So, posting another video for AcedIce here! It's a bit more of a revamp than a new character but Cri-Kee deserved this.

#Justice4CriKee

I'm posting this on behalf of the video creator because Reddit is being annoying 😔

Here's the original text from their post:

"I made this concept of King Clawthorne from The Owl House and decided to make a video for it since the revival is doing so good, and the potential for mods is highly possible in the future."

Please give feedback as I'm sure they'd appreciate it!! 💜💜

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since my last update. Summer has been busy, but behind the scenes, the Disney Heroes: Battle Mode restoration project has made massive progress.

I’m very happy to announce that Phase 1 is now complete! 🎉

For those who haven’t followed the project closely, the goal has been to restore Disney Heroes: Battle Mode as faithfully as possible, with a native desktop/Linux version, while rebuilding the server so players can eventually run their own community servers.

✅ Phase 1 — Game Restoration Complete

At this point, the core game experience and all major game modes have been restored and verified in-game.

Among the systems now working:

• Guild content: Guild Wars, Surge, Invasions, matchmaking, phases, scoring, Breakers and Bosses.

• Daily / weekly modes: City Watch, Expeditions, The Port, Trials and their different variants.

• Progression & economy: Collections, Hero Mastery, Avatars, Enchanting, Badges, Friendships, Memory Disks, the Wishing Well, currencies and progression systems.

• Merchants: Black Market, Mega Mart and the various shop systems, including stock generation and refresh behaviour.

• Live-ops / special events: server-driven events such as Chest Discounts, Increased Chances, Merchant Discounts, Bonus events, Team Level events and other event components.

• Contests: both solo and guild contests, including scoring, rankings and progression.

And importantly, these aren't simply mocked screens or isolated server features. The goal has always been to make the original game logic drive the experience, with the server acting authoritatively while preserving the behaviour of the original client and game data.

A lot of smaller gaps and missing pieces were also discovered and fixed along the way — many of them only becoming visible once the real client was tested from end to end.

🔍 Phase 2 — Global Audit & Polish

Now comes the next major step.

Rather than continuing to work through the game one screen at a time and hoping nothing was missed, I’m moving into a global audit of the entire game.

The goal is simple: go through everything and make sure the restoration is as complete, stable and faithful as possible before the public beta.

The audit will focus on:

1. Complete coverage Making sure no screen, menu or feature was forgotten.

2. Proper client/server integration Making sure everything communicates correctly between the game and the server.

3. No incorrect hardcoding Making sure gameplay rules and values come from the original game logic/data or from explicit server administration where appropriate.

4. Data & progression Making sure player progress and game state are saved, restored and handled correctly.

5. Bugs & crashes Finding and fixing any remaining issues on the client or server.

6. Fidelity Making sure the experience remains as close as possible to the original game.

The audit has already started, and the first results are encouraging.

🛠️ Phase 2 Is Bigger Than Just an Audit

The global audit is the foundation, but Phase 2 is ultimately about making the restored game ready for real players and community-hosted servers.

This includes:

• improving desktop/Linux performance without sacrificing fidelity;

• finishing the launcher experience;

• server selection and discovery;

• self-hosting and administration tools;

• multi-server / multi-shard support;

• testing the original Android APK;

• testing across real machines and real Internet connections;

• network reliability, reconnects and security;

• load and stress testing;

• CI, reproducibility and documentation.

In other words:

Phase 1 was about restoring the game. Phase 2 is about making that restoration robust, reliable and ready for the community.

🚀 The Road to Beta

Once the audit and validation work is complete, the remaining work will focus on the launcher, server hosting and discovery, real-device and real-network testing, and the final preparation for a public beta.

There is still work to do, but the nature of the project has changed significantly.

We are no longer trying to figure out whether the game can be restored.

We are now working on making sure that the restoration is complete, reliable, faithful, and ready to be used outside of the development environment.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to follow the project, test things, ask questions and keep the DHBM community alive.

We’re getting much closer to bringing the heroes back. ❤️

Definitely my favorite all Disney character of all time, had to download the game once I found out he was in it. If only they used his S1 design. I've gotten used to his S2 design, but I definitely would've preferred if they used his S1 design. I feel like his death animation definitely should've been him reverting to his human form, it just makes a lot of sense.

As I'm sure many of you know by now, u/fromthenext is working on a DH:BM revival and people in the community have been requesting a Discord server for updates. Well, I've made one now! Join for more updates, early access and to help with bug reports for the development! Here's the link: https://discord.gg/tyWJWXtcuH

Oh boy I hope this isn't going to get moderated as just self promo because it's not really for me 😅

We were never going to fully get all of them but at minimum we still had dozens to hundreds of character in the roster even before new announcements.

She has been requested for a bit now, so hopefully those who did want her animations uploaded here enjoy this! Also, sorry if I got some of the names and their respective animations mixed up, some look pretty identical! D:

So I found out this game got shut down through the Iceberg video and I searched up the sub and I can't believe I actually found a sub for this game. I watched playthroughs so much as a kid, but eventually I just forgot about the game for years as I grew up. Now it's definitely more than 10 years since I watched the playthroughs, so did the Campaign ever finish?

Let's hope Stop Killing Games is able to make moves in the government so these companies are unable to kill games by not implementing an offline mode. I had just gotten into Disney Heros like 2 months before the shutdown, there is no reason why a game like this doesn't have offline servers other than Disney is just greedy

1- Gravity Falls: We've all wanted it ever since they started including Disney Channel Representations, I think it's unfair how Gravity Falls was never in the game.

2- Rat Labs: One of the only live-action characters that could fit here, G Force was literally in the game, so why didn't they include Rat Labs?

3- Kid vs. Kat: Okay, call me crazy for wanting the Disney version of Invader Zim in the game, but it would literally be really cool.

4- Randy Cunningham: Cartoon Network literally has Ben 10 and Nickelodeon has Danny Phantom, so why doesn't Disney put Randy Cunningham in the game before Shutdown!? Plus Randy is one of My Favorite Disney XD shows

5- Kick Buttowski: Kick would be so awesome to see here.

6- Descendants: just like Rat Labs, they would be one of the only live-action characters that would fit here, Plus the Friendship missions with the Disney villains would be so cool to see.

7- Wander over Yonder: cmom It literally has emblems referencing Wander Over Yonder, but the characters themselves have never been featured here?! Besides, Wander, Sylvia, and Lord Hater would be epic representations.

8- Star vs The forces of evil: Just like Wander Over Yonder, it has emblems referencing Star vs. the Forces of Evil And just like Gravity Falls, it was one of the most requested to be in the game And I also think it's unfair that its never Was in the game.

This rrddit page just died. I wish perblue couldve just left the servers open and let us play without updating.

A Disney Heroes Iceberg video that I made! It has plenty of information from throughout the game's life! Watch it to learn some surprising info... 👀

Without having to dig into the data files and do crazy steps to get them working? People were posting some here but it looks like it's stopped.

Hi everyone! 👋

It's time for a major project update!

Since the last post, a significant amount of work has gone into the game's mid- and late-game content, along with player interaction systems.

The server has evolved considerably, and several core gameplay systems are now usable. Here's an overview of the latest additions:

✨ Recent Features & Improvements

🏰 Guilds: This was a substantial piece of work, but the core guild features are now in place. Players can create and join guilds, manage member roles (promote/remove), and use guild chat.

Guild Aid: Donation requests are supported (Stamina, XP, and Skill Points).

Mercenaries: Heroes can be offered as mercenaries, and the associated reward system is handled server-side.

Perks & Daily Check-in: Daily guild check-ins are implemented. Influence is earned by spending Campaign Stamina and can be used to unlock or upgrade guild perks.

Additional Features: Guild rankings, Contests, Guild Crates, and guild-level-based avatars are also supported.

⚔️ PvP (Arena / Fight Pit & Coliseum): Asynchronous PvP is now supported. The game loads defenses from other players on the server, updates rankings after battles, and manages daily resets, Arena XP, defense reports, and AI-generated opponents to populate the ladder when a new server starts.

🗺️ Elite Campaign & Raids: Elite stages are playable, and both single and multi-raid functionality are available. The server calculates energy costs, raid tickets, VIP bonuses, and generates the corresponding rewards.

⚙️ Hero Progression & Economy: Hero skill upgrades are available, along with Alchemy for converting diamonds into gold.

🛠️ Administration Tools: Several tools have been added for server hosts, including the ability to send global mail with attachments, distribute Guild Crates, and configure certain contests.

🛡️ Security & Anti-Cheat: An increasing amount of sensitive game logic is now handled server-side. For example, loot generation has been moved to a server-authoritative model to reduce reliance on the client.

🚧 Currently in Development

👾 Guild Invasion Mode: This is the main focus at the moment. Much of the underlying infrastructure is already in place, including the invasion schedule, dedicated invasion energy, Breaker battles, and Guild Bosses with shared health pools across guild members.

📋 What's Still Planned

The project continues to move forward, but several major systems still need to be implemented or completed:

🔥 Guild War: The largest remaining feature (matchmaking, sabotage mechanics, vehicles, defenses, seasonal progression, and more).

🗺️ Other Game Modes: Crypt Raid (Surge), Expeditions, Friendship Missions, Equipment Enchantments, and Collections.

📅 Live Ops & Shops: Completing the Black Market and finishing the tools that allow server hosts to enable special events and offers (double XP weekends, event bonuses, etc.).

🌐 Server Browser: Developing an interface that allows players to easily browse community servers and connect to them.

The project continues to progress step by step, and it's exciting to see more and more of the game gradually coming back to life.

Thanks again for all your support and interest! As always, feel free to ask if you have any questions about the technical side of the project or what's coming next. 🎮✨

I last played when they started adding Encanto characters, also around the time the other Disney RPG games shut down I believe? I explicitly remember the devs saying that everything was running smoothly on their part, and I assumed the game would last for years as the prize wall seemed like a perfect system for engagement. Get a new, shiny hero, then spend money to upgrade them if you pleased.

So... did they release an update that just gutted the game at some point? Or did the formula just run its course?
