LightSlinger Heroes: Puzzle RPG

Fun, could be addictive even if it were still updating with events and such and had a slightly more polished feel. Graphics are just ok and sound effects/music uninspired, but the core gameplay is engaging enough to keep me around a bit longer than expected. Hopefully something comes out of this as it is a great concept.

I've been playing lightslingers for 2 months now. I have to say the battle system is very well thought out! You (can) play this game without spending money. You just have to grind the elite stages for character pieces every day. The only problem I can find in the game is when you battle in the arena. An enemy with the blind ability can make 2 to 3 of your characters miss their hits up to 3 turns. Considering you only have around 10 to 15 turns this makes the enemy way overpowered. But beyond that great game!

It's a very neat bubble shooter, I like this better than the standard ones. It's pretty hard to raise your monsters max level, so it gets annoying when you're trying to progress. Another complaint is that it pauses when it tells you how many moves are left, it's especially annoying on the rotating ball stages, and when you need to hit moving targets.

To make a long story short, this once near perfect game went through a massive overhaul that ripped its playability out. This latest update however is finally a step in the right direction; changes were made that the community begged for to fix several issues, and do far it's working. It doesn't fix everything, but that's a tall order for one patch. I'm afraid to hope, but that glimmer is there... Worth a look if they keep going in this direction.

it's easy to play, hard to put down. (at least until you have to wait for life to refill) good game, tutorial well done, decent way to pass time UPDATE*** This game is no longer fun thanks to recent update. I went from progressing slow and steady to not being able to win a single match because they've upped the difficulty levels overnight and suddenly its a game that I can no longer play. How sad, because I was enjoying it and contemplating putting money into it. Seems it's a loss for us both

I only had this game for a week and I enjoyed it. Before the latest update, the game was awesome. I had teams with great synergy and had to plan out my orb order. But now, they took out several different aspects that made it an RPG. There was a gear system that forced the play of story mode. Gone. Different spells between elements when you matched 5+ of the same colored orbs. Gone. I lost my account during the latest update, but they helped me retrieve it. So at least they're good on that.

It has potential. So far it's really fun but still needs work. i getting kind of annoyed that it continuously keeps telling me i have a completed achievement but can only claim it if i pay. the quests are just goals to reach certain level maybe have them be defeat a certain amount of different type of creatures. i feel like there is not much effort in the imagination of the content. i like the base stole of play though. If that makes sense.

Latest patch update completely transformed the game and not in a positive way. Basically destroyed all the hard work I put into the game. Less easy to understand. Usability lacks, the update didn't even address the simpler bugs that have been there for a while. Reskin of the game decreased visual interest and made it harder to see the heroes

Too much to do, really. Several different energy types, three different stores with about 10 different currencies...it's just too much needless complexity. Add server communication delays to every action and you spend more time loading than doing anything else. The concept is fun, but it would benefit from simplifying the interface and systems.

Nicely done, very beautiful art and I like how it plays. Hope it keeps up being fun and not devolve into a grind. I'd rate it higher but the initial load times are just insufferable. Surely this could do better. Also, I'd like to subscribe for a bit but this is insanely overpriced. There's no way I can afford that for a mobile game. You should tweak that, too, and I'll consider it.

The most recent update (10/14) ruined some big parts of this game. Moving from the star system to ascension is very confusing and it caused a lot of people to lose a lot of progress, including myself! For example, I was 1 star away from a 7 star hero, now the 6 stars that were added to that hero are gone! That's only one example of what I lost due to the update. Devs, please read the global chat, as everyone has been voicing their opinions, no one likes the update, and many people are leaving...

Eh, there's little reason to play the game. The gameplay isn't particularly engaging, summoning isn't fun because it's just getting the same characters over and over just to merge them together, the reward for beating levels is just lots of feeding units to level up characters, the entire game is just... eh. I never had any desire to come back and play the game as there was nothing the game did well enough to draw me back in. There are other issues but the game is very forgettable.

This game continues to be a lot of fun. It helps to buy supplies to get rhrough levels but with time and experience you can get through without having to buy crutches. Lots of players worldwide make this especially enjoyable. The character design is very nice, the combat system is an easy to understand bubble buster. There are always lots of goals and subgoals to the game and it really helps to keep me interested. My biggest and only complaint is the music.The battle music is just sad. Sorry.

The free to play experience is sorely lacking, and the gameplay doesn't feel rewarding at all. In this kind of game, you set out to collect character cards, but in this one, even the weakest cards are drip fed to you You won't feel much progression in terms of character collection or evolution. Meanwhile, the game does everything possible to incentivize you to pay up or get the VIP status.

I like the fact that while I have the option for microtransactions, it isnt a game breaking prominent aspect of the game. It is kind of a side thought while you can still play the game without it. I also like that it is a bubble popper with slightly different types of levels instead of standard match 3 game play like most of the other hero games I see.

So, I had to suffer through that long unskippable tutorial just to connect to FB and recover my old account. As usual, top UX solutions, best of the best. Needs improvements in terms of UI/UX. The bubbles are good with mouse-point-and-click, not so good with touchscreens where finger and the rest of the hand obstructs the view and costs you precision and accuracy. The deck management interfaces could be simplified and will benefit from it.

While I appreciate the gameplay loop and the character art, premium currency is pushed too hard. Being unable to play stages after you completed them is a big downside, as well as only 3 attempts on a stage before an atrocious cooldown if you don't beat it. I shouldn't hit a wall in only an hour of playing that prevents me from progressing.

I've just started, but so far so good. Cute, fun, game. Put some relaxing music in the background and let the time fly. Nice work. After some 3 days...totally hooked. :) @devs 1) I'm playing w/o sound - sound is terrible, but hey, it's free, 2) One of the ads that should load is broken - "Failed to load add"

Update completely restructured the hero system to a clunky, confusing process that's more than annoying. The summons are filled with exp fodder so you have a mass of exp monsters and no heros able to use them as the level cap is so easily met that without being able to acend those heros makes it almost impossible to progress them. Additionally, even if you lock a hero because you want to keep that one you can never get rid of the red dot or arrow prompting you to destroy it for ascension.

This was a great game and then this update happened. It's always updates that ruin games. This star system is stupid. Bring back the borders so I can just take a quick look at my collection to figure out what I need. Instead of counting stars. 6 stars? 7 stars? Do you have any idea how irritating it is trying to count stars to figure out what level of Hero I need? Seriously, bring back the borders or at least the option to display borders instead of stars for ascension levels.

The game's core powering up systems aren't explained anywhere in game, and parts are barely explained on Facebook. The latest update aimed to simplify this (still no explanations how). But once you know how, you realize it now costs 2x as much to ascend a hero. Additionally, the guaranteed 5-star after 100 summons has become an epic (3-star equiv). The actual bubble shooter part itself is cool. But without powered up heroes, you will have to grind very slowly. And these changes made it hard.

Fun game with decent progression. Heroes retain value leveling up as they eventually become featured in future weekly events. Event energy is very unbalanced from one to the next. There are also significantly overpriced in app bundles I'd be surprised anyone would ever buy. Dev support is very slow...took months to fix a chat bug. Wish there were some special holiday events. But overall, I really do like playing this.

So the Devs took a good game and poopooed upon it with little thought it seems. They are frequently pushing updates the change the core mechanics with what seems to be little thought of the game as a whole, en example being this last patch changed combo abilities removing a lot of things, but a cards ability still adds a modifier to the removed combo move making the card worthless. This game is like a totaled car that got a fresh paint job, looks grate but otherwise trashed.

Very fun and addicting! there aren't those annoying adds and I love bubble shooter so this game is great for me. I like the fun and cute characters along with the fact that you get to collect cards or "characters", build your own deck and upgrade the ones you want. It's not hard in the fact that there isn't an over load of information you need to know to play this game so thats nice, but you do have to use skill and some strategy. So good luck and have fun!

Screen goes black occasionally when trying to initiate something between battles resulting in a need to restart the game, but in all a great game! To be fair, I was warned that it hasn't been optimized for my tablet yet. Keep up the fantastic work!

Tidy little puzzle game, nicely put together. love the art style, animations are fluid. Smooth controls allow precision aiming. I dont believe I have seen much in the way of puzzle quest bubble popping games. Here is the big downer, your a bit greedy I dont know why every mobile game has to cater to whales, why dont you have more numerous payments at about 90% less than you have now break the damn trend. With a 70% "discount" (Ha!) a base pack is over £20, that's disgusting for damn puzzle game.
