Stan Lee’s Hero Command

Previously unremarkable studio F84 Game was noted for a good mobile game in the hack & slash genre. The project came out, as you might guess from the name, under the brand of one of the pillars of the comics industry – Stan Lee. But his name seems superfluous here. Looking at the art and visual style of the game, aimed at a children’s audience, it is not entirely clear why the developers needed a brand that the target audience is unlikely to read.

If we talk about the gameplay, then everything is simple: there is a large map on which tasks arise. The latter are small levels, like those in Dungeon Hunter 5. Energy is spent on completing missions, but they give soft currency, which is spent on pumping the hero. Pumping does not happen instantly, but the time can be shortened – for a hard currency.

I liked that you can replenish the energy in the game by watching ads. This does not mean a long chain of “watching a video – receiving currency – energy”, but a direct link: “watched a video – received energy.”

In the USA, the project has few reviews so far, but they are mostly good.

Clicker Age

After I got hooked (and hooked very well) on Tap Titans, I became wary of clickers. Simple mechanics opens up huge spaces for developers of such games to experiment with user motivation, as well as with meta-games.

Clicker Age is a great example of this, which, however, is not as far removed from the classic “cookies” as the creation of Game Hive.

Black Bears thought, “What if we add Clash of Clans to the classic clicker gameplay”? Said and done. In Clicker Age, the player is engaged not only in the construction of buildings that accelerate the production of local currency, but also buys troops and sends them to battle with other combat formations. The winner is waiting for someone else’s treasury.

It’s played fresh (it’s a pity only the fight is very primitive), it looks great.

In Russia, the game already has a lot of reviews. The grades are good.
