Description.

Build an epic roster of your favorite DC characters and get yourself ready for battle in the ’Injustice: Gods among Us’ android version from Nether Realm Studios. Well, it isn’t only a fighting game featuring characters from DC; it is also a superhero themed eyesight test. This fast paced, free-to-play collectible card game allows one to build their roster of playable moves, characters and powers in a complete and well designed version of the actual console game. It is mainly a strategy and not a full fight game experience to the slightest. Though, if you do not mind lots of tapping, beating up a pack of dudes on the go will be pretty fun.

Game play.

While ’Injustice: Gods among Us is technically a fighting game, the game features auto-movement which makes it a ��Rock-Em-Sock-Em-Robots’ simulator — oh, the card elements! As such, one unlocks three heroes in the very beginning (by playing cards). One has the capability of earning, or purchasing more just as this game progresses. All characters have unique sets of moves, supers and stat, which make experimentation extremely fun. Well, The awful “energy” mechanic which limits plays is found in here, but thankfully, all individual characters have different energy ratings, so you don’t necessarily have to stop play or pay for energy most of the time like in other games.

There’s an addictive feel to this game. Watching DC heroes and villains as they beat each other with a decent visual quality comes with a certain allure to it. As one progresses, they fight their way through different arenas against the other teams, and occasionally fight boss characters, leveling up the cards in the way.

Controls.

Use touch screen mechanics to battle enemies in 3-on-3 combat. Swipe and tap to accomplish various combos and build power to pull special attacks and super-moves. Mostly Gods among Us iOS is a button-mashing affair, tasking one with tapping to make basic combo moves, swiping for the heavy hits, and completing different maneuvers to power up super abilities. Blocking is achieved by holding down 2 fingers on your screen, with movement being handled automatically.
Massive roster.
Collect and play your favorite DC Comics characters such as Batman, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Harley Quinn, Night wing, Superman, green lantern, Wonder Woman, the flash and many more. With every alternate version of the iconic characters one gets a new set of fights and moves.
