Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its smooth mechanics, engaging idle system, and appealing graphics. However, many players express frustration with the high paywall, resource demands, and similarities to other games, which can detract from the experience, especially for free-to-play users. While some enjoy the variety and character design, others find the mid to late-game mechanics lacking and the event challenges overly demanding.
“The graphics are crisp and the gameplay is smooth.”
“Able to skip battles when the gameplay is very long, the amazing graphics, rewards, plenty of heroes, not all the same heroes keep appearing in summon, which makes this idle war game much more interesting.”
“Fantastic characters, design, idle system, interface, gameplay, and events!”
“Not a bad game, but I don't understand why it needs to be 3D and every animation uses more resources than it should. Idle Heroes barely uses any and gives the same gameplay. Developers clearly want players with money; if you can afford better phones, you can afford a couple hundred bucks for their 'gameplay.' Anyway, too much usage from the game for me. On my Samsung A10, it's lagging with full Wi-Fi, and still, the phone can't handle it because of the overuse of 3D animations.”
“The gameplay is fine, but the pricing is ridiculously high, and the event prizes and completion targets are simply ridiculous.”
“Garbage servers, trash mid-late game gameplay. Played for 5 days.”

The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of innovation, generic characters, and a restrictive progression system that requires players to reach certain levels before advancing the main storyline. Many users express a desire for more character backstory and narrative depth, while also noting that the repetitive nature of quests and reliance on leveling can hinder overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, players appreciate the graphics and some aspects of gameplay, but feel that significant improvements are needed to enhance the story experience.
“I absolutely love the game, but it does lack playability. I usually get on twice a day for about 10-15 minutes each time and am unable to do much because it's just login to do quests, and that's all. It needs some work for me to actually continue to play; otherwise, it's just too repetitive.”
“The game is simple and fun, but being reliant on levels to progress the main story does slow down the game.”
“Very good game except for how limited you are to story progression based on level; good game though.”
“No innovation, generic characters and art style, no story.”
“The game is simple and fun but being reliant on levels to progress the main story does slow down the game.”
“The worst part about almost all idle RPGs is the level cap on the story or campaign missions.”

Players generally find the game to be quite grindy, with concerns that those who spend more money have a significant advantage. While some appreciate the overall experience, they suggest that adding more login events could help alleviate the grind associated with leveling up.
“Not a bad game, very grindy and you'll never be as good as the people that pay a truckload of money.”
“That's all I want to say: add more login events. So far, the game is good, though the leveling up is grindy, but what do you expect? It's an idle game.”
“Pretty fun, if just a little grindy.”
