THIS GAME IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

As with most games in the RPG genre, players must exercise the Flexibility thinking skill in a number of ways in order to be successful. In combat, players must be able to create and adapt strategies on the fly depending on the makeup of their part versus the makeup of enemies. For example, players will utilize different strategies when fighting magic casters versus enemies who rely on armor and melee attacks. In addition, players are tasked with controlling numerous heroes at the same time, maximizing effectiveness by managing each character's individual strengths, weaknesses, and abilities based on any given scenario. Heroes of Destiny requires players to develop and implement strategies quickly and effectively, while facing a variety of enemies and scenarios.

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

Players are tasked with keeping track of and organizing a multitude of gear, items, and characters. Whether keeping track of items in their inventory, or strategically arranging their heroes during combat, players must be able to organize their resources in order to most effectively meet new and increasingly difficult challenges. While the inventory is mainly arranged for players by the type of item, players must make decisions about what items to carry with them, which items to equip, and which items can be sold for profit to be used on other useful items. During combat, players must organize their team to meet the demands of each new challenge. For example, keeping melee fighters away from "healer" characters, requires players to arrange their strongest and most armored heroes in between enemies and weaker heroes. Heroes of Destiny requires players to exercise the organization thinking skill in order to be use resources most effectively at completing objectives and defeating enemies.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Players must determine their major goals and priorities and develop a strategy to achieve these goals. Planning includes saving resources for upgrades, determining which quests to pursue, or what party members might be most useful for success in combat. In addition, completing the same quest on a higher difficulty mode will reward players with greater rewards; however, completing higher difficulty modes requires a greater degree of planning. Players must improve their party by making upgrades and gaining levels before advancing to more challenging modes, as well increase effectiveness and efficiency in combat.
