Hero Dash: RPG is a newly released game that blends the auto-battler and shoot 'em up genres, now available on iOS. The gameplay involves your character navigating a battlefield, pausing to engage in combat, and customizing and upgrading with rewards obtained from crystals.
While some game releases revolutionize genres or refine mechanics to perfection, Hero Dash: RPG falls into neither category. However, it's a solid entry in its field. If you're familiar with similar titles, you'll find the gameplay predictable yet enjoyable. As the hero, you dash across the battlefield, switching between RPG-style turn-based battles and shooting at crystals to collect rewards and enhance your character.
Hero Dash: RPG may not break new ground, but it delivers a competently crafted experience within the auto-battler and shoot 'em up RPG genre. The game boasts a cohesive aesthetic that's pleasing without being overwhelming, which adds to its charm. The art style is cutesy and appealing, though your enjoyment will largely depend on your preference for this type of game.
While Hero Dash: RPG might not be a standout release, it's not a bad game either. It executes its concept well and offers a fun, if familiar, experience. If you're looking to explore beyond Hero Dash: RPG, consider checking out other games like Jump King, which has recently been reviewed by Will Quick.
