Heroes Arise is a new 5v5 MOBA that's now open for testing on Android

In case you missed it, NetDragon's Heroes Arise is now in its beta testing phase, letting players get first dibs on the 5v5 MOBA on Android. Eager fans who want to get their hands on the game can simply download the APK - do note that data will be wiped after the test is over.

In Heroes Arise, players can expect to jump into the battleground against other players from across the globe. There are 34 heroes to choose from during the testing phase, and players can look forward to supposedly "lag-free gameplay" on a localised server. Matchmaking is a quick 15-second affair, and PvP battles last for ten minutes to make sure you can play conveniently whenever you feel like it.

The game also features three active abilities for heroes that make it easy for even beginners to the genre to get their feet wet. Specialities include melee, ranged and magic to suit each player's playstyle. It also boasts a supposedly small game size that facilitates download speeds for players, with mobile-adaptive features and high-quality graphics to boot.
