    For fans of the title, don't expect much in the way of changes that demand a repurchase - but with that said, if you haven't played the game or simply enjoy the idea of playing Clash of Heroes on the go, this is an easy must have.

    If you haven't joined the war against the demons, it's time to get off your butt and start sifting through colors.

    Brilliant. It's original, addictive and has loads of contents. It brings the original formula to the iDevices and improves it, offering one of the best role and strategy games we've seen for iOS.

    One of the finest strategy puzzle games you can find on the App Store.

    A wonderful, engaging and ambitious fantasy adventure that combines the best of classic RPGs and smart, match-three puzzle gaming. Essential.

    Clash of Heroes is a monstrous RPG with beautiful graphics; a suite of multiplayer modes; and some of the most smart and addictive battles around.

    A deep, clever puzzle game mixes well with a beautiful role-playing adventure. This is a game to get lost in, providing hours and hours of single- and multiplayer fun.

    If you call your self a fan of strategy games, you owe yourself 10 hours with this game.

    This amazingly deep and addictive puzzle-RPG hybrid gets a mostly solid port that's still a blast to play, despite some rough edges from the transition to the App Store.

    Still a great game, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes fails to fully express his potential due to an unpolished and problematic conversion on the touch screen.

    On a high note, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes makes the significant addition of asynchronous multiplayer, which fits the game's strategic turn-based format perfectly.

    iOS has got the version of Clash of Heroes that it deserves, rather than the one that it's capable of.

    Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes missed out on a major opportunity with its iPad release. An otherwise fantastic puzzle RPG with decent story, CoH on the iPad lacks the level of polish of the original Nintendo DS release. I have come down hard on the quality of this port, but if you can't play CoH elsewhere don't miss the opportunity to enjoy it.

    Not necessarily the best version of the game, but it's definitely the cheapest – and a still superb mix of role-playing, puzzle and strategy action.

    Delivers smart and stylish match three gameplay that will keep you occupied and satisfied for hours.

    There’s no question that Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, bugs and all, remains one of the best puzzle/tactical fantasy RPGs around.

    With a lot of polish in terms of the controls through a future update, this could be one of the finest games on the App Store. Otherwise, just stick to the other incredible versions if possible.

    Yes, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is worth playing. If you have a recent iPad or an iPad mini, it's probably worth playing on iOS, though you might want to hold out for a few bug fixes. With those in hand, this could easily be one of the best puzzle strategy games on the platform. Without them, it's simply not.

    Clash of Heroes is a turn-based strategy game with a very clever, puzzle-based design, layered with a great story, beautiful art, funClash of Heroes is a turn-based strategy game with a very clever, puzzle-based design, layered with a great story, beautiful art, fun characters and excellent dialogue. This game was brilliant when it came out back in 2013 for iOS, and it's just as brilliant today.
    It starts with a simple mechanic -- line up three soldiers vertically to start an attack, or line them up horizontally to build a wall -- and then gradually ratchets up the difficulty with new combinations, new units, timed levels, one-move challenges, and boss fights. It's strategically deep yet simple to pick up.
    The story has five chapters, each of which will take you a good ten hours to complete, and offers a solid spin on the good-versus-evil fantasy genre. Yes, there are elves and knights, but also a skeleton-packed Underworld, a rock 'n' roll version of Hell and a palace in the sky. The script steers a perfect middle ground between light-hearted humor and serious set-pieces, and crucially always focuses on individual character arcs rather than a faceless army of unknown creatures.
    What makes this game so precious in 2018 is that it does not have a single iota of money-grabbing free-to-play/loot-crate/DLC content. For the price of a cup of coffee, you get the whole game. I can't think of many other mobile games of this size and quality that do that.
    The flaws are mainly technical. Playing on the iPhone takes a bit of getting used to because the screen gets cramped with units; tap recognition generally is hit-and-miss outside of battle scenes. None of this is enough to dampen the experience.
    Those who got the chance to play it on Nintendo DS or home consoles obviously don't need to worry about this version. But for those who didn't, this game is an excellent purchase.    … Full Review »
