Cup Heroes Reviews

by Nastycop34

It’s ok at first, fun even. Once you get to chapter 5 in a few hours you realize you are forced to watch ads or suffer 10 or more failed runs before you save enough coin to level up to pass it. I’ve been stuck on chapter 7 for 2 days and I just don’t even open it anymore besides to get the times rewards because there’s no point. No mixture of perks can beat the boss unless you watch ads to get enough decent perks before you can level up enough. The “difficulty” is insanely inflated to force you to watch ads. Wouldn’t recommend.

by SuperPyropuncher

Can’t even call this a game really. It’s pretty clear the way you’re supposed to view CupHeroes is that it runs entirely on RNG. Except RNG would actually make sense to some degree. This is just straight up rigged. Past Level 1 I never felt like I really earned a victory. It felt like it was handed to me without any work. The enemies damage seems to scale whenever you are able to afford an upgrade, which essentially negates the point of upgrades. You’ll rarely get an offer to heal, and if you do, that just means you’re gonna die in the next wave anyway. As the “difficulty” ramps up, they just take away most of the good power up options and in some levels remove a few entirely to add a feel of “difficulty” when they’re really just putting you at a disadvantage from the get go. The concept of this game is great, but unfortunately it popped into the brains of a bunch of idiots who wanted to make money instead. It just once again proves no one should let people like the developers do anything in life because they will always find a way to make it hot garbage.

I was loving this game until yesterday. All six pieces of my gear were at Mythic +3 (each was at level 30+)and I’d finally merged enough pieces to create another Mythic piece of each, to merge with my equipped pieces to make Mythic +4. My bow merged successfully but every other piece of gear failed and I was left with regular Mythic Ring/glove/chestpiece/helmet/boot, all at level 1. There is no way to report this issue to the developer to get it fixed, so I guess I won’t be playing any more which is a real shame.

This game is satisfying but has way too many bugs (on IOS). Note that I paid for no ads and am disappointed with how much this game crashes. I played for 9+ hours offline because it crashed less when than when I had wifi/cellular and the moment I turned wifi back on it deleted 9 hours of progress. Thats a whole row of ad watched gem videos, several hundred gems from season rewards, levels, gold, upgrades, and equipment lost. The LITERAL BASICS of an offline game developer is to check if going offline then back online queues progress to be uploaded and saved. Also a good 25% of the time continuing after a round ends crashes or freezes the game. It is fairly apparent for how much this game lags on simple background transitions it needs some patches before I’d recommend it

Ok when I first started playing this game I was in love ….. then about a week into it I started noticing little things that kind of annoyed me but got over it …. Then another week went by and now the only changes I have noticed are exponentially worse than before said improvement….. random forced adds when I have either not even had the chance to watch one on my own or directly after I have just watch a whole add…. Also the game play is getting to the point where it is t fun to play anymore cause the opponents from the beginning when we as players have no chance at having the perks have most of not all the perks used against us….. then when for example I have upgraded the chance to attack twice to the fullest so meaning 80% chance of attacking 2 times I will go whole rounds till death only attacking once while the 5 opponents each attack twice till I’m dead….. it’s become not fun! I have never played an app that as they fix stuff and update it it has gotten worse so bad it’s maddening and almost not worth the time…

by Nprlover360

Fun game but there are a few significant bugs I’ve seen, sometimes when you watch an ad it is impossible to close the ad forcing you to close and reopen the game to continue and when you do that it just skips the ability select and you get nothing, I’ve also noticed that some people (myself included) just don’t have the heroes tab at the bottom, from the start four tabs down there instead of five and it just doesn’t exist

by Leave Joseph Alone!!

If there weren’t so many ads every other screen, I’d actually be willing to spend some cash on this game. As it is, I’m not going to be bullied into buying the remove ads option.

Additionally, having a massive pop up every time I pass a stage about an “exclusive chapter deal” frustrates me more than anything.

I’m all for watching optional ads, and I find myself chain-watching ads if I am the one to opt into them. When they’re forced on me, it just seems cheap. I understand that voodoo forces the game to be like this, which is such a shame because it could be so good.

by Lordbedo

Played for about a month and I’m over it. The game is a fun concept but gets extremely repetitive. Progression is steady at first, but at hero level 40, they soft lock you to where you cannot level unless you get hero cards, which come randomly and almost always are for a hero you don’t even have. And if you can’t level, you can’t beat the incrementally tougher battles. So you have to spend significant money to progress in the game.

Another thing - the amount and type of ads shown is ridiculous. It’s nearly impossible to win a stage without volunteering to watch a few long ads, and in between those they force you to watch many more. If the devs could check their greed, I’d have kept playing and probably spent some money. Instead they wasted my time and made nothing off of it.

by ENDL355

98% of the people playing this game had NO PROBLEMS with it. None. Then you guys updated it, and then instead of 1 ad at the beginning of the stage and 1 ad at the end, I also got 1 ad in the middle. I can deal, not that bad. What have you done now? It’s been one day since the last update. I opened the game, and 3 minutes later I’m still not playing. Just ad after ad after ad. I got 4 30 second ads before I could even play. Then when I finally get into a stage, there’s another ad. I defeat the first wave, and the selection screen appears. But, then you get an ad. Then make a selection, followed by an ad. THEN the wave takes 3 seconds of play time, followed by an ad. Your greed has ruined this game. I was online for over 10 minutes. I played the ACTUAL GAME for about 20 seconds. Why ruin an excellent concept with bottomless greed?

by Dwyden

The game is fun enough but the forced ads are a little much when i already voluntarily watched numerous ads. The biggest issue though is the ads dont end. They wont let you get back to the game. Sometimes if you wait 3 minutes the ad will actually close but mostly they lock up and you cant get back to the game. I died and soi watched an ad to revive but the ad doesnt let you back in, so you kill the game and reload, game reloads and you continue the game, but because your dead, you must watch an ad to revive again, so you do but the ad doesnt let you back into the game, so 6 minutes later you still cant play the game. I give up, im uninstalling, maybe if the fix their ad provider, change it to a reputble ad source the game would be more stars even with the silly forced ads.

by Elfmage

I love voodoo games I have never had any issues with any of there games, yes they have lots of ads but still it is what it is. Anyways usally don’t spend money on games but this game caught my eye I liked it I played it. I got to normal level (not crazy far into the game) but the game will freeze on my equipment screen and it says I have no equipment on. I close the game out, I try loading a fight up. Nope won’t load I try to cancel the fight it says I’m on 15/15 wave and have XXXX value on all these items. I close the fight out and goes right back into the equipment menu and freezes. I know if I delete the game it will probably “fix” the issues but then I have to start all over and I did not remeber seeing a restore button. So ended up just requesting my money back and try to find another game to play.

by Inadays

The game is pretty good and has hit my little monkey brain grind for power but after I unlocked the Rouge I’ve been having to deal with bugs where they’d try to execute their backstab but no one is on screen so it bugs out and I can’t move forwards in the waves or even after a boss would love to see that get fixed edit: okay now I’ve run into another problem my stats have zeroed out where I can’t equip or unequip any items where, when I start a new game it doesn’t start no character show up and nothing happens it just tells me I’m somehow at wave 14 and have my old power ups

by Gorf8083

Was fun for a bit but after you get to a point, you have to watch ads every 30 seconds and don’t get me started on boss battles, I outmatched a boss by over 150 million health and yet there was nothing I could do to win the match. I got them from 7.2 million health to 26 thousand, and next thing you know, they were back to full health. They were combo attacking every attack yet I could never do a combo or special skill attack. 45 minute battle and lost… unless you know… you pay to get special equipment or skill. Deleted and will never install another one of their crappy games.

by EldenJohn

I don’t normally write mobile game reviews, but I gotta talk about this. This game cheats. Like really badly. Effects that have a percent chance of happening never happen as much as they should be (I had one game where I had a 90% critical rate- criticals were NOT hitting like they should have been), and it also feels like enemy effect rates are cranked ALL the way up, ESPECIALLY right as it feels like you’re winning. There’ll be games that’ll be going flawlessly, and then you get to the boss and you’ll get like 7 misses in a row and the boss just one-shots you. I play this game with an adblocker, so ads aren’t the biggest deal for me, but with the way the game is played, it almost feels like it stonewalls you if you don’t watch the ads like it wants you to- but I’m not gonna turn my adblocker off, so it’ll basically be me throwing my head against a brick wall until I’m over-leveled enough to move on. Again, I don’t normally write game reviews on here but I just really had to talk about it.

by Select All Paste

Voodoo always makes horrible games that are riddled with ads. As soon as I saw the developer I got a little concerned but still downloaded it anyway. I immediately had a blast with this game and wanted to go as far as I could without stopping so I bought the ad pack because again voodoo games are LOADED with ads. So here I am thinking the ads went away when in reality they got worse. Now instead of taking the ads away what really happened was I can’t skip through them anymore so now I’m watching a full two minutes of ads just for a minute of gameplay. I immediately deleted CupHeroes and I’m sad I even spent money on this.

by Hjdjdjxkckdnxmf Nn

This game expects you to watch ads to pretty much get through the game if you’re going for a free play route but it also forces you to watch ads. I’m one game you’ll watch anywhere from like 3-17 ads which is kinda crazy for one level in a game and $4 for no adds is a ripoff you could spend the $4 on a game like bad north or Polytopia and have an actual game on your phone that’s fun and not some trash made by voodoo

by 858473

Pretty fun game and has potential if they ran the upgrade system like sssnaker but right now there is about 4 ads per level which gets old quickly. Should only have ads to get gear or extra diamonds and such not to just play the game. New characters cost an outrageous amount of diamonds and coin (2million coin AND 2k diamonds). It’s also basically playing the same level over and over just where the enemies have higher attack and hit points so it’s basically just a grind game. Clearly this game was made to be a cash grab. It’s okay, but it could be awesome if the dev wanted it to be.

by Kalebily

Very fun game until I realized there’s a different version of the same game that other have access to. My friend has this version and it’s better than mine with each hero has different abilities and different offers to choose from. Also the gear is different too when selecting gear you can have a gear set that give you a bonus when having all the same pieces from that set. I’ve spent about $30-$50 on this game and no way for me to restore my purchase. I’m not happy with my experience until I can get my previous save back with all my purchases.

by Muzdoo

The title says it all but I’ll go into more detail. The game itself is fun and it’s nice to do the little bit of math to plan the best drop path. However, you never have enough balls for the good upgrades so you have to watch ads for them… and then there are ads between the waves… and then on top of it, I’ve been getting a few ads (which I’ve often chosen to watch for an upgrade) that turn the screen black and doesn’t let me do anything in CupHeroes . When I restart CupHeroes it lets me pick up AFTER where the ad would’ve finished but WITHOUT the rewards from watching the ad. I feel like I’m just giving them ad revenue and they’re giving me a broken game.

Long story short, the ads need to either be fixed or they need to go. Since we all know ads in mobile games aren’t going away anytime soon, here’s to hoping they’ll get this nonsense fixed.

by Moon1beam8

A game that’s surprisingly fun in its simplicity and presentation. The same formula as most mobile games now: collect and merge loot to improve stats, fiendishly punishing escalation of difficulty early in the game, and microtransactions and ads galore to help cope with said difficulty. Now I could deal with optional ads for better power ups during a level (of which there’s plenty offered) but the forced ads during gameplay simply because I didn’t watch an ad in the last 3 minutes or so is just maddening. There’s already plenty of reasons to watch lots of ads in this game with all the loot and powerups to get (and sort of mandated with the difficulty scaling), no reason to punish us and force more ads on top of it all. There’s more watching ads than playing game here. But it’s a problem that money can help solve.

by NebulousDame

I’ve never written a review before, but I’ve enjoyed this game for quite a while and I got all the way to the 80’s in levels. After a recent update the game tells me to click on my gear and when I do so it shows only a single ring in my inventory and my person, the screen then shades down and I cannot do anything from there. I’ve been waiting hoping a quick fix would fix my game, but weeks later and it’s still the same.

by Hsjdhdhshshdhxxhcuend

The game was extremely fun for a few weeks. I even paid $5 to never see ads again because I liked the game so much. Unfortunately, after around level 20 the ball rewards never show another “+6 balls at the beginning of each round” which means it’s impossible to get enough balls for a good power up before being forced to watch an ad. It definitely feels like this lack of the +6 balls is on purpose. Additionally, you can’t get past certain levels without being forced to level up, which means losing 15 games in a row until you have enough coins to level up. The alternative is paying for gems to get coins to level up, or watching ads to get power boosts. At the foundation, this game is highly fun and addictive, however there is a point of diminishing returns where you’re just stuck. Without the +6 balls, you’ll never have good enough power ups to win the game because each round you get maybe 4-6 balls to start and will get maybe 40 balls to spend each round. I hope the devs read this and fix the issue - unless it’s on purpose, in which I just can’t play the game anymore for more than 1 round without being bored.

by Kfkdolqncjoro Bend

I love this game. Even paid the couple dollars to remove forced ads. Game runs fine, except later in the game at purple and red upgrades there needs to be a quicker way to merge. The game rewards so many items that need merged after each round that you have to spend several minutes after each round manually merging old items so it doesn’t crash your phone from overload.

by Charlrybev

It really needs to shell out more resources. Like you get 80 coins a round and like no gems so you have to play a level like 15+ to beat it. Seems intentional which would be disappointing because games should be fun and stimulating. Rewards=stimuli for your neurodivergent audience my dear devs. Where there’s a skill tree, I will go. Where there is drops, I will loot. I even paid to not have ads and for the battle play to be sped up (which I thought was pretty steep pricing btw why is it so expensive for the pay to win options? If you lower the prices more people will pay for the silly lil boosters. Thats just economics). Anyway. Add more resource drops please. Consider lowering the prices for stuff. I’ve paid $15 so far and at best am mid tier satisfied.

by ThatOneSpirit

Let’s start off with this. After a certain point, you will be locked between having to wait DAYS to unlock new levels of your hero, or be stuck replaying the same mission as everything will keep killing you and you won’t be able to progress. Expect to see an ad every 2/3 rounds of your character doing something. The upside to this, the ad free is quite cheap, so I let it slide. However, even if you buy the ad free, anything else that would require an ad, still forces you to watch ads. So I paid money to play the game? That’s it?? I enjoy this game, or enjoyed this game, but after a certain point, if you don’t spend money it will take you days, weeks and maybe even longer to simply just progress.

by Jeff1977!@

Game play is simple and engaging how ever if you only have a certain number of balls in the bank and then watch and add to get an upgrade, you get the upgrade but it takes what little you have in the bank so that next round you start at zero. I would like to see that if you watch the add what little you have in the bank stays cause to watch a 30-60 second add that’s torture enough why take the little you have in the bank as well. Would like to see that change other than that easy game

by Hypomanyac

I picked up the game to see if it was as the ads said it was, and it truly was a unique enough game. There was a challenge, the concept was novel, and I didn’t just float through nor get locked at any point. I opted for the ad free because I got tired of seeing them so much.

I reached a point of needing to grind and that allowed me to gather resources to build and gain more characters without paying into it.

Then I noticed I was just winning every time. I thought I had over leveled or something. Nope. I switched to one character that was 40 levels lower than my highest ones trying to grind for resources again so I could level people up. Even with that I’m blazing past each stage. Currently around stage 130 with a character level of 20, and I don’t even have to try. Sometimes I pick the worst options to see what happens and it’s always a breeze. I will open the game and then close it because I k ow it will do nothing. Watching the balls fall is the only satisfaction left, but when you know all the formations it gets really repetitive.

This game was a lot of fun, and I wasn’t expecting anything huge. Now it just feels like a waste of time, and honestly I don’t want to continue because I’ll get to the end really soon and there will be nothing left.

by Loser051

So I downloaded this game about 3-4 weeks ago and I’m alrdy in master difficulty. Chapter 30 something. My friend just downloaded the game like a week ago. But, he has certain aspects of the game and extra content that I don’t have. Like a blue “challenges” button below the battle button that opens up a whole new aspect of the game. As well as a daily collect tab on the left side next to the pop-ups. I don’t have either of these things. I have no blue button or calendar that I can collect daily from. But, for some reason he does. If the developers could contact me and let me know what I could do. Also we’ve made sure we have the same game using the same download link.

by Eatlix

I really do like the general concept this game is going for, however I do have 2 major problems with it.

1: The game crashes too easily if you multiply too much, and for me this is a especially common problem. The game would usually crash within seconds if the screen gets nearly filled, now this normally wouldn’t be a problem if

2: the game’s auto save is very janky. Whenever the game crashed, sometimes I would be set back a few waves, and other times I was set back entire worlds.

3: The actual ingame progression is kinda wack. It’s kind of like the game itself can’t decide if you should be rewarded for doing good or doing bad on the ball drops.

If you do good, you can’t keep up with the game and eventually get left behind because you don’t have the bonuses from doing bad,

while doing bad will, in some cases, costs you time to catch up, and you end up losing again.

If there was a time I needed a ball/multiplier upgrade, I would usually need to refresh thousands of balls away just to get it.

The game is fun, but needs some serious work.

by GamerAuto

I’ve been playing for a long time, and just now wrapped back around from “Impossible” to “Easy”. Having the experience I do with the game, here are some suggestions I’d like to share in the hope that it makes the game better.

-Missions: Missions are only 15 rounds, and I’m at the point where I can easily blast through each one in about two minutes. Having the missions grow longer and throw more enemies at me and have those enemies grow stronger as well would be a good way to slow the pace of growth in a moderate way.

-“Infinite Mode”: For late game/endgame players, it’d be good to have an “infinite” mode where it starts at level one, and doesn’t stop until you lose, with enemies getting progressively more powerful as you continue. You could even add a leaderboard to see who gets the farthest before they die or have to close the game.

-Characters: Each character seems to have a unique set of skills, but you can’t max out and use everything. This feels like a waste, in my eyes, so it’d be nice to use the billions of coins I have to upgrade each character to their maximum potential.

-Cards: Each character seems to be slowly getting updated with different unique cards and different ranks of shared cards. Having the ability to unlock all of these cards right off the bat would be a nice change.

by JRummy86

Once you’ve put several hours in, the forced ads begin. Given that the “best” upgrades usually are available only after watching ads it’s annoying.
My biggest complaint are the features that don’t work. Sunna’s shield doesn’t actually absorb an attack. Legendary Phoenix armor doesn’t actually revive you. Other reviews have found other bugs.

by MrMcdoug

I genuinely like the game, It’s a good way to waste time. I’m not even going to complain about the number of ads since that is to be expected with a free game. My issue is that the ‘X’ to close out most of the ads is broken, so I’m stuck in an endless loop where the only way out of the ad is to close the game completely and hope that it saved my progress

by Code Xachi- Fortnite

I have been playing this game for a little and im chapter 75 and the amount of items i receive for completing a chapter freezing the game for a little and the vast amount of items i get in the patrol thingy will freeze the game for what felt like indefinitely, i feel like it could be because instead of the items stacking like i have i dont know maybe 20 of one gear/item in one slot they are seperate so the game has to register 2.3k items, individually and idk if thats with the gold and xp as well but if so it would explain why it freezes, so i feel like they should make the items stack so it doesnt freeze my game.

by Pork K

This is such a fun game to play for all the reasons other raters have mentioned, but there’s a bug that happens just frequently enough that I’m getting pretty peeved by it.

About every 20 ads or so, the ad ends before the name card pops up that you have to close out of and it softlocks the game. You can see the ability select screen but can’t click on anything, and if you close out and reopen it allows you to continue your campaign but doesn’t bring up the ability select screen again so you lose out on potentially gaining a run-changing ability.

I noticed it seems to happen only on the playable ads, so it might be a problem with the way the ad player injects its process or whatever

by SethKvng

But I love getting nothing from event runs because I utilize the option “get all” for watching an ad. But the ad is broken and it glitches out and you can’t click on anything. So your forced to reset. You can’t go back in so the first run is gone. Stop adding ads that break the game

by Dustin Ault

Have really enjoyed the game, having minor issue where the character will start fighting things to the left, off screen, causing game to freeze sometimes.

by U Dont Need To Know Peoplez

Instead When U Hit “Get All (Watch A Video)” How Abt not take all the balls u have cause someone could have 5982 balls n once they watch “Get All” They are back to 0 Sooo how about Take away the amount IT WOULD TAKE For All 3 items for all the character that r Good. And The Axe dude for close range, Change him to where if he is Infront of the targets he still hit them cause I’ve gotten close to them so many times and he was right infront of their face that I could flick my finger at and he still doesnt attack. Soo if you could possibly or potentially Change these Certain features sooner than later. I would be happy to see the changed n difference it makes Thank You Very Much.

by Jp 212

I’m really enjoying the game, especially the ball drop for my OCD brain. But watch out for all the ads if you aren’t willing to pay $10 to remove the forced ads ONLY. Other than that, you need diamonds for the rare hero tokens, or pay $ for them when there might be a pack or the paid rewards during an event. Grinding gear and gear upgrade material is definitely necessary for making progress. The “Collector’s gear” set is a must for this. Once I reached all red gear though, even the impossible level bosses are simple one-hit kills. PLEASE add challenging levels for end game gear and heroes. I’m sailing through the 150s with level 5 heroes with no perks (you get them level 7-11). This game has become just a boring evening time grind at this point. Update with harder levels! I was expecting impossible to be…well, impossible!

by NealenNerd

Lot of fun even if it becomes a bit of a grand later on. I would like a faster method of merging the items as things get even slower when you get to mythic gear.

I don’t know if this is consistent in other people’s play throughs but my game seems be bugged because at Chapter 74 my character is stuck running in place with all the enemies stacked on top of each other, so I’ve been unable to progress sadly.

by MrKeffer

This game is amazing! It has a simple mechanic but requires strategy as you build through the levels.
I would love to see equipment that matches the heroes and maybe some kind of PVP where you challenge a player after five rounds of building your boosts.
Great game! Please keep it going!

by GGGGGGOOOOODDDDDDD

I really like this game I just want it to be known some of the legendary powers are bugged. I’m using the green boots which are supposed to give you +15% life steal but this does not show up in my stats nor amd i getting the buff. I am also using the Viking helmet and that gives you +15% chance to pierce armor and again it’s not in my stats nor have I ever seen it work. Love this game just want to see it work.

by Mon0329

I’m truly enjoying the game however the only thing that is a problem for me is that when I’m watching an ad to get rewards it doesn’t respond to when I press the X button. Some ads just continue to make me play their “trial” and not take me back to Cup Heroes. It’s like it’s telling me to play their game and forget about Cup Heroes.

by Abcd12345wfghi67800

Really fun game, I’d like to see a couple additions though. I get a massive collection of gear, a lot of which I do not need, and once the collection really gets up there, my game lags a bit. It would be nice to sell or destroy, maybe even disassemble gear and get some designs for them. I also have no clue how the filter slot works because I’ll merge two things and the merged creation goes to the bottom of my gear area. Nonetheless, it’s a fun game, worth buying no ads for.

by EmbienOMM

It’s actually a great game, really scratches some itches in my brain, from the gameplay to the noises. It is a little annoying to have ads played in the middle of a run, most games don’t tend to do that, but I enjoyed the game enough to purchase the beginners pack which disabled the ads permanently; leaving only the optional ones. All in all I’m enjoying my time playing and if you want something to pass the time in a fun way, give it a try and maybe support the devs by buying the beginners pack.

by ZombieJess9000

This game keeps me busy. I really enjoy it but there are some things that I wish could be different. I wish you could keep your balls after the levels and pick more than one level up at a time that would be something nice to add to the game.
