Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Refreshing Rip-Off?

Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. You assemble a team of diverse characters and battle enemies and bosses. While the gameplay itself isn't groundbreaking – we've seen this formula many times – it's not inherently bad.

However, a closer look at the game's marketing materials reveals some…unexpected characters. A quick glance at the official site and social media unveils suspiciously familiar faces, including Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro. The likelihood of these characters being officially licensed is, let's say, extremely low.

This brazen disregard for intellectual property rights is, frankly, amusing. It's a bold move, a bit like watching a fish attempt its first clumsy steps on land. While ethically questionable, the sheer audacity is strangely comforting, especially considering the dearth of such blatant rip-offs in recent years.

The game's audacity is particularly striking when compared to the many genuinely excellent mobile games released recently. Instead of focusing on Heroes United, why not explore our top five new mobile games this week? Or perhaps check out Stephen's review of Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, a title boasting superior gameplay and a far more memorable name.
