Okay, I’m actually excited about this one, and hopefully I won’t be proven wrong. Krosmaster: Arena is now officially on Steam, and the mobile version should follow in the (hopefully) near future. If you don’t know anything about Krosmaster: Arena, it’s a tactical card game with anime-style miniatures that has been quite popular recently. The online version of the game offers more than 130 figurines, from which you can pick your team, and 4 game modes including PvE, PvP, and international tournament. I’ve seen the board game played and it looked both gorgeous and a lot of fun, so I have been waiting to get the digital version on my tablet. Well, it seems the wait has almost come to an end and that the game will be worth the wait. Developer Ankama announced yesterday that the game is now officially out of beta, and it’s ready to test your strategic skills.
In addition to offering the 130 virtual figurines, each with his or her own abilities, the game offers six worlds with six levels each (so hopefully plenty of level variety). The game seems to be built around competitiveness since it offers a very robust cross-platform multiplayer mode, tournaments, and ranked seasons. Between the emphasis on PvP (but with a very robust PvE too) and on collecting figurines, this game should be perfect for those who like CCGs. As far as I know, the game will be free to download, and the various figurines will come in packs and boxes; in other words, very similar to monetization models of games like Hearthstone. We don’t have a release date for the tablet version, but the developers mentioned that the tablet version keeps getting better and will soon reach a whole new level. Hopefully that’s dev speak for ‘game should be coming soon.’
