The optimization of the game is criticized for frequent crashes, slow performance, and the need for significant improvements. Users express frustration over the reliance on luck for rewards and the high costs of in-game items, suggesting that better hero acquisition and pricing adjustments could enhance the experience. Overall, the game is seen as requiring substantial optimization efforts to meet player expectations.
“Crashes and hangs up and runs slowly need one big overhaul. Tired of having to force close. If it ran great like the PS4 Pro, it would get 5 stars. Until then, 1 star. Also, if items were cheaper and we could get stronger heroes instead of just 1 to 3 star heroes, like getting 4 star heroes, it would be better. They should do away with gems; they cost too much, and everything else costs too much. If made cheaper and easier to get, and if there was a way to trade heroes for stronger ones, it would improve the game.”
“Poor performance.”
“Still a lot of bugs to fix and a couple of performance improvements needed.”
