    This action-adventure RPG is just about as fully-featured, customizable, and fun as they come.

    Battleheart Legacy is easily among the best games I've played this year, and I can't imagine a reality where it isn't still high in the running when we get around to doing all of our game of the year stuff in December.

    Simply put, Battleheart Legacy is one of the best action RPGs available on a mobile platform and one of the best mobile games in general.

    Battleheart Legacy is a grind tempered by a world that’s a pleasure to inhabit, and combat and progression systems that gradually reveal layers of strategy and possibility. Even though I disagree with some of its design decisions, I will keep playing it for some time to come. [Episode 7, September 2014]

    Battleheart Legacy is a wonderful RPG with a unique style. The game offers hours of fun and blends several classes into one playable character. This simply works great: it makes Battleheart Legacy one of a kind.

    Those are very minor qualms that shouldn’t stop you from playing Battleheart Legacy if you’re into the genre at all. The search for a really rewarding mobile-first RPG can almost be like an epic quest of its own, but even without a big flashing arrow to guide you, rest assured that it leads to this game.

    A worthy sequel to Battleheart that lets you fight with a single character. An insane amount of class customization combined with a charming style in both audio and graphics and a great story ensures at least 15 hours of great adventuring. After that there is arena and a new game plus. This might simply be one of the best action roleplaying games on iOS.

    Battleheart Legacy makes use of a minimalist visual style that, while clean and easily accessible, won’t exactly wow you. Its controls, too, are a bit of a sticking point, as during the heat of battle, it’s easy to accidentally click the wrong target or move to the wrong area. Still, these issues are minor, and will probably go unnoticed by players as they’re too distracted by the ludicrous amounts of fun they’re having.

    An exciting, accessible role-playing game that does away with most of the fluff that bogs down the genre while retaining the depth that fans adore.

    Battleheart Legacy is an attractive, fully-featured action-RPG with elegant controls, let down only by its slightly laborious combat system.

    Mika Mobile has crafted a lengthy and uncomplicated action/RPG adventure, with just enough challenge and depth to draw in gamers of all stripes.

    Props to Metacritic. I complained they did not have this game up and within less than an hour they responded by email with a link. On to theProps to Metacritic. I complained they did not have this game up and within less than an hour they responded by email with a link. On to the review: After having played this. I have to lower the score for wayward souls, which was probably a two compared to this game. This game is what DIablo 3 should of been. Its mind-blowingly good. The Toucharcade review is spot on. DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH. this game has it. Quests and storylines are BOMB. with twist on twists. Makes you feel like you have LOTS of choices that makes real impacts upon the story. You can be a goody good or wicked or in middle. The class system is a dream. You can diversify or focus like the TA guy says but after hours of experimentation I focus on being the gandalf wannabe. Dam, my wizard is so badass!!! thats what i feel like as I play this. but its not overpowering, the challenge is LEGIT. balanced almost as good as dark souls. I gave up RPG's for awhile b/c i couldn't stand the combat of final fantasy and skyrim, but then this new generation has games like Demon's Souls and this game which make RPG combat as good as it gets, painfully challenging with fluid controls. Death is horrible in just right way, partly b/c the economy is pretty well balanced. Every coin you get seems to matter and when you die, you lose a big chunk of your dough. Like Zombieville, the ability to customize your character is FUN and Complex. Not annoying and complex like some games. The guy in TA says you will run out of batteries multiple times on your ipad from trying to play it unplugged b/c its sooo addicting....that **** is happening to me. I'm not writing anymore. I'm going back to play dammit! Get this game. Support Mika mobile ( i think that's the company?) they take awhile to come out with games, but when they do...they knock it out of the ball park.

    Update: I just beat it. The ending is amazing.    … Full Review »

    一改往日战斗之心的风格，彻底ARPG化。本作可以说是相当成功。有着主机游戏般丰富的职业设定和打击手感。实属是iOS上不可多得的ARPG游戏。一改往日战斗之心的风格，彻底ARPG化。本作可以说是相当成功。有着主机游戏般丰富的职业设定和打击手感。实属是iOS上不可多得的ARPG游戏。

    Horribly overrated game. Below average RPG. The game has absolutely zero depth. You fight substantially the same battle every round. There isHorribly overrated game. Below average RPG. The game has absolutely zero depth. You fight substantially the same battle every round. There is no world and every battleground is exactly the same. No storyline, etc etc.

    The company behind this game, "Mika Mobile", has incredibly poor business practice. They decided to release this game on the Android market for $2.99 and then drop any and all support for the game, practically screwing over Android customers that have purchased the game.

    I won't be supporting anymore games released from Mika Mobile and I suggest that you don't give them any of your money either. They don't care about the consumer, it's all about the money. It's hilarious to see this kind of attitude from a small-time developer.    … Full Review »
