Why new indie co-op RPGs are worth a look

Indie teams move fast and skip the bloat. No endless menus, no pay-to-win wall — just a tight loop made by people who play it themselves and read every message.

Meet HeroBond

HeroBond is a free 2D arena RPG you can play solo, in co-op, or in PvP. Matches are quick, the controls feel right on a phone, and the whole thing is built around 'quick to start, hard to put down.'

Pick your hero

Six heroes, each with two playstyles, plus two legendaries to unlock.

Free, fair, fast

No pay-to-win. Sessions that fit real life. And a weekly leaderboard where the top players split a $100 prize — free to enter, skill decides. It's free on the App Store and Google Play.
