Heroish lets you play as one of six heroes, like Flynn, a Thor-like paladin, and Vega, a skilled archer. In the game, the kingdom is under attack from evil forces. Fight back by summoning troops, casting spells and decimating enemy towers. Build custom decks and upgrade to stand a better chance against merciless foes. Heroish lets you play solo or compete with friends and family in 1v1 or 2v2 matches.
