Hero Dash: RPG is a simple, straightforward mix of auto-battler and shoot 'em up

by Noah Mar 15,2025

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 hero dashes across the battlefield, pausing for RPG-style turn-based combat and blasting crystals to collect upgrades.

While not a genre-redefining title, Hero Dash: RPG is a competently crafted game. It delivers exactly what its name suggests. The game boasts a cohesive and appealing aesthetic, a refreshing change from some more visually aggressive titles in the genre. Customization and upgrades are achieved through crystal rewards.

Gameplay is straightforward: dash, battle, collect. If you've encountered similar titles, you'll feel right at home. While lacking revolutionary elements, the game's competent execution and charming art style make it a pleasant, if unspectacular, experience. Enjoyment will depend on your preference for this particular genre hybrid.
