Bot Fight? Nope

Disney's Big Hero 6 mobile tie-in game is a bot-collecting match-3 puzzler

At some point in time, film tie-in games on mobile won't consist of only endless runners and match-3 games. That time is not now.

Disney has released Big Hero 6 Bot Fight which isn't, as the title may suggest, a fighting game. No, don't be misled, this is a match-3 puzzle game as straight as they come.

You match Power Cells in a grid, connecting colours to trigger attacks, and combos for bigger ones. Simple as that.

But you can also collect hundreds of bots, level them up, and evolve them with rare parts. You also have to select a team from your bots to fight for you.

It's just a shame that the actual fighting, well, isn't fighting at all.

Still, there's nothing wrong with match-3 games. It's just that they're so common, and Disney really lays the word "fight" on thick here.

If you're wondering, the film that this game is tied in with, Big Hero 6, hits the cinema on November 7th.

You can download Big Hero 6 Bot Fight for free on the App Store [download], Google Play [download], and the Windows Phone Store [download].

The game has optional IAPs.
