Top Heroes is a free strategy RPG for Android from RiverGame with no ads, which is uncommon for a game built around in-app purchases. Google Play lists over 10 million installs and a 4.7 rating from about 236 thousand ratings. The current version, 1.127.7, carries a crossover with How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World's sequel content.
No ads, but real-money items still on sale
The game sits in the no-ads category, so no banners or video interruptions appear between actions. Money still enters through in-app purchases, including random items, which the developer states plainly. Downloading and playing costs nothing.
Content is rated Everyone 10+, and the game runs on Android 6.0 or later.
A session with heroes, kingdom building and guild fights
You recruit heroes with distinct abilities, from knights to sorcerers, and assemble a lineup. Between battles you build up your territory into a kingdom, expand into new lands and gather resources.
The social side matters. Guilds fight bosses together, including the Alpha Dragon in the current Viking event, and players can form alliances. Stoick, Valka, Hiccup and Toothless appear as characters, with a Light Fury march skin and flight stages tied to the crossover.
The developer cites 50 million players, and a Discord community is linked for those who want to follow the game.
Where it sits next to Lords Mobile and Kingshot
Lords Mobile and Kingshot are the closest listed alternatives, since all three center on building a base and commanding armies. Top Heroes adds a hero-collecting layer and a licensed dragon theme. Mob Control and Warline: Sniper Squad are lighter action picks, while PPSSPP and RetroArch are emulators and serve a different purpose.
The game was first released on February 16, 2024, so it is newer than many of the long-running kingdom builders it competes with.
