Do not download. Either EA got hacked, or their techs haven't climbed out of their grandma's basement to fix the game. For a company that charges a lot of money to actually excel in this game, they don't show they care enough to get things back working quickly enough. This glitch, bug, issue, whatever they will call it, has been going on since June 2! Don't waste your time.
Reviews for Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes
← Back to Star Wars™: Galaxy of HeroesOne would think that things would get better as development progresses... I've had a lot of fun playing this game over the last couple of years, but the game's operability seems to get worse with each update. The periodic "marquee events" have started causing the game to be inaccessible for days at a time, troublesome when daily repeatable challenges *for* the event can't be played.
Game is good, tons of characters, lots of levels, arena battles. HOWEVER the energy cost is WAY too high. All of these types of games require players to recharge energy with paid currency to play for more than an hour or two (or a couple minutes if you are using Stims) everytime you recharge, the price goes up. It becomes a waste after 2 or 3 recharges. This needs to be removed. 1 set price for a recharge no matter how many times I do it. The greed shows hard with this game. Avoid paying money!!
Overall, good gameplay. Although if you want to really enjoy the game and not have to grind so much, you do have to pay quite a bit. anytime a new character is made, if you want to actually level that character up, you have to buy the packs with in game currency or real money to actually level them up. I've been playing for more than 2 years, and I haven't even maxed out a single character yet. so overall it's a good game, but mostly pay to win if you want to have a good time.
I've enjoyed this game as one of the few that isn't pay to play, the in app purchases are ridiculous, and help advance faster, but aren't necessary to keep playing like other games get. however, I was recently kicked out and cannot load the game, ot keeps saying I've logged in elsewhere. that has caused the low rating as I will not start over I've been playing for years, and have put too much time into it for this to happen.
It was an awesome game until I suddenly couldn't log in anymore. I log into my Google account, it says session expired, then starts an endless loop where I'll reload for it to say session expired again and again. I've tried all troubleshooting methods I can find online. Leaving a 1 star because I got to level 83 on F2P before getting locked out. I put alot of time into that and it sucks that I have zero access to my account now. It's there, it just won't let me play the game.
No theory crafting, each character is tied to a very specific team and if your missing the other team members that character is totally useless. If you're new to the game the only way to catch up is to spend thousands of dollars to catch up. Game frequently crashes and locks you out of it for weeks at a time losing progress you can't get back. Missing several QOL that should be standard in 2025, specially in the modding department.
Love this, terribly addictive. Problem is, I've made good progress until ships became available. The game forces me to go to the ships, at which point, the game instantly locks up. Every. Single. Time. I can't get past it. I hate this, had hoped to keep this game. I will wait and see if updates fix it. I sure hope so. edit. Though updated, it still locks up every time. So sad. I want to play but no go. Update: I'm done. Even with a brand new Galaxy this locks up in exact same spot!
Just logged in after an update, and it had automatically connected to Google Play. Normally not a problem, but the first time I played this game, I logged into Google Play, but then the game broke, and I could only fix it by playing as a guest. I played as a guest for like 2 and a half to 3 years. I have now lost everything from that time period. I contacted Support, and I am now writing this review in hopes of getting the issue fixed quicker. Please and thank you!
I have been playing this game for years, and I really enjoy it. the last update they did removed items and upgrades I paid for, locked characters I worked to unlock, and removed a ton of other items. When I reached out for help they only referred me to another link and it has been over a month. Nothing has changed except the number of people that say they are happy to help me. If you decide to play don't pay for anything.
Capital Games is attempting to implement a new system into the game that will make it impossible for new players to compete at any level without heavy investment ($). It is called "Relic Delta", and it will heavily impact the current gamestate. There are character relic levels (1-9), and if there is a differential of 4, there will be a damage penalty of 95%, i think you can imagine what that means. You will be paired up with whale accounts at the lowest level in GAC, good luck.
They finally gave me back lost characters. But the game is vertically unplayable. Because, just like before, it is a gamble to get past the first load screen. And since it has to load every page or thing one does. Then eventually game kicks off. I was only able to glance at my character list. After trying to see one of my characters, kicked off. Game has always needed some work. Seriously since it is proven that I have characters I paid for or to level up. Then I expect a refund..
Used to love this game. I have literally played for YEARS. Seems like Disney is just trying to milk us for more and more money with all the changes - harder to farm basic material, harder to upgrade toons, drop rates are worse than before. The list goes on. Keep playing because nephew likes the game. ONLY reason why.
After years of good and bad decisions and updates, the devs have decided that they want to try and completely push out all of the non-spenders from the game with their new "Relic Delta" system. Don't waste your money on this game, and if you're free-to-play, we'll, buckle in for a very long grind to attempt to be able to compete at any level
It used to be a fun game. Now it's just a chore. For months now it's been nearly unplayable because it constantly freezes up. The developer knows and doesn't care because they are focused on the next big change that will make the game worse for everyone. Everything you can buy for real money feels like a joke price. It's amazing to me that people buy anything. It's so expensive for a tiny useless amount of part of a thing. I simply can't imagine paying money for it.
The devs are unbelievably tone deaf and greedy. Over the entire community's objections, they're about to release an update that nullifies any strategy and turns every battle into a wallet check. Is the other team at a higher level than yours? Then they basically auto win. No strategy, no fun, no point unless you want to spend thousands of dollars (not kidding). Take your time and money to a better game that still values strategy.
I've played this game for almost a decade. As with all free mobile games there is a balance between free to play and spending. A good game makes players feel like they can succeed without going broke, but also encourages spending. Galaxy of Heroes has been somewhat successful with this in the past, unfortunately that appears to be changing. A newly announced update called "Relic Delta" will push the game completely into the pay to win realm. Likely, this will end up making me quit this game.
This game is a snooze fest. With the number of characters there are, you would think that you'll be able to unlock and upgrade them all of course, but you will be spread extremely thin. The farm is boring and even the gameplay gets stale if you font find ways to make it entertaining. If AhnalT101 didn't make playing this game look visually enjoyable, I would have quit months ago.
The game starts fun for any Star Wars fan. Then, it becomes a frustrating grind with constant paywall progression. The developers have stopped listening to the player base, especially the free to play players, and have gone to a pay to play model, not just a pay to win. It has monthly "pass" fees to get highly needed, yet extremely difficult to obtain materials. The only good thing is the character variety to collect, but then it is a backhanded slap as you now need more materials to progress.
This game is fun and it is very helpful to have a great guild. However, the introduction for relic delta is forcing many to leave the game. It is a poorly thought out implementation that only benefits players who spend thousands of dollars. there are many other QoL changes that could be made, but instead they chose to integrate a new feature that makes it incredibly difficult for F2P or low spenders.
