Striker Arena is a violent tribal football game coming to iPad later this year
Crush and score
Tokyo-based developer Wizcorp has announced Striker Arena for iPad later this year.
It's a violent 3D football game set on a distant planet where ancient tribes (that look a lot like vikings) settle their differences with "Soccer of the Gods".
"Once every ten years, tribes gather in the Striker Arena tournament to battle each other under the authority of their Emperor. Each tribe enlists the bravest and fiercest of their kin to fight for glory," it reads on the Striker Arena website.
You'll be tasked with choosing a side to play or, um, fight for, and then have to try to "crush" your opponent to become the new Emperor.
I'm getting the vibe that this is more of a real-time sports game as opposed to a turn-based one like Blood Bowl. But I could be very wrong on that.
Despite all the threats of violence, Striker Arena has a charming appearance...those warriors are actually quite cute.
There are few more details known about the game at the moment. However, Wizcorp has released a teaser trailer for the game that you can watch above.
Striker Arena will be coming to iPad in "late 2014".
