Star Wars is always fit for a computer game. Be it as an online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront, as an MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic or as a mobile RPG Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.
A mobile game? Really? Yes, because Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes from EA looks pretty good for a game that you play on your smartphone. Essentially, it is a fighting game where you send the heroes and villains from the official Star Wars universe into battle. Each hero has unique abilities that you can further improve. When a battle occurs, it is fought turn-based in decent 3D graphics, where you must tactically apply your heroes’ skills. Especially the RPG elements, into which the majority of the money from Jabba or EA flowed, are highly valued in the distant mobile galaxy.
You will initially follow a campaign for the light side of the Force, followed by a campaign for the dark side. After that, open battles take place. By the way, locations like Hoth, Tatooine, or Coruscant serve as battlefields. However, you will not only face AI opponents, but also challenge other players in PvP battles. Through a leaderboard, you can see how well you are doing compared to other players.
Collect them all, no matter which side!
By receiving so-called “shards” as rewards during the game, you can unlock new characters and add them to your “army” as you progress. But choose wisely here, because the heroes have complementary abilities, and it is of great importance to the battle strategy how the team is composed. Interestingly, it will be possible to fight characters from the dark and light side of the Force together in open battles.
However, you also need the shards to upgrade heroes that you already “own”. So you always have to think carefully about what to spend your collected “shards” on. The collecting urge is supposed to be awakened in the online mobile RPG just like the ambition to always be the best. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is expected to be released at the end of the year for Android and iOS devices. Here is the official website of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.
