Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Unlicensed Delight?
This simple 2D hero-collecting RPG, Heroes United: Fight x3, might initially appear unremarkable. It follows the familiar formula of assembling a diverse team to battle enemies and bosses – a genre well-trodden, but not necessarily a bad thing.
However, a closer look at its marketing materials reveals some…unexpected characters. The game's promotional images prominently feature faces strikingly similar to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro – characters whose inclusion seems…questionable, to say the least. Let's just say the licensing agreements are likely…unclear.
The brazen use of these recognizable figures is undeniably amusing. It's a bold, almost endearingly shameless display of…creative liberties. It's a refreshing change of pace, a quirky reminder of a bygone era of less-stringent copyright enforcement.
While the blatant rip-offs are hard to ignore, it's worth remembering the wealth of genuinely excellent mobile games currently available. To offer a counterpoint to this unlicensed adventure, check out our latest top five new mobile games list!
