Hero Dash: RPG is a freshly launched game that blends auto-battler and shoot 'em up genres, now available on iOS. The gameplay involves your character traversing a battlefield and engaging in combat, interspersed with moments to stop and fight. You can enhance and customize your character using rewards obtained from shattered crystals.
While some game releases revolutionize their genres and challenge existing norms, others refine existing mechanics to create exemplary experiences. Hero Dash: RPG falls into neither category but serves its purpose well. If you're familiar with similar titles, you'll find the gameplay predictable. As the hero, you dash across the battlefield, switching between RPG-style turn-based battles and shooting at crystals to collect rewards for character upgrades.
Although Hero Dash: RPG may not be groundbreaking, it lives up to its name. It's a solid addition to the auto-battler, shoot 'em up, and RPG genre mix. The game's aesthetic is cohesive and pleasingly understated, which can be a refreshing change from more aggressive visual styles.
