Best new games of the week: Transformers: Battle Tactics and Midnight Star
Every week, our staff will handpick a game from the past two weeks that we believe is a must-have download for your iPhone or iPad. These games will always be from a wide variety of genres, but they are chosen because our own staff members love it and can’t put it down. So here are this week’s picks! Enjoy, and happy gaming!
Transformers: Battle Tactics
Come up with the best strategies to take down your foes in our Game of the Week!
Are you a huge fan of Transformers? Then you’ll love our Game of the Week, which is Transformers: Battle Tactics rom Hasbro and DeNA.
However, unlike other Transformers games, Battle Tactics is a turn-based tactical game that is inspired by the new Combiner Wars story in the Transformers Generations Universe comics. The game comes with a single player campaign mode as well as a multiplayer PvP mode. You can even gather up your friends to form leagues and take out opposing forces.
The game has a distinctive and charming visual art style, where both the Autobots and Decepticons appear in a “chibi” style. Despite this, the game is action-packed and you’ll need to muster up your best strategies for victory. Battle Tactics also has over 75 characters to choose from for your four-robot team, and you can choose from Autobots or Decepticons. If you’re familiar with the Transformers universe, you’ll see iconic faces like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and many more. Each character can level up and be linked together for powerful attacks.
We are fans of the Transformers series here at AppAdvice, so we have been getting a kick out of Transformers: Battle Tactics. If you’re a fan of the Transformers, or just enjoy a good turn-based tactical game, then make sure to check this one out today. You can find Transformers: Battle Tactics on the App Store as a universal download for free.
