Darkfire Heroes has an endless amount of tactics available for those who want to use the vast roster of heroes to their maximum potential. This includes magic spells, unique hero skills and powerful gear you can collect and equip.

While you may know Rovio for being behind the Angry Birds franchise, Darkfire Heroes is actually the first release from its studio located in Copenhagan. This developer is focused on creating accessible mid-core RPGs with a Nordic twist.

It is currently in soft-launch in Canada, United States, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Israel, Philippines, and Thailand and has evolved a lot over its time in this state.

You can download Darkfire Heroes now if you’re located in one of these territories by grabbing it from the iOS App Store or Google Play for Android. If not, you’ll have to wait for the full release coming in April. It’s a free to play title with in-app purchases.
