On November 10, developer zup and publisher Funday Games released Booster Pack Heroes simultaneously on Steam, the App Store, and Google Play. The incremental strategy game combines card collecting with tower defense: players open booster packs, obtain heroes and spells, and then use them to fight off waves of monsters.
Surviving awards mastery points that can be spent on upgrading heroes and spells. Thanks to improvements, each subsequent run allows players to hold out longer, and defeating a chapter boss unlocks access to new booster packs and challenges.
At the time of publication, Booster Pack Heroes has 91% positive reviews on Steam based on 298 reviews. Until November 24, the game is available there at a 30% discount — for 311 rubles instead of 445, while in the Russian App Store it costs 310 rubles. At the same time, despite the random reward mechanics, the game features no conventional microtransactions: players can only purchase a developer supporter pack featuring a “golden” tower skin and a crown for the squire.
