Cute, casual turn-based adventure Swap Heroes is out on iOS right now.

I told you about this little game last week after developer Chris Savory got in touch to tell us about it, if you remember.

It involves fighting through hordes of enemies using a party of four characters.

To take a turn, you have to swap the position of two of your characters. Upon doing so, the three characters at the front of your party will attack.

The one remaining at the back will, instead of attacking, use their skill. This skill could be to heal the party or to extract health points from your enemies - it depends on what class they are.

The classes range from Vampire to Guardian, from Ranger to Priest. They're all depicted with lovely pixel art created by Scribblenauts artist Tori Sang.

The gold you earn from battles can be spent on upgrading your characters in between fights.

You can purchase Swap Heroes at half-price for a limited time at 69p / 99c. It will go up to £1.49 / $1.99 once that time is up.
