Released in 2012, the Korean RPG Hello Hero from developer Fincon was a big success. It managed to build a player base of more than 20 million players from all over the world, and topped the app store charts in nearly 50 countries. Now, six years after Hello Hero first made its debut, its sequel, titled Hello Hero Epic Battle, has come to Europe after recently launching in North and South America.

 


Hello Hero Epic Battle Gameplay

Like the first game, Hello Hero Epic Battle takes the core mechanics of role-playing games and modify them into a touchscreen-friendly format. Furthermore, this sequel also made several improvements compared to its predecessor.

One of the biggest change is the combat. Unlike the turn-based system of Hello Hero, battles in Epic Battle takes place in real time. Players will have to tap and swipe on the phone screen to manage the different group members, move them around, and unleash powerful skills to slash through armies of adversaries.

In term of story, Hello Hero Epic Battle takes place several years after the first game.  The fantasy world of Armon is once again in peril. Thus, a new generation of heroes have to stand up, and they will team up with the original characters from the first Hello Hero to fight against the invading Phobos Army.

The game features a massive collection of more than 100 playable characters. Each of these characters has their unique abilities, as well as strengths and weaknesses.  These heroes are also fully customizable, and as they level up throughout the course of the game, they can unlock new abilities.

Hello Hero Epic Battle also has several options for multiplayer. Players can choose to team up to do missions or raid dungeons, or they can engage each other in PvP combats. Furthermore, there are several game modes to play in.

The game is available for free on Google Play and the App Store, although there will be in-app purchases. More information is available on its official Facebook page.
