The latest update for Squad Busters is here, and it's a game-changer! With the introduction of new Heroes, the gameplay has shifted dramatically, focusing on these powerful characters while squaddies play a supportive role. Engage in faster, more intense gameplay by utilizing your Heroes' power moves and upgrading your squaddies on the fly.

Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity since its release. Although it remains a fun and accessible MOBA-like title, it has not fully met the expectations set by Supercell. However, this latest update, hailed as the most ambitious in Supercell's 15-year history, might just bring skeptical players back into the fold.

The update fundamentally alters Squad Busters' gameplay mechanics. Your squad is now divided into Heroes and Squaddies. Heroes are the core of your strategy, each equipped with unique abilities and passives. Squaddies, reminiscent of the original units, can be upgraded during matches to bolster your team's strength. Moreover, your squad can now attack without stopping, although halting them will boost their attack speed.

This shift transforms Squad Busters from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA experience. The emphasis on Heroes and their 'power moves' alongside supportive squaddies makes every player action more impactful and engaging.

While some might feel this change diverges from the original essence of Squad Busters, the new direction adds significant depth to the gameplay. Personally, although I enjoyed the initial version, I found myself not returning to it frequently. The focus on Heroes, however, makes the game more compelling and could reignite interest among players.
