Reviews for Hero Agency

What a one-trick pony.
The graphics, music, and the overall effort put into the game works alright, but in terms of the gameplay... its just sad.
The whole game tips on whether or not you can balance potions and gold income. On my first playthrough I was slowly starved out as I had no idea what the upgrades did, but on my second playthrough I went all out looting and got onto the fast-track of beating the game in 2 minutes, then won in about 15 minutes of staring at my screen.
The game really falls flat on this stat system, as 2 of the skills are counter-productive if taken at the wrong time.

Here's the gist of it:
A hero needs about 2 in looting to be able to supply themselves with potions.
When a hero hits 99, you lose them and their hero slot.
Now, skill increases the production speed of heroes while knowledge increases exp gain. EXP is only useful for finishing the game once you've already "beaten" it, and beating it is simply done by getting your hero to 2 looting and then up looting and health slowly while keeping potions up. In other words, your task in this game is to figure out that only 2 of the stats will help you win while the other 2 will help you win/lose faster depending on which direction you're going. Not fun; not challenging.
2 stars for effort.

Sorry but this is far from being a complete game. So much of it is half-finished and overall seems like a half-assed attempt at making a game. 2 stars for the attempt but no more.

Well after 45 minutes of buying potions, I've come to the conclusion that this is probably the best potion buying simulator out right now.

Hired 3 heroes
Had to order the 3rd one to stop
Grind 35 minutes of buying one potion a piece for heroes 1 & 2
The only action I'm doing is buying potions
Picking the occasional gifted attribute bonus
Notice that there is no efficient way to obtain gold
Going back and forth buying my two remaining heroes potions
They are slowly dying and gold is coming in slower

I don't think there is a real feel purpose to this game.

You should add an overwhelming amount of extra content.

Just like it's been said, your income is so low and potions are so expensive, that you can't upgrade your heroes. All you can do is buy potions or your heroes will die. And if your heroes die, you don't get to hire one for a low price, your game is just over.

If the balance was fixed, it could be fun. But, the balance is completely broken, so it sucks.

2 slots stayed locked through the entire game, even after retiring 4 heroes
