Get ready to put those toy soldiers to work as Mini Guns, a real-time multiplayer game, is getting ready to go out of soft launch and bring its battles globally on August 31st. As we wrote about last month, Mini Guns will definitely remind you of Clash Royale, but that’s not a bad thing since Clash Royale mechanics are fun. As you can see in the trailer below, Action Points build up over time, and you use them to unleash all kinds of toy soldier-inspired units on your opponent. The game has over a hundred units including infantry, warplanes, sonic tanks, drones, and more, and—as you should expect by now—all these units can be upgraded. Just like Clash Royale, you will get cards as rewards, and those will either give you new units or let you upgrade your existing ones. I’m sorry if any of you was hoping we wouldn’t get those kinds of free-to-play mechanics; they are pretty much here to stay.
Speaking of free-to-play ideas, the game lets you either create or join an Alliance, which allows you to offer Minis to each other and more easily complete your collection. The game does offer cooperative multiplayer, which is always fun, and it also offers single player campaigns, which are always welcome. The game will offer cross-platform play between iOS, Android, and Facebook, so finding opponents shouldn’t be an issue. Mini Guns will go global August 31st, and it might be a fun real-time strategy game to check out.
