Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Refreshing Dose of Shovelware
This simple 2D hero-collecting RPG, Heroes United: Fight x3, recently launched, a somewhat unremarkable addition to the genre at first glance. It features the standard roster of diverse characters battling enemies and bosses – a familiar formula. However, a closer look at its promotional materials reveals some unexpectedly familiar faces.
The game's social media and website showcase characters bearing a striking resemblance to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro – characters whose inclusion seems…unlicensed, to say the least. This brazen display of copyright disregard is almost endearing in its audacity; a refreshing change of pace in the mobile gaming landscape.
The blatant rip-offs are hard to ignore, prompting both amusement and a touch of concern. While the game itself might be unremarkable, its audacity is undeniable. It’s a stark contrast to the many genuinely excellent mobile games currently available.
