‘The Hero’ Lands in App Store

Chillingo’s The Hero launched into the App Store on Monday. We briefly previewed the game back in February.

The game is beautifully illustrated and animated super hero game. You control your hero by using a virtual joystick in the bottom right corner, and can speed up by mashing the on-screen button on the bottom right corner. The controls work well enough, although making precise movements can be challenging as you can’t just stop in mid-air and turn around, your hero has to go through his whole turning around animation before you can go the other way.

Here’s our hands on video:

First impressions from our forums seem positive, and we’ll take a closer look in the near future.
