Solo Hero

About Solo Hero Android Game

How long can you survive in a crowd of alien zombies and other assorted nasties? Can you become a hero by saving the stranded civilians? Anyone can apply to be a Solo Hero; everyone has the potential but the odds are always against you.

Solo Hero is a top-down arcade shooter game with a dash of stategy thrown in for good measure. It's easy to pick up and play but difficult to put down and has limitless variation. Rack up a big score to get your name etched in the Hall of Heroes and then challenge your family and friends to beat it. It's the only way to prove yourself as the undisputed local hero. The level you manage to reach and the duration of your survival are also shown on the high-score table for extra bragging rights. Don't get complacent though; there are still medals to be earned for exceptional play. First, the "Saviour" medal is awarded for saving 10 or more stranded civilians. Second, the "Excelsior" medal is given to those brave enough to start in "Expert" mode. Finally, the "Warrior" medal is given to those who deliver a coup de grace on 5 or more rivals. Medals are shown next to your name in the Hall of Heroes.

Early game play lets you get used to the controls but the difficulty ramps up quickly. As you progress through the eight featured levels new elements are introduced which all combine and build to a final frenzy of action where even the most hardened gamer will be surviving second-by-second on reflexes alone.

Solo Hero departs from the classic two-joystick aracade action and instead uses a simple point-to-command interface reminiscent of Reat-Time Strategy (RTS) games to produce a different game dynamic. This creates a unique gameplay experience within the genre; opening it up to a wider audience while still supplying aficionados with a new and interesting challenge to enjoy.

Players must balance their survival against trying to save as many civilians as possible. The civilians can be herded and will also gather for you; but they can behave temperamentally so care must be taken to keep them follwing you. To maximise your rescue bonuses you must have as many followers as possible at the end of each level. Followers will drain your health to recuperate theirs but will automatically gather extra health and heal you if they are at maximum health and you are not. Try to keep them healthy to increase your end-of-level bonus. Civilians, whether they are your followers or not, are vunerable to your actions as well as the various marauding nasties. So be careful who gets hit in the crossfire; and that goes for you too!

The cartoon style and emphasis on fun play ensures suitability for most audiences though don't be fooled into thinking it won't raise your pulse rate. Imagine you've just set off a chain reaction of explosions in the only area free of nasties! or perhaps you're running straight for the main horde of alien zombies only to realise you've run out of ammo! or... well, we're sure you've got the picture.
