The game in practice

Hero Wars is built around assembling a five-hero team and tuning it. Battles resolve automatically once they start, so the real game is in roles, skill order, artefacts and counter-picking before the fight. Campaign, arena, guild raids and tower modes all reuse the same roster in different ways.

What you actually do

  • Five-hero squads with tank, control and damage roles
  • Automatic battle resolution with pre-fight preparation
  • Artefact, skin and ascension upgrade paths
  • Arena, guild war and tower game modes

Editorial strengths

  • Deep team-composition puzzle with clear feedback
  • Battles are quick, so short sessions work well
  • Plenty of variety across modes without new downloads

Primary limitation

Competitive arena ranks strongly favour long-invested or paying accounts.

Optional purchases

Free to start. Optional purchases include hero chests, energy and progression bundles.

The game is free to start. Nothing on this page is required to play.

Who it suits

Suits players who like RPG progression and planning, and don't mind automated combat.

Best for: Collectors who enjoy tuning a team roster
