Free-to-play games often look appealing, but it’s difficult to know at a glance whether the business model is insidious and fun ruining, or reasonable and worth pumping a few bucks into. With Freemium Field Test (http://www.macworld.com/column/freemium-field-test/), we’ll take a recent free-to-play iOS game, put it through its paces, and let you know if it’s really worth your time (and money).</p><p>
Marvel has its fingers in a lot of different iOS game genres, from fighting (http://www.macworld.com/article/2887273/freemium-field-test-marvel-contest-of-champions-is-a-surprisingly-fun-and-fantastic-looking-comic-b.html) and LEGO-bashing (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lego-marvel-super-heroes-universe/id737006024?mt=8) to pinball (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marvel-pinball/id595689324?mt=8), beat-‘em-up action (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marvel-future-fight/id955705796?mt=8), puzzle dueling (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marvel-puzzle-quest/id618349779?mt=8), and collectible card battling (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marvel-war-of-heroes/id536478373?mt=8). But <strong>Avengers Academy (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marvel-avengers-academy/id1061768547?mt=8)</strong> is something very different: A slow-paced, menu-driven city builder. Actually, you’ll build up a school campus, as the title suggests, but given the scale of the endeavor—including a sports stadium, jet landing pad, and clothing shop—it might as well be a metropolis.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3040398/ios/marvel-avengers-academy-is-a-comic-city-builder-with-character.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
