Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Unashamed Rip-Off RPG
Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. The gameplay, while unremarkable, involves assembling a diverse team of characters to battle enemies and bosses – a familiar formula in the mobile gaming world.
However, a closer look at the game's marketing materials reveals some... unexpected characters.
The inclusion of characters bearing a striking resemblance to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro is, to put it mildly, conspicuous. The lack of licensing for these recognizable figures is rather blatant, making for a surprisingly amusing spectacle. It's a refreshing change from the norm, a brazen example of a rip-off that somehow manages to be strangely endearing.
While the unauthorized use of these iconic characters is undeniably questionable, the sheer audacity of it is almost charming. It's a stark contrast to the many genuinely excellent mobile games currently available.
