Build a team, fight in turn-based battles in Transformers: Battle Tactics, coming out in 2015
Autobots assemble
DeNA and Hasbro have announced Transformers: Battle Tactics today. It'll be free to play and is coming to iOS and Android in 2015.
As the title suggests, Battle Tactics is a fast-paced, turn-based combat game.
It has a cartoon-look to it, which you may recognize as being based upon the Transformers Generations Combiner Wars comic books.
Central to constructing winning tactics is building a team of fighters in Battle Tactics. Good job that there are over 75 Decepticons and Autobots for you to recruit, then.
Oh, and before you ask: yes, of course Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and Bumblebee are all included.
Each Transformer has a unique set of stats for you to take into consideration when taking your turn. Looking at the screenshots, it seems that you'll have to weigh up numbers to find the most effective move.
Having the numbers on screen at all times is handy for other reasons too. You see, the stats of your units shift when you transform them between humanoid and vehicular states. Pretty neat.
As well as a story-driven single-player campaign, Battle Tactics has a real-time online PvP mode for you to test your skills in. There are also leaderboards to add to the competition.
You can pre-register for updates and to unlock in-game content over on the Transformers: Battle Tactics website.
