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
