A free game with in-app purchases, and a spin-off to the original video game, Batman Arkham Origins pits you up against some of Gotham City’s most notorious villains – including Bane, Electrocutioner, Black Mask and Copperhead. The city is separated into four districts which the player will gradually unlock throughout the game. The game is a combative, arcade-style fighting game in which the player will swipe/tap the screen to punch and attack as well as defend and block. Variate between the standard ‘assault’ stance, and the ‘guarded’ stance to fight more effectively. Any beginner should be able to pick up these moves up fairly easily and enjoy this one.
