User:DavidAnstiss/Hero City (facebook game)

Hero City is a city and Super-hero simulation social network game developed by Paprika Lab Inc. in 2009. Gameplay involves creating the users own city and inhabiting it with various recruited heroes.

It is available as an Adobe Flash application via the social-networking website Facebook. The game is a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play but players have the option of purchasing premium content. Including extra heroes, energy, weopans etc.

Hero City currently has 767,405 monthly active users and 89,571 daily active users.

Gameplay
Hero City combines city-building gameplay and adds a layer of superhero activity on top. Players build and upgrade structures to improve their cities and then collect superheroes to come live in their city. The more superheroes means more advantages when undertaking the game’s quests, and will also give the players the upper hand in player-vs-player gameplay. See Duel.
