Alliance: Heroes of the Spire

Accounts are randomly suspended for no reason. There are glaring technical bugs that never get resolved like horrible session management and broken heros. This is not a f2p friendly game. Don’t fall for Rumble’s lies. This game is dying a slow painful death and Rumble really doesn’t care at all. Honesty just look at the canned responses to other reviews (edit: and this one!) to know exactly what this company is all about. The customer service is deplorable. The communication with the player base is deplorable. The blatant thievery this company engages in is criminal. They will take your money if you give it and then randomly you will log on one day to your account being suspended. Then you will never get an answer to what it even was that you did or what rule you broke. They will call you a cheater. I wish they’d publish it so I could sue them for libel and actually learn what it is they think I did. Don’t believe their lies. STAY AWAY

Ever since I’ve gotten this app, I’ve had several issues with its functionality. Besides the fact that it copies a lot of themes and play style of games that exist already, the app sadly doesn’t function very well. It has potential, but I can’t even finish the story mode because the game crashes constantly. The best I can do is mostly auto-battles of the few places I managed to finish before impending crashes. It’s caused me to waste keys, lose rank in arena, and other items you can only use once. It takes it, the game crashes, and I can’t repeat the objective. It’s a bit of a mess. Besides the affected gameplay, a lot of the characters in the game border on copyright infringement. It’s not hard to tell what characters are heavily inspired by existing characters. I’m surprised they haven’t been given a cease and desist yet. As a graphic designer, it’s kinda embarrassing how close to the original designs they are. Overall, the game has potential, but could be much better and have more unique characters that don’t look like knockoffs from other trademarked ones.

I read the review above about how Alliance is basically a copy of Summoner’s War but better in all aspects right after I had just installed both games and was unsure about which to play. I almost just uninstalled Alliance based on the review but after a couple days of playing both I actually liked it much better than Summoner’s War. I think it came down to aesthetics and that’s going to be different for everyone. Summoner’s seemed too cartoony although both are definitely leaning more that way than in the realm of realism. So both games are very similar but don’t just pass up on this game if you didn’t like Summoner’s War, it might be just right for you. It was for me. Give it a shot!
