    Hero Academy is a bit of chess, Words With Friends, and fantasy combat all mixed together.

    The bottom line of this review is that you can't beat free, and the cost here overcomes any shortcomings. The cartoon graphics are very crisp and clear, and they look great on the smaller screens used by the iPhone and iPod touch. We'll certainly be keeping this iPhone app installed, and we look forward to seeing how the board looks on the larger iPad screen.

    Hero Academy wants a piece of the emerging asynchronous market, and offers a compelling turn based strategy game. After some matches you begin to discover patterns and strategies, and before you know it you're completely hooked.

    Hero Academy is simple, simplistic, and ultimately unsatisfying. You might as well find a friend and take turns punching each other in the arm to see who gives up first.

    I don't know what reviewers are looking for in a game based on their reviews here, but it apparently isn't fun, humor, or strategy. Or FUN, did I mention that? The two available teams offer markedly different approaches you can use, and with the promise of forthcoming teams (which I assume will also offer completely new variety), I don't see myself getting sick of this in the foreseeable future. Kudos to you, Robot Entertainment! Keep this quality of stuff coming please!… Expand

    This is a game that seems too straightforward at first glance, but the hidden depth is enormous. People who stick with this game are typically those who enjoy chess or RTS games. The developer has some serious denial issues about who their game really appeals to. They wouldn't want to hear this, but Hero Academy is a niche game. It'll immensely satisfy people within that niche, but everyone else will pass.… Expand

    Android version promised. Never delivered. If you do not attend to your examination, you fail the test.
