Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Herolike steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

Here you can see Herolike's Steam rating and reviews between February 2016 and June 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 86.6% (March 2016) and 58.4% (May 2022).

Considering the 54 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Herolike could be a small indie success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.

Review Languages

Time Played

Chart displaying Herolike percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Herolike depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is acceptable, with 5 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 59 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Herolike and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
