Turning Heroic

by on 21st Jun 2013

This is ingenious. Just when you thought it had all been seen and done, with nothing more to have you turn back, you are brought about, to contemplate the possibility - facing a certain Arena of Heroes, Sneaky Games' turn-based tactical MOBA, could be worth your time.

Arena of Heroes wants to train you to be a Guardian of the Arena!

Players in Arena of Heroes are referred to as Guardians. They are tasked by the Halcyon council to protect the mysterious power that resides beneath the massive fields of Towers at the center of the Galaxy. As you play, your experience as a Guardian will go up, and you will win fame and fortune (...)

Four heroes per side, minions, static defences and an enemy base to conquer; all the staples of the genre remain. Yet, having eschewed the typical real-time, moment to moment reactions and hastiness in favour of a more thoughtful, deliberate gameplay, this offering attempts to shift the focus to something decidedly more strategic in nature.

Players can opt to go with the standard two-minute turns or choose to skirmish in asynchronous mode, which affords a hefty two days per turn.

If you feel you're up to the challenge, know that Arena of Heroes has recently started welcoming the likes of you to paticipate in the ongoing open beta.
