10.0
Hero Academy is a bit of chess, Words With Friends, and fantasy combat all mixed together.

7.0
Hero Academy is light on strategy, but provides smooth pick-up-and-play fun

6.0
Hero Academy's bright and cheery appearance masks its otherwise brutal war-like gameplay, though the lack of competitive features can make its online-only play feel otherwise devoid of achievement.

7.0
Pros: Wonderful graphics. Turn-based gameplay is exceptional. Multiplayer battles are lots of fun. Cons: No single-player campaign. Training screens barely cut it as a training mode. Games don't auto-refresh while you're in them.

7.0
Virtual ratings prevent games with a small number of positive reviews from dominating the top of our rankings. See our FAQ.
