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

by Ryan Mar 22,2025

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 character 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 delivers a competent and enjoyable experience. If the name suggests what to expect, it's accurate. It's a well-produced entry in the auto-battler/shoot 'em up/RPG subgenre. Its refreshing aspect is a cohesive aesthetic that avoids being overly aggressive or jarring.
