Gamevil, the company behind Zenonia and Hybrid: Eternal Whisper, have released a new teaser trailer for their upcoming action RPG Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers for the iPhone. The company has requested beta testers for final testing of the game.
We were actually able to get a brief sneak peek at the game at CES 2010, and see it for ourselves. The video only provides hints of the actual gameplay. Most striking about the game is the ink and wash graphics style which is present throughout.
The actual game is somewhat hard to describe but revolves around action/fighting in a scrolling environment. It shares a similar engine to Hybrid but is described as much more casual fighting/gaming experience.
It’s hard to come up with much of an opinion of the gameplay with only brief hands on time with it, but what I took away most was that the game has a striking visual appearance and somewhat satisfying battle experience. Controls were typical joypad/button combos and involved riding a horse while dispatching enemies. Very brief battle clips are shown in the teaser video above. We’ll have more information on this as it becomes available and as we are able to spend more time with it.
