Runemals is one of the many Windows Phone games from Game Troopers that places you on the mystical Rune Island where you discover a strange necklace that was your Grandfather’s and it opens the door to a magical world. The adventure deals with training, collecting and battling an extensive collection of unique animals that possess certain elemental powers. The Xbox gaming title reminds me of Pokémon, but with a more involved battle sequence and more power-ups, abilities and team combinations.

Runemals comes to our attention as today’s AdDuplex HERO App. As you may recall the HERO Apps program is a promotional campaign for Windows Phone and Windows developers on the AdDuplex Network and partners AdDuplex with myAppFree, AppDeals, PluralSight and Windows Central to deliver a host of benefits to the top apps and games each month. Our role in the HERO App campaign is to offer a little exposure to these titles by sharing them with you, our readers.

Today, Runemals takes center stage.
