Heroes of Steel RPG Elite

Indie developers? Awesome. Party-centered turn-based RPG combat? Great. Gear, monsters, classes, skills, and saving throws? Count me in. Unfortunately, the game lacks polish and has some clunky flaws. I didn’t get very far into the game (only an hour or two), but it seems to draw VERY heavily from the Avernum series for PC. <br/><br/>First, there is no cloud save (that I’m aware of). I bought the game on my phone but it was a bit small so I tried downloading it to my iPad and there’s no way to transfer the save file. Boo that. <br/><br/>It also doesn’t screen rotate, so when I’m trying to play while my phone is charging, I’m forced to play with the cord wrapped awkwardly around the phone. <br/><br/>Menus are clunky (using potions on specific party members could really be improved), and the inventory/status views are bad. It feels like a very early version of a PC game instead of building on what works well for other games. New characters cost $2 each when we’re already paying a premium for the game itself. I love that indie developers are venturing into this space, but this version isn’t worth the money to me.

This game is amazing. For $5, it’s extraordinary... we would’ve paid $50 for games like this a while back. It’s long, the dialogue is well-written (this alone makes this game unique in the App Store universe) and it’s a great strategy game. I play way too many games on my iPad... and this was the first big pleasant surprise I’ve had in quite a while. The App Store seems to be stagnant these days.<br/><br/>As for the dude who rated it low because enemies level with you... wow, what a d-bag. Every RPG is designed around enemies getting harder as you level up. I just had to say it. Creators, you guys rock! I’ll keep an eye on the company!

Literally just a scam- you pay for the game only to find out if you want to use different characters, you have to pay for those too, each separately. Sorry but if I buy a game, you don’t lock their characters under ANOTHER paywall or 6. Insane. This shouldn’t be allowed on the App Store. Disgustingly predatory. I’d give zero stars if I could

This game is so great but I hate doing story games. Wish there was a rogue dungeon option like pixel dungeon where you just go level to level and it gets harder and you have to keep everyone alive through randomized scenes and procedurally generated landscape.

All enemies level with you, meaning there’s no sense of growth or progress. I enjoyed the game until I realized this but quit playing almost immediately afterward as every battle felt pointless. I honestly don’t understand this gameplay choice but at the least they could have made an option to turn it off. Instead it defeats the entire point of rpgs for me. If this issue doesn’t bother you then you may enjoy the game, it’s got fairly decent combat and the dialogue is well written for an app of this budget. It’s partly why I think the enemy leveling bothers me as much as it does; otherwise it would have been a very good tactical rpg.

Thoroughly enjoying RPG entertainment! Well balanced gameplay that keeps me excited to see what’s next... my only complaint is my thief has a bit of a hearing issue!

If you like fantasy rpgs then definitely get this game! It’s got an awesome story and fun rewarding turn-based gameplay . This is the first game I played by Trese Brothers and it’s definitely my favorite.<br/> So far I haven’t played a game by these guys that I didn’t like, Trese Brothers are just awesome and I love to support them. I have bought this game and all characters/episodes on android and iOS and I did the same with a few of their other games. They are not out to get rich, just make awesome rpgs and they constantly update their games and are friendly and quick to respond to customers. I have so much respect for them.<br/><br/> Thanks for being Awesome and<br/>making great games! You guys are my heroes! 👍
