Yesterday, or just a while in our time zone, Blizzard has announced a new update enabling you to play Hearthstone on iOS and Android phones. That's after quite some time the game was made available on iPad April last year and on Android tablets last December. But finally, the wait is over!
In case you haven't played it yet, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, is a fun, addictive virtual card game that may be similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering. If you're familiar with Warcraft and DotA, you'll be familiar with the characters of this game. It requires a lot of strategic skills, some luck and logic, but very entertaining and enjoyable at the same time. You have a deck that you can build and design depending on your fighting style -- be it defensive, aggressive, balanced, etc. With this deck, you can battle AI opponents, beat the solo adventures and play with other players around the world. This was the first game of this kind I have played and I was immediately hooked to it.
Hearthstone was originally played only on PC but was ported to iPads and Android tablets (6 inches above) last year. This made it more playable because you can carry it around unlike with PC's. But with this update, Blizzard has made the game more accessible as we can finally carry it inside our pockets and play with our decks almost everywhere we want to. I also tried the unofficial apk's and obb's out there so I can play it on my droid but it takes a lot of time to update it. Being it at the palms of our hands, the developers have to tweak the graphics in order for us to have a great experience even on small-screen phones.
Apart from the visual aspects of the game, some actions was modified for gaming comfort. For seasoned players, you can see new adjustments such as tap to zoom. The cards are now positioned on the right of your screen. To zoom, just tap it and the cards on your hand will be spread, bigger at the bottom, so you can read the descriptions easier.
For new players, there's a tutorial you can enjoy and before you know it, you're addicted to it more than clashing-with-other-kingdoms. If you wanna dare to try it, put your game face on and download the 600mb+ game file (which is worthy of every byte). There's no news yet for Windows Phone OS but for now, here's the Playstore and iOS links.
