GameZebo: Described as the first “Multiplayer Online Squad Strategy” game, Champs: Battlegrounds looks to take the careful planning of a strategy game, the real-time battles of an action game, and fuse it all together with heightened graphics and exhilarating gameplay. Quark Games has already been making a name for themselves by producing high-octane mobile gaming experiences, like we learned from their last title Valor: Trial by Sword; and everything we’ve seen so far from Champs: Battlegrounds looks to be keeping up with this new gaming tradition.
Touch Arcade - Quark Games, the development team behind Valor, is no stranger to fantasy-based strategy games. The company’s latest PvP game, Champs: Battlegrounds [Free], gives you a squad of knights, archers, fiendish ghouls and other Arthurian-style characters to do battle with on a chessboard-like playing field. The nearly real-time combat is the kind of fast action you want to enjoy on an iPad, but may just be a little too cramped for iPhone play.
Champs: Battlegrounds offers an interesting take on the MOBA genre, but its mismatched mechanics only serve to get in the way.
A fun premise that is held back by a lack of features.
