As well as releasing the title for the iPhone and iPad, Activision also announced that Call of Duty: Heroes is now available for Windows 8 too, offering players a mobile-friendly version of the popular series with a 3D strategy genre twist. Players are tasked with constructing a base for themselves while launching attacks on enemies.

Highlighted features include:

  • Take control of and level up iconic heroes from the Call of Duty franchise. Each hero has their own progression system and unique Killstreaks.
  • Train and specialize your army using units directly from Call of Duty, such as Juggernauts, Dragonfires, and CLAWs.
  • Unleash Killstreaks such as the drone strike, UAV, care package, and chopper gunner to devastate opponents.
  • Build and upgrade your base into a fortress with sentry guns, Guardians, SAM turrets, howitzers, mines, and over 30 other upgradable structures.
  • Defend your base against attackers and go on the offensive in three unique modes: PvP, Campaign, and Survival
  • Team up with your friends to form alliances, donate troops, and dominate your enemies.

While the game itself is free, we must alert you all to the in-app purchases available.
