Backyard Heroes

The quiet yard turns into a kids-only clash, and every swing or squirt counts. In Backyard Heroes, you run a squad of three siblings who face off against neighborhood rivals in turn-based scraps. Stay in control of the opening move, pick who attacks, then watch the other side answer with their own hits. Barry steps in with a sword and shield combo, Jenny sprays foes with a water pistol, and Gregory points his flashlight to hurt enemies or restore health with healing rays. After each finished fight, you pick up new loot and weapons, then face another group whose size shifts with the chosen difficulty, while your three-hero lineup always stays the same.

How to play?

Pick an attack from the list on the bottom panel before your turn starts, then launch it to open the round. Watch how the opposing kids strike back in their phase, and adjust your next choice from the menu of available moves.
