Hero Dash: RPG, a newly released blend of auto-battler and shoot 'em up, is now available on iOS. The gameplay seamlessly integrates both genres: your character dashes across the battlefield, pausing for RPG-style turn-based combat and blasting crystals to collect upgrades.
While not a genre-redefining experience, Hero Dash: RPG is a competently crafted game. It delivers exactly what its title suggests: a hero dashing through a battlefield, engaging in turn-based battles and collecting crystal rewards for character upgrades. The game's aesthetic cohesion is a refreshing change from some more in-your-face titles.
Hero Dash: RPG's execution is solid, featuring appealing, cute art. However, its appeal will depend heavily on your preference for the auto-battler/shoot 'em up RPG subgenre. It's a perfectly enjoyable game, but not necessarily groundbreaking.
