Introduction to Ben 10: Hero Time
If you’ve ever wanted to slip into Ben Tennyson’s shoes and take on galactic baddies on the fly, Hero Time is right up your alley. It’s a side-scrolling action runner that drops you into the heart of the action, constantly switching lanes to dodge obstacles, collect power-ups, and unleash the wild abilities of Ben’s alien forms. From the fiery blasts of Heatblast to the rock-solid punches of Fourarms, it’s all about timing your transformations just right to clear out waves of robots and rogue Plumbers.
The controls are pretty straightforward—swipe to change lanes, tap to attack, and hold for your ultimate alien move. Along the way you’ll pick up coins and special tokens that unlock new suits and boosts, which layer a bit of strategy onto the non-stop pace. There are boss encounters sprinkled in so you’re not just endlessly running, and each one lets you test your reflexes as you swap on the fly to whichever alien’s powers will dish out the most damage.
Visually, it captures the cartoon’s bold colors and dynamic character designs, so it feels like you’re in an episode of the show. Sound effects and snatches of theme music add that extra dash of nostalgia. Sure, there are in-app purchases if you want to speed up your progress, but if you’re in it for the thrill of transforming into a different alien every few seconds, it’s a fun, free-to-play spin on the Ben 10 universe.
