Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Unlicensed Delight?
Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. The gameplay, while familiar – assembling a team of diverse characters to battle enemies and bosses – isn't inherently bad. However, a quick peek at its marketing materials reveals some…unexpected characters.
The game's promotional materials feature strikingly similar likenesses to Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro. The lack of licensing for these recognizable figures is, to put it mildly, conspicuous. It's a brazen display of unauthorized character use, a refreshing change from the usual mobile game fare.
The audacity of including these characters is almost charming in its blatant disregard for copyright. It's a curious spectacle, like witnessing a fish attempting its first terrestrial steps.
While the unlicensed characters are undeniably the highlight (or lowlight, depending on your perspective), it's difficult to offer an unbiased review without acknowledging the amusement factor. The game's blatant disregard for intellectual property rights is hard to ignore.
However, it's worth remembering the wealth of genuinely high-quality mobile games currently available. To explore some excellent alternatives, check out our latest list of top five new mobile games.
