The latest update for Squad Busters has just been released, and it's all about the new Heroes! This update shifts the focus from the traditional squad-based gameplay to a more hero-centric experience, with squaddies now playing a supporting role. Dive into the action with your Heroes' power moves, upgrade your squaddies, and enjoy a faster, more intense gameplay experience.
Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity since its launch. While it remains a fun and accessible game with MOBA-like elements, it hasn't quite met the expectations set by Supercell. However, this latest update might just be the draw that brings skeptical players back for another round.
Described as the most ambitious update in Supercell's history in over 15 years, the new Squad Busters update fundamentally changes the game's mechanics. Your squad is now divided into powerful Heroes and supporting Squaddies. Heroes are the new focal point, each equipped with unique abilities and passives that make them the backbone of your strategy. Squaddies, on the other hand, retain their role as upgradable units during matches, and you can now attack without stopping your squad, though halting them will boost their attack speed.
This shift transforms Squad Busters from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA experience, emphasizing the use of Heroes and their 'power moves' alongside squaddies to support them. While some may miss the original design, the new focus on Heroes makes player actions more impactful and engaging.
