If you’re an RPG or fighting game kind of gamer and you haven’t checked out Square Enix’s Heavenstrike Rivals, then you better move your behind along and try it out. The massive PVP fighting game has just been updated and pushed to version 3.0, and the update brings a slew of new features and bug fixes.
If you’re not familiar with the game, we’ve introduced Heavenstrike Rivals here before. But in a capsule, this is an RPG in the mold of Final Fantasy Tactics (who remembers this classic?). The game features both single-player and multiplayer content. The single-player content is made up of the RPG campaign, while the multiplayer functionality is all about the online PVP.
The new features in this version include new visuals and sound effects, streamlined battle screen UI (where the Auto button has been moved and fast-forward lasts beyond the end of a turn), the capability to obtain the Prison Warden as a bonus unit, easier access to Recruitment from the Squad screen, a new turn counter in PVP battles, potential Mage and Gunner secondary damage is highlighted in a clearer manner, among other things.
The fixes include improved connectivity and fixes to network issues, improved error handling and restoration for making in-app purchases, fixed occasional hangs/crashes related to Facebook login, and the developers also addressed several instability issues seen when transitioning between certain screens. Let’s hope this version makes the game a whole lot more stable.
