What players say

Play Time: 27.8hrs Achievements: 22 out of 23 achievements (250 Mana left.. lets see how long it takes me to get this) Date of original review: July 3rd 2026 Rating: 7 1/3 Forest Heroes: is a "tug of war" game where it's about using your character, animal friends, and spells to beat the evil plants. Nothing more ironic then beating a massive tree with a ton of Acorns. The game comes with 56 allies, 237 Artifacts...

Cute little roguelike deckbuilder, if you played flash games like the epic war games you'll feel right at home with the gameplay loop.

Really unbalanced as it is, it is so easy to break the game that there is no difficulty at all. You could put your cat on the keyboard and it would win.
