I am speaking from a position of disadvantage, having never played around with HeroClix myself. The addictive nature of my personality would soon see me up to my chest in tiny superhero and fantasy figures. My children would chew on them. My cats would chew on them. My wife would chew on them. Weāre a big chewing family.
Luckily there are only two sets of three Marvel HeroClix TabApp figures (I mention 12 in the video, ignore me), and I have all of these so collecting isnāt an issue.
Iāve seen HeroClix being played, and itās really nothing like this. Your figure stays in one spot while the screen scrolls, thugs and super-villains rising to meet the challenge of knocking Iceman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Wolverine down a peg. I donāt mention Cyclops, because in current comic continuity he is a giant ass.
Itās not a bad little game, though I wish twisting the baseāseems like a big dealāaffected the play in any way. Your toys are statues, lording over the iPad, begging to be vanquished.
