A game like MapleStory, right in your browser

Love MapleStory but want to skip the download? Heroes MMO is a free side-scrolling MMORPG in your browser, in active development by a solo developer.

If you grew up on MapleStory, you know the feeling: jumping across platforms, grinding one more level, spotting a player with gear you want. Heroes MMO brings that side-scrolling MMORPG feeling straight to your browser. No download, no launcher. Open a link, make a hero and you are in.

Why MapleStory fans feel at home

  • Classic 2D side-scrolling combat in detailed pixel art.
  • Five classes with their own weapons, skills and talents, and a second form from level 15.
  • A long road to level 30 with more than 70 quests.
  • Tough bosses, rare drops and gear to chase.
  • Parties of up to 8, guilds, duels and world chat.

What makes it different

The zip rope changes how you move. Shoot it at a cliff, pull yourself up, jump and fire the next one in mid-air. Once it clicks, you cross whole maps without touching the ground. Walking from A to B turns into something you get better at.

Free and instant

Heroes MMO is free to play and runs in your browser. That also makes it easy to bring friends: send them a link and they can join your party a minute later.

Built in the open, updated all the time

This is not a finished game left on a shelf. I build Heroes MMO as a solo developer and ship updates constantly. Ten patches have landed since August, adding The Cave, the zip rope, parties, duels, The First Winter and guilds. You can follow all of it in the patch notes.

Join early, and help shape it

The game is in an alpha web playtest, and the community is at the start of its growth. That is the best time to join. Your feedback goes straight to the developer, and the players who arrive now are the ones who will set the tone. Apple, Android and Steam versions are on the way too.
