Squad Busters Launches Big Hero Upgrade

• The latest Squad Busters Hero update is now available!
• This release puts Heroes center stage with squaddies playing support roles
• Execute powerful moves, enhance your squaddies, and experience more intense, faster-paced action

Squad Busters has seen fluctuating popularity. Though fundamentally an enjoyable and approachable MOBA-style game, it hasn't reached the heights Supercell likely anticipated. The new update might just convince skeptical players to give it another chance.

Dubbed as Supercell's most significant gameplay overhaul in 15 years, this update transforms Squad Busters' core mechanics. Gone are uniform squads - now you command distinct Heroes and supporting Squaddies with specialized roles.

Heroes act as your primary units with unique active and passive abilities, while Squaddies retain traditional unit functions with match-upgrade potential. Combat becomes more fluid as squads can now attack while moving, with stationary attacks offering increased speed.

This fundamental shift changes Squad Busters from a hybrid RTS-MOBA toward traditional MOBA gameplay. The focus now emphasizes Hero abilities ("power moves") with Squaddies providing tactical support.

While purists might disapprove of these sweeping changes, they address core engagement issues. Though initially appealing, the original formula lacked staying power - making Heroes the focal point creates more meaningful player decisions.
