Donald Duck is getting his own card-battling RPG with Disney's The Duckforce Rises

Disney has surprised us all with a new mobile game on the way called The Duckforce Rises.

It's a card-battling RPG featuring Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck that's currently in soft-launch in New Zealand and Australian App Store.

The idea is to do turn-based battle against villains to protect Duckburg - a town where all the Disney ducks live (Huey, Dewey, and Louis, as well as Daisy, Donald, and Scrooge).

Some of those villains include Magica De Spell, Valkyrie Duck, and the Beagle Boys. There are also beasts and aliens pulled from the outer reaches of the Disney universe.

Characters have abilities determined by their own cards such as Uncle Scrooge's boastful "Richer Than You" card that raises his attack power.

Gyro Gearloose (Disney's inventor chicken) will also appear during battles, apparently creating health packs and teleporting you to new battles.

There's a Hero Manager to consult between battles where you can upgrade character cards and unlock new characters. Are there in-app purchases here? You bet.

We'll keep an eye on The Duckforce Rises and let you know when it launches globally. For now, it can be downloaded for free on the App Store with a New Zealand or Australian account.
