Heroes United: Legal Concerns Loom Over New Game's Launch

Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Unashamed Rip-Off

Heroes United: Fight x3 is a standard 2D, hero-collecting RPG. Its gameplay, while unremarkable, isn't inherently bad. However, a quick look at its marketing materials reveals some…unexpected characters.

The game's promotional materials feature strikingly familiar faces; Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro, to name a few. The likelihood of these characters being officially licensed is, let's say, extremely low. It's a brazen display of unauthorized use, a refreshing change from the usual subtle imitations. It's almost endearingly audacious.

The inclusion of these iconic figures is undeniably amusing. It's a blatant rip-off, a bold move in the mobile gaming landscape, where such blatant copyright infringement is rare these days.

However, the game's audacity pales in comparison to the many genuinely excellent mobile games available.
