Heavenstrike Rivals is a real-time strategy mobile game that will be launching soon. Not deterred by the Western gamer’s general apathy for the mobile games market, Square Enix have uploaded a “first look” video for the game, which has an introduction by the publisher-developer’s Masanori Ichikawa and Mediatonic’s Paul Croft.

Croft says the free-to-play game combines elements of “both Eastern and Western game design”. The video’s description provides a few more details:

Game Features:

• Battle against players across the world in real time in simple yet deep tactical battles, built especially for mobile devices
• Collect and train over 200 fully-animated units
• Embark on an epic quest across Lunnain to save the legendary Seven Sisters
• Climb the Sacred League to earn epic rewards
• Take part in regular events and weekend Arena competitions
• Features characters designed by Ryoma Ito (FINAL FANTASY TACTICS ADVANCE) and music by Ryo Yamazaki (FINAL FANTASY XIV)
• Platforms: iOS, Android (Android 4.0.3 and above)
• Languages: English
• Price: Free (with in-app purchases)
