## What is Heroes of the Dark?

In an age of dark fantasy, Heroes from the three great factions face off in an endless struggle for power and survival. Whose power will you embrace: the mystic Vampires, the brutal Werewolves, or the cunning Humans?

Heroes of the Dark (HotD) is an RPG game set in a grim Victorian world full of forsaken lands, arcane mysteries, and vile monsters. To survive, you must recruit, equip, and train Heroes from each faction, for only one who can master their combined might will prevail in 5v5 RPG battles and prevent the rise of a grim fate from befalling the land of Tenebris.

**A DARK TALE TO CHALLENGE YOUR HEROES**
Long ago, a great war ended with the moon shattering in the heavens. Its shards rained upon the world, granting the Werewolves untold strength. Thus empowered, the Werewolves drove the Vampires from the land and across the sea to Tenebris. In time, the outcast Vampires rebuilt their society by subjugating the local Humans to their will. But over the years, the Humans forged secret technologies to overthrow their undead masters… and just as the first uprisings began, the Werewolves arrived once more on the Vampires’ doorstep.

Now, as the carnage has reached its peak, a different threat has emerged, one capable of obliterating all three factions from the world. The only hope for any of them is to somehow unite the factions and destroy a legendary weapon hidden within an ancient tower.

**TACTICAL 5V5 COMBAT WITH IMMORTAL HEROES**
As you journey across Tenebris, dozens of immortal Heroes from all three factions will join your cause. Each has their own unique combat style and skills, like Kha’alil the Werewolf Tank, Lucretia the Vampire Assassin, or Altinay the Human Support.

Assembling an effective role-playing team takes more than throwing your strongest Heroes together. You must make the most of their physical, magical, and support skills, discover powerful synergies, and devise a battle plan that can unleash unspeakable devastation upon any foe!

**A REAL-TIME RPG ADVENTURE**
The action never stops in HotD! Day and night, your might grows as Heroes train to level up and explore dungeons to find mighty relics. You can send them on a quest now and check back later to see what weapons, armor, and treasures they’ve unearthed.

And when the going gets tough, the tough call on friends and allies to help defeat even the most massive foe.

**EXPLORE YOUR EPIC MAGIC MANSION**
Your epic adventure begins from within a gothic mansion filled with dark magic waiting to be unlocked. As your power grows, you will unlock rooms, allowing you to unite more Heroes of darkness to your cause and granting you additional powers to bestow upon your champions.

**FIND FRIENDS AND CHALLENGE RIVALS IN A MULTIPLAYER ADVENTURE**
As you team up with other HotD players, you can challenge rival teams to 5v5 showdowns where only the most skilled and well equipped players can win! Great rewards await those who claim victory, but only one can claim the ultimate power: “The Heart of Tenebris.”

Heroes of the Dark is available in 12 different languages: English, Русский, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, Italiano, العربية , 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文 and 日本語.

### 1/5 — It’s done

*2026-06-30, version 3.4.0*

Don’t bother playing. This is a dead game.

### 1/5 — This

*2026-05-15, version 3.4.0*

Dev loves to make “games” that r p2p. There’s absolutely nothing to do. How fun

### 3/5 — Game Bugs needs to be fixed

*2026-04-19, version 3.4.0*

New players can’t recruit 3 of the heroes.  Shop is broken and needs to be fixed.  Seasonal events to happen and don’t happen

### 3/5 — No more shop

*2026-02-05, version 3.4.0*

Guess the devs don’t want peoples money anymore. Shop has been broken for days now. Maybe they are shutting down the game.

### 1/5 — They stole my money

*2025-11-18, version 3.3.0*

I did buy some upgrades packs but when i encountered problem with my transactions not being recorded and contacted customer support - NO RESPONSE. They took money and DID NOT provide me with items I bought! It border lines a SCAM!!!!

### 5/5 — Solid Hero Trainer.

*2025-11-14, version 3.3.0*

I don’t personally favor the Halloween theme, but it does seem to have its own lore and identity. The Fallout Shelter hub design works well for this game, maybe from only having the Heroes populate it. There are good graphics and audio designs, and both resources and combat play well.

The important thing for me, is that, it just plays ‘Conventionally’, where I don’t have to worry about combat gameplay gimmicks like “Tower Defense”, or “Bejeweled Combat”, etc.; It more or less plays like a tried-and-true Hero Trainer.

### 1/5 — MONEY GRAB

*2025-09-17, version 3.2.0*

Let’s talk about how your blasted with a $100 purchase for garbage EVERY time you log in. DO BETTER GAMELOFT

### 4/5 — New monsters

*2025-09-16, version 3.2.0*

Just a suggestion but you should add Frankenstein and his wife plus other monsters

### 5/5 — I cann't believe you're all giving up

*2025-09-01, version 3.2.0*

You can give up, but please merge all the old areas. To merge the 47th district of the world,There are no more people. Is it really good for you to do this?How many people's time has been wasted.Finally, I hope you can be good people for the last time.

### 1/5 — Unbalanced Games and No Customer Support!!

*2025-08-30*

Design of characters and gameplay is quite good but it has quite unbalanced PvE gameplay that prevents you from progressing without spending money. Toxic attacks and frequent harassment in PvP where all your progress is negated by higher level players. Once they find you they will continue to harass you and attack you relentlessly. I did buy some upgrades packs but when i encountered problem with my transactions not being recorded and contacted customer support - NO RESPONSE. They took money and DID NOT provide me with items I bought! It border lines a SCAM!!!!
