Looking pretty much the same as every other character could be seen as a detriment to the game but that initial pout is replaced by the utterly unique way each character plays. Customization comes in the form of costumes and gear rewarded through game play or purchased in the cash shop. As expected, all characters are gender locked and look exactly the same as all others of the same type at the onset. On the female side, there’s the cherubic (but deadly!) youngster, the tough-as-nails fighter, the sexy dominatrix and the slightly insane gothic girl. As with many anime-styled games, there is the hulking bruiser, the angsty pretty boy and the brooding bad boy. There are several each of male and female characters. Like many dungeon crawlers, HeroWarz players choose from one of seven characters rather than making one of their own.

In addition, while technically considered a 3D game, it feels more like a 2.5D game and it suits it very well. By this, HW is instance-based with an isometric viewpoint and features an anime art style. Players first stepping foot into the game will immediately recognize HeroWarz’ similarity to other dungeon crawlers such as Dungeon Fighter and its KOG predecessor, Elsword.

For those who do not know, KOG Games is the publisher of the very popular Elsword and HeroWarz is the company’s second foray into the North American market. HeroWarz was developed by A-Storm and is published on this side of the world by KOG Games.
