Ben 10 Slammers ($0.99)
What’s it about? Based in the world of cartoon show “Ben 10” comes Ben 10 Slammers, a collectible card game in which you’ll do battle with characters from the show.
What’s cool? You don’t necessarily have to be a fan of “Ben 10” to enjoy Ben 10 Slammers. The collectible card game pits two players against each other in a head-to-head battle in which each player employs three “slammer” characters in duels. Your goal is to defeat the other player’s slammers before he defeats yours by using a combination of attacks from your slammers and support cards you can play during each turn. Strategy in the game is based on which cards you play when, in order to take down your opponents before they beat your team. Over time, you’ll be able to upgrade your slammers to make them more powerful, and you can also face off against other players in the game’s multiplayer mode.
Who’s it for? Whether you’re into “Ben 10” or just like collectible card games, Ben 10 Slammers is a title you should try.
