Blitz: Rise of Heroes

Build a team for turn-based battles

Blitz: Rise of Heroes is a role-playing game about collecting heroes, improving their abilities and sending a squad into turn-based combat. It may suit players who enjoy planning a team and gradually strengthening its members, rather than controlling every move in real time. The game is set in the fantasy world of Larnes, where heroes belong to different factions.

Develop your heroes and gear

Progress involves more than adding new characters to your roster. You can raise hero levels, improve their skills, advance their rank by combining duplicates, and upgrade equipment such as weapons and armor. These systems give you several ways to build up a team, though they also mean that advancement involves managing heroes and resources over time.

The reference describes a roster of more than 100 heroes and a story campaign spanning 80 territories. If collecting characters and working through a long sequence of battles is part of the appeal for you, those are useful points to weigh. A large roster may also mean making choices about which heroes to prioritize.

Campaign, challenges and other players

• Story campaign: Progress through battles across the territories of Larnes.
• Other modes: Take on the Arena, Treasure Maze and Flaming Fortress, each offering a different kind of challenge.
• Guild play: Join or create a guild and take part in activities such as boss raids.

The mix of campaign, competitive battles and guild activities may fit players who want more than one route for using their team. Check whether these modes match the amount of time and social play you want from a role-playing game.
