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)

Heavenstrike Rivals was originally slated for a Winter release, but Ichikawa now says it will be available in Spring.
