If we explore through the digital stores, we mainly find games that are either RPGs, Action titles, Adventure, etc., but we hardly come across good strategy games on the market. Chess is also a strategy game, but it is built to be a strategy game even before hitting the digital stores. Mobile games are much sought after by all players due to their unique integrity of various aspects. A strategy game can include cartoonish visuals while having various aspects of 'in-game strategy making' included.

Hero Bump is also a similar game with unique gameplay elements that will catch your eye. Conventional games generally occur in fairylands or other planets, but this game takes place inside a pinball cabinet! Yes, you read that right. This is what makes the game unique and fun to play. All the characters in the game are pinballs, and there are battles as well, which is quite interesting. You can say that the game has a slight RPG element added to it. Your heroes will vary depending on size, speed, weight, etc. They have unique abilities that can be used in battles. This game will give you a first-hand experience of the pinball universe right at your fingertips.
This article will review the game based on its graphics and visuals, controls, accessibility, and overall gameplay experience. It is very necessary to know if the game is worth your time or not before you start playing it. Many games are perfect in terms of almost all aspects, but some games are just terrible in terms of everything, so a review guide will help you identify whether the game is good or bad.
As we already know, the game is more focused on strategy making; hence a storyline is not quite necessary. But still, the game has a short and sweet introduction where Aeneator, a hero, is trying to defeat an opponent who has challenged him. Here the game will teach you how to fight in the form of a small tutorial. This tutorial is extremely helpful because the game has a unique gameplay style; hence understanding it properly right from the start is extremely necessary.
Overall the introduction to the game is very helpful, and players entering the game will learn a lot from the short intro.
Being a mobile game, the main controls are tap and play. You will also be required to use the 'drag' controls during battles, a category of the 'Click and play' mechanics. Generally, controls on mobile games are much easier than on other platforms; hence, everything in the game becomes quite easy to access. The game occurs in a pinball universe; hence in battles, you need to 'Throw' your hero towards the opponent to deal damage. You bounce off boundaries and hit enemies, and the damage is dealt automatically. All you need is to drag and throw your character towards the opponent. After all, the gameplay mechanics are that of pinball; hence the gameplay revolves around the same physics.
Hence we can say that the controls of the game are excellent. There is nothing to get baffled about, and you can easily adapt to the game within a short amount of time.
The graphics in the game are also unique for the genre. Generally, strategy games have firm graphics with very few things occurring on-screen, and everything that does happen is very limited. Hero Bump has a very cartoon-like animation, making it unique in terms of visuals. You don't have intense graphics similar to what can be seen in RPGs and action games, but rather it is quite subtle yet pleasant to look at. The overall GUI might remind you of a famous title known as 'Clash of Clans which is also from the same genre but with a different gameplay model.
So overall, the graphics are excellent with no optimization issues whatsoever, and players will enjoy the GUI as it is quite pleasant to look at and very easy to explore.
Every game has some drawbacks, and Hero Bump is no different. One of the major drawbacks in the game is related to the in-game economy. After every level up, the price of the unlockable chests increases, making it difficult to obtain them, and also, some main items can be obtained only from chests. Another drawback is an optimization issue of the game where it randomly crashes. Many players have already experienced it, and the developers are also working on it. Hence, an update from the developer's side is expected to fix these issues soon.
Apart from that, there are no other major issues in the game, and players need not worry as the gameplay experience will be excellent.
If you are looking for some uniqueness or a new game concept, you are at the ringtone place. Hero Bump occurs in a pinball universe that is quite different from other games out there. Also, character customization is a bonus, along with heroes having their own set of unique abilities that can be used in battles.
So from an overall perspective, the game is excellent, and players can enjoy themselves to the fullest and explore a whole new universe.
