Elements: Epic Heroes is a fantasy RPG developed by Zadzen Games for iOS and Android. With over one million downloads on the Google Play Store alone, and a 4/5 star rating aggregated from over 120,000 reviews, it’s clear that Elements: Epic Heroes is a hit with a large audience. Is the game worthy of its popularity and reviews? In this article I examine the good and bad aspects of Elements: Epic Heroes and offer Tips, Tricks, and Cheats to make your playing experience as enjoyable and pain-free as possible.
Elements: Epic Heroes will be easy to pick up for fans of roleplaying games, regardless of what system they usually play on. With a party system, traditional quests, and an epic adventure, the game does not stray far from the traditional RPG model. Upon loading into the game for the first time, the player is guided through a tutorial that explains the basics of combat and how to interact with the environment. The concept of swapping party leaders – a mechanic that is crucial to success in the game – is introduced, and after engaging in some simple fights the tutorial concludes as the player zones into the town of Riverfall.
The first tasks a player is charged with are deciding on a username they would like to use for identification when interacting with others, and choosing their party’s leader.
Elements: Epic Heroes allows the player to take control of multiple characters. While you can only play one Hero at a time, it is relatively easy and encouraged to swap the leader (active) Hero in your party. In addition to the fact that the player is only able to control the Hero that is currently party leader, by setting a Hero as party leader that Hero gains more experience than the other two units accompanying them. As such, it’s recommended to swap your Leader at least somewhat regularly in order to keep your party on equal ground. Without swapping, you may find it too difficult to complete certain content because of the under-leveled Heroes.
At the beginning of the game, without spending any real money, the player has access to Warrior, Knight, and Archer.
Warriors use two handed weapons and heavy armor, and can bolster the strength of their party by using War Cry
Knights are similar to “tank” classes found in many MMORPGs. They are equippedwith heavy armor, and a shield. They attack quickly to cause enemies to focus on them rather than party members with lower defense.
Archers use light armor and a bow, and cause high damage with long-range attacks.
Elements: Epic Heroes is a really cool game that you can play, but it’s hard to get items you need and progress through the game without gold and crystals. You can get the gold and crystals through the app store, but this costs you real money, and that really gets expensive. If you don’t want to spend real money in Elements: Epic Heroes, you can download our free hack, which gives you both of these items for free.

Unlockable Characters
Wizard
The wizard is unlockable with real money and is a ranged spell caster and support.
Monk, Duelist, and Engineer have been announced as additional classes planned for inclusion in Elements: Epic Heroes, but they are not currently in the game.
The Basics of Combat
Though quests in Elements: Epic Heroes vary slightly in objective, the way you progress through an area and the way you participate in combat is largely the same. By touching in a certain area on the screen, your party leader will move in the specified direction followed by the rest of your party. Double tapping allows you to quickly dodge enemy attacks and is essential to master in order to keep your party safe from danger.
Each Hero in your party has a Health bar which depletes as they take damage, and a Mana bar which is depleted as the Hero uses special abilities.
During combat, enemies may drop items that, when collected, instantly restore some of your party’s Health or Mana. In addition to these collectible items, you can instantly restore Health or Mana by using a potion. Potions can be received as quest rewards or purchased with gold from the merchant in Riverfall.
During combat, slain enemies will also drop gold and, on occasion, mystery bags. Upon completion of your quest, the mystery bags are opened and you receive one of a list of seemingly random items.
Special abilities are actions that are unlocked as your Hero gains levels, and can be activated by tapping the corresponding button and then quickly tapping the direction you’d like the ability to be aimed towards.
Most of my time playing Elements: Epic Heroes was spent using the Archer, and her first two abilities provide a conical area of effect attack, and the ability to float in the air away from enemies as she attacks uninhibited.
After landing a series of successful attacks, your Hero gains Fury, which is a buff that increases your combat effectiveness. Though combat in general is relatively simple to pick up, players craving a more difficult experience can repeat quests on Heroic where your party leader fights alone rather than in a group of three.
After a certain point, player skill will not be enough to guide your Heroes through the quests, dungeons, and raids of Elements: Epic Heroes. Replacing and/or upgrading your equipment is vital in order to deal enough damage to kill enemies and avoid getting killed yourself.
Equipment
Each Hero can equip a weapon, armor, several rings, and several scrolls.
Weapons and armor are purchased from the gear vendor and are relatively self-explanatory, as they provide increased damage and reduce damage taken respectively. The gear vendor also sells chests, purchasable with the game’s premium currency – crystals – or with gold. The chests contain a random assortment of gear that is higher quality than that for sale from vendors.
Rings and scrolls are purchased from the Merchant. Rings provide different effects such as increased health, damage, or armor, and up to four rings can be equipped at once. Scrolls are similar to Rings in that they provide bonuses in combat, but they are consumable and provide a large boost for a limited amount of time unlike rings which give smaller bonuses and are static.
The merchant also sells Life and Mana potions which can be purchased with Gold.
As you progress through the quests, eventually you will find gems or receive them as rewards. Gems are used at the blacksmith and are used to upgrade your current armor. This is another way you can increase your stats outside of purchasing a new set from the gear vendor.
Though the gear vendor and merchant provide the basics you’ll need for adventuring, like in most roleplaying games the best gear comes from Dungeons and Raids.
Dungeons, Raids, and Infinite Tower
At level 7, the player unlocks the first Dungeon. Dungeons have multiple paths you can explore with varying difficulty, and drop loot useful for upgrading your character. Players who have leveled their Heroes a decent bit can try participating in Raids – Elements: Epic Heroes’ endgame content that requires teaming up with 4 other players. Though it’s possible to participate in raids pretty early on in the game, if you jump in as soon as it is unlocked, you won’t be able to contribute much to the group as the content is designed with max rank (level 35) or close to max rank players in mind.
Players desiring an extra challenge can try climbing the Infinite Tower. The Infinite Tower has a series of floors with groups of increasingly difficult monsters. As the name suggests, there’s no end to the Infinite Tower and eventually you’ll be overwhelmed. This content ensures that even the best players with the best gear can always find a challenge.
Social Interaction
As mentioned above, to tackle Raid content you’ll need to join a band of four other players. In the beginning of the game, players are required to come up with a name that will be displayed to other people playing the game. Though the game is largely a single player experience, by traveling to Skyrock, Elements: Epic Heroes’ central multiplayer hub, you can interact with other players that are currently online. Here, you can send messages to the whole area or direct message specific players. Skyrock is also the area where you can zone into raids, so you’ll likely find a collection of higher leveled players hanging around.
In Riverfall, the starting town, you can hire other players’ characters as mercenaries to temporarily replace a member of your party. This is especially helpful if one or more of your heroes is under leveled and you’d like to continue adventuring without playing catch up.
Elements: Epic Heroes also rewards you for connecting with friends via Facebook. After completing each quest, you’ll have the option to share your status to Facebook to earn a few crystals. You can also hire your friends’ characters as mercenaries for half the normal price.
Every day that you log into Elements: Epic Heroes, you receive a free reward. It’s in a player’s best interest to log in daily regardless of whether or not they intend to play in order to claim the free gift.
Upon completion of a quest, you can share a status to Facebook. This provides you with free crystals which can be used to unlock new Heroes or to get high quality gear through the chests section at the gear vendor.
While you’re in town, click on the envelope in the top right corner of the screen and take a look at events. You can receive awesome rewards by accomplishing these tasks.
In terms of general gameplay, always make sure you’re keeping your Heroes close to the same level. Otherwise you’re going to end up in a situation where the neglected heroes are simply deadweight.
Elements: Epic Heroes also offers cross-platform functionality. Sign up with Facebook to be able to access your saved game on multiple platforms.
Finally, as mentioned above, double tapping should be used frequently to escape from sticky situations. Not only does it move your party leader but also the accompanying members. As you can’t directly control the other members of your party, this is the quickest way to get them out of harm’s way.
Playing Elements: Epic Heroes was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Fun, fast-paced combat combined with the tried and true RPG quest and dungeon format make for a well-polished game that will appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike. However, the game is not without its flaws – the biggest one being the slow to non-existent updates the game is receiving. Elements: Epic Heroes is currently being developed by Zadzen Games, and while they have announced several updates, almost a year has gone by without more information on what they had promised. For example, the duelist, monk, and engineer classes have been in the game for quite some time with only a “No information yet” sort of notice when you try to select the character.
They have also talked about introducing a Guild Peaks area that is described in-game as a guild and fortress in the high mountains. It will be the best location to withstand attacks and sieges. On June 3rd, 2015, the Elements: Epic Heroes game Facebook page posted that Guild Peaks is in the initial stage of development and until additional sponsorship they can’t continue working on it. They also mentioned that they’re working on a PC version of the game and hope that it will renew interest in the game.
The takeaway from this is that although Elements: Epic Heroes has some solid gameplay and is really quite enjoyable, the studio responsible for maintaining it is very small and doesn’t have enough resources to deliver on its promises. Several recent Facebook posts have given a stern warning to hackers and said that they’re working on banning people that exploit the game. Though I didn’t play long enough to encounter people breaking the terms of service, if hacking is prevalent and tying up the studio’s resources it’s possible that we won’t see new content for a while.
The PC version for Elements: Epic Heroes is doing well on Greenlight (game retailer Steam’s player curation program) and with any luck the funds from a successful PC launch will allow the small studio to accomplish what it set out to do. Until then, however, Elements: Epic Heroes appears to be stuck in limbo.
All in all, I would still recommend playing Elements: Epic Heroes. Though future content is not a given like it is with some other games, the game as it stands is a pretty complete experience.
Artwork
Elements: Epic Heroes has a unique and beautiful art style and consistently impressesme with the quality of the UI, world map, characters, and environment Rating: 10/10
Music / Sound Effects:
The music is pretty and relatively varied. I generally turn the default music off when I play games, and didn’t feel the need to do that with this one. Rating: 5/10
Story / Originality:
The story is decent but is generally pretty simple for an RPG. However, the game’s focus is much more on the combat than providing a complicated plot. For a mobile game, I think it strikes the right balance between simplicity and complexity. The game is not very original and plays very much like other action RPGs. However, coming into a genre with a very long history and thousands of iterations, it’s relatively difficult to do something novel. Elements: Epic Heroes imitates but provides a fun and engaging experience in the process. Rating: 6/10
General Gameplay:
Gameplay is action-packed and very enjoyable. Though there’s not a huge variety to the way quests work, the combat doesn’t get old and there’s variety provided by swapping your party leader. The difficulty curve seems pretty well balanced, and there are opportunities for players to challenge themselves at every point along the journey with the inclusion of heroic quests, dungeons, raids, and the infinite tower. Unfortunately, the game isn’t very frequently updated and it seems pretty easy to just power through the game and be left with little to do. Rating: 8/10
Addictiveness:
The game is pretty addictive but I feel like it won’t be able to keep my interest long term because of the lack of new content. Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating:
Elements: Epic Heroes is a great game as is, but suffers from a lack of consistent updates to keep the player-base engaged. The game models itself after an MMORPG by adding group content and encouraging social interaction, but with a relatively limited amount of things to do once players reach max level it has failed at keeping its initial player base logging in. If the games’ release on Steam does well, perhaps Zadzen Games will have the resources to continue supporting it, but my rating assesses the game as is without future speculation. Rating: 6/10
