Heroes Arena, the next major title from uCool, has arrived on Android and iOS. It features the developer’s own take on what the mobile MOBA experience should be like; borrowing inspiration from the success that PC based games have found.
The game features the classic three lane map that many MOBA fans are familiar with, making it much easier to just dive into it. Game modes include the traditional 5v5 match, but also features 3v3 and 1v1 matches.
At launch, Heroes Arena will feature 26 different heroes spread across six classes. Each class fills a different battlefield role, such as the Assassin, Tank, or Support. It’s up to players to discover the best team composition for their own style, since there can only be a maximum of five players on each team at a time. Meaning that at least one role will go unrepresented.
Graphically, the game is a step up from other mobile based MOBAs. These include assets and fluent gameplay that looks more at home on full blown computers.
To celebrate the launch of the game on iOS, uCool will be running a host of in-game events and rewards. It starts with daily login bonuses, and continues with discounts on heroes for a limited amount of time. Daily events for players to earn additional in-game gold will also be taking place during this time.
Heroes Arena took in over one million players during the pre-registration period. Of course, this was helped by the promise of a free hero for all those who pre-registered. Several stretch goals were also met due to the number of players, providing them with in-game gold, rune packages, leader abilities, and diamonds.
Heroes Arena is currently available on both Android and iOS.

too many of similar genre. oversupply. T_T
Even worse, those games have similar map skin as LoL. C’mon
(At least, Vainglory is the only MOBA which looks more original)
In my opinion, the only mobile moba worth playing is Vainglory. Best mobile controls unlike those joystick nonsense. Good customer service Excellent graphics. 11/10 wouldn’t play again, too addictive would lose self control.
I would like to share my experience and opinion about this article.
Yeah there’s many similar genre, same types of elements used and characters.
But if you like the game, go for it.
However, I just wanna give you a warning.
It’s not about the game.
It’s about the company involved in the game, uCool.
If you don’t know, uCool came out with a game called Heroes Charge and it became an instant hit.
But it all came crashing down because they stupidly stole the game code from another game called DoTArena.
The lawsuit is still going on and not settled yet till today.
Ever since that lawsuit surfaced, the following events happened, in no particular order:
– updates tremendously slowed down
– barely to no new content for months
– no hero balancing
– no testing of patches and instead, releasing them where players exploited the bugs
– customer support and developers do not work together, heck the developers don’t even know the features of the game making it hard for players to provide feedback
– released events which required players to spend outrages amounts which isn’t worth it but supposedly upgrades the hero (e.g. USD 999.00 for a custom character skin which increases stats by 1%, yes the price and percentage increase is no joke!)
– and too much more negativity to post here…
So I would advice you people to stay away from this game company and any games it comes out with.
I really hope I can be proven wrong one day…
Thanks for reading it you made it this far…
