“I re-installed the game after a long break a few days ago when I heard about the new season... and damn, I seem to have forgotten how aggressively monetized every single corner of this game is. And it isn't even free to…”
“As an avid arpg player (Poe, LE, TLI, D4, GD), this game caught me by surprise! Its fun! It's one of those games where if you are in between seasons/leagues of the main arpgs, you jump on HS. It's a game that is not…”
“My experiences with the game as a fairly new player. I am not a glass half-full type of guy, but let's start with the positives. It is well made as an ARPG. Characters have strong identities with fair amount of choices…”

“I gave this game a fair chance, and after 30 hours I have lost interest. I suppose I got my moneys worth, and may still play occasionally but I definitely prefer other ARPGS. My primary issue with Hero Siege is that it…”
“Right..... im coming here as I feel like I need to say this game is exceptionally good for the price tag all the people crying and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it being bad are either salty cause the game wasn't the same as it was 6…”
“shjtty diablo 2 wanna be game with mobile graphics and predatory DLC content with many classes and cosmetics locked behind overpriced paywalls. Game even takes items and entire mechanics straight from diablo 2 and names…”

“As a big Poe/Diablo veteran with over 10k++ hours in each, who just got this game on sale, I am having a blast, I honestly do not get all the negative reviews, Atleast they do not reflect my experience so far, just got…”
“Fantastic game if you enjoy PoE/D2 ! Large variety of skills and builds, maps are interesting and the grind is challenging.”
“I am one of those dude that know nothing of the "old" Hero Siege that everybody seems to miss. Let me tell you what I think about the state of the game as is. The game is true to its promise: if you like Diablo/PoE and…”

“i would say dont listen to negative reviews, get this game if you want, its not like it costs a whole lot, gameplay is fun, builds are great, yes there are microtransactions and some of them are a little yikes, but…”
“For me this is a fun game like Diablo/PoE. I understand it has its issues. But for me the devs seem to work pretty quick trying to fix things as they pop up. I also don't mind the DLC's/shop side of it since they made…”
“I love pixel art so this game draws to me. It has always been one of my favorite games and through the years it has developed into a great game. Early season always has a little bit of issues but the devs always work…”

“Great little indie, pixel art arpg, with a lot of inspiration taken from some of the best arpgs of all time. How this game gets so much negativity is beyond me. Yes there is MTX but you're not forced into buying…”
“D2 on steroids. If you liked D2, you really need to checkout this game. Don't listen to the "everything is monetized booohooo" guys. Yes, you can buy some extra inventory slots and skins. That's pretty much it. But you…”

“I have never seen a game this buggy and scuffed. UI Control is absolutely horrendous. if you play with a controller you will want to rip your hair out. there is a jumping mechanic in this game which is trash. you will…”

“Pay for game, pay for DLC, pay for stash, pay for everything and then they have the gull to offer a subscription service with more features. What the uck is this cashgrab. Path of Exile is free bros, don't do this to…”

“I’ve tried coming back to Hero Siege multiple times, and every time my characters are gone. On top of that, the Anti-Cheat (EAC) causes constant stuttering and lag, which completely ruins the experience. I only play…”

“Great game, especially for the value. Will definitely come back to it Has some flaws but is a fun take on ARPGs. Good QoL updates and fun classes but stays true to D2 roots Seems like devs are just going to keep making the game better, cant wait”
— a player, Steam review · 137 hrs played“Great game overall, but here are some core areas that need improvement to keep the community engaged long-term: 1. Meta Progression: Hero and Ether levels should be account-wide. Starting from zero on every new character creates unnecessary friction and discourages players from…”
— a player, Steam review · 854 hrs played“Got my whole stash tabs wiped and all I got as a response was "We can't and we won't do a thing about what you've lost, gl". What a joke. Playing of SSF too, that's even great. Imagine playing and supporting the game for 300+ hours and being told to ♥♥♥♥ yourself because of a…”
