    Overview

    Hero Academy is a two player asynchronous tile based strategy game made by Robot Entertainment for iOS and PC via Steam. The game is set in a light-hearted fantasy world where humans, dark elves, dwarves and orcs meet up to fight on the academy playfields.

    Gameplay

    No Caption Provided

    Each game takes place on a nine by five square board where the teams start on opposite sides. Each turn consists of five action points players can spend on placing and moving characters, buffing them up and attacking. Each character can take and dish out varying amounts of damage, and each have their strengths and weaknesses.

    The goal of the game is to either kill all your opponents characters or break their Crystals. There are either one or two crystals per team depending on which board you´re randomly assigned, and the crystals take a considerable amount of damage.

    The bar at the bottom of the screen fills up with new characters and items between turns until the players “academy” is empty, represented by the number over the door in the bottom left corner. The board contains special tiles that grant either extra damage or defense to characters standing on them. One special tile also doubles damage to crystals whenever your team is occupying it.

    In App Purchases

    The game is free to download ($5 on Steam) and The Council is included, while Dark Elves, Dwarves and The Tribe can be bought for $2 each on iOS and $5 each on Steam which includes custom avatars for the team. The Team Fortress 2 team is unlocked when game is purchased for Steam, and accounts can be synced between platforms to make the TF2 team playable on iOS as well. Custom team colors and avatar pictures are also available for purchase in the iOS version, but these are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. The teams are also balanced in a way that does not favor the paid teams over the free one.
