So much fun! – Heroes of Dragon Age Review

This game is a delight. There are SO many heroes to collect, and if you're a big Dragon Age fan like me, it's incredibly heartwarming to see and fight with so many familiar faces. The big heroes are somewhat rare, so you receive a lot of "common" heroes like guards and generic bandits and darkspawn, but the game makes even THAT exciting by the consumption mechanic. You can "consume" other heroes to power up your favorite heroes, so everyone that you collect serves a purpose and your in-game money isn't put to waste. You don't actually control the combat in this game; you just choose the heroes that go in your party and their powerups and let them fight on the "missions" the game has set up for them. (The missions are basically reenactments of battles from the games and the games' lore.) This can be a bit frustrating, as the AI does not always make the best tactical choices, but it's a minor issue; the focus of this game is collecting and powering up, not combat tactics. The number of summonable heroes is incredible, and what's more, some of them are completely unexpected for a game like this. You can summon Josephine, for instance, who is really not a fighter. You can summon a nug! You can summon Ser Pounce-A-Lot! I do wish that the characters came with little descriptions, though. I haven't read all the side material and some heroes were unfamiliar. The game does have real-world money transactions, but they're not essential. Completing missions rewards you with in-game money and experience, and the energy required to complete missions regenerates over time, so you can fully enjoy this game without spending real-world money. My only major problem is that it frequently crashes. I thought it was just a problem with my device, but it seems that others are having the same issue. Overall, a very fun game. It's like Dragon Age trading cards, but even the weak, throwaway cards are useful. Looking forward to more updates!
