Hero Rush: Adventure RPG is another example of a casual roguelike shooter like Archero and many more. While the theme is just standard fantasy, this title might feel & look so good to be worth trying.
On the first look, it's just like any other game - cute, stylized fantasy characters, cute monsters, overall lots of colors. Yet, some things are just polished more than usual. Typically, between each fight, you need to enter a room. Here, the barrier disappears, and you continue your journey, making things really smooth. Also, before each boss fight, there's a close-up, where you can see every detail of the monster - and usually, you won't be disappointed.
The game is kinda new, so you won't meet a vast number of playable heroes - just 2 archers, 2 mages, and 2 melee fighters. Still, you won't get bored with their looks quickly, as the collected gear will change how your characters look. Of course, the same goes for weapons - and their effects - and even with tens of bullets on the screen, everything looks smooth & clear.
The game plays the same as any other similar title. You need to win a series of fights with a single health bar, defeating bosses from time to time. Enemies will grow stronger each stage, so, fortunately, you'll be able to get a set of skills/power-ups on the way. It's a rather usual selection, like multi-shoot, faster shooting, or enemy explosions on defeat.
After a fight, you'll probably get some gold, tokens, equip & upgrade materials. That means you'll be able to change gears, upgrade them - or rank-up sacrificing other items. Then, tokens can be used to power up the selected hero after it's unlocked/upgraded with special hero shards.
Hero Rush doesn't have tonnes of additional modes - but there's a time-limited boss fight challenge with online leaderboards. You'll be fighting with one giant monster until you deal a specific amount of damage - then you'll get a new skill - and the enemy will get stronger.
There'll be many occasions to watch an ad for reward - to reroll skill, increase loot, etc. You'll also be able to get some chests, premium currency - or premium pass.
