We learnt about Terra Battle a few months ago after it was announced Mistwalker, the games studio created by the father of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, would be working on the tactical title for mobile devices. We’re now past the September release window that was originally stated in the announcement, but Mistwalker has today announced that Terra Battle will be officially released on October 9th for Android and iOS devices. The tactics game happens in 2D and is all about position, as this appears to be the only way that damage can be dealt. Check out this short gameplay clip to get a taste of what that looks like:
It doesn’t look like it’s going to be everybody’s cup of tea, but it appears Mistwalker is pretty confident its fanbase are going to love it. So much so that they have subscribed to a crowdfunding-like system called “Download Starter” which allows them to release more content as more people download the game. At 2 million downloads, a console version of the game will be developed, and Mistwalker vehemently affirms that the console version won’t just be a port. It is mentioned that there will be over 150 characters for players to choose from, but whether all 150 are available on launch, or if they will be trickled out as part of the Download Starter hasn’t been specified. The game will be available for free with in-app purchases available.
