Hearthstone Available on Phones

Last week, I received an email from Blizzard Entertainment stating that Hearthstone is now available on phones.

I've played the game on my PC in the past, and I think it's a nice way to take a break from other "more time consuming" games. I launched the app right after installing it (1.44GB), and it quickly asked for my battle.net account information.

The loading time is fairly decent and the animations are smooth. I've also installed the app on my Kindle Fire, and I must say it runs way smoother on my S5 than on the tablet.

Most of the times, these type of applications are battery hogs and tend to completely drain them in just a matter of minutes. Hearthsone doesn't. I played for at least one hour against the AI and other people online, and it consumed less than 10% of my battery.

I'm not a big fan of the game and I don't play it very often, but I always find these type of "PC to Mobile" transitions very interesting. This is a great game to play while you wait for people. I, for example, play it while my wife is putting her make up on, painting her nails, and doing all those girly things girls do when they get ready to go out.

Shinnies!

I suggest playing against the AI on your phone as the matches don't take long, and sticking to online multiplayer to the PC. The main reason for this is because I personally tend to move to other things in my life and go back to my phone every once in a while and completely forget I was in the middle of a match.

Making Hearthsone - Heroes of Warcraft available on mobile phones is a great path for the game to take! The game is available on the App Store, Google Play, and through Amazon Apps.
