Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • This catalog entry appears to be a miscategorization: Hero Wars is a single-player idle RPG with asynchronous PvP, not a persistent shared-world MMO.
  • If hero-collection idle RPGs with guild features appeal to you, it's one of the more heavily-marketed titles in the genre.
  • Worth knowing about for fans of mobile idle RPGs researching the genre's business model.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • There's no shared persistent world — you play alone against AI and asynchronous opponent teams, not other players in real time.
  • If this profile is being used to evaluate MMO-style shared-world features, this entry doesn't fit the genre this site is built around.
  • Progression is heavily gacha-driven, which can create real-money spending pressure over time.
