Heroes Reborn: Enigma

Heroes Reborn: Enigma is a first-person adventure logic game for AND and iOS, based on the NBC’s science fiction TV series entitled Heroes Reborn. The series that debuted in the USA on 24 September, 2015, is a continuation of the TV series that aired in years 2006-2010. The game was developed by Phosphor Games, which is known for such productions as Nether, an action survival title, and Dark Meadow: The Pact for mobile platforms.

Plot

The game’s plot was writer by two writers who work on the Heroes Reborn TV series, while the overall development process was overseen by the father of the franchise – Tim Kring (who, at the same time, is head of the title’s publisher, Imperative Entertainment). The story told in the production is a kind of a prequel to the events shown in the TV series and is plot-wise connected to Heroes Reborn: Gemini which was simultaneously released for PC and home consoles. In all of these games, we follow one of two sisters, and the events presented on the screen connect with one another, thus complementing and explaining storylines undeveloped in the film.

In Heroes Reborn: Enigma, we assume the role of a 14-year-old girl named Dahlia who, having discovered her supernatural power, is abducted and imprisoned in a secret government research facility called The Quarry. The game’s goal is to help the protagonist escape the place. The abilities that she hasn’t quite yet discovered will prove useful in this task.

Mechanics

In Heroes Reborn: Enigma for AND and iOS, we observe the events from the eyes of the protagonist, just like in Heroes Reborn: Gemini. Given the specifics of mobile platforms, the game doesn’t feature dynamic action sequences, which were characteristic of the above production, and puts emphasis on logic puzzles. While playing, we will have to face various challenges that require us to have sharp sight, manipulate objects in the environment, and, naturally, use the special abilities of the heroine. In this regard, the title somewhat resembles the cult Portal series.

Technical aspects

Heroes Reborn: Gemini is powered by Unreal Engine 4 that guarantees high-quality visual experiences. Graphics-wise, Phosphor Games’ production distinguishes itself from among similar mobile titles.
