The hero turns into a "Princess

When you reach Hell gate The hero turns into a "Princess.
He dies soo fast and easy so you can not use him anymore in combat....
Also since you max him before you reach hell gate he can't get stronger!
The Hero should have higher level cap than the other monsters.....
In the other epic wars I could use hero always...
The best item in the game that can make the hero useful again you only get in when you finish all Trial levels.
This game gets too repetitive and leveling up becomes hard in last levels because its takes so much time. I wish there was a speed beyond x3. Even x3 is SLOW!
I rate you 7 because when I finished all the traits I didn't feel satisfied I felt like I wasted a lot of time....
Make leveling easier its get tiring getting exp.

Newer Versions should be better not Worse...

As always this game is amazing with the graphics, sounds, music, and scripting; however, the game lacks where others in the series did not. The bosses are cool and the units for the most part are cool with great art but when you increase their size it creates a terrible affect and it looks poorly done decreasing the quality of the work. When done it is also very noticeable from the fact that the pixels are clearly visible and the health bar is oddly bigger than usual. The Heroes are cool as always but they end up becoming useless units that sit in the corner of your map while you fight of the foe until he makes it to your side making the hero also a burden not a Hero. The game play is straightforward once you notice that and you have no problem defeating any of your opponents until you reach the trails which features opponents that have the power to kill your units in one hit and slowly approach your useless hero or units that are numerous and just spam you until you get to the main one. The game play needs to be fixed overall and the art with the pixels. The other things that decrease the game is that the game trades off features by having it so that your characters have slots to increase their strength, but then the magic is put in place of some of the slots decreasing the amount that could be increased and causing the player to not only learn the abilities, but once learnt, the player must keep that unit until the player finds another unit that has the ability. The weapons are nice though and add to the game play by having only one to chose from when trying to fight off the opponents. Another factor towards the game play that I found annoying is the fact that some units spawn at different times than others and have different speeds and some units may look incredible strong on the stats but could be worthless resulting from the fact that they almost never spawn when needed and are almost never where they should be when needed because they move slower than a turtle. Finally the game has to work on the story some more, it is good but could use something more to make it great. The three characters you can choose seem too distant because they never even see each other, yet they all start at the same spot in the same world, wow that's weird...Overall the game is very fun to play and keeps the player coming back with good art, sounds, music, and scripting; but could use some work on the story and game play.

Well...

Its a fun game, but i think i like the previous ones better. I like the graphic and item idea for EW5, much nicer graphic, but i dont like how its not an easy access for the players.

for example, i have to a click button and go into one of the option to look at the unit stats every time when i just wanna take a look at it, or when i am in the battle field i have to click on a character inoder to use magic. really annoying since it can also move the unit in which your leader often is suddenly at the very front of the battle field and then next thing you know. game over. Also your leader pretty much does nothing except in the very beginning where they arent likely to die. either than that they are just a crystal vase.

I have to say I really liked the 2 and 3 even though the graphic isnt as nice as the newer ones, and new ideas that isnt there, but it was more enjoyable to play and easy to control.

Thou shal feel the wrath of heaven

Well, no we won't, your a fallen angel. Also her sword changed color when she attacked. Most of my problems are little things like that. As far as animation goes, it was done really well although I feel like you cut a few corners.
My biggest complaint is that units stop scaling after a while and become horrible in later levels. I don't like how after you have all 9 of their skills they can't get any better except with gear. I realize a cap is necessary but personally I prefer infinite diminishing returns.

Worse than Epic War 4

Definatly yes, graphics and sound effects are better than the previous game, but the skill and equipment system should be the same as epic war 4, same as unlockable monster system.
