    I recommend Battleheart for people who like real time strategy games and want a reliable company that supports it.

    It successfully scratches the MMORPG itch of party-based combat while being a completely pick up and play game single player game.

    Battleheart is the epitome of casual gaming on the App Store. It goes alongside Fruit Ninja, Flight Control, and Canabalt as one of the best casual games I have ever played.

    And though battle entails a string of familiar bad guys coming at your party, as it always does, the game's intuitive touch controls and smart auto-command system make Battleheart an engrossing, frantic strategy title.

    Fun as it may be, what makes Battleheart a tremendous success is the uniqueness of its formula.

    A cute action-RPG in which you battle monsters and upgrade your gear. Works better on iPad.

    Battleheart is a brilliant production that you shouldn't miss: surprisingly deep, Battleheart will catch you with its terrific graphics and simple gameplay, granting hours of fun. Tons of items and great personalization features will keep you on your iPhone for quite some time.

    Battleheart delivers an excellent mix of immediacy and depth, thanks to a good number of levels and an engaging gameplay. The game requires some effort to overcome the latest battles: you must manage upgrades, equipment and characters in order to complete all the challenges. The graphics are really cute and stylish. Don't miss it!

    The fighting stays fast-paced and engaging because you must constantly issue new orders.

    Mika Mobile has once again commanded our collective attention with a game that is both easy on the eyes and immensely satisfying. Buy it without hesitation and cross your fingers for plenty of free characters and levels in the future.

    Battleheart's also far deeper than you might give it credit for, and horribly addictive. It truly is the Pringles of gaming.

    Battleheart combines a neat real-time combat system and class interactions that will feel familiar to followers of Western RPGs (including MMOs), though the controls can cause some confusion when it's least required.

    It's charming throughout and very easy to get into, while not sacrificing depth too much. Here's hoping for an update or two offering Game Center support, new items and other delights.

    Someone has to take up arms and teach the goblin king that he can't just park his war-hog in the swamp. That someone might as well be you.

    Battleheart is beautiful, well-designed, and does a great job of scratching my RPG itch. The repetitive grind offered by the battles is unfortunate, but even with a lack of variety it's a great, fairly-priced game.

    Battleheart is an underwhelming RPG that, while boasting a variety of items to upgrade your character with, is hindered by faulty controls and uninspired graphics and sound.

    I've finished it twice, it was a lot of fun. I loved the simple clean style of the characters and FX. Selecting characters that were overlapping was difficult at times, but an understandable short coming. Perhaps another row of character icons similar to the powerup icons to help with character selecting? Eagerly waiting a sequel. Full Review »
