You’ve probably already heard Robot Entertainment’s sweet strategy game Hero Academy is out on Steam. Its priced a bit weird, but overall its still the same awesome game (with a TF2 team!) as on iOS.

I’ve been planning on writing some newbie strategies for it, but haven’t had time yet. In the meantime, I found an excellent beginner’s guide you should check out on It’s Dangerous to Go Alone. Its got some great knowledge – like the splash damage patterns of the Gunner/Heavy attacks and more. Definitely worth your time.

Hero Academy – Addictive Async iOS Multiplayer February 24, 2012 Posted by Jeremy Janzen at 6:00 pm No Responses »

I’m quickly discovering that asynchronous multiplayer games fit iOS perfectly. Case in point: Hero Academy by Robot Entertainment. I love Robot’s Orc’s Must Die on PC, and so I went into this game expecting good things and wasn’t disappointed. This isn’t a proper review, just a heads-up that this game is definitely worth your time!

The game is free and ad-supported. The ads are really intrusive and if you like the game you’ll surely pay to remove them. The ads are removed when you buy a premium ‘team’ via IAP. Currently there are only the Dark Elves available for purchase (I got them for 99c, but I believe that was a sale price). So for a single price you remove the ads and get a new team with new powers to play with.
