Plarium, the developer most known for the hit mobile RPG 'RAID: Shadow Legends,' recently released its next hero-based title, 'Tower Heroes.' Tower Heroes is available now on iOS and Android devices in early access, but despite being early access, the game has a near-endless flood of content.
Players are able to tackle the fully-3D main storyline, fight in the player-versus-player arena, join guilds, enhance heroes with equipment, collect hundreds of powerful heroes, and conquer challenging player-versus-everything content, including challenge towers and boss dungeons.
Tower Heroes is a gacha game that resembles RAID: Shadow Legends in art style and setting. The game takes place in a fantasy-inspired fictional world with demons, elves, trolls, and other popular fantasy races, as they interact with one another in a sprawling and immersive story.
