Gamevil romances the three kingdoms in iPhone RPG Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers
We shall avenge the nation from above
Korean mobile developer Gamevil is undoubtedly becoming the king of iPhone RPGs, having seen great success with Zenonia and recently announcing its multiplayer sequel.
Over on its own forums, Gamevil has just announced its latest entry into the action RPG genre with a new iPhone game called Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers.
Besides its sensational "ink and wash" art style (the App Store badly needs more games with distinct graphical style) there really hasn't been all that much revealed about Vanquish.

Judging by the title and the teaser images Gamevil has released, however, this looks like it's almost definitely a game set within the lore of the 14th Century work of Chinese literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The chap on horseback appears to be Guan Yu, sporting his massive and fearsome guan dao weapon (the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, as he called it).
The story follows Guan Yu, Lei Bei and Zhang Fei as they swear an oath to lead China's armies and protect the country from invasion, which fits the title of Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers quite snugly.
You might also know the story - in one form or another - from Koei's Dynasty Warriors games, and the recent Red Cliff films by John Woo.
Anyway, if anyone can bring the massive Chinese epic to iPhone, it's Gamevil. Check out the teaser trailer below, and stay tuned for more Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers news as it comes in.
