HeroBond is live on Google Play

It’s out. HeroBond: Co-op & PvP RPG is live on Google Play.

If you’ve been reading along, you know the shape of it by now: a 2D real-time arena RPG you can drop into in two minutes — solo, co-op, or PvP — with eight heroes, six modes, and hourly leaderboards that pay out in crystals and in-game gold. Quick to start. Hard to put down.

Getting here

Shipping to a store is its own game, and it has a tutorial nobody warns you about: privacy policy, data-safety disclosures, an account-deletion flow, ad-network verification, a closed test with real players. We did the whole checklist. None of it shows up in a trailer, but it’s the difference between “a build on our phones” and “a thing you can install.”

What shipped alongside launch

We didn’t just freeze the game and push it. A few things landed with the release:

• Ranger became Hunter. He’s a spear skirmisher now — his signature move is a big linear slash that picks up knockback at Lv5 and a +50% damage bump at Lv10.
• Archer joined the cast. The bow-and-arrow kit that used to belong to Ranger moved to a dedicated new hero — Volley, Ricochet, and the Thunder Volley ultimate. That takes the roster to eight (six regular, two legendary).
• 2v2 Arena. A new ranked event: grab a partner, coordinate your kits, and climb a leaderboard against other duos.

You can see the full cast and every ability ladder on the new HeroBond wiki.

What’s next

Android first. iOS is coming — we want to grow on one platform and listen before we widen out. After that: more events, more balance passes, and the usual honest notes here about what we changed and why.

If you play, tell us what breaks. That’s the whole point of shipping early.
