As we delve deeper into winter, new game launches become less frequent. With the holiday season approaching, people are more inclined to spend on gifts than indulge in mobile gaming. However, occasionally, a new release catches our attention, and Heroes United: Fight x3 is one such game.
At first glance, Heroes United: Fight x3 appears to be a standard 2D hero-collecting RPG, where players assemble a team of diverse characters to battle enemies and bosses. While this genre is familiar and well-trodden, there's nothing inherently wrong with Heroes United following this path.
However, a closer look at the game's social media and official website reveals something more intriguing—and concerning. The marketing materials feature characters that look strikingly similar to well-known figures like Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro. It's hard to believe these are officially licensed, which raises eyebrows about the game's legitimacy.
I've seen that face before (like the Grace Jones song)The inclusion of these recognizable characters without proper licensing feels like a throwback to the era of shameless rip-offs. While it's amusing to see such bold moves, it's also a reminder of the audacity of some developers. It's been a while since we've seen a game this brazen, and in a way, it's almost comforting to witness this kind of nostalgia.
Yet, it's frustrating to see such a game when there are so many genuinely excellent releases available. Why not explore our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?

Stephen has been exploring Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, which not only offers superior gameplay but also boasts a more memorable name than Heroes United: Fight x3.
