The Lord of the Rings: Heroes Positive Reviews

Solid hero collector game but has issuesThe game is quite solid and I’m an avid player of hero collector games such as marvel strike force and Star Wars galaxy of heroes. This game is quite solid but the main issues are behind the games economy needs to be slightly adjusted maybe make missions more rewarding to farm with gold. Also small things I have to criticize is a bunch of small ui things like missions don’t show the average power level needed. That’s a very lacking feature. They should add a feature to make pre set squads like a light side team and raid squad team. A positive I like is Hero shards are very farmable. Most hero collectors with an energy system I dump all my energy into one character mission farm and get 2 shards this game gives u like 10 or 15 on average which makes it manageable to get heroes. Another system I really is quests I haven’t seen this before in any game. It gives u a chance to collect hero shards. If they integrate this with new characters this would be an amazing feature for this game. If the devs read this good job and I’m very aware the game just came out so I won’t be to critical but this game has massive potential just needs polishing..LAWOO520Version: 1.5.3

Needs improvementI am giving it three stars because it is new. Everyone talks about the gold barrier and it is true. You basically can’t progress after 3 to 4 days of playing. It does make it pretty quick to do daily updates but it is just a wait and grind more gold. Gold needs to be easier to get. The grind should be something else like the gotcha feature. They made it easy to get character shards in game if you want to grind out certain characters that are available as you progress. Mostly unknown or little known characters. I really like the racial synergy that allows you to build same race teams that make your team stronger. Great concept. They help each other in each battle if you have more racial synergy points. It is a expensive pay to win type gotcha. On par with similar costs to Raid shadow legends. There are lower cost ones out there. The story line is actually pretty bad and really doesn’t track well. Plus it seems poorly thought out and it only partially fits the books. I like that you can play shadow or light timelines. Too bad they didn’t do that in Lotro online. Overall a three star for some good game mechanics and being able to grind fast and not have long grinds. Poor storyline and gold barrier seem to be a real issue..Mtblue44Version: 1.5.6

Great game but…..So far the only gripe I have about the game now that I’ve played it a decent amount is whenever and I mean this could happen whenever is that it will freeze up or be like stuck or stalled out at any moment wether I’m loading something or playing a battle when I’m playing a battle I’ll beat all the enemies at a specific stage then my guys will just be standing there endlessly not progressing to the next stage and I have completely restart the app and do it all over again just for it to do the same thing 5 times out of 10 and the same problem will happen sometimes as well when it brings up the loading ring symbol it will just be stuck on that and I have do the same thing close it and re open the app to hopefully get pass that but sometimes it will do right all over again other then that I love it but I’m bias cause I love Lord of the Rings.EddymiboiVersion: 1.6.5

*UPDATED* Bland, buggy SWGOH cloneUpdate: The annoying RESTART bugs have all but disappeared. Yay! Unfortunately, there are still far too many bugs for a high profile game that’s been out this long. The biggest bugs are the game often becoming unresponsive during Auto battle and the game getting stick on a Loading screen after claiming the daily rewards. Customer Support tends to be either unresponsive or utterly unhelpful. That said, there is a lot to like about this game and the more time I’ve spent with it the more I’ve learned its nuances. The many bland, indistinct characters are still a problem though. Original: I expected a LOTR-themed clone of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and that’s what it is. RESTART Unfortunately, the character designs are so bland that it’s often difficult to differentiate between the characters. RESTART With a few exceptions it’s all just a bunch of lookalike humans, elves and hobbits with swords, spears and bows vs lookalike orcs & goblins with swords, spears and bows. RESTART Nowhere near the variety and appeal of Star Wars characters. RESTART Worst of all, the game is super buggy. RESTART And, yes, the game constantly crashes and tells you to RESTART RESTART RESTART RESTART RESTART..S. ShatnerVersion: 1.6.3

Difficult to progress without spending real moneyThe gold issue needs to be addressed ASAP. I know the devs are highly aware of the difficulty for players to accumulate gold, and I hope they’re actively working on it, because it’s getting to the point where the game is unplayable. I’ve spent $300 on in-game stuff because I believed in the game and the devs, but I can’t afford to continue to spend more. Aside from the gold problem, there are some other issues that need to be tweaked, like why can’t I view my arena defenses? An even bigger issue is “The Gardener’s Journey.” One you complete tier 1 and unlock Sam Gamgee, you need to have 4 Road to Rivendell characters at 4 stars, which is near impossible to achieve if you don’t spend actual money. And you’re still accruing “Sam campaign energy” that you can’t do anything about. And Arwen, how am I supposed to get her to 5 stars if I can’t get her shards anywhere BUT the marquee? (Correction, you can spend lots real money to open her special marquee chests at the chance of getting shards) Please fix the problems. There are some other bugs, but they don’t make the game unplayable..MusiqMysfitVersion: 1.5.4

MissedPotentialThis game, like SWGOH, has so much potential. I mean come on, who could screw up Star Wars or Tolkien lore? Enter Capital Games. Other than Activision, I can’t think of a company that hates/neglects/abuses its player base more. I will focus just on this game now. First and foremost, the game crashes nonstop. I have played on a brand new iPad, brand new iPhone 13, and iPhone XR. Same crashes. No difference across devices. There is nothing like losing arena tickets because of a game crash (and I am in gold ranking so I do care about my tickets). How about getting almost through a grueling raid just for the game to crash and have to start over? Speaking of raids, that’s essentially the only game content. Arena and a single boring raid. Want to make your characters better? Better plan on buying lots of gold with real money because they don’t give crap for gold in game. Oh yeah, you guessed it, gold is the driving force behind all upgrades in the game. I never thought I would say this about Lord of the Rings, but pass over this one until they do a complete overhaul (never gonna happen)..Darth ReyienVersion: 1.7.0

Just OK Right NowThe game is fun when there are things to do. Collecting characters is fun, but it there is currently a major major major drought of content to use any of the heroes for. On top of that, nearly every character added is given to every player at 3 stars for free. There is NO FUN in being given every new character for free. None. It defeats the purpose of a game where you have to work towards collecting your desired characters. On top of this, the game runs pretty terribly. Lots of lag, especially when quitting and retrying fights in the raid. Some common, but frustrating graphical issues, such as icons disappearing and having to restart the game to make them appear again. Infinite load screens that are only solved by a restart. Minor issues, but they get quite frustrating when you just want to play the game. I have no issues with the graphics, no issues with the gameplay and no issues with the characters they’ve added to the game thus far. Just give us something to do with them!!.DOMhugsVersion: 1.6.7

Awesome game!I just got the game and am having a blast. My only big critique is that when you complete a mission for the first time you get 1 premium currency. You need 600 to open the lowest level chest. Why even give us the one if that’s it? I don’t think it needs to be a ton but even 10 would feel a lot more rewarding and like I can save up my gems. Also a lot of the promotions are really expensive for what you get. I want to spend money but I am weary to just because I feel like my premium currency doesn’t add up which makes me weary of longevity of play and I don’t want to sink a ton of money into something like that. Like I said great game overall but it would be nice if they changed that :) I started this game with an old phone and it sucked and froze all the time but got a new phone and now it works amazing, just beware!.Del NorteyVersion: 1.6.4

Solid LOTR RPG Game But Lacking Content & a Few IssuesI understand the game is still somewhat new but it has the potential to draw a massive crowd if things are done correctly. Some issues are… Currently, gold is way too hard to obtain without spending tons of money. I don’t want gold requirements to be nerfed severely but it’s incredibly expensive right now. Some of the best Hero shards cannot be obtained unless you spend a buttload of gems (aka real money) The game needs more content that’s F2P or somewhat. You have your light and shadow campaign that lasts you a month maybe if F2P. Guild missions that end a bit sooner usually. After that you can only play one arena (pvp) game every 15 min with a max of 5 per 24 hours unless you spend gems. After that you get to do a guild Raid usually once per week or so that lasts 24 hours per stage (most guilds will clear maybe chapter 1 on average) Besides that there is nothing else to do. The game itself, mechanics, characters, gameplay, etc… is incredible so it 100% has the ability to be a big time hit but it really needs more content to play. Hopefully in time! I definitely recommend playing it though even if you don’t do much besides the F2P stuff. That way you’ll have a head start for when the game has more playable content and game modes..Corey WVersion: 1.6.7

New and waiting content/charactersSo I’ll be the first to admit after reading several reviews and before I made this one. I’m currently lv 50 in game and we just finished our first legendary event. I am also a free to play player and can say the gold and exp issues are true just not as much as other players are talking about them. The game is currently designed for you to build up 1 light/shadow team. Probably once they hit 60 start building a secondary light/shadow team. Obviously max lv will go up and so will gear tier items in the future but for now enjoy the simpler part of the game. With that said all my light/shadow characters I’m using are 45-50. I just think some people are trying to upgrade everyone from the beginning and it’s hurting valuable resources. Raids are potentially around the corner, but for now the game is mostly lacking content/characters but it is new and will be updating as it goes along. Yes pay to play players will get further faster but as the game releases these characters those free to play will eventually have the same character at the same gear tier ability tier and star, so just enjoy your own play style..Daguy55667Version: 1.5.7

Good But Can ImproveFun game. I am a huge LOTR fan and this game is perfect for someone like me. I don’t mind the main fellowship characters not being in the game yet, as I’m sure they’ll eventually make their way into the roster. The one thing that I think needs serious revision is that GOLD is such a scarce material to obtain yet you need it to upgrade everything. Either make it cost less to equip higher level gear or remove the cost to equip gear entirely as you already are spending all of your time and energy on acquiring the gear in the first place. I’m guessing another place to acquire lots of gold will be in the raids but without having that area yet, Im always stuck on almost zero gold after one upgrade. It is a good game but definitely new. I hope the devs will look how the game operates and see how hard it is to even keep your heroes leveled up and geared up with such a lack of gold at this point in the game..Polish45Version: 1.5.4

Decent Start, needs moreIf you’ve ever played a hero collector game before, you already know exactly how this game works. It’s just beginning, so you have a chance to keep up with everyone for now, but there isn’t exactly much to do either. There’s only so many characters, and not to many of them are recognizable unless you’re deep in the lore. My main gripe is there just isn’t enough content right now. Apparently there’s some sort of legendary event in the works and a raid in development, but aside from that, the only game modes are the arena and the campaign. Not a lot going on right now. Capital Games, if you are reading these reviews for whatever reason, you’ve got to get some content out there; don’t hoard all of your characters for legendary events, you’ve got to start dropping them as soon as you can, because in another 2 weeks, the game is going to get very boring, very quickly..ShadeOfSilentFireVersion: 1.5.2

Good potential, but…Game characters often default to their model stances (arms and legs spread). Mostly goblins. As we reach higher levels, the dailies are nothing more than crumbs. A new bug with last update allows a player to select more auto-attempts than is allowed (Hard limit is up to 5 but is allowing the count to go to 20 accompanying an error message). Also, the chat censoring is a joke. Some character names and conjunctions aren’t usable. I also believe the energy system is miscalculated. Ads would be welcome to watch for some replenished energies to allow for longer playtime. Requiring 5 star elves to get Elrond is pretty cruel. Hardly anyone has leveled their elves because they are weak. Now we need them at 5 stars to get Elrond… Shadow and Light should have separate energy types. It’s a bit too slow of a grind. We want to play… let us play! The primary issue is that fans want to play this game the way they want to with their own preferred characters, but the grind is slow and they are required to level characters they don’t want to level. There needs to be more gaming areas the way Galaxy of Heroes does. I want to spend at least half an hour playing, instead, 5 minutes in and I have to wait hours before I can properly play again..Mihaal87Version: 1.5.5

It’s Going downhillI am level 23 for reference and absolutely just sweating out this game, I like it but it is looking almost an exact copy as Star Wars heroes because of the campaign battles there are only 3 and are all exactly like cantina battles and light side and dark battles, if you look at marvel strike force you use different characters, different teams and there are so many campaigns, but this seems to be not going to happen. This game has potential and literally game out 2 days ago and I want to catch one of the devs eyes and let them know that even one different campaign that is different from Star Wars heroes will make the difference and many people would love this game just that much more..The man who helpsVersion: 1.5.2

Great StartI feel bad only giving this a four star review but I’ll explain. Good first: This is a really fun game. I feel like the developers learned a lot with SWGOH and came out with a solid starting lineup of heroes with basic synergies that leaves plenty of space for them to build our factions. The unlock farming is relatively easy and less frustrating than other games and the high shard count for greater levels means you can’t maximize every toon in a week. Feels pretty balanced so far. The not so good: It’s a new game. There aren’t a lot of game modes and there’s almost no point to guilds right now. This will hopefully get better in the near future. Similarly, there aren’t a ton of toons to unlock. The last thing, and this is the reason for the 4 stars, is that the game bugs up and kicks you out so frequently it can feel unplayable at times. I’m not sure if this is a server issue or what, but they need to fix it if they want this to be a long term success. TLDR: It’s still new and it’s buggy, but I like it and I’m excited for the future!.Satisfied clashedVersion: 1.5.7

Can be enjoyable with adjustment to economy systemIt’s always fun to play a game that brings nostalgic memory based on one of the most popular film. For a game that just launched, it is a very enjoyable game and it has a robust features that enables players to have fun with one significant issue. The economy in the game is so unbalanced where gold is hard to come by. It is easier to level up than accumulating gold to level up character that eventually, collection of heroes become so unbalanced when it comes to leveling up or upgrading them. Either each quests needs to give a significant increase in the gold earned or have a separate daily quest to increase the gold input would benefit the infant stage of this game. For example, the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes rewards players with a weekly event where players can be rewarded up to 5 million credits that balances the player’s credit/gold input to output. Once again, this game has ton of potential but what it needs now is the adjustment to the economy ASAP before players start losing interests due to lacking gold rewards or earning opportunity to develop their teams..Kitae527Version: 1.5.4

NostalgiaThis game is really good, it’s like Disney sorcerer or Raid, but it’s better. I’m a long time fan of Lord of the rings, every since I was a kid, but there aren’t that many Lord of the rings games out there, and I think that’s a big mistake. Lord of the rings is on of the best franchises ever and I’m glad it’s growing decades after its first creation from the book. Thank you for building on to this well know and loved franchise! Now I have one problem, but I am forgiving. Every time a goblin character goes to run somewhere or do a basic attack the animation for it doesn’t work. But I know that this game is new and I fully believe that you will fix it..Ashmash278Version: 1.5.3

Keeps freezing/crashingI’ve been playing this game for probably six months now and the freezing and crashing issues I’ve been having have still not been fixed. I have to play this on my old iPhone 8 because it is impossible to play it on my iPhone 13. I still have crashing issues on my iPhone 8 regularly (multiple times a day) and the app just completely freezes up after a while on my iPhone 13 to the point I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Support has been zero help and just tells me it’s a known issue. Well great. I enjoy the game, but losing power so often and having battles just end or freeze isn’t going to keep me playing for much longer..Harpy9Version: 1.7.1

Tons of Potential!This game has a solid foundation for what could be years of fun! However, there is little content available to play right now. In addition to that, one of the game modes; Sam’s Journey is currently not working as intended and players cannot progress. Another problem I have seen is the Mordor team was released with a broken Leadership passive. Effectively making the team pretty mediocre. You can’t sell a team for real world dollars and then wait 3+ patches to fix it. We have very few teams even in the game. As I said, this game is promising, but I hope that these two problems are prioritized rather than left on the back burner. 4/5.-HomeSkillet-Version: 1.5.6

Good starting point just needs more event contentGood starting point for the game has enough content to keep you playing until they release more. One thing I will recommend for new players is build your dark team up to at least heroic 3-1 to unlock merry or your light team of hobbits will be very lacking for protection or counters with just same otherwise go with the Rohan for light they’re slow to start but once all skills are unlocked and upgraded their counters and boosted attacks have a great synergy and you can use 3 Rohan with 2 others to make a well blended guild team..XLordVaderXVersion: 1.5.5

Great game! Wait, Why is there a timer?This game is awesome! I do wish that when the characters health hit zero there was a better animation than them just turning into ash or black smoke, whatever is happening there. Also, why is there a 5 minute timer on arena battles? I can’t count how many times I’ve been 10-30 seconds from winning a battle only for it to say “defeat” because I didn’t do it in 5 minutes. It should have been at least 6 or even 10 minutes. Other than that they make it possible to obtain almost all of the hero shards somehow. Although, some characters are through much slower methods you still get them at a pace that’s not too slow. Of course, there’s a few characters that you’re going to have to spend money to get/upgrade, but it’s surprising how few there are that this applies to. I haven’t spent a penny on this game and I’ve got a pretty strong team..PhilAmongUsVersion: 1.7.1

Theme is driving the gameI love that there’s a LOTR game. However, the theme is the only great thing about it. This is a literal remake from Star Wars and marvel strike force. Same concept, same gameplay, same bottle necks and same ridiculously priced offers and it’s only day 2. How is there an offer for $100 already? It’s following the format of already made games. Unless they reinvent the wheel a bit the same whales that took over the other games will drive this one to the ground as well and the player base will be minimized. It needs new game styles, less bottlenecks and for goodness sakes, slow the whales down! No one should be able to be near max level day 2, no one..SeyariaVersion: 1.5.2

Not a bad start…Needs some improvements here and there but for the most part it’s a pretty launch. Can’t wait to see the roster grow over time and Hopfully eventually some better graphics and what not. Also maybe a raid mode or some other end game type activities later on.Jdksks. s@2@2@Version: 1.5.2

It’s alrightI unlike a lot of people actually love the graphics. I’m a huge LOTR fan so I’m having fun playing the game but you seriously need more content and cheaper packs. I don’t mind spending a bit of money on a game but the only packs that keep popping up are like $139.99 and $59.99. Give me a pack that’s $3 or $5 and maybe I’ll buy it but the prices you have right now are outrageous especially for the amount of content in the game. Do these things and your player count will grow cause it’s way too small right now..Jard1687Version: 1.6.4

Such potential but still needs workHuge fan of hero collectors and LOTR in general. I’ve been playing similar games for years and I can see how this game is going to continue improving and becoming even better. Happy to be a part of the road since the beginning. App continues to have issues, even this far from launch. Goes “non-responsive” in menú very often, needing to be closed and re-opened for it to work again..Maurlc3Version: 1.6.5

Solid gameEnjoying the game so far, don’t love the RNG Heavy nature of the first stage of the raid, but the game has good mechanics and has been regularly adding content and characters.

I beat the first wave and then the game just locks up and doesn’t give me the attack options for the next wave. I quit and come in and I’ve lost the energy because I essentially “forfeit”. This has happened on the same mission now over two days and is halting my progress. After the latest update the problem has persisted.

Needs Work and UpdatesThis game starts out pretty well fun new story, nice character models and fun enough combat. However it loses steam quickly once you have spent a week playing as the pay walls become clear and there isn’t much gameplay left, as even if you spend money much of the game is locked by your levels which take days to move up. Also the amount of visual bugs is insane as currency changes into other icons or is replaced by a white square, which is just plain annoying. This game had promise but needs something more to keep players engaged as it fizzles out quickly with not much to offer needing lots of patches and more content which has been yet to be seen. Connecting to other players is limited by the laggy and glitchy chat and seems like a single player game most the time, if you are a LOTR fan it may be fun for a bit but gets old quickly..PopdamanopVersion: 1.5.7

The Lord of the Rings: Heroes Negative Reviews

Promising but disappointingIf you’re looking for one of the most frustrating game experiences on the App Store, you’ve found it. With the release of the game, CG hyped up its first major content release in Raids, and it has been universally awful. The first chapter of the Mines of Moria raid is immensely frustrating, with multiple layers of RNG that leave all players in our guild angry, frustrated, and dumping hours into a feature for a game that should only take a fraction of that time daily. In addition, raids are both mandatory and unrewarding. So if your goal with your gaming experience is to be frustrated to the point of turning your phone off and walking away, this is the game for you. Players in discord have been complaining about this experience since raids released a month ago, and CG shows no interest in addressing it, so just be aware that your voice will go completely unheard. Additional knocks against this game include: underwhelming graphics and UI, excruciatingly slow progression, multiple resource chokeholds in a wildly unbalanced economy, and paid offers that are laughably pitiful. And a literal unending sea of bugs. Seriously, every week feels like there’s something new that will make you need to restart the app while playing. 2 stars because if you’re playing this game you’re obviously invested in the IP, and because the game has a lot of promise coming from the makers of Galaxy of Heroes. But let’s me honest, this is a really far cry from that..Forest TrashVersion: 1.6.3

Needs an update or better options for farmingThe gold block is so exhausting, I’m level 36 and I don’t have a single character leveled up past level 31 (your characters can level as high as your overall level) gold is so scarce you can maybe get 30k in one day with multiple refreshes on all the campaigns. However that much gold can barely get you 3 pieces of gear equipped on your characters, the fact that it costs so much gold just to craft and equip an item on your characters is insane. On top of that the game shoves all these pay to win options down your throat while offering at most maybe 20k gold in the pack you just bought. So it’s like “great I bought this pack with all these resources now I can upgrade, wait I have to pay 50k gold just to gear up my character with all this gear I just spent $50 on?!” Which is predatory at best. If the money packs were actually good and worth buying I would just be slightly annoyed by it being pay to win, but it’s literally just pay to sit and wait for gold to farm tomorrow. Needs a rewards overhaul and some adjusting in terms of gateways to the next level. Other than that it’s slightly annoying that all the fan favorite characters aren’t in the game yet but at the same time they are more “legendary” just in name so it makes sense. Only giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because I’m not completely surprised by anything that has gone wrong in the game..Ziggy zaggy pro 998877Version: 1.5.3

Just another LOTR cash grabTl;dr: Yet another pay-to-win, low effort game designed to squeeze additional profit by riding the LOTR name. I didn’t have high expectations, but I still came out disappointed. I won’t judge the art style, but I think it could have been done better. The game has several game breaking bugs. You’ll be happy to hear the micro transactions, of course, function just fine. The dialogue of this game is a joke. There are so many redundancies, and characters take crazy events in stride. In act one alone, Arwen is leading an army of orcs and Aragorn is just like “Well, that’s weird.” Like that’s it? That’s the extent of him seeing the love of his life trying to kill him, with orcs no less? Even if that’s ignored, the combat is dull. The graphical effects are pretty sub par for a recent game, and the difficulty curve is so steep that it’s obvious you’re being encouraged to spend money pretty quickly so you can progress. Half of the characters advertised aren’t even available in game yet. All of the interesting named evil characters aren’t available. It’s just full of a few named good characters, some low tier evil ones, and then a lot of random made up characters. The game isn’t a good LOTR game, but honestly, even without that title, in 2023, it’s just not a good game. There are better titles in this genre..Meh pantsVersion: 1.5.2

Fun but not for f2pI love me a good phone/tablet game but i dont always like to pay a bunch of money to them. I’ve spent money before on games (summoners war for example), so im not against it. This game is just a huge money grab: ads popping up for items/equipment every time you close a window, the pvp aspect you have to either wait 15 min for refresh or pay gem (or crystals whatever you want to call them) to refresh — they don’t come easy in game (1 or 2 hear and there) or pay for them of course. Farming takes about 3 seconds cas you only have so much energy and unless you refresh — you guessed it with gems again — you dont get a ton. Farming for characters is extremely slow due to the fact some levels you can only farm 5 times per 5 hours and get practically nothing. I love LoTR and am willing to spend 5 min a day to play this game (for the dailies) but if you’re looking for a f2p game as a main game you play don’t choose this one — go to summoners war. You will hate your life but at least you’ll still be playing a game for more than 21 min a wk lol.Shin'nekVersion: 1.6.4

So slowI really wanted to like the game but I couldn’t. I don’t have the patience for it… the loading is slow, the change from first wave to second wave takes too long, loading dialogue takes too long, clicking things to move forward takes too long. I also don’t understand the heroes thing… like I couldn’t use certain chars even tho I have summon them already. I stopped at lvl 11.. I really can’t continue. Also, I’ve played a lot of games similar in the sense of gearing up. Like you need to farm them, craft them, after you get a full set, it upgrades as whole. This one is so annoying to farm, it auto sets at farm 20 times, but most of the time you get it within the first two times of auto run. So then it means I have to scroll to set it as auto run once, every time I try farming, and it resets per piece of gear. It’s stupid and slow. After you farm the piece, you have to click the end product to craft, making it extra clicking.. redundant actually. It’s frustrating.AngieAngieZzVersion: 1.5.2

Lord of the Lackluster!Melee combat can be visually exciting and given that it is now 2023, I had hoped they would make it so. But instead of great animations, it is basic running across the field and whacking what appears to be a defenseless opponent and then running back. Over and over and over again. Even at 3x acceleration, it feels really slow. Then they added multiple stages with a stupid loading screen between each stage! It takes for ever for a battle unless it is done using Auto. If the animations and fighting looked better, it would be could have been awesome. But instead it is basic and dull. I wanted to love this game as a long time LOTR fan, but it is frankly just about as boring as it gets. The graphics are merely OK. The gameplay is standard fare for this genre and exactly like SWGOH. The P2W offers are starting out at $20 - that isn’t cheap. Another cash grab type game but this one just doesn’t have the eye candy or the fun of other options out there. I recommend a hard pass..DigitalOzVersion: 1.5.2

No offers not much gameplay while raids take too longGameplay is fun but you can finish your daily quests in a few mins. The raids can take too long because of rng and they never spawn the same enemies. For a mobile game that’s in it to make money there haven’t been any offers in months. I’m no whale but I don’t mind spending on a game I enjoy. There’s so much potential but it seems the devs want this game to fail. Since the launch raids have been the only real addition to the game, unless you consider marquee events when they release new toons. Since the beginning of December there hasn’t been any new information on where the game is headed except for one post on their X page. I never witnessed a game more neglected by devs especially when you consider the rich history of LOTR. It’s extremely sad to see a game with so much potential to be treated like this. It’s like the game is something they really could care less about.215villian610Version: 1.7.3

Terrible deliveryHeroes for Middle Earth was a game I had long anticipated coming out and the release is terrible. I played 6 years of Galaxy of Heroes until I got burnt out by what EA had come up with for daily game involvement and now they have greatly underperformed the exact same game only LOTR version. Overall look of the game was never my concern but the lack of characters reacting to hits and style is glaring and distracting. Gameplay is atrocious! Teams and characters are not designed well at all with turn meter a big problem which we can expect mods to be coming sooner rather than later and that just means more money. It’s been weeks and there has hardly been any new content including raids. The longer we wait the more glaring it becomes EA wasn’t ready to launch this game and is hurting everyone who wants to play this game. Even with changes coming in the near future, I would not waste my time or money on this game..SteveD1223Version: 1.5.7

Fun but Needs WorkI am enjoying the game. I play Capital Games’s Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and enjoy that one much more. This game is similar but not nearly as polished as SWGOH. Levels freeze up halfway through, requiring a full app restart (and don’t get your energy back spent on playing the level), game sometimes just doesn’t load correctly. Also, for some reason this app overrides your audio on your phone. For if you’re listening to music and you turn on this app, this app’s audio overrides the audio of your music, so you can’t do both at the same time, which is really dumb in my opinion. Also, SWGOH does not do that, so not sure why a game from the same devs don’t have similar features like that? Overall, entertaining, but not nearly as clean and functional as some other games in the same genre. Willing to stick it out for a bit but we’ll see..RPD23Version: 1.6.2

Needs major improvementsI was greatly looking forward to this game as I love Lord of The Rings and I’ve played similar hero collecting games but this one is a major disappointment to start out. The gold economy in the game is way out of balance with everything costing way too much gold than can be farmed in a day. Once you get heroes to gear 4-5 range you are simply not able to invest any resources into them any further because of the lack of gold. I was greatly looking forward to Elrond joining the game but by requiring elves at 5 stars he will be impossible to get by the vast majority of players during his launch. Overall the game is lacking in content, the art style is holding the game back graphically, and the economy of the game is extremely unbalanced. Hopefully CG will see feedback on the lack of gold in the game and start making fixes or the player pool will dry up fast..J17tVersion: 1.5.7

Game is officially deadThis game had potential and i feel bad for those who spent money on it. The biggest issue was they tried to make exactly like swgoh but somehow made it worse. The money grub from day 1 was ridiculous. Some of the offers where far too high for a game starting out. They had issues before launch and its obvious they really didn't take it on board. It was never about getting player it was all about money. They thought oh its lotr people will drop boat loads. Problem was its the ip for books. Not the movies and their approach was brutal. I played and played in hopes they would fix the issues. Unfortunately they didn't just throwing marquee events down our throats to collect as much money as possible. Cg destroyed what lotr is and what could have been. Sad really cause in the right hands and with more competent developers this could have been epic but its just trash on a phone.Psycho_316Version: 1.7.3

Don’t botherCG, same developers as SWGOH, so if you’ve played the latter, you’ll have a general idea about how this works. Except, while SWGOH is openly predatory in its monetization, it is as at least fun, we’ll balanced for the most part, and rewarding to progress. Heroes of Middle Earth is none of those things. Granted, the game just released so you have very few characters to choose from, but it is already apparent that the design of the balance and character progression is endemic and is something they designed on purpose to get you to spend more money. I’ll give a concrete example of each: - Balance: My arena group is nearing 10,000 power and is all the same category of people and clearly designed with synergy in mind. But they’re so underpowered they regularly get beat by hodge podge enemy teams of 8k power and no synergy. This clearly wasn’t tested even a little bit. - Progression: you will immediately hit a wall in progression by gold. As bad as credits are in SWGOH, HOME is exponentially worse. A single skill level up in a single character can cost an entire days worth of gold earnings, and a single rank up almost a weeks worth. There are virtually no effective ways to gather gold, and your need for it is limitless. This is a shoddy way to treat such an amazing IP and CH should be ashamed of themselves..TiderionVersion: 1.5.3

Needs a big patch to fix a lackluster gameHate to write a bad review but it needs to be said. Cons: FORGETTABLE STORY (The Lord of the Rings is known for its unforgettable story yet this game takes it and throws it in the trash), Low-res graphics reminiscent of ps2 era (hope you like some aliasing), gameplay appears to be inspired by the much older Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (which was inspired by the movies and FFX and WAS good) but is somehow nowhere near as good, hardly any status effects that really take advantage of said combat system (sad considering how good The Third Age was at this), all of the healer characters are conveniently difficult to unlock via f2p so they want you to pay $50 to unlock a healer, poor menu navigation, clunky system for upgrading levels for heroes (you have to do it individually each time), no exploration whatsoever. It feels cheap and unfinished yet they still ask for your $$. Pros: good music (kudos to them), colorful graphics, familiar characters. Makes you feel nostalgic for the old EA Lord of the Rings games (all of which were better than this) when playing it. Conclusion: don’t spend a dime on this. There’s another Lord of the Rings game currently in the app store that’s of much better quality. This one needs some serious work/attention..Super FlyswatterVersion: 1.5.2

Maker of that greedy Star Wars gameI would recommend passing this game. Super greedy company. Also games runs like crap and characters look bad. Also, they probably charge 100 dollars to level up to 85 and unlock a lot of characters like they do in Star Wars game. Also, if you fall behind you probably not enjoy the game a few years from now as this company don’t care about new players anyway like star wars. At least they could do is give more characters or shrink how long it takes for unlocking for players have a chance to have fun. Everything locked behind characters and high pay wall. This game probably be no different in long run. Adding on, it appears they wipe your Game Center clean and you have to start over. What appears to happen to my account. Also makes phone hot and shows no download in back ground. Phone never got hot on this game so they doing something wrong..MagiaDragonVersion: 1.6.0

Be prepared to spendThere is obviously a cash flow problem with the game. Glyphs/mods recently were added to the game at the 6month mark. Usually that’s a late year 2 or beginning year 3 addition for other hero collector games. It’s a sign the financials aren’t going as planned. Also, Characters that were new 6 weeks ago are already losing value. they have begun releasing a new character every 3-5 days. A clear cash grab. Of course the resources needed to level characters up before the next one releases are only available for krakens. Plus there are only so many characters in the LOTR or hobbit. You would think they would slow down unless the goal is to burn through the krakens then put the game in maintenance mode. Game play is same as other type games. Graphics are cartoonish. Nothing special. Skip it even if you love the LOTR.StevethemvpVersion: 1.7.1

A bit much, isn’t it?In a game like this, a long grind is to be expected. But it’s absurd how many artificial bottlenecks are forced onto you to halt your progression. Having “hard mode” missions limited to 5 attempts a day when they’re the only reliable way to get certain character shards and luminous/dark crystals (used for gear leveling) is ridiculous, because the grind for those missions is already locked behind a prohibitively expensive energy cost. The further limitation of the 5 attempt cap per day is painful. All in an effort to funnel players into deceptive, chance-based, predatory purchasing options. The LOTR IP deserves better, honestly. That all said, I still play because I like the characters and book quotes in the adventure mode chapters, even if I hate myself a bit for playing..Petorian360Version: 1.6.2

Decent game held-back by overly pushy monetizationThe overall gameplay loop is very similar to other hero-builder games but the LoTR branding is refreshing. Grinding resources seems tuned considerably too far in the greed/grind direction. A few days into the game and you will hit a point where you just can’t get enough resources to make meaningful changes without spending money. The worst offense is that you can’t go through a single screen transition in the game without it blasting you with offers. It doesn’t entice me to make the purchase, it makes me not want to play when I need to close an ad every 30 seconds of navigating the app. These could be fixed and it could be a fun game, but not really worth the time or annoyance as is, the gameplay just isn’t good enough to justify the grind..RtsboyVersion: 1.5.7

Clone of galaxy of heroesIf you’ve played the Star Wars mobile game by EA and Capital Games then you’ve played this. This is an exact reskin of that game. So what to expect? In the first couple years the game will seem to have promise but will quickly present players with a choice, pay a ridiculous amount of money to win the game or spend all your time on ridiculously bad RNG for things that you can just throw money at. This game is pay 2 win that’s it, sure you could spend a couple dollars here and there, but unless you’re shelling out thousands of dollars into this game you’ll never be able to freely immerse yourself in Middle-Earth. If you are a free player, you’ll be expected to spend all of your time constantly monitoring whatever is going on because the game will penalize players for having a life and not spending money on the game..TacovobVersion: 1.5.2

Insanely Expensive, Slow Gameplay & Just ClickingDecent Graphics. But after a day, you’ll play for only one hour a day, at most, just clicking through the standard quest battles all the while, being offered $100 packages, for an endless array of characters, factions, crystals, etc.. The resources needed to level up and progress are very little, intentionally. ———————————————————————————————————- Just like all the same types of games, you have those spending thousands of dollars to be the shiniest kids on the block and most ordinary players, will have to wait years to level up one team to the maximum, with 25 more teams and years to go. Meantime, you’ll miss out on all the unique, and legendary characters and what you did manage to finally level up, is now obsolete. ——————————————————————————————————- There is no running around and exploring. There is no “controlling” your characters movements. There is no skill involved but just how much you are willing and able to spend to be top dog for a month and then do it again and again, over and over, forever. Ordinary players are simply fodder and entertainment for the P2W players . Good luck!.Silvercgu11Version: 1.5.2

Good for a priceThis isn’t a bad game. I have fun with it even as a free to play player. I also understand that the game needs to make money to stay alive, but a lot of the time these paywalls completely restrict most players from experiencing the full game. There was an Elrond event where if you had five elves to five stars (something already time consuming) you were able to get Elrond. When the fifth elf was released to make the team complete, you could not get her to five stars without paying a hefty sum of money or tons of premium currency for a CHANCE at getting this character to the rank she needed to be. That character is available in the shop now for premium currency, so that’s a cool way to kick people while they’re down. Honestly just go play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. You’ll be behind but it just feels better..Mario/Mega manVersion: 1.6.0

More bugs than contentOnce you get past the opening content, there’s almost nothing to do in the game. You can confidently finish the dailies with one hand in the time it takes to brush your teeth with the other (I have literally done this). The bugs, however, are plentiful. I play on an iphone 12 and encounter a game-crashing bug almost every single day. I stopped to write this review because my game has crashed for the third time in a row attempting the same battle. This battle has existed since the game’s launch. Also, the monetization is easily the worst out of any mobile game I’ve ever played and the playerbase is about 10k people, so those overpriced purchases likely will mean nothing at all when EA drops this game in a few months.This app is God...Version: 1.6.0

Bugs, Gatekeeping, Pay to win, and PS2 graphicsAs the title states the game is riddled with bugs. One of the many bugs I am currently encountering, every time i login the game presents me with an error message asking me to restart and I get the same error message once rebooting. Its happen several days in a row now. I had to create a guild by myself to be able to play a huge portion of the game. All the guilds presented in the guild me u were full, but that doesn't matter because the game is bugged and you cant join any guilds anyways. The game isnt even pay to win, its more like pay to play. Everything is gated behind having certain characters at certain power levels to participate in anything and you drain your stamina almost instantly. So you either spend 5 minutes every few hours over the course of weeks to try to access content or you start buying one of the hundred 20-50 dollar character packs they are jamming down your throat every few minutes. There are many higher quality gatcha games out there that don't gouge you to be able to play..XansyjcVersion: 1.5.3

Raids killed itAlright game otherwise, content could be better but the story and characters are solid… some in-game economy issues but that’s to be expected. However, their first chapter of their raids is atrocious. The RNG metric takes strategy right out of the equation, you literally have to run multiple attempts with the same team and based on the RNG you could get a 20k score or a 275k score doing the same exact thing. People are uninstalling, I have a great alliance I’m the leader of, made a discord and put a lot of effort in and I’m ready to uninstall. The rewards aren’t even worth the work, which makes it worse… Content creators are already calling for purchase boycotts and players are dropping off like crazy. Will likely be a great game once Devs prioritize properly..DuckForce0neVersion: 1.6.2

Two updates since day 1 and still can’t playI downloaded this game shortly after it was released and despite marking a decent way through the tutorial I got stuck. After getting to the section about autocompleting levels with Frodo the game froze, making it seem like everything was fine but in reality meaning I couldn’t click any buttons to get out of Frodo’s gear equip screen. I waited through two updates for this to be fixed, but it seems that the problem has yet to be fixed. Because I cannot play the game, it seems I’d be better if uninstalling it rather than have it take up the valuable space on my phone that it is currently wasting. Really shows that the priority for the developers isn’t the players..Starwars game #1Version: 1.5.4

All grind and no fun makes Heroes of Middle Earth a dull gameThe game isn't ready. Full of bugs. Economy is terrible and not well thought out. You grind and grind for no real progress. Gold is hard to earn and ability and level upgrades cost too much. Things need to cost less or gold needs to be more available. And if you spend real money, you get little value. Combat animation is pretty good, but mechanics are boring. Something is needed to allow for more variation between teams, like mods in SWGOH. Also, unlike other hero collecting games, I don't have any attachment to any of these toons. They might as well be from any fictional world. Part of the joy and what feeds the addiction is collecting toons we know and love. Sure there's the hobbits, and Aragorn, and others, but they just vaguely resemble what we've seen in the movies. They probably couldn't get the rights to likenesses of the actors /actresses but making the toons look more like what we've all seen would help. Been playing since Day 1, but I'm done. It's just not worth the time and effort..WolfywolfywolfyVersion: 1.5.7

Poor quality tech and UE, unbalanced gold wallThis would be a great game except for some major bugs that don’t seem to be getting fixed. The game will load oddly and crash suddenly requiring multiple restarts, and there is no way to submit a ticket or feedback. The “contact us” option just takes you to a community support location that is just an echo chamber of people complaining about the same things. There are issues where the system won’t accurately track the gold and items you purchase and you don’t get the correct amounts, and you will hit a HARD gold wall at Lvl 30 that makes advancements impossible. I would skip this until the people working on fix all the bugs and rebalance the entire game..Redd_DoggVersion: 1.5.4

Cash grabI am such a huge LOTRs fan and enjoyed the gameplay at first but then I realized how messed up this game’s set up is. Every pack that is offered to you is minimum 20 dollars. The chest that drop every 4 to 6 hours only give you 1 shard a piece. Characters can be built up to 10 stars and even if you buy those 20 dollar packs, you are lucky to even get them a few basic characters to 3 stars. I played around 6 to 8 hours over a two day period and had 9 characters. The grind is crazy but hey, if you are cool with spending extended amounts of time on a game like this, then go for it. I don’t normally write negative reviews like this but I am giving a two star solely because I love LOTR.ServantofalllVersion: 1.5.2

LOTR theme great but lackluster gameI love LOTR and I was excited about this game, but it's been pretty disappointing this far. Graphics are a step down being 2023, even if you're reaching younger audiences it's kinda bad. Animation is cool and a step forward though. Also, why are game packages incredibly expensive!! I don't plan on using my money to buy small amounts of game material for this game, just let us enjoy and build our rosters by new game freebies and those that wasn't too buy materials can. It seems like a greedy money grab and a close copycat to other games out there. Get the graphics right and make it an enjoyable experience that the Tolkien novels are and anything linked to them are supposed to be!.TDEllis67Version: 1.5.2

Not finished but has potentialSo after your first day you are basically done the game, really needs content updates. Graphics are bad, i get the style but the execution is sub par, the good news is it has potential in time, until then i will lvl my teams and see what they do with our cash.10 brocoVersion: 1.5.3

DisappointingVery little content/stuff to do and overpriced packs (minimal stuff for the cost and $100 packs at launch, $20 is cheapest) for a game that just released, cheaper good value packs would get people spending not high priced packs for the bare minimum. The graphics also don’t feel like they are from a game released in 2023 and the overall game barely feels like LOTR, I even found myself skipping the dialogue/story because it just felt boring. Characters also look nothing like the actors and more like some random person with similar hair. I don’t think the game will last too long in its current state, it feels like the devs don’t really care about the game they made..Angel2infinityVersion: 1.5.2

It’s brokenLove the style of the game but I’m literally unable to progress due to the tutorial it says Frodo is almost at next gear level then I go to the tab for it and the game won’t let me do anything because the tutorial locks me into clicking something I don’t have because I levelled up another character.Awesome poop in pantsVersion: 1.5.2

What a letdownGot through the first chapter + a bit. Takes forever to get anything done, even down to equipping items to tier up characters. It’ll be an insanely time consuming grind to get anywhere near focussed on end game and PVP. It’s also set up to be very much pay to win. I was looking forward to this, gave it a try, but ended up deleting it pretty quickly.BaabaasrugbyVersion: 1.5.2

Has potentialRiddled with bugs, wasting their opportunity with such a beloved IP. seem to be focused on making packs rather than fixing bugs. just playing normally you'll encounter many many bugs. if the game will work or more content will be released, this game will fulfill much more of its potential.Random nickname420Version: 1.6.4

Not worth itBuggy mess. Constant freezing. Bad RNG. There are plenty of other games just like this, but better in almost every expect. Unless you’re a die hard LOTR fan, don’t waste your time. Even some of them would consider this a waste..AliusoneVersion: 1.6.3

Terrible!!! Run from this game!!!Many players are angry on this game and complaining!!! The drop rate is way too low. Example: you can spend 130 energy and get no item as reward. You can use gems to refill energy but even so, the drop rate is still too LOW. Events are way to hard for free player, I mean, you need to spend gems if you want to be able to complet it. If the app. close during a battle or if it never finish, you lose your energy, no refund, you have to redo again. It is specially FRUSTRATING when you are about to finish a battle and get 3 stars, all ennemies beaten but you CAN’T get the reward because it never end. So you have to quit the app and redo again. I remember this problem happening 6 times in 20 minutes. Lately, since the new event to get Gandalf, it became worse. Not even in a fight, the game show the ring flashing but nothing happen. On my 40 years game player tester, this game is probably the worse I play, if I can say, play. Shame to see this king of mess in 2023. Happily, I didn’t spend any cash on this scrap..SyverStarVersion: 1.6.0

Not fun, Very expensiveIt’s vaguely Lord of the Rings built into a predatory monetization model. Spending money progresses you further, but there is always another paywall.

What a wasteI’ve never played a game by an established studio that was made so poorly. The game is optimized so poorly it is laughable. Many times, when a loading screen is supposed to occur, I just get a blank background with nothing on it forcing me to completely close the app. While in the middle of many battles a character animation fails to execute causing the game to completely soft lock. When loading into a character profile the game goes completely black for about 2 seconds before the character screen loads in. The performance issues on top of the lack of meaningful gameplay and a very stingy in-game economy points to the fact that this game came out several months too early..M_Marko92Version: 1.7.1

Broken/Bugs/Pay2WinBeen playing the game since May every time they introduce something new it’s full of bugs it affects other parts of the game make the game unplayable quality of life is terrible.

Embarrassment to LoTRIn a pay to win game, the pay wall gap is obvious and expected - but this isn’t a p2w gap, this is a p2w chasm. The app times out and freezes and requires force closing daily. If the game was fun but glitchy that would be ok, or if it lacked content and had a huge p2w gap but ran smooth that’d be ok too. As is, it has no redeeming qualities. If you ask why do I still play then? Well I don’t, just dropping my review on the way out.Shimmy_yaVersion: 1.6.5

In desperate need of balancingThis game plays like the characters were created with absolutely no sense of balance in mind. You should be able to be competitive with any team given some strategy, but no. Certain factions are so wildly out of balance with the rest that you could literally just let the tactically incompetent AI walk you through every battle while you watch the fight out of sheer boredom, while other factions struggle to pull off even a 1* victory against enemies of lower level..NukeladVersion: 1.5.7

Ugly, broken and boringI’ll start by saying I love the genre and the IP. This is the worst hero collector on the market. Instead of improving on this devs current game SWGOH, they’ve taken a massive leap backwards as if they were doing this for the first time. Old engine, with 1990’s graphics. It runs slow, crashes constantly, is buggy when it does run, has little to no content and doesn’t give you the resources to actually play with more than a single light and dark team. The story lines are an insult to Tolkien. You’ll see lots of people say it has potential, what they are really saying is that CG/EA have done a horrible job and fallen very short of expectations. 10 months in betta made all of these issues clear to them and they made no changes. Clearly they can’t do any better. I’m done with CG and EA!.WolfbanneVersion: 1.5.7

I’m-game Economy is BrokenThe game is buggy and glitchy which you can see in other reviews. Devs have a lot of work to do to make this game not feel like a Beta launch. What concerns me though is how poorly developed the economy is. Purchasing from the gold shop is an extreme waste, shard shop is extremely expensive and worthless, and half the arena shop is items you can’t use. Every real world purchase can’t be used because you’ll need to purchase gold to use it. The experience is frustrating and the farming is inefficient..JJJ9999901Version: 1.5.7
