Farm Heroes Saga Reviews

I absolutely love this game and has been playing it religiously since the pandemic. I’ve paid for gold bars and lives and don’t mind doing so because I truly enjoy the game. But recently, the company/creators behind this game has showed they don’t care about people enjoying their game, they use shady methods to get your money.

1) They rolled out an update that got rid of all of my boosters. I had over 50 of each (took a long time to collect and save). I reached out to them and was told that was a mistake, and they gave me like 5 or 10 of each back. I let this go at the time but now, after more incidents, I’m not sure that was an actual mistake.

2) I paid for 25+ extra moves but they stop the game after I’ve collected enough to pass the level. They claimed this is because many players don’t want that many lives, they just want to pass the level so they implemented that. What about the rest of us? We paid for extra moves so we can get more stars and win more boosters!

3) When I don’t have any gold bars, it shows that I only need 5 gold bars to buy extra moves. I thought this was a recent change and appreciated that since 9 bars is a lot. However, immediately after I purchased more gold bars, it went back to costing 9 bars to buy more moves.

What a shady way to get people’s money. I am done with this game. I would have kept playing and buying more from the game, but I am not happy with what I’ve been seeing. They won’t get another penny out of me.

First, King screwed up the Candy Crush Soda app taking away individual quests for team challenges which is in no way even in participation by all. I find myself winning for the team and getting everyone prizes who didn’t complete a single challenge. Prefer to have a non team option as before. Then I switched to Farm Heroes which was fine until once again they took away the individual rewards in exchange for teams. Yet again, I have like 268 points and the next closest in my team of five is 30. Again, should let player decide if they want to play in teams or by themselves. Next issue: WHERE did the BOOSTER TRAIL go? Like the game isn’t challenging enough with the boosters; strip them away in exchange for this team junk and forget about it. King is flat out being greedy now. I have also noticed that when I win boosters they are often not added for use. Today for example I received 3 add 5 moves which is rare. Naturally when I went to use one on a super hard level there was none there. If it is not changed soon I will be deleting all KING apps and they can sa goodbye to my hard earned cash!

If there weren’t so many moments where hero mode picked the cropsies that would not get you a match, or let you use up all your moves trying to get those chickens out of their little box and in with the rest of the cropsies just to fail the level and have to use all your shovel boosters for it, I might have recommended FarmHeroesSaga to friends.
It’s not like that though, they get you hooked then try to get you to spend actual money in this game to pass levels. Ridiculous and money hungry.
No one cares about the beans either, only useful for rancid levels, you get a ton and they can’t be used for anything else. Might be common sense to allow players to use the beans towards buying powers. Waiitttt though that means less actual money players spend on the game so that won’t ever happen. XD If it comes down to a point I have to pay a single penny it’s getting deleted, I refuse to spend money on a tiny phone game and you all should too. Always remember their goal is to get you frustrated and think buying the gold and powers will make it better, but it won’t. The game is designed to fail you at some point so you have no choice but to get off for a few days or spend real life money. Don’t be the sucker that purchases anything from a company that’s already sitting pretty over this inflation affecting us common folk that can’t even get one 100% free game on our 1000 dollar phones!

The game itself is fun but the technical support/ customer service is terrible - actually I should say it is non existent. There is no way to contact the company except to fill out a form in the game which does not give enough space to lay out your issue. Once you fill that out the only response you get is an automated email that told me to go to the community page and let other users help me .... my issue was not one that other users could fix. My game kept freezing I followed the instructions from the automated email I received and it still kept freezing- the last step was to uninstall FarmHeroesSaga and reinstall- I made sure my progress was saved first and then deleted FarmHeroesSaga and reinstalled- not only did that still not fix the freezing issue but when it reinstalled it did not reload all my boosters that I had earned and saved up - over 50 of each booster just gone- and I cannot get anyone to help restore them to my account because this company is useless. I tried filling out a ticket, I tried posting on Facebook I even tried sending a message on instagram and have gotten nothing but the stupid automated response tell me to log into the community page and talk to other users for help. I NEED SOMEONE TO RESTORE THE BOOSTERS

First, telling CHILDREN: Play on, or you will lose is psychologically disturbing. Absolutely shameful. Second, Beans are useless-can't trade for prizes. Third, up to 8 or more pop ups just to play a game! Forth, you win prizes after a game and if you lose next game you lose all of stream prizes you earned!!! You can always tell how much these developers care by their lack of responses to these reviews. I like the game, but will NEVER EVER buy prizes because you NEVER EVER act on these reviews. Please keep in mind that the game is fun at the beginning, but you will be frustrated at the higher levels once you see how the game is rigged, how more and more time from popups and buy this sales eat away at your lives and daily prize times. Not to mention how much data they collect, share and sell to other company advertisers that you have no control over. Time to delete FarmHeroesSaga. It was fun up to level 1500, but at 1700 it is unbearable and now locked out because I don't think it's necessary for you to collect my personal information and make money off it, in exchange for playing your game! NEWBIES BEWARE. The game is meant to be addicting. At the beginning it's great. Don't spend money to win!

In Jan, I lost all my boosters and it was due to a systems upgrade. A lot of people seemed to get them back (according to their posts in various blogs) but I never did, even after dealing with tech support. I got over it and moved. During the year I continued to play and built back up my supply. Two days ago everything was great. Yesterday morning I logged on and everything was gone. I didn’t update my phone or FarmHeroesSaga , I’m logged into my account, but all my boosters are gone. The challenges were different and I was given all the unclaimed boosters from Farm Pass, as if it had ended, yet the Farm Pass has not ended and I can still claim the boosters. Clearly there is a glitch. I reached out to support and in the end, after all is said and done, they can’t do a darn thing. They can’t (or won’t) return my lost boosters. I’ve been playing this game since the beginning (going on a decade), and it’s the only King game I play. This is the second time I’ve lost all boosters in a year, with no help from support. I would no longer recommend this game to anyone. What’s the point? Be a loyal customer, play daily, get screwed over twice in a year…

I've been playing Farm Heroes Saga almost since it's initial release date in 2013 and have become very unhappy with it. The so-called improvements are far from it. Being forced to use a companion when I don't want to and only having the choice between 2 instead of 3 like we used to is maddening. And sometimes, you don't even have a choice between 2... You have to use the only 1 they offer for certain levels. It needs to go back to the way it was years ago when you spent your beans on a companion, ONLY IF YOU WANTED TO. Most of the time, the companions are more of a hindrance than a help. It is sooooo much harder to pass levels now. I have to use ALL of my boosters if I want to pass and go on to the next after attempting the level 50 times. Then I'm left with none for when I really want to use them. But I know why they made these "improvements"... It's to try to make people make in-app purchases so they can continue playing the game. Well, guess what? This farmer won't fall prey to the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Let me start by saying I wrote a review already, and it’s gone.
The game itself is fun, but after a certain point you can’t win levels without spending money. Which, that in itself is bogus - I thought I was just having a hard time getting past certain levels but after reading other reviews I realize that I was right and it’s 100% rigged. After you spend said money, and after you use the gold for boosters or moves, the game crashes and takes the gold. There’s absolutely no customer service, either. It’s highway robbery, and it’s bull. I want my money back. How this game has a 4+ rating with all the other negative reviews I can see is beyond me - probably rigged that, too. Don’t waste the space on your phone, OR your money. Find something better. And probably stay away from other King games. I’ll be deleting all my king games after this and filing a complaint with apple, although I’m not sure what they can do for this instance, I still feel like it’s twisted that they feature games that are obviously rigged to get you to spend more and more money.

As I learned how to play Farm Heroes better, I liked it more and more... it’s always been my favorite but it bothers me though how rigged it is. It seems there’s no oversight of the randomness and it’s definitely designed to make you pay for more gold bars at certain points inside the game. It’s not random. Clearly there’s no governmental oversight, I’m certain of it, and that’s discouraging. It just doesn’t seem right that casinos are regulated (their games have to have a random element to them they can’t be designed to win at certain times and lose at other times) but for these Internet games... it’s a free-for-all! Or PAY-for-all rather. Farm Heros Saga was one of my favorite King Games, and now that they made it a little bit easier to play with the “boosters” and I don’t have to buy gold bars quite as often as I used to… this time I was able to get to higher levels and enjoy the game more but the piggy bank fills up so quickly and they just keep wanting you to give them more money give them more money give them more money. I recently switched to Apple Arcade Games. I’d rather pay just one monthly fee and not spend so much on these stupid games. They are designed to be addictive and take your money, and I’ve had enough.

Great concept but it always takes clicking out of 50 different pop ups to get to the next window...not even ads just redirecting to challenges etc. You beat a level then out have to finish it out to “get more stars” even if you have like 15 moves left, it’s so time consuming...take notes from toon blast...they give you stars based on how many moves you have left. Also when you finally complete the level it takes forever to load out of it then you have to go to a window it to show you some power up thing then X out of that to get to the main page and another window pops up to redirect you to the weekly challenge every single time. It’s super annoying and time consuming just to get from level to level. I stray away from playing it unless I’m out of lives on toon blast and I’m really bored haha. The creators could take some hints from toon blast bc they have it set up on point...doesn’t take forever to get to the next level you don’t have to constantly deal w pop ups and it just gives you the power ups you earned when u start the level.

I started playing near the beginning. Lost my progress, started over. I tried not to use beans for easy games. But constant notifications told me they would refill. Right. As long as you pay for them. Without beans, games are excruciatingly slow. And you will have no relevant moves, the Cropsies you need will not be on the board. Buy beans and it’s a whole new game! Cropsies appear, and you now have moves and a fair chance to win! Until you shortly run out of beans, and need to buy more.
And more. I received a survey, and expected they were interested in customer satisfaction, and how to improve the game. A long 10 minutes into the survey it was clear. The only questions were if I be more likely to purchase this bundle or that. I quit. Pretty much all reviews are saying the same. But I haven’t seen a response from King. It’s now about Pay, not Play. It’s Sad.

This game is fun but frustrating on multiple levels. Got a new device and it won’t let me transfer the beans and quests so you lose all benefits. What’s the point of setting up an account? And when I reached out to support, they told me to “power through” levels on my old device but then due to a connection glitch, my new device didn’t recognize the levels I had completed on the old device so I had to play through them again. I don’t understand why a saved account doesn’t save your beans, seems like a cheap way to make you start all over again. I guess they just want you to spend money, which I refuse to do. This game is like a slot machine-no skill involved, you win when the game allows you to, as if you’ve played the set number of times. And it almost seems as if the game works against you, for instance when you do use the boosters, even when they’re supposed to be helping you, by adding more pieces, it always seems to land in the worst possible spot, so it doesn’t help but gets in the way. And what’s with the connection issue? Seems to be going on for weeks now.

So I love this game. It’s amazing and fun to play. However , I’ve have had a few times where I paid $20 in one round ... and still lost the round ! Lol. When I wrote customer service about it their response was that I should “go for a walk “”play a different game” and some other patronizing stuff and then explain how the games are proven to be beatable. I wasn’t questioning if I could beat the level , I was wanting to know why if I spent $20 in small increments (in one round !! ) and still didn’t pass the round.I mean, what is the point of paying for more moves or extra tools when it doesn’t do anything for you? I’m disappointed in customer service and the game. It is a great game to play , and I usually spend a decent amount of money on it too. I wasn’t angry, or freaking out so I don’t know why their advice to me was to meditate , calm down and play another game etc. Unfortunately I decided to delete FarmHeroesSaga . I feel like that taking money for a game that can be played for free , and not having some sort of algorithm to ensure ,after multiple purchases in one round , you will pass the level . I know they can do it. Anyways that’s my two cents. It’s a shame that such a popular game doesn’t have better ethics

I love playing the game, however the ads are NOT AGE APPROPRIATE! I’m a 65 yr old grandmother, who plays with my grands & when the rating is 4+, I don’t expect to see repeated fb yoga; men cheating on their wives, then her going to work in a bar & cheating on him! I know children know a lot more than most of us did at 4, but it shouldn’t be crammed down our faces repeatedly during the same game with the same inappropriate ads, we don’t have a choice to watch? If your staff doesn’t know what is age appropriate for a 4 year old, maybe some staff meetings with a clergy should be held. (Not a psychologist who explains people “feelings” as right & wrong.) if someone says this statement addenda them, we’ll all the ads I’ve seen in the last week have really offended me! I like the game, in moderation, but please stop filling all of our littles & older people with inappropriate content. (I can only speak for these ages, but I’m sure if asked, more “Christian oriented families” would speak up!) Thank you for allowing us to review the games with includes whatever advertising is inc.

I love the visuals in this game. Plus, the sound the sheep make is adorable.
Three complaints:1) they’ve changed it so that when you have extra lives left over you no longer get to play out the level using those lives. Instead, they add nine points to a cropsie for each life left remaining. This means that you can’t rack up points trying to reach three stars. So on the levels where you are playing for companions it’s almost impossible to get enough points to reach three stars, even using boosters. 2) Unlike other King games, their booster packages are expensive and have lousy options for the amount of money. What you get for one of the more expensive options is just one of each type of booster. Only the most expensive one offers more than one of each kind. 3) I’m in currently in the low 1,000s levels. The number of hard and super hard levels at this early stage of the game, especially back to back hard levels, is ridiculous.
It may not sound like it, but I actually really enjoy the game. But with only five lives at a time (unless I pay a bunch of money to buy more levels) I can only play for 5-10 minutes at a time. Not fun.

I love the concept of this game when I had first heard about it from a friend back in 2014 but lately this game has gotten repetitive. It is almost impossible to pass certain missions without having to pay for boosters but you can earn them while playing daily which does help and is appreciated. Apparently you cannot empty your piggy bank without having to pay. What is the point of having it in the game? They recently just made a change with the hero mode and now it doesn’t make any sense. You cannot manually Finnish the mission because it automatically collects resources but not all of them by shooting lasers. Seriously? Customer support is also none existent because I had complained multiple times with the changes they recently made and they don’t seem to care at all. This game is not terrible and can be fun at times but hopefully something can be improved in this game.

The higher I move up in this game, the worse it gets. It is almost impossible to win some of the rounds, without using up all your boosters and your gold bars.
Balloon pop is a joke. It is constantly saying no ads found, yet there are ads for every round. So, it is difficult to get extra boosters to play with. The rounds to win companions, are almost impossible to get 2 or 3. Then you get to rounds where you have no companion at all, for help. You use all your lives, and then you cant play any more. I feel that is a push to get you to spend money, which I will not do. It started out extremely fun and I could spend hours at a time, playing. Now, not so much. I end up playing other games instead. I really like this one, but if you have no chance for boosters, what is the point in it. Beginning to be very disappointed in this game.

Don’t get me wrong…I absolutely love this game!! I love the way it looks, the cropsies, the way the make the woohoo sound when you match 3 or more of them. Even Rancid!! No I dislike the raccoon.. but no I appreciate the game. But when I purchase something, I expect for it to give me what I paid for. I bought the movie themed pass or whatever and not only did it work awfully, I didn’t get my 8 lives like I was supposed to. I contacted customer care and they said they already knew what was going on and basically, chill out. No! I want what I paid for. That was unacceptable in the least! Maybe give me another pass when the next season comes up for free, or 8 lives for a month…I don’t know but I should be compensated. Not fair!! There is definitely some other things that bother me but I’m really tired of typing now so I’ll go but that’s why there is only 3 out of 5 stars from me. And I think 3 is still me playing nice for real.

Love the game, but like any garden, you have bugs and kinks to work out! Two times already I came close to getting a hundred gold crowns in a row. But the screen went pink and the only way to clear it was to quit out of it. Finally, on my third attempt, I was able to get over two hundred and thirty something and then I used a tractor booster but before the cropseys even fell down, the board reshuffled and then made it impossible for me to match the last set of alligators even though I had plenty of moves and boosters left; but it would not drop any more alligators. So now, I feel robbed yet again, of my goal in getting a perfect game of at least 300 gold crowns without losing a single life! I feel that you should give me those gold crowns and fix the system to stop it from reshuffling until all the cropsies have fallen down or give the option of using a booster. Even though the booster would not have been able to give me the chance to get my alligators! But if you look you’ll see that I passed it with ease and had plenty of moves left. I’m seriously considering deleting this game from my devices. What started as a source of entertainment; has become a source of frustration.

Supposedly you get points for every match. If the fruit or vegetable has numbers than it counts as 1 plus the number on it. (Ex: you match 3 apples and the first has a 2, the second has a 4 and the third has a 6 it SHOULD give you 15 points) Sadly, it doesn’t give the full amount ESPECIALLY when you’re trying to beat Rancid the Raccoon! No matter how many you match regardless of numbers for each it counts as 1! So frustrating never knowing how many points you’ll actually get. You’re on your last move and need 5 points to win. You match 4 fruits each with a number of 1 or higher and you get 3 of the 5 points you needed. 🤬 There’s no way to win gold bars! The daily bonus has me collecting the bonus daily, but only playing a few times a month so I can accumulate enough boosters to pass a few levels.
The worst thing about this game is in the beginning they give you 100 gold bars HOWEVER it’s set up so that when you “lose” a level the button to use the gold bars is where you would naturally touch to move on to try again, so you end up using the bars when you don’t intend to use them. This is NOT unintentional.

I have played this game for quite a few years. I deleted and reinstalled and got much enjoyment playing. I had deleted and reinstalled and decided to purchase “beginner bundle”. Levels that I previously passed easily have now become difficult enticing me to buy extra lives. I refuse. Can’t delete because I have coins I purchased. I knew all these games were fixed in one way or another and this confirms it for me. I would rather have contacted King directly with this issue rather than in a review but found no way to contact them. So the review is what I was left with. Don’t spend your money. Games that force you to watch ads or win a level are rigged that way. I still haven’t passed the level but when I don’t pass I am offered 55 extra moves. I can’t think of any game that I enjoy playing taking 55 moves over and above he measly 19 moves given to lass the level to begin. Just start at 74 moves to pass level and everything is hunky dory.

This is a cute little match three game that I find relaxing and mind numbing when I want to turn my brain down a few notches. I like it much better than farm heroes saga which unfortunately, has become a money grubber for king developers. My only complaint for both games is that it appears you have to be on Facebook to get extra lives from friends. I used to play this when it first came out and it attached you to a bunch of different players that you could swap lives with. Now, since I refuse to log in to Facebook there are no friends to give and get lives with. Most people may not find this annoying but, I do! I refuse to attach these games to a social media page. Since it’s my pet peeve I guess I’ll plug along without it or dump it all together. Unfortunate really, because I enjoy these little games.

This game is one of my favorites. My only negative is sometimes it gets stuck in a play and you lose your turn because you have to reboot although it is rare it happens although if you play it like I do then it’s frustrating when that happens. Reason why I gave it a 4 stars. The other issue I had with the game but I think they have fixed it is if you accidentally hit the button to buy more moves it takes it and not realizing you hit the button it takes your coins without giving you the other 5 moves because you’ve hit the other button to go on. All in all... this is my favorite game above all the games I’ve played. I love you also get the chance of playing for free games AND on Fridays in my time zone around 4:30 to 5:00 pm you get 2 hours of play for free. As mentioned, I love this game/app🥰

I like this game a lot more than Candy Crush, because there aren’t any timed levels. A lot of reviewers are complaining about the money they’ve spent, but I haven’t spent one cent, and I never will. Most of the levels I’ve played so far (I’m currently at level 1650) don’t require use of any boosters. However, I have two complaints:
1. Some levels are completely dependent on luck. For example, a drop of water from a filled bucket has to land in one specific square in order for the chicken to start jumping around the board and laying eggs. That’s completely unfair.
2. Every few weeks, the game freezes on the home screen. This seems to happen at least every other time a new version/update is released. Currently, I haven’t been able to play the game in almost two days.
Other than those issues, it’s a fun game to play.

I have been playing Farm Heroes for years, and I have enjoyed it. Last time I updated it, the feature of watching ads for more moves had been added, and I did make use of it. However, it’s beginning to be that ads take up more and more time. I’m tired of the ads’ finally ending and then putting up a timer for 5 more seconds. In this last update I did, you can no longer play the remaining moves you have at the end of the game, so the game ends up being shorter and you end up watching more ads before starting the next game. Now, watching ads isn’t required, but if you don’t watch them and don’t earn bonuses, some levels are just about impossible.
Please, at least make the ads shorter so that I don’t have to spend far more time watching the ads than playing the game. I have a limit, and I will stop playing if the ad level stays at this level relative to the game-playing.

All in all I really like this game. It is challenging without being ultra frustrating like some other games. My one complaint would be the beans. You earn beans a lot, but they are pointless. I have yet to find anything to use them on. I read that you can purchase shovels with them, but nope only gold bricks can buy anything. I thought I found where you could use them to buy gold bricks, which would be awesome. But nope, you can use gold bricks to purchase beans, which I inadvertently did...that was frustrating. Why would that even be an option if you can’t use the beans for anything. I feel like that is false advertising at the least. Anyway, although I still don’t understand the point of the beans, I still enjoy this game more than candy crush..which I have deleted.

I would also agree with the complaint about the many pop-ups to get where you need to go, but I’m used to it now and don’t find it super frustrating, just time consuming.

I have to admit that I have been playing this game for years now. Sometimes I’ll play every day for a while and sometimes I’ll go months without playing at all. I really love the game. I love that I can win boosters to help me along. I would prefer not to buy anything but I have been known to buy a booster here and there. Here’s my complaint. When playing for a while and finally passing a level, the prize you win is the best prize of all….INFINITE LIVES. I love that prize. Who doesn’t? Here’s the problem. When I finally do win the prize, sometimes it’s for an unbelievable 6 hours. But I can’t play for 6 hours at a time. I have other responsibilities. Why can’t I win the infinite lives and be able to actually enjoy the time I win? PLEASE consider making this change. It’s been the same for years. If I don’t sit up and play for a straight 6 hours, I lose the time I played so hard for to win! Please, please change this rule and make it more fair to the players. Thank you.

Overall great game just some suggestions to make it better
- just noticed this but the bombs when you get a group of five and it gets rid of all the over veggies when they’re refilling the board and more veggies come down if they match and go away the bomb counts down even though your not making the move the game is doing itself kinda bad
- when you have the chickens and make a move near it it hatches an egg well i think when you get all the chicks you need it should get rid of the chickens like it does the squirrels in farm hero super saga because then the chickens keep laying eggs and it becomes overpowering and makes it hard to get the other things you need to complete the level
-same with the spiders i think when you get all the spiders the webs should disappear to because it becomes too hard to get the rest of the stuff you need
-i have a bunch of beans i just use to beat rancid i think you should be able to buy the power ups with beans or other stuff with the beans so they aren’t useless
-also the water buckets i think after you get all the water you need they should get rid of the buckets as well becomes over powering just like the webs and chickens as stated above

I hope you read through these and consider them as i think it will help improve the game a little bit better

Some of the negative reviews are laughable, but I think they’re dependent on the phone and phone service a person has. There’s no way I’m ever spending real life money on app games, and it’s proven I don’t need to. All levels are beatable without added boosts, so if you keep that in mind and keep playing the hard levels (and take as many breaks as you need) you’ll eventually progress. As of now, I have way too many beans that I can possibly spend. That’s good. And with the horse boosters, winning is not that difficult, tho it can be if you don’t beat the levels with them the first couple times.

So it’s all strategy. Make the right moves and you’ll win. You don’t need to constantly buy boosters to progress. Take your time and all is well.

Thank you for having such a fun game. I had a stroke in 2014 and my speech therapist had me using your game to stimulate my brain to reconnect it a bit. I now am still playing and enjoy it. I do wish however that when I have more moves left that the dog would let me play them out, or perhaps have a “bank” say if moves available for a different game. This really frustrates me with Rancid levels as well, as it clears your game as soon as you defeat him. Sometimes I only have one star but many moves left! If I could play it out I’d earn more beans which is what I usually run out of. I also want the ability to choose when to add the parachute or three tractors into a game, when you choose at beginning they put them all in the game, and they are more in the way then a help. When I do wish I had them, than they are unavailable . Anyway, thank you for the brain game!

I have downloaded & played A LOT of games (probably 1,000) over the years and this game is the only one I’ve kept on playing. Although I’m not near as far as others on levels but this game is one that you can continue to play without spending money. And when I have paid for anything, you get much more here for the money than with any of the other games I’ve tried. The prices are the best if you choose to buy special powers but you do not have to pay anything to keep playing. I LOVE FARM HEROES SAGA!!! And their technical support is NOT terrible. I’ve only had one issue with the game and they were AWESOME and quickly responded to fix it. They even gave me back my special powers that were lost and a few extra for the frustration. So I have nothing but good to say about this game and the technical support staff!
