Turn-based combat on a board with tiles that provide tactical advantages.Įach turn you have a limited number of ‘moves’ (5) represented by that pizza pie of blue triangles in the bottom left. Summoning a unit, moving a unit, upgrading a unit, attacking, and healing each take a move. The best players are the ones who have mastered how to move in, kill, and retreat safely. I’m still noobing it up by going in guns blazing, leaving my units on the enemy’s side for them to be killed easily next turn. Hero Academy is a turn-based strategy game. You place your units on a grid and compete against another player for positioning. Positioning is really the key. Each unit has abilities that take some learning to utilize effectively. An archer is an amazing ranged unit that, if upgraded, can wreak havoc on a crystal (the objective you want to destroy to win) or soft units. However, fail to position her correctly and a Void Monk could mop her up and move back to the safety of his side. I’ve been playing Hero Academy for over a week now. Let’s analyze that statement. I’m playing an iOS game for a week! I normally play around with a game on the iPhone for a couple of days, maybe poking around for a few minutes here and there while waiting for my car to be serviced or standing around between classes. Hero Academy is a game that I’m religiously picking up each night and playing for a solid 30-40 minutes. Hero Academy for the iOS offers unit customization (for a price) and a very polished user interface.
