After quitting the game due to the massively disruptive introduction of “mods”, which allowed you to finely tune the stats of your characters, I returned to the game 9 months later to find that the developers had reduced the game destroying effects they had initially caused. What started out as a curiosity ended up being quite an addictive hobby, and the number of features and game modes (and new characters to unlock!) grew quickly.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is essentially a jazzed up version of Top Trumps where you collect characters, upgrade them, and use them to earn rewards. Back in 2015, during the boring period between Christmas and New Year, I decided to try out a Star Wars mobile game.
