Collecting new heroes and trying to maxing out their stats can be quite entertaining. Especially when you get you hands on a rarer one that makes it easier to get past that last battle that was giving you trouble. However the evils of EA's attempts to get you to spend money on microtransactions are present.

    Every now and then you'll just sort of hit a brick wall of difficulty that you can't get past for a while. This either requires you to grind for in-game currency to buy new heroes, or take the easier route and pay to win. It doesn't require you to put down any money, but if you don't the resulting grinding can make progress slower than it otherwise would be. There's no guarantee you'll always get a more powerful hero from the random packs you'll buy either, but at the very least you can sacrifice weaker heroes you might get to your more powerful ones to make them stronger. It sometimes just comes down to luck whether or not you'll have victory over the main quest.

    Luckily there are some other things to keep you busy. PVP battles and "Nexus" challenges can lead to leveling up, more gold and other rewards. Obviously those who are willing to put down money in order to get the best heroes sooner are going to have the edge in the PVP battles, but I still found plenty of opponents who were like myself and focused on grinding instead of buying.

    EA's constant attempts to get as much money from gamers as they can plagues yet another game. However it doesn't ruin it. True not putting down money on the game leads to repeated, soul-crushing defeats every now and then, but it's rewarding as all heck to get a more powerful hero or to finally level and boost up my characters enough to make it past a tough level. Despite my frustrations with it I always find myself coming back, because victory truly feels well earned and rewarding in this game. Even if it is just because EA tries to dollar and dime me to death.    … Expand

    La idea si bien no es original es super atrayante para los que somos fan de la saga. Sin embargo creo que el gameplay se hace aburrido al no interactuar en casi nada en el combate.

    A greedy, nasty piece of work, based on a broken economy scheme. [Apr 2014, p.74]

    A little more faith in the player's ability to cope with deeper strategy and Heroes of Dragon Age would be a genuinely good game. Conversely, it would only take a few more turns of the micro-transaction screw for it to be intolerable. Strange as it sounds, this somewhat awkward middle ground actually represents huge progress for EA's freemium ambitions.

    Several interesting ideas are not enough to make Heroes of Dragon Age a convincing Mobile title. Gameplay is practically nonexistent and a superficial implementation of features make it a mediocre title to avoid.
