustrating to say the least.
We started playing this game and it was quite enjoyable but right when we were starting to enjoy it, it said we have to purchase the rest of the content why cant you just play for free or at least tell the people that your just playing the campaign and the rest of the game costs money.
We cant even play the game because we have to pay to continue we live in a different country and this is kinda unfair that we have to pay cant you just make a sandbox when we cant even play the game.
We are very appreciate of you fixing the family share thing and we still really enjoy the game.
Really great and well thought out gameplay. Definitely strikes the right balance where its not impossible but you have to strategize unlike similar games in the genre.
This is the best game that we have ever played the people that made this are so talented and great graphics so fun best game we have played in a while.
Good afternoon, just wanted to say that this game is fantastic! Its hard to find games nowadays that arent pay to win. We love all the upgrades and hope to see this game to continue to expand! We do have a question though. Ive unlocked most of the heroes and have only a handful left that we cant seem to find. Do we need to unlock via battles with secret challenges or is it something else? Again, thank you for this wonderful game.
This game honestly surprised us with how good it is. We managed to beat the game but it wasnt an easy beat. The only thing Id suggest is adding additional content. Whether thats maps where you play as the attacker or recourses or small quests. Also maybe some additional troops or armor to unlock. Other than that we were happy with this game.
Ive only been playing this game for a couple weeks now but we already love it. We honestly wasnt expecting much from this game. ( this is due to the description being kinda generic). But we got into the game and loved it, we would like to think the developer for making this masterpiece of a game.
We got to say when we first saw this we thought oh this will be fun for 10 min but after one review we know its gonna be great you not only do u actually read the reviews but take them into consideration we will put any complaints/problems/our personal experience in a separate review-gandolf_op.
This is a great game that got us hooked within minutes! Did not hesitate to purchase the full game! One thing that would be cool to see in the future would be a sandbox mode, where you could control both sides of a battle and experiment with different strategies and such. Phenomenal game that we cant wait to see more of.
