Heroes United: Fight x3: A Surprisingly Unlicensed Delight?

Heroes United: Fight x3 is a straightforward 2D hero-collecting RPG. The gameplay itself is unremarkable – a familiar formula of assembling a team of diverse characters to battle enemies and bosses. We've seen this countless times before.

However, a peek at the game's marketing materials reveals some… unexpected characters. Goku, Doraemon, and Tanjiro are among the familiar faces prominently featured. The likelihood of these appearances being officially licensed is, let's say, extremely low. It's a brazen display of unlicensed character use, a refreshing throwback to the more… enthusiastic days of mobile game development.
