If you’re a fan of the superheroes and supervillains from DC Comics, then you’re in luck—soon, you’ll be able to enjoy a mobile game that will let you play as all your favorite characters. The name of this up-and-coming game is DC Heroes & Villains, a title developed by Ludia Inc. that mixes adventure, role-playing and puzzles with the most popular superheroes and villains from this comic book series. Below, we’ll tell you everything we know about it, including the release date, characters, gameplay, and more…
What is DC Heroes & Villains?
DC Heroes & Villains is a puzzle RPG where you’ll get to play as legendary characters from this comic book label in an adventure involving puzzles, cinematic settings, and upgraded menus. It offers the ever-popular match-3 gameplay, which means that you’ll have to connect pieces that are the same color in order to activate your heroes’ and villains’ attacks and special powers.
How to play DC Heroes & Villains
This mobile game will transport you to different corners of the DC Comics universe to fight, although the way in which you’ll do it will be a bit strange: you’ll have to connect pieces in sets of three, according to their colors. This will unleash powerful attacks by superheroes and villains, which can be enhanced by creating synergies between the characters on your team. As you progress, you’ll be able to level up your heroes and villains to increase the power of their attacks.
Several game modes: story, PvP…
This basic gameplay will be used to give rise to different game modes that can range from offline modes, such as a story mode that will narrate the joint struggle of heroes and villains against a superior evil, to multiplayer modes that offer both PvP against people you know and more competitive modes against strangers. You’ll also find battles against final bosses, special events, online leagues and many more ways to take advantage of the match-3 gameplay system.
Which characters will appear in DC Heroes & Villains?
There’s currently no complete list of DC Heroes & Villains characters; however, many of the most iconic names from the DC Comics universe have already been confirmed: of course, you’ll find characters such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor and Harley Quinn, although there will also be room for other, perhaps, lesser-known characters, such as Jessica Cruz, Cheetah and Dr. Poison, among others.
When will DC Heroes & Villains be available?
According to information provided by the developers, DC Heroes & Villains will be available soon for mobile devices in 2023, although there is no specific release date. As of today, there are open tests in several countries, so it’s possible to download the APK for free and try it out before its official release. There’s also a pre-registration open that encourages the community to sign up to get all the information about the game and receive a notification when it’s officially launched.
Will it be free?
DC Heroes & Villains will be a free-to-download game, but it will include in-app purchases that will allow players to buy additional items and virtual currency. However, the developers have assured that the game will be possible to be played entirely without spending real money, so that means it will have a free-to-play model that will try to avoid turning into a pay-to-win. It has also been confirmed that it will have a battle pass that will be updated seasonally.
Minimum requirements to play DC Heroes & Villains
In order to play DC Heroes and Villains on your phone, you’ll need to make sure your device meets the minimum system requirements. The developers have not yet provided detailed information about the requirements, but since the trial version can already be downloaded in many territories, we know that it will be a fairly accessible game for mid-range devices. The only thing we know for sure at the moment is that players will need to have Android 7.0 or higher to be able to run it.
