I’m really excited that we are launching Tactical Heroes worldwide on the iOS App Store tomorrow after close to 2 years of hard work. The game has been available in what we call soft launch in selected countries for about 4 months now and we have received great feedback from over 36.000 players that have helped us to fine tune it for this big launch.

We have had great reviews from the players about the game so far, as you can see its average rating is 4,4/5 from over 140 reviews in the past 30 days.

Still you never know until you have fully launched so fingers and toes crossed. You can find the new launch trailer below as well as a link to the full press release. You can also install the game for free from this link.

If you like strategy games and in particular XCOM or are looking for a a game for your iPad that gives you a really interesting challenge, then you will like Tactical Heroes and I would be super thankful if you could try it and let me know what you think either here in the comments or on twitter @alexisbonte

Acens.tv just uploaded an interview that is a few weeks old, where I talk about eRepublik, social games, angry birds, having a company in Ireland and Apple.

Main points are:
– eRepublik going well, social games: 60% of social games players are women (not the case for eRepublik).
– Social games and Facebook: If you do social games make sure you are on Facebook but be careful not to have your business depend to much on one company.
– Angry birds, 45k to MVP, 75 million $ annual turnover (rumored), not bad. Practice does make perfect (Rovio developed tens of games before this one)
– Who would have said 10 or even 5 years ago that Apple would lead the way in mobile gaming!
