Heroes United: Fight x3 is a lawsuit just waiting to happen, so let\'s talk about it

by Natalie Mar 19,2025

Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. A quick look at its social media, however, reveals some surprisingly familiar faces.

With winter upon us, new mobile game releases are becoming less frequent. People are more focused on holiday shopping, but occasionally a new title emerges. Some are gems, like *Mask Around*; others, like *Heroes United: Fight x3*, are… less so.

At first glance, *Heroes United* seems unremarkable. A standard 2D RPG where you assemble a diverse team to battle enemies and bosses. It’s a familiar formula, but not inherently bad.

However, a closer look at the game's promotional materials reveals some strikingly familiar characters. Characters like Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro appear prominently, and their inclusion seems… unauthorized, to say the least. It's a brazen display of unlicensed characters, a refreshing throwback to the "good old days" of blatant rip-offs.

While the blatant imitation is amusing, it’s also a stark contrast to the many excellent mobile games available. Let's take a moment to appreciate those instead. Check out our latest list of the top five new mobile games to try this week!

Or, for a more in-depth look, read Stephen's review of *Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago*. It offers superior gameplay and, frankly, a much better title than today's subject.
