Straight-up, if you were a fan of Tecmo Bowl, Mutant League Football, or any other zany old-school football game, you’ve got to check out Football Heroes. It’s a throwback to those games of old, except updated with modern RPG, customization, and competitive trimmings. As you play, your players level up and you can acquire increasingly zanier moves. You can also name your own players, teams, and assign colors. It’s a small thing, but as you’ll see in our video, you can get some pretty hilarious results.
You might not get a sense of this in the video, but the feel of the game is fantastic. The movement is fluid and easy and the gestures make sense. Hilariously, this over-the-top football game is the best controlling football game we’ve ever played on iOS.
Football Heroes is due out at some point later this year. We’ll be keeping our eyes on it, for sure. Oh, and here’s that image of the new look (as mentioned in the vid):
It's a broken update on my iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Game crashes after launch
Weird... Works just fine on my iPhone 5.
What's annoying is the multiple Apple ID login prompts on every launch.
I haven't had that, luckily. Just works for me! (iPhone 5.)
There was a problem with the Paranormal table. It should work now.
Broken on my 4S.
It's amazing how much of a mixed bag the Zen Pinball tables are. Some of them are truly fantastic, while others are flashy and not that interesting to play. And, strangely, I think Sorcerer's Lair (the free one) is the best of the bunch that I've played.
I'm sure I'd disagree with you on which ones exactly but yeah, there are some really divisive ones in there. Usually it's the ones that seem to confine you to a playing area that's way, way too small for me, though (Tesla and Paranormal in particular). I agree that Sorceror's Lair is surprisingly good for "the free one", too. (Whereas Episode V - not really free but your first taste of the Star Wars standalone, so close enough - feels a little too scrappy and dull in places to me and nowhere near as fun as Boba Fett or Clone Wars.)
It's probably a good thing, I guess? Different tables to suit different playing styles? Shame you have to try them out for a while before you can decide whether or not they're really your thing - I'm guessing some people love it but I'd give Tesla back if I could...
In landscape, the game now fully fills a 16:9 TV or projector (although the slight Lightning-to-HDMI lag took a little getting used to). I like playing pinball titles in perspective (rather than straight down) and landscape is actually a better fit in that case.
Wasn't it also not retina? I feel like i've played in the last couple months and it looked pretty rough on a new model phone
I hate how they did not include bug fixes for paranormal and bobba fett table.
