Supporting classes are often the underrated backbone of any game, which is why the new mobile game 3 Healers includes only supports in its unique premise.
Taking influential figureheads from the real world, 3 Healers puts you in the pixelated flesh of Jesus Christ, Bruno Gröning, and Rasputin as you traverse the world, visiting areas of tense strife. Instead of a classic PvE zone expected of an action game, you are instead tasked with applying non-violent healing to those in need before fleeing.
It’s a hit and run, if you consider the hitting part to be the tender hand of a healing friend.
A Spin on Hit and Run
In a sick-stricken 2D world overrun by patrolling adversaries, your goal as the figurehead is to weave around without getting caught and heal all allies before making your getaway. It sounds simple enough, but there’s a deep level of strategy to each level, forcing you to predict and evade the soldier’s line of sight.
Each figurehead has their own designed world based on their culturally significant areas of feats in life, with a gradual difficulty incline. Each new campaign begins with a few enemies and sick people, and builds to an overwhelming fleet of evildoers and the oppressed.
The end comes as a bit of a surprise, as a well known terminally ill character turns up – but to say anymore would be to ruin things.
Enriching and Educational
The influence of the protagonists runs deeper than newgrounds-flash-style comic visuals, with references made to their honourable ways in life. For example, Jesus Christ receives the aid of his disciples, whom he must gather up to gain help from. More historical references are made to the Bible, including the Gospel of John and its fable of how Jesus was persecuted.
Bruno Gröning’s tale depicts the struggle he faced with his healing being banned by the authorities, and how he navigated such a turbulent situation.
And finally, the tragic tale of Rasputin, who was murdered by the members of the Tsar’s family.
If you’re ready for two hours of compelling philosophical strategic gameplay, then check out 3 Healers via Google Play. Or, learn more about this genre-defining game through its official website.
