Thanks, I wondered if they actually intended for it to be this hard! :P 

Part of what kinda turns me off also is that the difficulty depends largely on chance; if you acquire a really powerful epic/legendary hero randomly in one of the packs, everything becomes easier regardless of how much you engage with the game's strategy. How hard the game is really depends on which characters you unlock, and even the most "skilful" use of lower-tier characters won't make some of those battles winnable.

Indeed.

I just started playing it today, thought it was kinda fun, but already I've gotten to a point where I'm just having to call it quits. I simply can't progress any further due to the difficulty. I guess unless you want to pay, and honestly... I didn't find it that exciting, you really do need that random-luck-of-the-draw in getting a high end hero to help you progress.

All I'm getting is "This app is incompatible with your device."

I have Nexus 7 2013 (Android 4.4 KitKat)

The interface for buying hero packs really strongly reminded me of ME3's multiplayer unlocks (even down to the tiers and names), which did prompt me to make that comparison. In ME3, you could still easily play with a basic character and never have to unlock the best items, at least on lower difficulties (because the game involved some degree of skill) but Heroes of Dragon Age is essentially all about the unlocks and the randomness of acquring a really useful or necessary character - there's not as much "game" there to sustain the system outside acquiring character packs again and again and again.

I don't think ME3 MP made them a lot of money ... so this time they did what everyone else is doing, make a microtransaction game for the whales/idiots.

Everyone, don't be an idiot please. If you feel compelled to give Bioware extra money just buy extra copies of their single player games and gift them or something.

The loading screen is amusing. Still installing...

How can we possibly know that?

The only thing they've said is that it was much more successful than they were expecting. It clearly earned enough to make the development of five more expansion packs worth their time. 

And just to point out: the team developing HoDA has nothing to do with Bioware. They're a small EA mobile team working out of Sacramento. EA (and practically every publisher) runs these kind of microtransaction/F2P systems in many mobile games, the connection you're making between ME3 and HoDA is a bit tenuous. EA has dozens of other games running with these features, it's not like they specifically made this one as a response to ME3's multiplayer.

(Dragon Age Legends had microtransactions, as did Mass Effect Infiltrator, and they were made before or at the same time as ME3.)

Too bad we can't pick our heroes. I wouldn't like Merrill bouncing around in my phone as a security risk. She'd be an easy mark for hackers who I view as modern day demons.

I downloaded it yesterday. For a freemium game, it is a fun little game. Like ME3 MP, it uses packs to get acquire heroes and ruins. Unlike Dragon Age Legends, you don't get to control your characters in battle. It makes it a lighter-rpc and gaming experience. I don't mind as it is something I can play quickly at work on while watching TV. I hope that playing the game translates into something for DA:Inquisition like the previous flash games did for previous DA games.

I'm enjoying the game a lot more than I thought I would. A nice little diversion.

Really having fun with this game! Strangely addicting. Is anyone else having issues with it crashing? It crashes for me occasionally, and once twice it even (temporarily) erased all my characters and progress. Weird.

Pretty fun otherwise.

I am having fun with this game. I just wish when I went to purchase a new character with my in game money that I didn't have to hit it 25 times or even exit the screen and then come back in. But for that being my main complaint, that is pretty darn good.

Uuummmm..... It looks like a ton of fun, but it's not actually letting me play. No matter what I touch it advances to the next stage of the game. It's like I'm just watching the story. Is the first bit simply instructional, or do I need to uninstall it and download it again?

I am totally addicted. It's like a blackhole for my wallet.
What teams are people running?
I have Queen of the Blackmarsh, Isabela, the Arishok, Yavanna, and Merrill.

I don't have the economy to let this black hole me at the moment even if I wanted to, but I lucked out and got Aveline in one of my packs! =)

Aveline and the Dark Revenant tanking, Genlock stunning rows and drake blasting everything from behind. Add a very (apparently) shy wyvern into the mix and that's my gang =)

Out of curiosity, for those who have been playing: has anyone gotten Zevran yet?  I'm hopeful he's recruitable :)

Sorry, but based on the list posted on the Wiki, he is either not playable or no one has encountered him yet.

Thank you, eluvianix, I appreciate it :)  I'm actually one of the folks who has been trying to keep that page updated...I'm not able to play HoDA at the moment so I try to check up on game mechanics and character appearances when/where I can.  Zev may be quite a rare drop, or else will be debuted later on. 

Thanks again! :)
