The RPG game "Rusty Hearts Heroes" is getting a limited and soft launch for the Android and iOS versions in the United States.
A video posted by a YouTube gamer named Rendermax last Nov. 28, 2015 gave "Rusty Hearts" fans a look into the upcoming "Rusty Hearts Heroes" gameplay. The user notes that the game is nothing like the more well-known PC version yet still has the same set of heroes as the original version.
"Rusty Hearts" is a free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online RPG video game created by Stairway Games and published by three different companies in various regions- Windysoft in Korea, Perfect World Entertainment in North America and Sega in Japan. The game features nine different players with different fighting styles and are customisable via in-game purchases.
According to Android Community, it's very rare that mobile games get a soft launch in the United States as developers usually test their games in smaller areas such as New Zealand or the Netherlands. Regardless, the spin-off game for mobile will be soft launched in the U.S. and this is the second release that the game will be undergoing.
The first release did not include the U.S. area in the supported regions. Droid Gamers sees this as a sign of a possible global release of "Rusty Hearts Heroes" in the near future.
"Rusty Hearts Heroes" has been considered by experts as more of a spin-off than a sequel, considering the gameplay of the game is completely different from older versions. The gameplay introduces a more brawler-type experience to the battles, and includes some new combination attacks and special moves to the same set of characters.
The game was updated last Jan. 14, 2016 and requires a firmware of Android 4.1 or higher for Google-based smartphones. The file size clocks up about 32 megabytes and the game has received a rating on Google Play Store of 3.7 out of 5 stars.
