Indie developer Akashan Games launched its first title Elder Towers on
Google Play Store. Elder Towers is a deck-building RTS/RPG game heavily
inspired by the old titles Magic: the Gathering – Shandalar and
Sacrifice. Defying the common trend of casual simple gameplay on mobile,
the game is instead aimed at hardcore gamers who would enjoy a serious
strategy game. Elder Towers offers the strategical complexity of a
deck-building collectible card game, and translates the deep game
mechanism into intuitive fast-paced gameplay with exciting visuals.
Features:
•TCG game mechanisms realized in real-time 3D environment
•Free-roaming single-player campaign
•Multiplayer duel
•160 mind-boggling spells
•104 summoned units, fully animated 3D characters
•3 character classes with powerful class-specific feats
•Fast-paced gameplay designed for 5~10 minute matches
Like Sacrifice, the game is a third-person view RTS where you summon
creatures to fight for you, and cast a variety of spells to support
them. However unit micro-management is taken out in order to allow the
players to focus on other aspects of the game. The players get to choose
their summons from a large pool of attacker units, defender units,
bodyguards units, etc, of varying costs, strength, and special
abilities. All those units fight autonomously according to their AI
types.
Like Magic: the Gathering – Shandalar, the players are given a very
limited set of spells at the beginning of the game, and shall gradually
collect more and better spells, summons, artifacts and special feats, as
they brave through the free-roaming game world. They shall test their
decks against many different opponents, while they keep on hunting for
new spells and improving the decks.
Elder Towers is released as a free-to-play game with most of the
contents offered for free, including the full single-player campaign and
cross-platform online duel. Some of the game contents are to be bought
as in-app purchases.
The game is now available on Google Play Store for Android. The iOS
version is pending for Apple approval and will soon be available as
well.
