Duty of Heroes is a light RPG and barely there MMO set in a generic fantasy world complete with Merlin, beautiful boobilicious elves, barely dressed female characters, orcs, undead and cherry-on-topped with poor localization.

As the network for gamers on YouTube, we’re always looking for ways to help our community partners thrive online! Any YouTube gamer will tell you, success comes down to a few fundamentals.

The Underworld Ascendant team has released a brand new video to show off the Improvisation Engine that is being used in the game. With this engine mechanic in place, players are given the ultimate choice to interact with the world in a truly meaningful way.
