Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes Wiki

I’ve been playing Star Wars GoH for around 2 years and am a ftp player. I just recently rose to level 85 and am finally starting to get some of those great milestone achievements. However, I must warn that to all players who don’t spend money on games, getting good at this particular one is going to take a lot of time and commitment. Leveling up is rather tough once you start to get to some higher levels and many of the people who do spend money can just buy the relatively new hyperspace bundle which gives a bunch of characters and bumps them to max level. Doing that without buying it takes about a year or so if you are staying on top of the daily quests and even then it’s a bit of a stretch. However, once you are st max level the game gets very fun. You can start to built select squads and join guilds to compete in special events. Although everything is much easier by paying (as you would expect), once you get to a certain point it’s still interesting to play and you can compete against those who do pay. The one thing you will probably never get to equal in without paying is your galactic power as it took me over a month just to get my Jedi squad to at least gear 12. To conclude, I definitely recommend this app to everyone as it is very enjoyable with the many features it has to offer. Just remember the commitment you must offer in return to enjoy everything.

I’ve been playing this game for about 6 months now, and I haven’t been able to put it down since. Steady content you can play throughout the day if you’re bored; with deep complexity for long term playing, and a more serious approach if that’s something you’re interested in. Playing with out spending money to advance is definitely possible in this game. All of the pay to win aspects only change the game for you if you’re inpatient. If you want instant gratification this isn’t the game for you. The only thing I dislike about this game is the character packs you can purchase with crystals. The randomness of possible character shards when buying a character specific pack can be pretty bad, ranging from 5 to unlocking the character max level if you’re lucky. For new players who are unaware of this it can seriously ruin the whole experience and dissuade a desire to play more, and for people who do toss some money to EA; buy more crystals/other content in general. Overall though this is a very well made mobile game with great developer support, and fresh new content consistently being released. It starts out very simple, and challenges you to get better as you continue playing. The groups you can join are consistently filled with friendly people who are willing to help you learn and play as well. Perfect for all Star Wars fans

So fun and addictive. Can spend hours just clicking around. Great to play free or invest in. Sometimes the app force closes at times that will cost you an opportunity. EA customer support will have you reinstall the game, saying that should fix the issue, but it doesn't. The limit of characters you can type in chat should be increased by 20% & it shouldn't wipe chat after it's 50 lines old. Having to extensively use Discord to chat is both a blessing and a curse. Minor annoyances in an otherwise great game. Would love to see a new beast to fight. Rancor needs a buddy. Great work. Keep it coming. Edit: been playing daily for 3+ years now, multiple accounts. So addictive. Always challenges you to learn more about team composition and choose who to level up. Daily grind is fun and also consumes you. Now - the bad stuff. Capital Games has had time and plenty of chances to improve communications but they don’t. They seem to both love and hate their player base. Each new toon fits into too narrow a team selection, cross-faction theory crafting is not broad enough. New toons are too powerful, a very slippery slope that reduces the game more and more to rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock. CG does not invest a high ratio of their dollars into hiring enough talent and it shows. While a brilliant engrossing game, there are now enough detractors to make veterans quit.

This game has to be my all time favorite app. It is truly one of the best games I’ve played, definitely the best mobile game I’ve ever played. The game features a satisfyingly plentiful collection of characters from throughout both the canon universe and the Legends universe. The game never gets boring as there’s always something new and always something to work towards. One of the most Interesting things about this game which sets it apart from most games like it, is the fact that you don’t “Have” to pay actual money to progress in the game, though there are many benefits to doing so, either way you’re going to have a really fun time with this game I highly recommend it to not only anyone who loves Star Wars, but to everyone, as this game has something for everyone. This game is also constantly getting new content (i.e. Characters, ships, events, and other features) evolving, growing, adding, and expanding, as Star Wars itself continues to evolve, grow, add, & Expand. I might also add that the game is super addicting in all the best ways, features amazing graphics and most of the gameplay handles like a Pokémon battle, but 100 times cooler, but that’s just the types I’ve Unlocked so far, I am interested to see how ship battles works. In conclusion This game is something everyone should give a try.

Hello, first off I would like to start off by say that I really enjoy this game especially the events and new character events. It really adds to the game and keeps it fresh and I always look forward to new ones! One thing I did notice though is that for almost every boss you fight is also a playable character except for the Jedi temple guards. I know there’s Jedi guardians but it’s a little different. It would definitely be cool to have the temple guards as playable characters to your team. They could be tanks, offer support or protection to other Jedi’s. Another cool character to add would be the grand inquisitor. Attacker, Sith empire, have a spinning lightsaber to block attacks. Some other ones I think would be cool is Ashoka from season 7 of clone wars with her two blue lightsabers, the child from the mandalorian. (He would be with Mando in his beskar armor, similar to how we have Chewie and 3PO. But the child would also be cool by himself.) Hondo Ohnaka, who else is going to score you more credits then him? Okay maybe not a lot for you since he’ll take 80 to 85% of the profits, but how much fun he would be to play as and be put on a team of smugglers. And one more would be Lando from ROTJ and you can have him fly the falcon with Nien Nub in ship battles. But overall just a fun of the game. And recommend it to any SW fan.

I have been playing this game for so many years and it never ceases to amaze me with all of the new updates and content. It is always similar to how I would envision the characters to be. The gameplay is very very fun and makes it seem as if I am actually recreating the battles. The only thing I’d say is unfortunate is that once you get into the higher levels it is difficult to find a fair fight in the squad and flight arenas as you need to have a team to even stand a chance. If it is possible to have opponents based upon your characters you are using them it would be much better in my opinion. However I know that most people in the higher ranks of the arenas are going to have op squads, hence the name squad arena. However the battles are amazing and super fun. The energy seems to dissipate really fast though. Maybe it’s just me. Love the game and hope that it is continued to be updated and have more content coming soon. Loved the Jedi Knight Revan update a whole lot. He is beautiful and his robes were done so well it made me want to get him so bad. It is similar with all of the other legendary characters. Very beautiful and very well done nothing looks to be left out. Thank you so much for this beautiful Star Wars game. It’s amazing please keep up the hard, but beautiful work.

They must have lowered the chances of getting shards for characters. I’ve been playing this game since about when it came out and there wasn’t much to do (except for a couple months after Disney bought Star Wars). And earlier this year I was able to get a character unlocked and 7 stars after maybe a week and a half or two if I use my energy on it every day. I was actually able to grind for characters. But at some point, I started only getting maybe 1 or 2 shards a day (even spending saved gems to refresh I won’t get any) so I’ve spent dang near all this entire year of 2019 trying to get 2 characters to 7 star. 2 characters. They have been 5 and 6 stars for longer than I can even remember specifically anymore. And when I try to get support. It’s just send an email or post. Nothing happens. But that’s probably just EA. I love this game and I love playing it. But for months upon months all I can do is use all my energy every day and get 1 or 2 shards sometimes getting none. I’ve started just to play other games and forget to come back. If this can’t get fixed I’m gonna quit and I’d recommend new players stay away. You won’t get anywhere and it’ll be a waste of time.

While this game is fun it could be better. They need to add a global chat because right now if you want to chat you can only do it if you’re in a guild or if you make a chat with all of your friends in it. They also need to make it easier to find active guilds & players around your level(I’m in a guild myself already but I’m the only officer in the guild still active and most of the players in the guild aren’t active and I’ve been looking for awhile for an active guild to join but it’s hard to find one. You need to be in an active guild to do the raids because otherwise it’ll take awhile to generate enough raid tokens and raids are the only way other than using your gems to get some of the gear you need for your characters and the harder tier raids, which need like an active full guild to do, is the only way to get character shards for certain units. Also if you want to be able to do some of the events and the ship battles than you’ll have to spend money on gems or packs to get enough shards to not only unlock the unit but to get it to a point where you can use them for all levels of the event(this is especially true for the ships because the only other way would to be only buying 4-5 shards at a time every day for the ship you want from the ship arena store and what it offers changes daily so it can take awhile to get enough shards and therefore by the time you might get enough shards the ship event might be over).

I remember when this game was first released. I downloaded it immediately and enjoyed it so much. I grinded my way to max level (I think 60 at the time) and was top 20 in the squad arena for the longest time. It took quite a bit of effort be able to do so well, but it wasn’t impossible. There was items in the store you could buy that would give you boosts, but there went a whole lot of options and they didn’t have such a significant Well, I had to stop playing because I left for the army after high school. I had mostly forgotten about the game and finally came back to it a couple months ago.. and I’m SEVERELY disappointed. It’s still a cool and interesting game that I want to love so much. But there has been so much added to the game that it’s impossible to keep up with top players unless you have HUNDREDS of dollars to spare. Literally. I can’t imagine being a brand new player to the game as of now and trying to level up and catch up with these top guys. A bundle you can buy in the store automatically brings you to level 85 (now the max) and a bunch of resources and other things. How much is it? Not something reasonable like $25. Nah, it’s 90 DOLLARS. Other bundles are the same price. I will never understand the price-gouging greed that companies like this practice so frequently, but it completely ruins the game. If it weren’t for the pay-to-win meta and how much you actually have to pay to keep up, I’d give it 5 stars. Do better.

Of course with all free games it's definitely got that pay 2 win aspect going on. Don't get me wrong I haven't spent a dollar on the game so far and I'm level 57, but I do feel like I'm missing out on a lot of aspects, like challenges and special events, because I don't have the characters or resources to do them. In order to get the most out of this game you're going to HAVE to either pay or wait until your maxed, and getting to max without paying is going to take a looooong time. Word of advice for new players or even current players: DO NOT ever buy the data card packs with your gems. They're rigged and I'll share my personal experience with you real quick. Trying to get my mother Talzin character to 4 stars a few weeks ago I bought the clan mother pack which has a chance of dropping anywhere between 5-330 shards for her, I only needed fifteen. I got 7, I was incredibly angry, but I thought it was just bad luck. Today, saving up enough gems again to purchase it, bought it again like an idiot, and this time you know what I got? 5. I got 5 shards for her, the minimum amount you can get. So out of those two data card packs I got 12 out of a possible 660 shards, you tell me that isn't some fishy BS. Oh and those two combined were worth over 2000 gems and I still wasn't able to get my mother talzin to four stars. Like I said the pay 2 win aspect is pretty moderately pressed on you in this game but it's still alright.

I’ve been playing this game for near three years now. It has been my go to game. However, it’s becoming quite stacked. Beginning game is fun and quick to progress with tons of characters. But, the mid to late game is crap. PVP events are next to hopeless if you don’t spend money on the game in order to obtain gear to match that of other players. The legendary events for “legendary” characters are ridiculously difficult. You need to be in a guild if you want to progress at normal speed to obtain better gear or earn certain “legendary” characters. You shouldn’t be forced to be in a guild if you want to progress. Guilds are touchy and usually led by folks who take this game way too seriously. Guilds requiring use of discord or requiring mandatory participation in all events is absurd. I’ve been in guilds that require you run all incoming “absences” or be kicked. As if this game should require you to call out like you would for a work shift. All characters should be available to be recruited like normal for everyone. And, legendary events should not be as difficult as they have become. If the “legendary” character is that good to begin with then you shouldn’t have to quadruple the attacking rate of the AI team. App games are meant to be casual mini-games. Everything should be equally accessible and leveled starting field for players of all levels. Beginning, mid, late game...it shouldn’t be this stacked against everyone who doesn’t obsess about the game.

The cash grab is real. It is VERY difficult for ftp players to compete in pvp events. The whales will have the latest new OP toon that is nearly impossible to beat unless you have them too. And, if there is some existing toon that can beat them, the developers nerf them so they can’t. If you have patience, and are willing to accept the fact that you will never be on the top 20 of pvp, then you can still find some enjoyment in this game. I am on this category, but it’s not without frustration. The shard drop rates are actually insulting and should be fixed but they won’t because, you know, $$$$$$$. You can easily do 15 battles and get zero shards. It happens to me and my guild mates regularly. So you’re forced to spend huge amounts of crystals for a pitiful amount of way over priced shards. It really is a slap in the face to the players and tbh will probably be the reason I quit the game. There needs to be a minimum guaranteed amount of shards per attempts, even if it’s 1 in 10! The gear wall is extremely frustrating too, you’ll need 200 or more pieces of a certain type of gear for one toon which are also outrageously overpriced and sometimes may not be available anywhere and also have a horrendous drop rate from battles. AND, you’ll need these for a bunch of characters at the same time too. At any rate, you’ll still enjoy the game if you have a tremendous amount of patience and/or 100’s of $ laying around to dump into the game.

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes has all the makings of a great game. Cool graphics filled with key characters of the Star Wars series as well as several new unique ones. It is very challenging gameplay: it is filled with multiple games with daily quests/challenges that is well-designed to peak your interest and capture your desire to continue to play on to attain higher levels. However, there is one glaring problem, the creators make it impossible to advance your characters to attain in adequate level during daily challenges to obtain higher rewards. There is a clear emphasis on having the player continue to spend money to upgrade his army of character. However, upon attaining the highest player levels, the manufacturer has rigged the game play so that you are pitted against factitious other teams that are increasingly higher than your greatest teams’ ability to conquer. Despite advancing your characters to higher levels, each day, you begin knocked down to a lower level and are matched up against other squadrons/units with considerably higher skill sets with advance speeds that destroy your units, thereby hampering your ability to advance. Having read multiple other gamers’ reviews, I am sure that the manufactures are well aware of this, yet have not modified the game accordingly. Unless you are of substantial dispensable financial means, my advice would be to avoid this game.

I have played this game for two years and would not recommend to any new players. Legendary events are hard to obtain the new character if you haven’t wasted time and resources farming characters you won’t use except to obtain a broken OP character, that you only get a week to prepare for. Then, depending on your time zone and the number of players in your arena shard, you could get lucky and not have to share payout with anyone allowing you to get first every day with no contest, OR, like me, you could get stuck in a highly competitive, highly saturated payout time and end up having to pay to keep up with guild mates in other time zones that don’t have to share payout with anyone. Plus top tier arena teams are basically just filled with legendary, hard to obtain, characters, OR new characters that are only obtainable by spending $100’s on. And if you spend enough at the right time, they will award high spending players with an additional 20,000 gems just for taking a new, pay to play, character to 7* once released. If it wasn’t for the brotherhood I have formed with my guild mates traversing over multiple games, I would have quit this long ago. Not to mention, when I opened a support ticket the no-reply email said someone would call within 30 minutes, but 2 hours later when EA finally called me, the foreign rep said he couldn’t hear me, even tho I had full bars, and said he would call right back he never did.
