  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of Hero Puzzle is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users labeling it as a poorly executed mobile app masquerading as a legitimate PC game. The game is seen as part of a trend of low-quality "shovelware" that relies on misleading advertising and fake reviews to exploit unsuspecting players, particularly those drawn in by its promotional content. Overall, the monetization strategy is viewed as exploitative and deceptive, aimed at maximizing profit rather than providing a quality gaming experience.

    • “Hero Puzzle is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a 'pin puller', which means you put your finger on your iPhone screen to drag pins and various other objects around, releasing the potential energy of stacked objects (traps, piles of coins, etc.) that then fall down with the usual bad iPhone physics we expect from shovelware dumped into the trash end of Steam as a nasty cash grab.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the mobile app launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the mobile app, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
    • “Clearly as much of a scam as all those mobile game ads, which I'm betting are the reason 90% of people will get tricked into buying this trash.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, citing uninspired level design, basic mechanics, and an irritating soundtrack that detracts from the overall experience, making it feel like a waste of time and effort.

    • “Unimaginative levels, simple fluid mechanics, and an ear-grinding, super annoying soundtrack. Seriously, not worth the time or effort.”
  • humor
