Gumi, the popular mobile game studio has joined forces with SEGA Networks to bring Chain Chronicle to North America, Europe and other markets for iOS and Android.
Chain Chronicle is a popular line defense role-playing game in Japan, where it has been downloaded over four million times since launching for iOS and Android on July 26, 2013. The US version of Chain Chronicle will be coming on December 8, 2014.
In Chain Chronicle, you play as a captain that is charged with battling the invading Black Army so they don't destroy the continent of Yggdra, which I have no idea how to pronounce. You gather an army of Knights, Wizards, Archers, Clerics and Soldiers with different skills and tales. Game features include:
- Engage In Tactical Real-Time Strategy Battles! Use your small band of heroes to defend your base from adversaries great and small. Simple and intuitive controls make it an easy-to-learn, yet hard-to-master line defense RPG experience.
- Recruit 150 Or More Allies With A Variety Of Abilities! Command and unleash the full potential of your Soldiers, Archers, Knights, Clerics and Wizards.
- Experience New and Wondrous Adventures With Your Allies! Those you meet and bond with will unlock new ally stories and real-time RPG battles in various exotic locations. It’s up to you to forge your own chronicle!
- Unlock Artwork By Japan’s Top Artists! All of Chain Chronicle’s unit portraits are elaborately drawn and portrayed in card form, illustrated by the best artists in the anime, manga and video game industries. Standouts include toi8 (Fullmetal Alchemist), HACCAN (Mushihimesama, Avalon Code), and Wadaaruko (Black Rock Shooter).
- Discover High-Profile Voice Actors Living Out This Epic Tale! Hear the lovely and talented voicework of notable Japanese voice actors, such as: Akira Ishida (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Maaya Uchida (Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live), Ayane Sakura (Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live), and Kotori Koiwai (Joshiraku).
