It’s the end of an era, true believers.
Back in 2012, when Facebook gaming was still a sizable force in the industry, Playdom (later purchased by Disney) released what was easily the best free-to-play social RPG of its time. Avengers Alliance was a game that let players build their own team of heroes, follow a sizable storyline, and offered enough depth that you really had to think about the characters you were assembling and the moves that you’d make each round.
The game lasted longer than most, getting a mobile port in 2013, a quickly aborted tactical spin-off in 2014, and a mobile-exclusive sequel earlier this year. Now, all of that is coming to an end.
