Palm Heroes is a turn-based RPG with a fantasy/strategy twist. Anyone that ever played Heroes of Might & Magic back in the day (like me) will find this game very familiar, because it’s made in that old-school style. Basically, you play as one of six possible characters, a Knight, Wizard, Orc, Princess, Warlock, or Necromancer. You build your kingdom and discover new places, searching out new skills and magic powers. As your kingdom expands, your hero gains power and skill.

This game thrusts you back into that old-school world of HoMM, and anyone with a hankering for a taste of fantasy, epic battles, and a little adventure, this is the game for you. At $5.99 it’s a little pricey for an iPhone game, but well worth it for the replay value presented in the bevy of additional characters, and the size of the map. The only issue I had with this game was that it seemed to lock-up my iPhone once. I don’t know if that was just my iPhone being chintzy or what, but it only happened one time. The simple, and challenging gameplay, coupled with easy to master controls make this game a big hit in my book.
