What Hiro is

Hiro is a client-server library built on Nakama for adding economy, social, and LiveOps systems to games. Economy features include rewards, virtual stores, rewarded video ads, inventory, virtual wallets, and reward buckets. Game teams can also use store bundles, personalization, experiments, and scheduled live events. Social tools include event leaderboards, player donations, and teams or guilds built on Nakama Groups. Hiro requires a Nakama server. Client options include a C# library for Unity, a C++/Unreal plugin, a TypeScript package for web games, a Godot GDScript asset, and a server package. The Unity SDK can use cached data for achievements, energy, inventory, and events while offline, then synchronize when connectivity returns. Documented integrations include Facebook, Google, Apple, Satori, Firebase, GameAnalytics, Smartlook, and Unity Purchasing. Heroic Labs provides server binaries, client SDKs, a project license key, and dedicated engineering support; Hiro is available exclusively from Heroic Labs. Heroic Labs says Heroic Cloud data is encrypted at rest, connections use TLS 1.2 or higher, and the service is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
