Heroes Reborn: Enigma


Challenge your special
puzzle-solving powers


Fans of Heroes, the sci-fi
show, must be delighted
about its return to US
television screens after fi ve years in
the form of the Heroes Reborn
mini-series. As a spin-off from that,
this game is a fi rst-person three-
dimensional puzzler that reminds us
of the classic Portal. You play the role
of Dahlia, using her special powers


  • including time shifting and
    telekinesis – to solve puzzles over 30
    stages. It all runs smoothly thanks to
    the use of the Unreal Engine 4.
    Following an introductory scene
    where you fi nd Dahlia imprisoned in a


secret government facility, a brief
tutorial guides you through the
controls: swiping to control the
camera and tapping the ground to
walk or jump to a position. Classic
puzzle devices are used, such as
dropping or throwing crates onto
pressure plates to raise platforms
and open doors. As you progress,
Dahlia discovers new abilities
including slowing down time (so you
can make it through closing doors)
and shifting time periods to collect
crates or negotiate otherwise quite
impassable hazards.

Battleheart
Legacy
£3.12/$4.99
While offering far more depth than the
original Battleheart, Legacy is an ideal
introduction to the RPG genre. Cute
cartoon graphics add to the appeal and
the real-time combat is fun.

Icewind Dale:
Enhanced Edition
£6.34/$9.99
This HD update of the classic PC game
provides a vast adventure. It’s a
combat-heavy RPG for hardcore fans
who should also check out the Enhanced
editions of Baldur’s Gate I and II.

Star Wars:
KOTOR £7.78/$9.99
The full Knights of the Old
Republic experience on mobile provides
an epic role-playing experience. As a
Jedi, you get to learn new Force powers
and choose your own path – will you
embrace the Dark Side?

Evoland £3.49/$4.99
This adventure borrows ideas
from classic RPG as it takes
you through the history of the genre
from monochrome to three-dimensional
graphics and from turn-based battles to
real-time boss fi ghts.
