Hero Siege

If you never played the previous version this game can be a solid 7.5/10 if you ignore the ridiculous amount of cosmetic microtransations and lame late-game. Otherwise, you know how they butched a perfect roguelike with amazing synergies and builds for a horrible diablesque clone of itself from temu.

used to play hero siege in a friend accoutn years ago, was savage, really cool game, then came the first change, still playable but it lost something there, now i'm trying again and can't explain what i see, this game was destroyed.

New players perspective: You open the game, create a new character and 90% of the classes are locked. Okay, I must need to get to a certain level to unlo- oh. I need to buy them. Okay i guess. You then pick your class and start the game. The only thing that gets explained is how to open your stats. That's quite literally the ONLY thing. At this point in time I still do now know how to assign my abilities/skills to my bindings for them. There are plenty of signs in the starting area; GREAT opportunity for some tutorial stuff, but maybe that would take away from the experience you get from standing still slashing at the 200 enemies they throw at you straight away. It would make sense if you were able to learn how to use your skills but no...its just slashing at enemies. After the 3rd completely blank sign in a row I gave up on it. I'm sure if you get far enough into the game, watch a youtube video on how to actually do anything that the game should've told you and get rolling, it coul...

I have been playing this for a while since I was bored, and hey, Just realized last August 2025 another similar game has been released, it has way more polished graphics, costed about 20 bucks, had way better audio and music and storyline, in overall the gameplay feels like magic instead of this game, and I looked at why it would cost nearly a 100 bucks to play Hero Siege and could not find any good reason.

Thought I would give it a try. I usually don't look to reviews and I make a unbiased decision purely on my experience and gameplay and in the very short time with this one, I can say the history of development and the developers themselves seem to be the driving factor as to why the reviews suck. The game itself is fine and I love the art style, music etc, the artists deserve alot of credit. However, the "Live Service" model the Devs seem to be shoving down the players faces, quickly shows in the game itself and it seems that nearly every menu has a "BUY ME!" button. Including - More inventory space, more character saves, cosmetics and even a monthly subscription service, for a house. It honestly isn't justifiable, at all. Just a quick review on Steam shows there is over £140 worth of DLC for this game which is crazy alone even after 10 years of development. Take Grim Dawn. A clear example of how to do DLC correctly and larger paid expansions, with supporter packages if you wish ...

Never played an ARPG that nickel and dimed you to such a ridiculous extent. Everything costs money and you're paying for a thoroughly average product. Just go play Path of Exile instead.

Cringe worthy general chat + Paytowin + PayforQoL. Any more reasons needed?

insanely mid. i want my time back

Hero Siege doesn't deserve such negative reviews. Game is different and that doesn't mean it's bad, but people hated the transition from roguelike to arpg. Some complain about the price of dlc, but it's a 10+year old game, how else should they get money to support the game? This game is actually fun and surprisingly deep arpg, and it is everything Diablo 2 remaster + poe was supposed to be.

Better than others mmorpg's, like diablos, path exiles, last epoch..
