Summary

Clicker Heroes has a TrueGG Rating of 84.3%: the positive share among 324 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours. That is 5.3 points below Steam's overall 89.6%, so players who really play the current version are harsher than the headline number suggests (all time: 90.7%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 11% of the total, with 81% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 91.5%, 7.2 points above all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (89.4% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you.
