Heroes of History: Epic Empire

I downloaded the game and progressed for a bit. I unlocked some land and when I completed my quest my next one was “Claim three land” however I already did that. So I went to click claim however it wasn’t working, so I clicked x but that also wasn’t working. The game froze for whatever reason. I decided to delete the game and reinstall it since I only had 30 minutes of progress, however when I reinstalled the game, it forced me back to where I was. All of the buttons were gone (Because it was a forced quest) so I couldn’t click my account and wipe out my data. So I thought “Why not wipe the data from settings?” But I found out you also couldn’t do that since they save your progress on their servers. So now I’m stumped and I don’t have an idea on how to claim the quest or replay. If this glitch could be fixed I’ll appreciate it a bunch.

It’s true you can play for free, but any progression beyond a snail’s pace (this makes a snail look fast) requires money. The fact that there is so much to do is both good and bad. This game is unusual in that you really need to progress a lot of your heroes. You can’t rely only a few. And progressing them is agonizing. This leads to one of the biggest problems with the way things work. Equipment. You need Embers to progress equipment Not only is gathering them slow, but each attempt to Level Up has a probability which decreases as you go up. A super frustrating thing is that by level 8 you are down to “Medium”. Wouldn’t you think “medium” is about 50% more or less. My experience over dozens of attempts is that it is way less. I have frequently had 6 or more straight failures at Medium. This process is enough to make you want to throw your device against a wall. One other major flaw is how often necessary stats are not immediately displayed where needed, but you have to back out to find them. The worst I’ve seen is when battling and you temporarily run out of stamina, a pop up offers you two methods to replenish (including spending gems) but there is no display of how much you need so you can’t make an intelligent choice. Finally, connectivity is fragile. The game crashes multiple times per day, often in the middle of a long battle. I have had this in multiple wifi locations on multiple devices.

This game is fun, but the MASSIVE downfall of it is that it is as pay-to-win as you can possibly get. For instance, you are extremely limited on the amount of buildings you can have, making you stuck with a fixed amount of population, which prevents you from producing your required resources, “solving” incidents, and upgrading everything you need to. You’re also limited on the upgrading slots unless you pay for the monthly game pass. With the side events like Egypt and China, which are just incredibly fun and addicting because there are no upgrading slot limitations, and the upgrades are much quicker than the regular ones, it is just still impossible to progress in the event unless you pay money. There’s a max rank of 50, and for me and my alliance members, without spending money and spending almost all amount of our time on the event, none of us could even get halfway, reducing our reward payouts to “bronze.” The special currency, gems, are very few and far between to achieve through free-to-play means. And the gacha system, “portals,” are even worse. The pity system that’s implemented is only after 200 pulls you are guaranteed a legendary hero. You can pay $30 PER WEEK to get 24 regular portals. There’s also a legendary portal pull where you’re guaranteed a legendary hero after 20 pulls, but those portals you can’t even receive in normal means. If you’re lucky, you can get 1 legendary portal fragment from rare means, needing 20 fragments to form one legendary portal. I’ve played other Innogames in the past and I’ve enjoyed all of them. But this one is just absolutely impossible if you don’t pay money.
