The Hero is a small game which focuses on a superhero who starts his career in saving the world one city at a time. The game is controlled by a single onscreen joystick for movement and digital buttons used to activate various powers unlocked during the career. The game starts with our hero deployed to a small city trying to stop criminals and knock bombs of nearby buildings.

The goal of the game is to destroy all threats while maintaining favor with the local citizens. This is done by not destroying things accidentally and giving as many citizens high fives as possible. All of this must be done while fighting crime. As players progress through the game, new powers and enemies will be introduced and it becomes harder to hold favor with the local citizens. The game itself has a beautiful art style. Cities and people look great and really give the game a professional feel. The gameplay is silky smooth as well. Though it is sometimes hard to turn the hero, the controls made the game all the more fun to play.

Overall, the app is a very fun experience to play through. There are in-game achievements to be found and there is a survival mode to beat once the campaign is finished. The game can start to feel pretty repetitive, but this could easily be fixed with consistent updates bringing new content. Check it out.
