Archero Wiki

Me and my dad love this game but sometimes the game can be a pain in your body. I’m gonna start with how much bugs this game has and what I mean by that is when something jumps in the air or something falls from the sky and that enemy is about to fall, you already take damage when that enemy hasn’t even touched the ground. Another bug the game has is when I have front arrow and multi arrow combined, you do less damage then do more damage especially with saw blade. There are many more bugs but there is just too much bugs to explain. Also the new co-op mode is dumb first of all, second of all you can only play with your friends, third of all, you need to type in a password to join a group. The game is fun but also a headache and I just wish this game was not so dumb and would just let you join a group without a password. I have one more thing for this game and that is the chest requirements. I just don’t know why they had to make one chest 60 gems AND THE OTHER ONE 300 GEMS and I just don’t know why that’s a thing I mean the purple chest could be like 2 times or 3 times the requirements for the normal chest but 5 TIMES THE REQUIREMENTS is to far. Ok I’m gonna stop picking on the game and just play and not think about how weird the game is.

TLDR: Some issues nothing bad, best on market, weird upgrades in arena, really really grindy to get an epic, costs energy to play. In my genuine opinion this is by far the best mobile game on the market at this current moment and nothing compares to this game. The only problem is how long it takes to grind to an epic level item and how you only can open an obsidian chest every 7 days when they still have a very small chance of giving you an epic rarity item. In addition to this, the upgrades you get by leveling up in the arenas are a bit weird, such as having a clone of you pop up and attack for you without having the same stats or upgrades from that one run. Habby should work on tweaking their upgrades in the arena and the energy system. It is super annoying to run out of energy and then you sit there thinking “Well I can’t play this anymore” All in all this game is very well rounded, very very solid choice for a game, amazing response time and gameplay, intriguing and different every time you go into the arenas. The difficulty is progressive which is amazing as the monsters get more extravagant with every different arena. Very solid and amazing mobile game!

I really have enjoyed this game from the get-go. The item system is claimed to be flawed but I don’t much mind a little grind for scrolls. When I first got the game (about 2 months ago) I thought “there’s no way this isn’t pay to win!”. But recently, I think I found out how. The mid game grind for experience levels is SUCH a grind that killed my streak of enjoyment for the game. I’m currently level 33 in the purple arena (I think that’s world 4 or 5) and after every defeat my level bar only increases by what seems like 10%. So, in other words, with my energy only allowing me 4 games, it takes like 3 separate days to level up, only to upgrade one of the nine slots on the upgrade screen, which is fairly insignificant. I’m now up to 80,000 unused gold, and my only method of progress at this point seems to be buying chests- which is not very appealing. My recommended fix- either nerf the Grindy leveling system, allow 2 or 3 upgrades when u level up past a certain point, or straight up add a new game mechanic or mode (like a story mode or endless mode) that helps buff your leveling progress. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a prestige system in this game either. I would still recommend this game to everyone, I just want to see a good game flourish when something this minor causes such a large issue for progression.

I’ve been on stage 7 Barrens of Shadow for weeks without being able to get farther than chapter 8/10. I’ve beaten all three hero stages. I’ve upgraded 52 times. My attack is 1054 and my max hp is 3807. Currently, I’m using Artreus with an epic tornado (level 39), epic vest of dexterity (level 40), epic elf (level 37), rare serpent ring, rare wolf ring, rare laser bat. All my rare equipment is at level 30. However, I have a loaded collection of useless equipment that will never get used and can’t be traded, but yet I keep getting more useless equipment from the chests that don’t help me upgrade what I actually want to use. It takes too long to gather enough items to upgrade to epic level or above. It takes too long to upgrade to obtain a talent that may not even be noticeable enough to make a difference or give me an advantage. It takes too long to accumulate gems. I have about 650,000 coins that I can’t purchase anything with except upgrades or the rare occasions that I can buy equipment during play. What’s the point? It’s not enjoyable to have played this game for so long only to still die within 1-3 hits. Why so many coins if I can’t spend them to buy equipment or gems? Please take this review seriously. It’s a fun game, but I’m losing patience and desire to keep playing.

I don’t usually leave reviews, just for the games I enjoy. With that being said, I love this game. It’s different, it’s hard, it’s unique in its levels (levels are never the same, just the location you are in stays the same). There is one thing that I don’t really like. I am currently on a section where I have to improve gear in order to beat the level, which happens a lot and it’s fun but, I currently have almost 100,000 currency with nothing to spend it on. I think if low tier items would be available to purchase, then you could save, buy what you think you need, fuse 3 together to make one of the next tier and keep going. I do however like the randomness of leveling up your items. When playing through, sometimes there’s weapon token drops or armor token drops and it’s all kind of randomized, which is cool. I think if you added something like that to how you can purchase things, that would be great. I like the randomness because you can’t make yourself “OP” right off the bat, you have to collect upgrades that aren’t all the same. That’s my 2 cents. Definitely an awesome game, will keep playing, will keep recommending even if my suggestions don’t happen, just think it would be nice to spend some of this gold I’m stockpiling currently.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a really fun game to play. But when you try to mix RNG, skill based gameplay, and grind together, you end up with a really frustrating game that leaves you contemplating whether the expense of time was worth it. Going a bit more in-depth - I’ve been playing this ever since its first couple months and I have yet to acquire a legendary item. If it wasn’t for me sinking quite a bit of $$$ into the game I wouldn’t have perfect epic items in my possession to this day. Or perhaps I simply don’t play enough on the daily due to other obligations. The drop rates are abysmal when it comes to trying to upgrade higher grade gear. I feel that the daily dungeons available in different difficulties are very much needed, and drops rates actually proportionate to the difficulty. From months of experience it is apparent that the outcome of the dungeon has already been decided by chance. I am quite confident with my own skill, but inherent skill can only factor in so much with the difficulty of some dungeons. If you end up with great abilities, a breeze. If you end up with bad abilities, you’re destined to lose quite early. I cannot tell how many times I contemplated just quitting the dungeon before it even started just because of the horrible starting abilities. I’ll be much obliged if there was an option like watch a video to “reroll” abilities every time you level up, a suggestion from a review I made months earlier.

I saw the game from pewdipie’s video and gave it a try. As a game it’s really great. I don’t really mind the energy thing as it takes me off the game after a while so that I don’t spend hours of my day basically wasting my time. I understand the other complaints about the energy system because 10 mins per energy is quite long when you need 5 to play one round that might last you less than 5 mins. Maybe 3 mins to charge each or maybe even 5 would’ve been bearable. Next are the item and health drops. It’s quite frustrating to advance far from the beginning (I’m on chapter 3 which might not be too far) but still have beginner items, which I know can be upgraded but common is still common and has an unsatisfying feel. Lastly the health in game, specifically on chapter 3. There are waves of enemies per room that will spawn with a timer and you are bound to get hit if you weren’t able to take care of the wave before and enemies stack up. There should be more health drops than there is because it’s quite impossible to dodge almost 10 long range attacks that doesn’t care about obstacles. I knew this game was gonna be one of those “pay to win” games which only care about squeezing as much money from someone until they get bored. In summary, better or more item drops, more health drops, less energy timer. I honestly think how the game works is amazing except for all the priced stuff

The new expedition levels are a nice addition, however level 180 is impossible. I understand they are supposed to get more difficult as you progress, but there is literally no way to pass the level. Three bosses that spawn in 30 second intervals, two of which are impossible to kill in 30 seconds. Which means if the one easy boss doesn’t spawn first, you will end up fighting two, then three bosses at the same time. Every time I attempt it, I die BEFORE I even kill one probably about 70% of the time, and it’s always the easy boss... there is no set of equipment that makes it any easier, no maneuvers or tactics to kill the bosses in an easier way. In order to pass the level you would literally need to survive, in a small room, while you are a “giant”, with 2-3 different bosses with different attacks and mechanics, while only being able to take 2 hits, dying one the third, for like 4 minutes, that’s how much health they have. relies too much on luck and not enough on skill. Two of the bosses have WAY too much health. Lowering the HP would probably solve the problem and make the level actually worth attempting. I also believe the progression of the game as a whole relies too much on luck and not enough in skill. The fact that you will never pass a chapter until you get lucky and get the perfect set of perks along the way really kills the point of the game.

I have played this game for almost a year now, and i think your game devs did a great job. I’ve contributed some good money to this game because I’ve enjoyed it, up until the point im at now. I have all perfect epic gear, that mostly was earned by playing and not making purchases. It is near impossible without buying anything to get to that point without putting in ridiculous hours into the game. Your drop rate for armor/weapons/lockets etc. in normal and heroic stages, and even events that are supposed to drop them are way to low! Second, some of your abilities are useless, whenever a player sees them automatically will know they lost. Circle abilities, and swords, meteors, side arrow, rear arrow, poison, they are horrible, and do little to no damage at all. The abilities that win stages are: ricochet, multi shot, blaze, shock, freeze, and sometimes front arrow +1. Third. I noticed that once you have three front arrows, if all three of them don’t hit your damage is NOTHING. It is only good for bosses as their hitbox is large. Most normal enemies in your game do not have a hitbox large enough for all three to hit, at least easily. Fourth, setting up ranged purple health plant enemies behind barriers you cannot attack through on “hero mode #12 “ dungeon of traps, they attack way to quickly to be able to maneuver around without taking damage, it’s ridiculously hard.

This game is pretty stuffed with micro transactions, and has an energy system, one of the number one things to turn me off from a game. However, it has an extremely fun, addicting, and legitimately good game on its hands. Port it to other systems like PC or console, add cosmetics, more gameplay and options on the menu to keep people coming, remove energy, remove micro transactions, make it 5-10 bucks, and boom you’ve got an incredible rogue-like on your hands. But in its current state, I can’t give it five stars mostly because of the energy system. Let me play your game, don’t make me wait a day after playing for twenty minutes. Reminds me a lot of a game I played (Can’t remember the name, it’s like Temple of the Skull or something like that). It’s a fun game, but the micro transactions, energy system, and ads make it an annoying experience when you are getting into it. If I could, I would give it a 3 1/2 because it is really fun, but the energy system is a terrible business practice that has been proven not to work many times. I would absolutely recommend to my friends, but I still think this game needs some changes. I also think they need to keep updating to add some more game to its bones. Add more systems, upgrades, cosmetics, and boom, you’ve got a cash cow.

Archero is fantastic and fresh, for awhile. You’ll hear me say “for awhile” a few times in this review because the game is great, until you hit that pay wall. The game is completely free to play, for awhile. The game feels new and unlike anything else, for awhile. Eventually you delve deep into the game and you’re faced with the exact same monsters you faced before just much harder, leaving no desire to keep going. You eventually hit a point where the game is so challenging it’s impossible to move on without spending money or waiting months (yes months) to get enough gear to move on. You’re able to open a chest once a day for free, and it’s notorious for giving nothing but rings and spirits (pets.) You’re also able to open a premium chest for free once a WEEK, and while that chest is okay, it’s nothing that’s going to get you any further in the game until you can open 8~. So you’re looking at 2 months before you get any decent gear upgrade. I’ve unfortunately put quite a bit of money into this game, and I regret every purchase. I’ve almost finished the entire game, but I don’t really care to keep going because I’m done spending money on it, so I’m basically stuck until I decide to spend more. Don’t download this game unless you have patience of a saint, or money to throw at it.

I’ve been playing this game for about 5 months now, and had no complaints up until about recently. The more the game is updated the more they decrease the drop and rate and up the difficulty, especially for the gear event. I have 6 out 8 gears EPIC and the remaining 2 are RARE bracelet/locket, and can’t make it past level 5-10 now, with a maxed out weapon time and time again. Not only does it take from the joy of the game it’s completely frustrating because in those 10 levels I acquired no gear or just one if I’m lucky....on a GEAR RUN. The ads that are offered for the events crash 85% the time they are offered not only taking my energy but the money and any scrolls and gear I have acquired and since events are only offered 2 times before a gem requirement I lost one of my chances to play. I’ve emailed them various times over various different issues and incidents and have had no response. I would really love to see these things improved and worked on so I could go back to enjoying the game like I once did before. NOW, we have a new season with literally mediocre rewards when once upon a time for a season there would be 3/4 keys through there’s literally just one key at the end after having to kill hundreds of monsters. Just gets less rewarding every time.

I’ve been playing since release. Spent a little money on it, and a lot of time... they keep adding too many confusing and pointless layers to the game, and it’s just getting too complex and tedious. You’re not rewarded for practicing, and it takes too long to level and grow your gear. Don’t waste your time and please DO NOT waste your money. As soon as you upgrade an item or some gear, they add new stuff to the game that takes months and years to upgrade, or MONEY if you want to speed the process up (and it’s all random/luck). The mechanics in this game are awful, it doesn’t matter how much you grind or how good your gear gets, mobs always hit for proportionally the same amount of your total hit bar, and your attacks hit for the same %... it’s the same game over and over again no matter how high your get or how good your gear gets, the experience doesn’t change and it will leave you feeling tricked and cheated by the developers. They need to add more ways for new players and players in general get gear and upgrade their items, not add new and better items that you can’t obtain or upgrade without spending money to do so. Video games, especially mobile games, are such a joke and are absolute robbery. If this was a complete game with fair mechanics and content updates, I’d happily pay $40 for it plus a battle pass, but if you want the “full” experience and the best gear, you’d have to spend $1000 at least to get your gear leveled up.

The game is fun especially when your doing good but there are major problems hit boxes are horribly unforgiving and punish you when even when it looks like your not hit there can be more than 10 enemies on the field at once damage is excessive against you some projectiles like the sand storm in chapter 2 follow you some enemies follow you relentlessly ignoring that I have freeze on and I’m hitting them back and there are many many more problems I hope you guys fix them and then the game will probably be really fun also I don’t understand why you need to wait to get an ad when I have a free chest ready it will say as not ready yet then why are you showing me? I also don’t understand why you need a connection if some sort to the Wi-Fi for literally almost everything it’s annoying most of the enemies have extremely high health and I find my self spending like 2 minutes on a level because I can’t kill this guy I also feel like most of the time levels are way to excessive I’ve spent several weeks on the first 2 chapter because of how difficult they are it’s unfair the earn rate of those tokens for unlock able upgrades are horrible but other than that it’s decent and flat out stupid luck also the energy system is stupid take it out please because once your out it forces you to pay which is horribly greedy or watch an ad which you only have 5
