Hero Fighter has a riding system in which players can jump onto horses and monsters to increase their speed or strength with lessened maneuverability.
Furthermore, fighters are able to use objects in the game, such as boulders and the trunks of trees and even jump on them as platformers.
These points are depleted when performing certain physical abilities, such as running, jumping and flipping.
Later versions added two new soldier type, archers and cavalry, and the ability to give instructions like 'follow' or 'move' to better control them.
Another big change hit the game in version 0.4 with the addition of a level system, locked characters and in-game accounts to record players unlocked characters and levels.
A new ride, called monster (also known as dragon or dinosaur) was implemented in version 0.5, with a few chances compared to riding common horses, such as being able to run over enemies and spit fireballs, but with the drawback of being much slower.
On 6 June 2015, Marti Wong had release Hero Fighter X for Android and iOS.
