As such with all the trains delayed by 20+ mins I am taking that time to write this week's review.
Hero Academy: www.robotentertainment.com/games/heroacademy
What is it?
Hero Academy(HA) is a turn based strategy game for the iOS.
What is it about?
HA is squad based game where you control a group of heroes. Your aim is to either destroy the other team's heroes' crystals or wipe out the other team all together.
Appearance?
As you can see from the above screenshot, HA is bright and colourful, just what you would expect from any modern iOS game.
Game Modes?
Sadly HA doesn't have any single player, instead the whole thing is multiplayer played in a similar way to to the 'with friends' games.
How much fun is this game?
Well unlike the With Friends games, this game alerts you almost the moment your opponent has made a move, so providing you don't take your time the games are very fast and can be quite involving.
For a game with an apparently very basic system (5 Action Points and you can spend them however you want) there is actually a tremendous amount of depth and as Robot Entertainment release more teams this should only increase said depth.
Price:
The standard game is free from the iStore, however for small transactions you can purchase additions such as unlock able colour themes and new teams. None of these are required to play, but I can tell you, the Dark Elves are worth the price, plus buying them also removes advertising! Win/Win!
What problems are there with this game?
Well because of its multiplayer only requirement, this means you need an internet connection to play. So therefore if your iOS decide is an iTouch and your nowhere near a hotspot most of the time, then expect to only play this at home.
Should I buy this game?
You mean should you download the basic pack for free? Hell yeah! It's free! And you can make up your own mind then if you want the added premium extras afterwards.
So go on, treat yourself to a free game, I'll see you in the arena!
