As we delve into the heart of winter, it seems increasingly rare to encounter new game launches. With the holiday season approaching, people are more inclined to spend on gifts than on mobile gaming. However, occasionally, a new title emerges, and Heroes United: Fight x3 is one such example. This game is a simple 2D, hero-collecting RPG, seemingly unremarkable at first glance. It follows a familiar formula where players build a roster of diverse characters to battle hordes of enemies and bosses—a concept we've seen many times before, yet not inherently flawed in Heroes United.
However, a closer look at the game's social media and official site reveals something quite intriguing. Among the characters, you'll spot some surprisingly familiar faces—Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro, to name a few. These appearances raise eyebrows, as they're almost certainly unlicensed. It's quite audacious to see such blatant rip-offs making their way into the game's marketing. While it's hard not to chuckle at the sheer brazenness of Fight x3, it's also somewhat comforting to witness this kind of shamelessness in the industry after a long hiatus from such overt copycats.
The presence of these famous faces, who typically make headlines for their appearances in other games, is particularly galling when you consider the plethora of genuinely fantastic releases available. It's a good opportunity to shift our focus to those worthy titles. Why not explore our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
