Review: Hellemental for the iPhone/iPod Touch

In the style of Plants vs Zombies, Hellemental is a fun must buy strategy treasure. You play Elija, a wizard whose calling it is to protect towns in Norlisk from all sorts of monsters. The game has elements of RPG combined with a strategic adventure game. At the beginning and inbetween levels, players level up the wizard’s spells used to ward off the creatures.

Intersog kept this possible frustration in mind and as a result, players can choose to either redo the level
