Base building is also an integral part of the gameplay, as players can customize their homelands fitting their factions themes. The game’s turn-based combat takes place on grid-like arenas comprised of multiple hexagons, much like Sid Meier's Civilization V’s hexagon boards. While these cameos are a fun diversion, your enjoyment of these characters will depend on how well the game’s humor resonates with you, as it’s one of the most divisive things about CountryBalls Heroes. Some cameos from real-life politicians and characters also appear here and there throughout the game. While most factions have pretty much the same pool of basic units, the way how they operate and which heroes they have at their disposal changes with each faction. Maybe that’s the reason why the game has over 90 unique units on its roster, and that’s not including its over 30 unique hero units.Īdditionally, CountryBalls Heroes features seven playable factions, each with a unique aesthetic and combat style. Perhaps it is because of their basic designs, but almost all of the CountryBalls are positively charming in their own ways. That is, as long as you can get over the tons of often dated meme humor. At first glance, it looks like if Civilization was played by random countryballs, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This game, however, promises to go a step beyond your everyday meme game by including competent turn-based strategy gameplay. This isn’t the first time these country balls have made it into the world of video games, either: games like Polandball: Not Safe for World and Polandball: Can Into Space have seen the countryballs as their protagonists. From a faction and strategy viewpoint, this works great for characterization purposes.ĬountryBalls Heroes arrives a bit late to the party, considering that the Polandball meme has been making the rounds around the internet since 2009. This includes poking fun at some of the most well-known stereotypes from each country, often reducing each ball to its most basic characteristics.
The basic gist of the Polandballs meme is to represent each country as a ball-shaped caricature of themselves.
