This is a simply fantastic game! After playing so many cookie-cutter MMO's this is such a refreshing change. The game has adventure-type battle, very nice graphics and a nice crafting interface. The community in the game is awesome and there are battles in the game that fully encourage actual MMO style playing. V&H is loaded with quests and some are simple and some are like an intricate puzzle - all enjoyable and filled with humor and a good story line - this is the first time in years I actually bother to read what the NPC's are saying. V&H has a fantastic team of developers who actually care about the player base and this also makes this game better than the rest - they actually listen to the players and have made changes that the gamers request. Another important attribute is that the game is actually free to play. We have all seen many games make this claim then after 30 levels or so you can't really go further without paying cash and that is not the case with this game. One of the best aspects of this game is that it is NOT pay to win; you can buy shop items for cosmetics or buffs but that in no way makes one superior in this well thought out game. If you're tired of cookie-cutter, pay-to-win games full of foul mouthed cretins this is the game for you! I couldn't say enough good about Villagers and Heroes.
I'm glad to have found this game back in August 2011, I've been here ever since! What a fantastic experience it has been throughout the years. This game has plenty of features for all types of players. Crafting, Gathering, Combat, Villages and much more. New content is still being rolled out with a lot of great updates soon to be hitting live.
The newest Update has done away with purchased energy, and is 100% free to play! I have played this game for about a year now, and enjoy the community feel, engaging gameplay and Devs that listen, Keep up the good work Guys and gals!
I've been playing this game for a short time now. BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EXPERIENCE. So fresh, So Free, So Female friendly, So Child friendly, So Adult Friendly. I could go on forever but lest get to the point. I found this game when my laptop had Linux fully installed on it (no windows I couldn't live with it) at first I thought this was for children. BUT!! I gave it a go. Haven't stopped playing it since. My experience was 100% new. gave me a way out of the EVIL cycle of most games with blood, guts, gore, nudity, etc. I am trying to evolve my YouTube channel around it my experience was that good (only a few games did that for me but not like this). I tried to get more people to play this even though I have only done 6 videos on it (don't worry more are on there way never stopping till I'm dropping). THEN THE LEAP HAPPENED!!!. It was on Steam my favourite game platform and more people started playing this. The Developers completed my dream just be putting it on Steam. I stopped using my old account in exchange for the steam version which I think is much better because it automatically signs in for me (I'm lazy). So in Conclusion I give this game 10/10 score for clean, happy, good, friendly experience. Love this game and if you don't like it then leave the gaming world forever and never return because your not wanted (unless your a good friend of mine that is the only exception).
Great game , been playing for around 3 years and have never once thought of leaving or not playing. The community is great and the quests are demanding enough to keep you entertained for hours ( sometimes weeks and weeks), if your waiting for the ****. Overall I love the game.
(Review part 2)
You have definitely cought a big fish!
I hope you have a 'universal concept', with this game! It can be "neverendless"! ... Even Blizzard wouldn't be able to Coop with a project like this, regarding to World of Warcraft
This game is not free to play at all.
When you reach level 16 in a skill, the game forces you to buy energy potions worth 1$ each or wait 4 hours to continue farming for a few more minutes.
I had high hopes for this game but unfortunately, this screw up made me uninstall it.
If you wanna spend 500$ to go from level 17 to level 18, this is game is perfect for you.
