After less than a year of Supercell’s latest iOS and Android title being out, Squad Busters has now had a big update, changing the gameplay and introducing new heroes.
The team says its the “most ambitious game update in Supercell’s 15-year history”, adding: “In response to player feedback around greater strategic depth and direct control over characters, the core gameplay of Squad Busters has been transformed through the introduction of Heroes and Squaddies.”
Check out the new trailer, below:
Johnathan Rowlands, Head of Squad Busters, said: “It’s been almost 12 months since Squad Busters launched globally and the team has learned a tonne thanks to the passionate feedback from our players. For example, many players have asked for more strategic decision-making before and during battles. We’re also starting to give players a deeper sense of the game’s lore and how that relates to the new Heroes and Squaddies.
Getting to this point has meant many months of experimentation, all the while running the live game. So, a big shout out to the team, who have shown immense commitment to evolve Squad Busters into an experience that remains accessible but now offers a deeper strategic layer.”
While the update ensures that mayhem and chaos remain at the forefront, players now lead their Squad to victory by carefully choosing a Hero, super-charged versions of previous Squad Busters characters including Barbarian King, Archer Queen, Mortis and Royale King. These Heroes are equipped with formidable Power moves, which are actively controlled by the player. But if a player’s Hero gets busted, the whole Squad is wiped out. Cue the importance of selecting the right supporting cast known as Squaddies, whose abilities are automatically unleashed as players collect and fuse them together during the heat of battle.
Mastering the game is about creating the optimal combo of Hero, Power moves and Squaddies and chasing loot across wild maps. So no matter whether you’re diving into the mayhem of Gem Hunt, climbing the Squad League, or teaming up with a friend in Duos, defend your Hero or get busted!
