The story of the game is unclear as you are plunged into a world with weapon wielding cyborg zombies, hellish minions and man eating slugs. The player must navigate their way from the start to a door at the end of the level. The game is fast paced and the restart is near instantaneous, which is very similar to League of Evil.

Enemies die is a splash of coins which can be collected to upgrade your weapons and costumes. It is here where the fun begins. Using the default player and the simple pistol the game is hard and unsatisfying but once you have traded up to an AK47 wielding Robocop it all becomes a lot more fun. There are a tonne of characters to choose from all more silly than the last; Rambo, Abe Lincoln, Neo, Clown, Cheerleader, they are all here. Each character has their own merits such as increased speed or agility but the only trait that seems to have any major difference is the damage as this dictates how many hits you can take before exploding into a cloud of pixels. Weapons range from standard pistols, shotguns and rifles to more elaborate missile launchers and futuristic pulse rifles. Whilst the shotgun feels different to the chain gun I found myself using the automatic weapons more due to their quicker fire rate.

You can play to earn coins or buy coin packs to upgrade quicker but it never feels forced or necessary to buy more.futuristic pulse rifles. Whilst the shotgun feels different to the chain gun I found myself using the automatic weapons more due to their quicker fire rate.

The controls use a simple left and right button along with a shoot and jump. The controls are responsive allowing you to navigate many levels in one sitting.

The levels take you from grimey city streets to green forests and the level design is fantastic as each simple level has multiple routes to the exit which encourages some re-playability. At the end of each level is a boss battle that is never too taxing but might take two or three times to beat. Sadly, my game was cut short on the last level as on of the lifts seem to be missing but hopefully a reboot will sort this.

Overall, random Heroes is a fun platform shooter that harks back to the olden days of gaming when CJ’s elephant antics was fun and James Pond was a AAA title. Whilst the lack of any real narrative is a shame, the customization of your player and weapon will keep you playing. The game can be beat in 3-4 hours so if you have some time and just want a throw a way game, this is a lot of fun!

This game is one of the best android games I have played in a long time. It’s as simple as anyone could ask for and it’s addictive like you would never believe. I mean what’s not to love about a baseball throwing granny… Oh did I mention she is wearing roller skates.

Okay then let’s get into what this game is about. You play Granny Smith an OAP on roller skates and the objective is to get to the end of each level collecting as many coins as possible and all the apples before this little kid with a dodgy Lone Ranger mask. To do this you have two button control, The left thumb is to whip your cane so as to move quicker and grab onto any over head zip lines (When on zip line hold button down or you will fall), The right thumb is to jump cracks, cars, boxes and do 720 mid air spins while breaking through some glass windows and trying to land back on your skates…. Because if you don’t you lose your footing, fall over and the little kid catches up. Sounds simple enough right. After progressing through some of the levels you unlock up to three worlds, in the second of which you can start to collect baseballs that you can throw ahead of you to break glass making things slightly easier for yourself.
Upon collecting the apples and coins you finish the level and rewarded with gold coins and a shiny gold medal then you are brought back to a Super Mario Bros 1 type world map. Actually this little game is basically a Mario game but instead of a plumber you are a granny, it’s your simple 2d side scroller where completing the last level unlocks the next and as you unlock the worlds you can earn coins to unlock new playable characters like Scruffy the dog and Stanley the old man but the same rules apply.

I honestly think the good people at Mediocre have made a superb well rounded addictive frustrating game. I especially like how when you complete the level the replay is played back in an old vintage styleee for your enjoyment and the jazz music on the main menu is just a touch of genius. My eldest daughter loved this game and I couldn’t put it down. At 79p on Android I would seriously recommend this game to anyone.
