I've been replaying this a lot lately on my phone and I have to say this might be my favorite mobile game that is not a port of some kind. Its an incredibly nostalgic game for me. I played the crap out of this around the first year of its release when I was transitioning between high school and undergrad and I pretty much poured all of my mobile gaming time into this through undergrad until Mortal Kombat X Mobile released. On the face of it, Injustice Mobile is quite a simple game, where you are merely swiping and tapping to fight. There is a fair amount of complexity when it comes to gears and teambuilding though, and you want to make sure you have a team that is not only strong stat-wise but also has good synergy. Its still quite simplistic as games go but for a mobile game I still quite enjoy it. While the whole gameplay loop is pretty much grinding, I honestly enjoy the grind (as I do with grinding in general). When I'm on one of my 17 minute study breaks or walking on the treadmill or outside, Injustice makes for a nice diversion. It will never break into my gaming canon list, but honestly I kinda fuck with this game, and it brings me some sort of nostalgic joy as grad school continues to kick my ass.
