Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Pixel Heroes was pretty fun for the first hour. But it became very repetitive. Every fight is basically the same. There's just not enough meat on the bones here. I'd love to see a sequel though, with improved graphics and UI, and more…”
“Plays like the dollar store counterpart to a more polished title like Darkest Dungeon. Clunky UI. Too simplistic to be compelling, to complicated to activate the 'just one more quick run' feeling when you get a party wipe.”
People who play it also play: Overfall, Knights of Pen and Paper 2, Cosmic Star Heroine
