What is Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes?
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes is a gaming app that allows players to join the light or dark side in an effort to master the galaxy.
This app can be downloaded from the App Store and the Google Play Store. It does feature in-app purchases and is rated for users 10 years of age and older.
The game involves role-playing and strategic elements such as organizing your team of heroes (or villains) and using weapons and accessories to win in turn-based battles.
Each level introduces a new boss to defeat, and the levels span popular settings from the Star Wars film franchise. In-app purchases range in price from $0.99- $99.99 for crystals which act as in-app currency.
This app is targeted to all Star Wars fans, young and old. There are other Star Wars apps out there, such as Angry Birds Star Wars and Star Wars: Commander.
This is a game that is enjoyed by people of all ages, and it has an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. The most common complaint is that the game requires players to put in some extra work and playing time if they don’t want to spend actual money on progressing in the game. The app makes regular updates and has over 10 million installs. It comes from Electronic Arts, an immensely popular game development studio.
Is Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes safe for my kids?
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is safe for kids, but parents should be aware of the E10 rating. If they’re worried about cartoon violence, they should check out the game before allowing their kids to play it.
That being said, it’s on par with other popular kids games such as Fornite and War Robots. The developers were probably thinking of gamers young and old when making this game, and there is in fact a diverse game profile for this app.
A big thing to point out is that the game requires a fair bit of “grinding,” or playing the same levels over and over again to earn points for new items and characters. If players want to avoid this task, they need to pay real money, and could end up spending hundreds of dollars are recently-released characters and accessories. It’s important for parents to set some ground rules before letting their children play any games that offer in-app purchases, such as this one.
That being said, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is an Editor’s Choice and the #2 top-grossing role-playing game app. It is praised for staying true to the Star Wars franchise and providing entertaining gameplay.
As with many other gaming apps, it can be addictive, so parents should place limits on screen time for children. The app asked for age verification on a sliding scale of 0 to 100, but doesn’t deny gamer access to those younger than 10. Kids can try similar non-Star Wars apps such as Disney Heroes: Battle Mode and Clash Royale.
