The Hero HD Brings Our Unnamed Superhero To The iPad
September 9, 2010
Don't fret comic superhero fans, our super-human savior has found the time to make his way to our iPads in The Hero HD.
The Hero HD is a comic book-style game where you control an unnamed superhero that is called back into action. Save city residents from fires, asteroids, swarms of insects, catch falling infants, and so much more. In your attempts to save city residents, thwart enemies, and destroy destructive objects on your way to confront the deranged Dr. Hubbub, you’ll need to maintain the satisfaction of the civilians. The fame meter tells you how much the citizens are satisfied with your actions. If you lose all of your fame, that’s it for our spandex wearing savior.
Exclusive to The Hero HD is a new single finger flight control, in addition to the option of a virtual D-pad or accelerometer control already available in The Hero - 2nd Edition for iPhone and iPod touch.
