Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Familiar 2D RPG

Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. You assemble a team of diverse characters to battle enemies and bosses – a familiar formula, but not inherently bad.

However, a closer look at the game's promotional materials reveals some… unexpected characters.

The game's marketing prominently features characters strikingly similar to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro. The resemblance is uncanny, to say the least, and raises questions about licensing. It's a brazen display of homage, perhaps bordering on copyright infringement. This blatant imitation is almost refreshing in its audacity.

While the game itself might not be groundbreaking, its blatant use of unlicensed characters is undeniably attention-grabbing. This brazen approach is a stark contrast to many other high-quality mobile game releases.

To appreciate the difference, consider checking out our latest list of top five new mobile games, or reading Stephen's review of Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago – a game with both superior gameplay and a more memorable title.
