AppSafari wrote "I recommend Battleheart for people who like real time strategy games and want a reliable company that supports it." TouchArcade said "It successfully scratches the MMORPG itch of party-based combat while being a completely pick up and play game single player game." No DPad said "Battleheart is the epitome of casual gaming on the App Store. It goes alongside Fruit Ninja, Flight Control, and Canabalt as one of the best casual games I have ever played." The AV Club wrote " And though battle entails a string of familiar bad guys coming at your party, as it always does, the game's intuitive touch controls and smart auto-command system make Battleheart an engrossing, frantic strategy title." Thunderbolt said "Fun as it may be, what makes Battleheart a tremendous success is the uniqueness of its formula." Level7.nu concluded "A cute action-RPG in which you battle monsters and upgrade your gear. Works better on iPad."
SPazioGames wrote "Battleheart is a brilliant production that you shouldn't miss: surprisingly deep, Battleheart will catch you with its terrific graphics and simple gameplay, granting hours of fun. Tons of items and great personalization features will keep you on your iPhone for quite some time. " Multiplayer.it said " Battleheart delivers an excellent mix of immediacy and depth, thanks to a good number of levels and an engaging gameplay. The game requires some effort to overcome the latest battles: you must manage upgrades, equipment and characters in order to complete all the challenges. The graphics are really cute and stylish. Don't miss it! " Pocket Gamer UK said " Battleheart's thrilling concoction of strategy and role-playing will prove spellbinding to any iPhone gamer looking for a quality fantasy action title. " Wired said "The fighting stays fast-paced and engaging because you must constantly issue new orders." Modojo said " Mika Mobile has once again commanded our collective attention with a game that is both easy on the eyes and immensely satisfying. Buy it without hesitation and cross your fingers for plenty of free characters and levels in the future. "
Eurogamer wrote " Battleheart's also far deeper than you might give it credit for, and horribly addictive. It truly is the Pringles of gaming " AppSpy wrote " Battleheart combines a neat real-time combat system and class interactions that will feel familiar to followers of Western RPGs (including MMOs), though the controls can cause some confusion when it's least required. " 148 Apps said " It's charming throughout and very easy to get into, while not sacrificing depth too much. Here's hoping for an update or two offering Game Center support, new items and other delights. " Slide to Play wrote " Someone has to take up arms and teach the goblin king that he can't just park his war-hog in the swamp. That someone might as well be you. " GamePro said "Battleheart is beautiful, well-designed, and does a great job of scratching my RPG itch. The repetitive grind offered by the battles is unfortunate, but even with a lack of variety it's a great, fairly-priced game." Gamekult gave the game a rating of 70%. IGN said " Battleheart is an underwhelming RPG that, while boasting a variety of items to upgrade your character with, is hindered by faulty controls and uninspired graphics and sound. "
