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 and battle enemies and bosses – a familiar formula in the mobile gaming world. However, a closer look reveals some unexpectedly familiar faces.

The game's marketing materials prominently feature characters bearing a striking resemblance to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro. While the game itself is unremarkable, the blatant use of these iconic characters without apparent licensing is noteworthy. It's a brazen display of copyright disregard, almost endearing in its audacity.

The inclusion of these recognizable figures is undeniably attention-grabbing, even if ethically questionable. It’s a curious spectacle, reminiscent of watching an unlikely creature adapt to a new environment.

While the game's blatant imitation is amusing, it's also a stark contrast to the many high-quality mobile games available. Instead of focusing on Heroes United: Fight x3, perhaps it's time to explore some truly excellent new releases.
