With the pandemic keeping most of us isolated to a couple of walls and a roof many businesses have seen a surprising boon. One being the gaming industry, from PCs to mobiles people everywhere are discovering stories, competition and camaraderie through gaming. As a lifetime console player I myself have been pushed to the boundaries of familiarity and have been branching out towards mobile titles. Disney Sorcerers Arena was my first expedition into mobile gaming, what a pleasant experience it has been thus far warranting more time and respect than I thought was possible for a game you play on your phone.

Disney Sorcerer’s Arena allows you to take your most beloved Disney icons and square them off in an intense RPG turn based strategy game. Refreshingly difficult especially after advancing into the latter stages, players will have to perfect their combat and play style if they hope to complete the rich storyline. Multiple campaigns allows players the option to play as both a hero and villain, a multitude of rotating event campaigns ensures constant free content. Without a doubt a grind is to be expected when advancing characters through the star tiered system, luckily the debs have chalked the game full of XP and character unlock events to speed up the process while expanding your hero/villain collection. With pvp options the battles take place real time and you can expect an even greater challenge squaring off against real opponents. 

Far from being a repetitive button masher the campaign allows you to keep your character  in the later stages with level advancement, equipping/upgrading gear that is unlocked via missions. In Terms of re-play ability, ad intrusion and difficulty you have a mobile game with 100’s of hours of free story/event content the standard advert placement for a mobile game and scaling system that makes advancing a continuous challenge. Nothing can be said is put in place preventing you from being a top level player in terms of pay to play. On the other hand if you have the cash to spare the packs available to purchase allow you to unlock more characters, expand slots and gain the items needed for improving equipable gear.

I would say the title is worth the download and a popular one at that with millions of downloads on the Google play store alone. Initially I thought it would be more of a Disney gimmick that wouldn’t last a day in my phone’s storage space, how wrong I was. After a week still downloaded and has somehow wormed its way into a part of my routine, wake up, autoplay a few campaign levels, eat lunch and open my free chests, complete my daily quests. I’ve become a part of the Disney machine that missed me as a child, if it means I keep seeing great content and continued game support like this then I’m fine with it.

A score of ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars means I would definitely recommend to a friend maybe even a vaguely known acquaintance. If you have had a Chance to play Disney Arena please leave your experience in the comments section below albeit good or bad we’d love to hear about it.
