BTW, after reading several reviews here, I can see that they are very misguided complaints. I've been playing for two years and I've spent less than $20 real cash, and that was purely because I wanted to. Everything is available free in game play - IF you are a REAL game player who likes to PLAY rather than rush through it as fast as you can to get to another game, which is as ridiculous as watching a video while pushing the fast-forward button. There are MANY ways to build up free in-game credits and gems to buy items you need to upgrade characters, and there is an extremely generous amount of drops from "kills". I don't understand, though, why everyone nowadays thinks they should get to download a game FOR FREE and then play it totally for free, without the game makers getting any pay for their work! Its outrageous.It used to be you had to BUY the game before you could even play it, and most on-line games then also charged a monthly fee! I recommend that you slow the hell down and enjoy the game play and stop being so jaded.
    I will admit to a couple of not-so-fun things about the game. The game offers daily events to complete, which results in prizes for events individually and for when you finish all of them. The problem is that it is impossible to get the prizes for completing all of the days events because one of the events has permadeath - once your character(s) die in that event it is permanently dead in that event, and the only way to play that event again is after you have enough NEW characters at high enough level to play it again. Like I said, I've been playing for two years, and in this event I've gotten nowhere because all my characters (in that event) are dead and there's no resurrection available. Also, purchases - if you chose to make purchases with real money - are in fact extremely expensive, on the level of being unfair. It is, in a way, like playing a game of Monopoly where someone else owns all the properties and utilities on the Boardwalk row with full hotels on every single property. But again, if you like playing for the sake of the fun of playing, you'll enjoy the slow way of progressing.    … Expand

    The game continues to evolve and it is still the best Star Wars theme game for mobile devices! Check out the Game Changers videos on Youtube. Very nice and very competitive game. Build up your squad with characters like Boba Fett, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Unmasked Kylo Ren, Jedi Training Rey and battle other players!

    I love this game because I haven't spent a single penny on it, and I've seen quite a lot of good results.
    Should you give enough time of your day to this game —say 20 minutes of your day, not necessarily continuous—, you will see the results.
    The game is not very intuitive, however, they compensate the lack of intuitiveness by giving you precise and simple tutorials of many things. As you advance you will find out that some of the menus are never used, and you can just simply skip the anomia of not knowing where to go first; simply step on the daily objectives and that's it.

    There are no paywalls, but one. This new paywall, Jedi Knight Revan is the reason why I give the game a 9 out of 10. Revan's characters were released only around a month, maybe less, before the event came (You need specific characters to unlock him). However, I have to say that he's not the very best toon in the game, yes, he's meta, yes, he's quite good, but he's beatable and not a must if you want to succeed on the arena.

    There many new characters that have been added through the years, for instance, we finally have Old Republic ones. Also, many characters, which were totally useless before (Nightsisters, bounty hunters), are now good as they've been reworked, and those characters now mean something and are actually useful.

    The game has introduced new mechanics that make the more complex, however, those mechanics were only complex when there were recently introduced. It doesn't take reading a book to understand them.

    To conclude, I should say that this game is great as you don't get all the "endgame" content in a day or two, you've got to keep playing it, to understand how the game works and to remember that in this game, you DO have to keep progressing. It's not "flappy bird", your progress never resets —of course, unless you want to do it.    … Expand

    This game had a lot of potential but it is completely ruined by EA's greed. The game takes advantage of addictive personalities and tries EVERYTHING it can so that you start feeding it real world money. Literally thousands of dollars worth of in-app purchases are required to be competitive in the game. This game and it's devs are a big fat joke.

CG however started mass-releasing overpowered characters (around 5! new toons per month) that are impossible to get unless you pay them around 1000 € per character! The shard drop rates are ridiculously ranging from 5 to 330 shards (330 is a maxed toon), but almost never will you get more than 10 from a pack (hence the final sum of around a grand). This random distribution is real gambling, should not be legally allowed to exist in a non-gambling game. Before one could acquire great characters through actually playing the game, by now CG has mastered the ways of extorting money from players. When a regular character threatened their business schemes in a single small segment of the game inaccessible to most players, they went and shamelessly nerfed that character to become useless in all aspects of the game. And they pretend to listen to player feedback while they do not, unless you’re some well nown whale I guess. RIP nightsister acolyte.… Expand

    Takes "Pay To Win" to new heights (lows?). Even paying hundreds a month isn't enough. And despite that, Galactic War is the best reason not to play. Rather than making it challenging the Devs seem to think that the best idea is to randomly throw an impossible team at you so you fail regularly. I guess that's easier than good coding.

    Also with recent reworks and CLS in the game I'm feeling like this game is becoming a gigantic power creep where "old" heroes are becoming more and more useless as they add new things.
    With addition of the newest Territory Battles one might hope that they will ease THE most tedious task in game which is purple gear farm but no, no such luck.
    To sum up (from F2P perspective)
    - NOT new player friendly
    - Super power creep
    - They change/add too much and too fast
    - Gear farm is a huuuuge annoyance
    - Also... General Grievous rework? :P
    If you have been playing for a year or more you might as well stick with it but for new players... We're in for a rough ride I'm afraid.

    After addition of Territory Battles (aka terrible battles) and being forced to max out one of the worst heroes in the game just to unlock some of the new content I'm giving this game 1/10 rating. Also WAY too heavy emphasis on light side and rebels in general.    … Expand

    EA clearly at it again with pay-to-win using Star Wars and its eminently marketable assets. If you pay from $10 on up a pop (from character- and event-specific bundles from $10-$20 apiece through "vaults" of some 15K crystals for around $100 each), you can keep playing, spoon-fed characters and crystals (in-game currency that can be purchased with    Joined MetaCritic to write this review.

If you pay from $10 on up a pop (from character- and event-specific bundles from $10-$20 apiece through "vaults" of some 15K crystals for around $100 each), you can keep playing, spoon-fed characters and crystals (in-game currency that can be purchased with real-world cash) and extend your play time indefinitely. If you don't want to pay, you get maybe 1-2 hrs meaningful gameplay daily. I don't blame Capital Games, they're simply EA's henchdev in this low-effort asset flip.

    Games shouldn't be made this way. I remember fondly when you could buy a game ONCE, and enjoy hours and hours of play. You wouldn't have to add more and more money for the privilege of unlocking characters core to the franchise, you'd progress through levels (repeatedly as needed) until finally that reward (in reality silly, but epic in the gaming mindset) is achieved.

    EA is one of the biggest responsible for spearheading the efforts at ruining this simple pleasure.

    I was in the hospital, my wife sick with pneumonia (which I eventually got myself). I had my tablet with me, and as I sat with her I got my daily 1984-gulag-cafeteria-style ration of daily play. Throughout the day I'd get little appetizers, tidbits like bonus energy that would let me play a few more minutes, run a few more repetitive mock battles for in-game cash and experience. Refusing to pay into the game, at all, that was my lot in life. My energy spent, literally nothing else to do or explore, I'd simply abandon the game and read or play other games not so eager to pilfer my wallet.

    This kind of game isn't developed by people passionate about gaming, it's developed by people eager to make MONEY. While the character models are faithful to the Star Wars universe, and the characters' various abilities can be made to mesh in interesting ways and bolster each other, the mechanics and visuals are half-hearted. Expect blaster bolts to be precisely and deftly deflected by a Jedi's almost psychic ability? Nope, text proclaiming DEFLECTED or EVADED appear and shortly fade, like any excitement you might've had moments before. Looking forward to a droid picking up and body-slamming an enemy? Nope, just run up, attack animation, run back. Battle Chess is a Disney ride compared to this quickly repetitive back-and-forth between characters in battle.

    The background scenery reflects a dingy, seedy cantina, but not in a way that's intriguing or charming, but just plain depressing. At various holographic gaming tables, the same cardboard cutout characters sit or stand with each other perpetually as a droid rolls between the aisles with presumably free drinks. Am I in Star Wars, or at the slots in some poorly-lit third-rate Las Vegas casino?

    A recently added ship combat system refreshes the game with various space-based Star Wars assets (Star Destroyers, the Millenium Falcon, various X-Wing and TIE fighters), tied to their respective characters in the core game. Same stuff, different parsec. Sound and visual effects are the best thing about the fleet events, and as with characters abilities and meshing them is next best, and that's sad, but then how exciting can things possibly be when you have two capital ships and two sets of five fighters each set facing each other for "thrilling" turn-based combat? Not much.

    People with a lot of disposable income (good job, generous or oblivious parents, new lottery winners) and few scruples gaming-wise might be perfectly fine with doing what back in the day would be equivalent to cracking open a hex editor, tweaking a few bits of your character data on a game disc, and from there gaining unlimited lives or maximum stats or other perks which lead any challenge or fun for the game to instantly evaporate.

    Save your money.

    Play free for an hour or two daily at most. Enjoy the vicarious thrill of electrocuting Rebel scum with Emperor Palpatine's lightning, or slicing through stormtroopers with gore-free, anatomically-incorrect and unsatisfying strokes of your Jedi's light saber. If you join a guild, enjoy a rare opportunity every so often to battle a ridiculously annoying retinue of Gammorean guards and then eventually the dreaded Rancor for money and prizes, important among those various pieces and parts available elsewhere throughout the game (and required in ever-increasing numbers) to upgrade your characters' abilities through gear aka mods. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    If you're young enough and new enough to gaming to be convinced that this is the norm, I assure you, it isn't. It's a cash grab, it's driven by GREED, not passion.

    The only thing I can see from paying to win in this game, as someone who works for a living and doesn't have fistfuls of money to throw around, is buyer's remorse.    … Expand

    If you're not willing to spend an incredible amount of money and time on this game, please don't irritate yourself with this app.
    I've been playing since December 3, so I speak from experience. I kept telling myself that they will work out the issues, but that has not been the case, and unfortunately, the attitude of E.A. seems to be to make things worse.

    That being said, an incredible amount of obvious cash-grabs, time-sink and crashes/bugs all over the place. They recently (July 6) rolled out an untested update that crashed the game and set many players back a day of game-play. Their solution was to offer a few crystal which are worth $2. Buying that lost time in the game would have been $20.
    Also, they intentionally make things more difficult without offering better rewards because it helps their "time spent" numbers. After months of complaining about a daily task taking about an hour to complete, they promised to fix it (which to be fir happened for about two weeks), then the immediately "stealth" changed it back and now it takes about 1 1/2 hours to complete. After an uproar and a week of silence, they released a statement basically saying that's exactly what they intended to do (accept a small error for a few high-level players which they are fixing IMMEDIATELY and making that mode take even longer for them as well).
    Bottom line - save yourself the aggravation and stay away from this game!!    … Expand

    #1 rule, don't pay a penny for this.
    The most pathetic attempt at a SW experience ever. The game lags and crashes all over the place even on the shield tablet k1. The characters are all but unique, some with their powers and abilities as they would never have in the SW universe. There are no sounds attached to characters and animations are all the same and repetitive, even bonus actions    #1 rule, don't pay a penny for this.
    The most pathetic attempt at a SW experience ever. The game lags and crashes all over the place even on the shield tablet k1. The characters are all but unique, some with their powers and abilities as they would never have in the SW universe. There are no sounds attached to characters and animations are all the same and repetitive, even bonus actions are just the same animation that you have to watch from start to end. The developers are most interested in adding more characters that you can get by paying real cash rather than fixing issues, and balancing the gameplay. They just couldn't care less.
    Some characters are way overpowered, like Count Dooku, Rey, Kylo, Sidious, Unduli and more... The devs seem to have a special attachment to those few, as they do nothing to balance them. Dooku for example has 100% counter!!!
    Other pathetic mechanics are dodging, especially when a character is stunned. Sometimes, the dodging goes as far as 100% during battle, where you can't land a single hit, before being obliterated.
    The grind is real, and it will take a good year to get to realistic position in the arena with some good toons at proper levels, unless you pay hard cash to get roulette based character or shard drops. Yes, roulette! for the same value in cash , you can get as much as an equivalent of a bucket, all the way up to a character with no skills or level, so basically it's a ripoff, not worth a penny.
    Othe nice touch from the devs include, the beautiful system of levelling up, where the price doubles for each level, but the gains are getting smaller and smaller with each level. Also the game seems to be stacking you up against enemies of your player level, rather than your character's level.
    Other than that it's a bit of fun if you can stand the negatives.    … Expand

    Great game, whether you're a SW fan or not. Been playing since its release and never payed a cent until last week just to try out. PVP rank at 1500 before any purchases.

    It's a bit of a grind to get the characters and with the slow energy charge but the in game currency (gems) can be accumulated with either real money or by completing tasks. So as a free game it's fantastic. With    Great game, whether you're a SW fan or not. Been playing since its release and never payed a cent until last week just to try out.

    So as a free game it's fantastic. With the latest updates they've released Raids and the new Guild system which is a breath of fresh air.

    Overall I give a 9.

    - 1 to more characters from the expanded universe especially from the Old Republic (need Revan, Malak and Bastila)    … Expand

    It's an 'ok' game, but nothing more than that. If you're expecting a mobile KOTOR, think different. It's very simplistic and can hardly be named a decent RPG. It's fun if you're in to quick play throughs, but gamers that expect more are bound to the old PC gems.

    ----My review is 100% honest! .

    -I wrote a nasty review on the Ap store page and want to make amends now that it's two weeks later..
    ~~~THIS GAME DOESNT REQUIRE MONEY!!!
    -fact= I have yet to spend a single dollar. If you do spend money = you're ruining you're own fun!

    -the coins system,gems is same as all other games with 1 huge difference.
    -difference- is you pick from about 150 Star Wars legendary characters, and each one has 3-5 unique attacks or special moves etc..
    --the game is RPG as you're goal is to unlock & upgrade you're characters...
    --Thanks to The Manager of GameStop in Hamden,CT for telling me to play this game.(not the 1st time this dude has been helpful! TY GameStop Manager!

    --you can buy packs with character shards in them or earn them by doing 1-3 minute long TURN BASED battles..and you get REALLY GOOD REALLY FAST....

    --the main screens layout has all the game modes you click on to enter that arena area/style..and each one has its own style..like the light side or dark side means you can only use YOURE Good guys, vice versa if you enter dark side..there's the PVP arena which isn't really you vs a LIVE person but you play against they're team with the AI controlling it(L A M E!!!) that's the biggest comp,ain't besides the Free to Play scam tactics...

    --I've been playing for two weeks and I'm addicted...but I'm sooo proud of myself for not spending real money. I've been tempted several times..I even have $15 on my iTunes at all times...but I stand by the fact that if I pay for the stuff I want= it ruins the fun of earning it or getting a jump for joy surprise lottery type win...

    -my only super unlock so far has Been Ashoka , GREEDO, and A lame Ewok Hero Teebo.
    -Teebo and Ashoka are lame,,but GREEDO is AMAZING and always in my lineup...

    --BOTTOM LINE- the game is amazing and this developer is special guys..imagine if they weren't owned by the evil empire EA...imagine instead of Free to Play= we payed $20 to play forever and the scam of temptation to spend real money is removed..wow! ThisngMe would be the best tablet game ever.. But it's not and EA does own this developer...so sad. But that's our creepy world of scam...

    --also, The most powerful legendary characters I'm patiently grinding for are
    In order
    -PALPATINE!
    -That Blue Twilek Jedi Knight from the prequels(she's owns me everytime)
    -Qui Gonn **** he is a bad2the bone tank!!

    --surprisingly missing are
    -JANGO FETT
    --WEDGE
    -BOSK(Trandoshian lizard faced bounty hunter/Wookie killer from Empire strikesBack.
    -freaking YODA (what the heck guys?? He must be future doc or something.

    ----Dissapointing character heroes in game are
    -Obi Wan Kenobi- it's old man on tatooine so he's lame and weak. BAH!
    -Anakins- (not Vader) this is episode 3 Anakin and he's mediocre. Shame on u guys!!!
    -Lando! Cmon now, Lando is everyone's favorite and he is awful..
    --Leia and Luke(ESP Leia) she is just weak. This is the daughter of Vader!!!
    --Han is Missing. He's a enemy,but only playable as storm trooper armor Han Solo..????
    -Mace Windu even all Jacked up is only average at best and I skip him everytime I see him...

    --Morgan Freeman shoulda been Mace, this way the character is force strong wizard type,,not a Jedi thug..
    --Leo Decaprio or anyone who could act shoulda been Anakin..
    -And ANYBODY shoulda been PADME.. Natalie was awful, it wasn't all Hayden..atrocious smile!!    … Expand

    Another miss opportunity to bring a real masterpiece based on the George Lucas universe. The same flat and dull RPG adventure experience yet seen in many other games.

    Galaxy of Heroes is the demonstration that the Star Wars template is not enough to save an already criticized formula.
