Examiner.com takes a look at Hero: 108 Online, the Action MMORPG produced by Gamania as part of their Hero: 108 cartoon series. The brawler shows some promise, but also shows some fundamental early game flaws that can leave new players frustrated. Overall, the game offers some quirky and energetic gameplay that - while it can be improved upon - will likely be a fan-favorite.

There's a certain charm that massively multiplayer online brawlers possess. For the older generation of gamers, brawlers have the ability to pull us back into the arcade days of our youth; for the younger gamers, the fast-paced action is better at grabbing attention and competing with popular offline action games. There's something primitively appealing about smashing buttons, dodging attacks, and using real-time tactics to bring down an opponent. Beating things up simply is a fundamental element of fun for gamers.

With that in mind, the combination of a popular cartoon series, the joyful action sequences of a brawler, and the social elements of an MMO should prove a recipe for success - and that's what Hero: 108 Online aims to prove.
