    Finally!!!

    FINALLY ...

    a Heroes Call update ...

    has come BACK ...

    to IOS Devices!!!

    The Shadow Assassin is here. On top of that, you can play each of the characters n Hard mode, while not deleting your original characters. I think that is awesome.

    As a result, for those who completed the game for the warrior and wizard in "Normal" mode, we now have a whopping 120 levels to play: 30 for the Shadow Assassin in Normal mode, and 30 levels each for the warrior, wizard, and assassin (in Hard mode).

    Here's looking to another couple of months of fantastic playing, and I can't wait for the Combat Alchemist.

    Awesome job!

    I haven't installed it yet but I think its amazing that they actually took out all of that stuff. I don't believe I have ever seen any game that had wait times and gem system have it removed for the players convienience. If only other companies would do this i would play their games

    I'm glad they did but it was a ridiculous decision to include them in the first place, thankfully they've changed it but dont these companies do testing with gamers to gauge their thoughts on these things ?

    Seen it happen before e.g 'new 1 finger movement control super button, new innovative way to control your character...' etc, 3 weeks later d-pad controls are added as their crazy new control system failed to generate sales.

    Just get the feeling that some devs dont listen to the consumers

    I think in all fairness the developers should get a truckload of credit. I'm a big fan of Orc Vengeance, but you had to pay $2.99, and for that, you had 17 levels. Here, you get 30 levels for free. Also, I can't recall seeing developers so in tune and responsive to the concerns of the players as the ones from Heroes Call. I think they did a fantastic job.

    If you have not yet played the updated version, I strongly recommend you do so. You will change your tune.

    The latest update is fantastic. Loot seems to be more plentiful, items are able to be identified instantly for a small amount of gold, NO WAIT TIMES to start new missions - good stuff all around! Only negative is I can't seem to purchase the other characters - it simply says "Purchase failed" when I click on the option to unlock one.

    Hey gang - so, a couple of things :

    1. Sorry this update has taken so long. We had some issues with the initial submit, and the queue is taking a long time at the moment. The team here really wanted to get it into your hands much, much earlier than it has released. Even so, we're happy that it's got there.

    2. Yep, we broke the purchase on Shadow Assassin/Plague Wizard - fixing that right now, as quick as we can. It will flow through Apples servers and then you'll be able to select it.

    3. The Combat Alchemist is very close to submission, so the wait should be much shorter on this one.

    4. Thanks for all the feedback - everything people have said here has been taken into account for this update, and to a large extent all the changes we've made have been to directly respond to issues people had. It's easy to think we're not listening (because it takes a while to make changes, implement them, submit them, and release them) but we take everything on board and use it to make the game better. That's the goal, so keep the comments coming.

    I'll followup with a longer rundown on the specifics of the changes, and how we got there.

    Fantastic update, I have encouraged several people on other boards (NeoGaf for one) to not only review the game but buy some IAP to show iOS devs that there is a right way to do f2p and this is it.

    The game itself is amazing and it was just the pay2play holding it back. Can't wait for the new class :)

    Redownloaded, purchased me the Shadow Assassin, and quickly rediscovered just how polished and fun Heroes Call is. The removal of the f2p limitations is really just a bonus to me, but will hopefully stand as a lasting example to other devs of how no timers and paywalls, with IAP just for extra currency and additional content/expansions (such as the classes in Heroes Call), might be both a nice and profitable way to do things.

    Now I've been positive and appraising for a whole paragraph. Time to bitch and whine and moan! ;) No, but time for a small bug report: Heroes Call keeps sending me push notifications when I'm actually playing the game, so after each session, I find my notification center full of pushes for identified objects. Really not that irksome at all, so perhaps something for that rainy day when there is nothing left to code.

    Also, is my recollection correct, was a Facebook like supposed to unlock an additional identification slot? Does not seem to have worked for me.

    Haven't downloaded the update yet, but actually sounds like good work! However, in all fairness, those 17 levels of Orc Vengeance are completely different (even if some general design elements are repeated within a chapter), while the 30 levels of Heroes Call include many that are completely identical. I still really strongly dislike the concept of repeating complete levels without even the slightest variation, apart from the monsters you have to fight. Due to this (at least for me) 34 levels of playing Orc Vengeance twice feel more varied than 30 levels of playing Heroes Call once. IMO Heroes Call needs new quests more urgently than new character classes, and not only one or two ...

    I only played this for a couple of hours last night so I'm no expert, but so far it's excellent now the timers are gone. Gonna buy some gold to unlock some slots and if I keep enjoying it I'll buy the other characters. Nice one!

    Just installed the update. 38 gems and 75 identification scrolls were transformed into about 11.000 gold. Shadow Assassin purchased without problems. Encountered the first bug: Visiting the Bank and touching any of the three locked bank slots crashes the game. Please fix this.

    REdownloaded, giving it another go.
    Does anyone have any recommended skills for the warrior? :)

    Btw, what is vengeance?
    Some of the skills say it gains some of it.

    Reinstalling too. :)

    The only problem i had before was the timers. It's gone now, so this should be good. This, Orc Vengeance and Eternal Warriors 2 will keep me occupied together with One Tap Hero and Mikey Shorts. Glory Week, this will be.
