Hero Siege Hate Thread

No way. I spent all that money in Hero Siege and then they just pulled it. I paid to upgrade it and everything and was told on steam basically to go suck it. My posts are on steam still if you want to go read how they reacted to my questions. They won't ever get another dime from me. They said that mobile wasn't where they were making their money so as a customer I wasn't important.

It seems there is enough new content to qualify this as a sequel so just think about it like that and honestly I would rather pay ten bucks then have it free and full of a ton of lame IAP. Developers have to make some money and I'm happy to pay more for premium games to keep them from going f2p and to support the developers

 

Ya, very unhappy with all of this.

 

I'm torn too - had the original and can still download from my previous purchases but it's sooooo ssssllllllllooooowwwww (need to do a slo-mo sound effect with that to appreciate the real emphasis!) - it's like you character is constantly running in treacle.....on the plus side though, it makes it a lot easier to dodge the hordes! Also have it on steam. Do I really want to purchase it a third time just to play it again?! It's addictive....like crack.....but at least crack takes the 'repeat purchase' decision quandary away from you......along with most of your faculties and teeth......my point is that I'm not sure it's a itch I want to scratch any more having paid for the privilege already....twice.

It's really hard to recommend this game in it's current state. On my iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.3.2 it's kind of a bug fest. Buying items in shops won't work, not all classes work, when I talk to a certain NPC my game crashes and all of my progress is wiped, walking around is kind of awkward and items disappear. There's a hard currency in this game, I tried to check the IAPS for this hard currency, but yeah that menu doesn't work. If you really want to play this game get it on steam if you can, it's 50% cheaper and you'll get a better version.

 

Crashes at the start menu on both iPad air 1 and iPhone 6+ running the latest iOS version

 

Ugh was excited about this based on description. Thanks as always.

 

If you go on Steam you can see their responses to me. It was all in the open and they responded to someone else too. It was over a year ago though. They told me that IOS was just extra money for them and that's how they looked at it and that just because I made all the in app purchases didn't mean anything to them. They told me that IOS will always be last on their priorities and that their main money is from steam so I didn't matter to them. That they are in school and need the money for their college. Again it's all in the open on the forums on steam.

I wouldn't just come on here and talk about a dev like this. Everyone knows me. Sometimes I'm outspoken and a pain in the butt, but I spend a lot of money on games and respect indie developers. I also love this site. Anyways this is my last comments on this. Good luck I hope maybe they changed their ways and the game is awesome and successful and not a waste of money for anyone here.

Hmm based on all these posts I think I might wait for an update, I also have to put what Billy had to say in perspective too.

 

I seem to remember when they originally released this on iOS, it began having problems and after the updates they basically admitted they were chasing the money and gave up on it in favour of steam, which was more lucrative and PC being easier to program for. Looks like their attitudes haven't changed much in the last couple of years - real shame it's still a bug ridden mess, that was the problem with the last versions(s) on iOS before they finally pulled the plug. Safe to say they won't be having my money a 3rd time now.

 

Same here too!!!
Is there any with latest iOS and iPad Air 1 with no crashes?
As from my experience from the first game the devs are not very supportive with their product but when it worked it was fantastic (the first era not the second with the terrible balance). Anyway I had hopes that this time would be better but for now I have spend 9.99 for a game cannot play for 1 sec.
Not very happy.

 

Wait I bought hero siege a long time ago on steam, then I bought it on iOS, then you guys just abandon that and years later make it again and make me buy it again ? #

 

It's either they send keys to people that already bought and supported this game (maybe even twice, people like myself) or I'm done with these guys.

 

That's super disappointing but thank you both for checking it out. It's on the watchlist for now.

 

The App Description spouts the success of their STEAM release in the first sentence... I suppose that (re)releasing it here on IOS can simply be a way for them to loop advertising back to that platform, especially after reading about the way Billy was treated in open forum..

 

Hey bro, no sweat, they certainly shit on all of us original customers, I wouldn't even think about buying this...again.

To those who have already bought this buggy steaming pile;

*Request a refund from Apple immediately!*

As long as you do so in a very timely fashion they'll refund your money. These devs WILL NOT make things right with you.

Just my 2¢ plus another two for good measure.

 

well, seems like a pretty cool game.. Too bad all the bad rep associated with the devs..
