HEROish is a fun, easy-to-pick-up MOBA-style deck-building game with plenty of variety and unique characters. The game offers three entertaining campaigns that will have you replaying and experimenting with different characters. The multiplayer can be repetitive, but it's still a great game for short gameplay sessions that's sure to keep you entertained.


What we like:
  • Variety in castle defense missions
  • Unique characters and environments
  • Replayability and short gameplay sessions
  • Customizable decks for online play
  • Bite-sized matches
What could be improved:
  • UI is designed for mobile, not desktop play
  • Multiplayer can be repetitive
  • Slowed pace due to increased difficulty
  • Some grinding is required to level up and upgrade cards
  • Limited gameplay variety outside of deck-building and castle defense
