Hearthstone Is Our iOS Game Of The Week [Editor’s Pick]

Hearthstone splash screen

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft came out on iPad this week, and I can’t seem to stop playing it. The amazingly well-balanced digital collectible card battling game has got its hooks in me and won’t let up.

This is the same game as the one that came out on Mac and PC last month, but in an easy to transport and play iPad version. The touch controls are well suited to the gameplay, and you’ll find quite a bit of depth once you figure out the basic card game itself.

I spent a little time recording this free-to-play game and chatting about it in the video below.

Hearthstone is based visually and sonically on Blizzard’s World of Warcraft franchise, and every sprite shows the love and attention spent on creating this digital card game.

It’s also a ton of fun to play. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to head back into the tavern and try and beat that druid again.

If you want even more details on the game and how it works, head on over to our review right here.
