If you're searching for a casual mobile game, you may enjoy Hero Wars – Hero Fantasy Multiplayer Battles. Hero Wars is totally free to download. Jump in and start playing right away! Hero Wars guides you through the first chapter of gameplay in an non-intrusive way. If you don't know what you're doing, that's totally fine! The tutorial will help you get started. Once you reach level 30, you can join a guild. Guilds hold regular competitions and offer exclusive rewards.

The game allows you to instantly talk to other online players. This is a nice break from other mobile RPGs, which keep things strictly singleplayer.

When your party hits level 10, you can unlock ranked PvP. This takes place through the Arena, which matches you to another party with a similar skill level.

Gameplay

Hero Wars is a side-scrolling RPG. You begin playing with a single hero, a tank named Galahad. Over the course of the game, you recruit more allies to your team.

Each ally has unique powers and a role to fill. For example, since Galahad is a wall of health and armor, he stays at the front of the group.

By the end of the first chapter, you'll have a full party: two tanks, one support, a caster, and a healer.

The campaign mode is typical for mobile RPGs. Let's talk about the levels.

Levels and battles
Each map is divided up into three waves of enemies. Sometimes a boss appears at the end.

Once you press "Start", your party rolls out and starts fighting mobs. Throughout the course of combat, a bar fills up under each character's picture. Once it's full, you (the player) can use their powerful ultimate attack.

The ultimate attacks are the only thing you control. Everything else is automatic until the end of the round.

Pin puzzle minigame
Hero Wars' advertising heavily promotes a sliding-pin puzzle game. The game features Galahad inside of an elaborate trap. You, the player, must interact with items to help Galahad claim the loot and escape.

This minigame appears at the very beginning of Hero Wars, and occasionally between levels. However, it's uncommon. If you downloaded this mobile app to play a pin puzzle, you're going to be disappointed.

Hero Wars is a side-scroller. The pin puzzle is only an infrequent minigame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

1.) Gameplay is very laid-back. Everyone can enjoy this casual mobile app experience. You can leave it running while you do something else, and not miss anything important.

2.) The graphics are colorful and nice to look at. The backgrounds have variety in color without seeming random. The animations are smooth and bright.

3.) The music is surprisingly epic for a mobile game. It feels like you're off on an adventure.

Cons

1.) Hero Wars is a generic game. It checks all the mobile RPG boxes - hero collecting, energy depletion, premium currency, and endless three-wave maps. The only thing that makes it stand out from other mobile RPGs is the inclusion of the puzzle minigame, which is considerably underused.

2.) Hero Wars is pay-to-win. This is especially true if you want to speed up the campaign or climb ranks in PvP. After a while, free play is extremely difficult without spending real cash.

3.) The intro can be confusing. When you launch the game for the first time, you're dropped right into a pin puzzle. Once you beat the puzzle, you zip off into a RPG campaign map without any explanation as to what's going on, or why.

Hero Wars touts itself as a pin-puzzle game with boss fights. In reality, it's a side-scrolling RPG where you collect heroes, deplete your energy, and eventually get pushed into buying premium currency.

However, there is genuine enjoyment to be found here. Putting a party together makes you feel like a master tactician. The automatic fights keep things laid back. So, if you're looking for something easy to play, consider giving Hero Wars a download.
