Sega Heroes Is Shutting Down, and Fans are Sad to See it Go
Sega and Demiurge have announced that the mobile game Sega Heroes will be shutting down as of next [...]
It certainly highlights one of the problems surrounding mobile gaming.
Well. Here's a reason I hate modern mobile games. The only one I play (and never spend money on) is Sega Heroes. Now it's being discontinued and will be gone forever since it has no offline modes. Oh well, it was kinda fun for the nearly year I played it. Mobile gaming stinx.

Definitely something developers and publishers should consider.
Also, this is why I hate online games. Servers are just shutting down and it's the end - you can't play game in any form. I just hope all of future Sega mobile games have OFFLINE

It's rare to see a mobile game get that kind of merchandising.
Really does suck to hear about Sega Heroes.
It had some great promotional items. Hope Sega Europe do more stuff like this for their future titles. pic.twitter.com/xqOr4ibWZY

Many fans are disappointed about the franchises that didn't make it into the game.
What an absolute shame, there was so much potential for this app and it sucks we didn’t get to see characters like NiGHTS get added in. This app had a good run, I’m glad we got it. Hopefully something similar will be made by SEGA in the future.

Sayonara, SEGA Heroes.
The game helped people get reacquainted with some dormant franchises...
Sad to see SEGA Heroes go, it was a really cool collab between a lot of SEGA's dormant franchises. I hope for something similar to this in the future. I never really thought I would be so interested in a match-3 game at first, but this game proved me wrong. pic.twitter.com/cSL8AXaeRB

...and it introduced some gamers to them in the first place!
These four were my elite back in Sega Heroes. I heard the game will be discontinued today, and this was the game that got me researching Jet Set Radio
And no, I didn't fall for the microtransactions. I'm smarter than that, you know pic.twitter.com/o4YEetKVg0

Heroes certainly had a lot of fan service.
I still have big love for the quality of the character artworks and how each character actually had moves relevant to their personality. Thanks for your hard work everyone ❤️

Art like this just shows how much the game meant to some people.
Very sad to hear that SEGA Heroes is shutting down. I played daily. Thanks for the fun @SEGAHeroes 💙 #SEGAHeroes pic.twitter.com/bFup0fYqaE
