[UPDATE] Turn-based spin-off El Shaddai Social Battle heading to GREE in Japan
Don't Enoch it just yet
Back in September 2011, we got word that a mobile version of El Shaddai was on its way over to Android.
Alas, it seems our prediction that "some elements of the [console] game will be changed for its mobile incarnation" was an understatement.
El Shaddai Social Battle takes the original's side-scrolling 2D action, throws it away, and returns clutching the body of a social game instead.
You are my angelRather than ask you to leg it about, killing fallen angels in a starkly beautiful fashion, El Shaddai Social Battle sees you forming a team of three holy beings and fighting it out in turn-based battles as you climb a mighty tower.
Stopping you from reaching your goal are groups of other angels, with the game focusing on teamwork to overcome these holy obstacles.
The title will be released on GREE in Japan later in the year. There's no word on if the game will get a western release just yet, but we'll keep you posted.
