Of late, big movie production houses are coming out with games based on their movies. The latest in this regard is Thor – The Dark World.
Here we take the opportunity to highlight the top five such games. Though there are paid games in this genre as well, we have taken into account only those games which are available for free.
Thor – TDW
It is based on one of the most anticipated movies of 2013: Thor – The Dark World, which is set to be released this Friday. In the game, you don the role of Thor, the God of Thunder, to protect the universe from Malekith, the lord of the Dark Elves and ancient enemy of Asgard, who leads a revolt to destroy the Nine Worlds!
In the role playing game, you have to hack and slash your way through. Like in Samurai vs Zombies, here too you could summon help: seven types of Einherjar, valiant warriors of Asgard, will help you tactically bring down foes. There are ten types of powerful hammers and armors to be unlocked.
The game also has a Survival Arena where you could fight waves of Malekith’s armies. Thor is available for free but with in-app purchases.
