The new Hero update for Squad Busters is now live, bringing a fresh twist to the game. This update highlights Heroes as the central figures, with squaddies playing a supportive role. Dive into the action with your Heroes' power moves, upgrade your squaddies, and enjoy faster, more intense gameplay.

Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity over time. Despite its core fun and accessibility as a MOBA-like game, it hasn't fully met the expectations set by Supercell. However, this latest update might just reignite interest among skeptical players, encouraging them to give Squad Busters another chance.

Described as Supercell's most ambitious update in over 15 years, the new release fundamentally alters Squad Busters' gameplay. No longer are your squads just made up of units; now, they are divided into powerful Heroes and supporting Squaddies. Heroes serve as the core of your strategy, equipped with their own unique abilities and passives. Squaddies, on the other hand, retain their traditional roles but can now be upgraded during matches. Additionally, you can keep your squad moving while attacking, with squaddies attacking faster when you do stop to fight.

This update essentially transforms the core of Squad Busters, making your squad more resilient and shifting the focus from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA style. It's all about leveraging your Heroes and their 'power moves' with your squaddies backing them up.

While some might miss the original design, the shift towards Heroes makes player decisions more impactful and engaging. Although Squad Busters initially captured my interest, it didn't hold my attention for long. This update, with its focus on Heroes, could change that by making gameplay more meaningful.
