Claw Heroes

Mixed Feelings

I understand the novelty and the “concept“ of the claw, but it’s more twitchy than your local meth head and more un unpredictable than the weather in the Midwest. If you position your claw to pick up 4 items, you have an equal chance of all 4 making it to your hero that you do for none of them to make it. Need an item in the corner? Not gonna get it in this game. Trying to grab a special item? 50/50 shot, but if it’s an item placed by an enemy 100% chance it’s going to hit your hero. The claw “hits” the pipe when it’s no where close to it. And will flip upside down and grab absolutely nothing, but on the flip side, the claw will occasionally flip an item into the pipe, although that’s very rare, it’s more likely the claw will drop your items on the way to your hero. And last but not least, you can pick up an item, and it won’t make it to your hero because it gets caught on the pipe and falls out, which is just wonderful, especially when it’s the make it or break it item for the boss battle

Ok

Fun game but with some problems. Physics of claw are kinda wonky - it often gets pushed sideways when it gets to the side to drop (one time even pushed upside down). There's one creature I encountered that every 2-3 turns reduces your strength PERMANENTLY (for the entire battle), which means if you have no way of countering that, you will eventually get into a stalemate (as long as you get enough shields to block its attacks) - that's ridiculously stupid design. Also the UI is annoying with all the red dot/update badges - many of them appear when there's no update!
