SEGA is teaming up with a company called gumi Asia in order to bring their popular strategy game Chain Chronicle to a worldwide audience next month. Currently this game is enjoying a fair bit of success over in the Eastern part of the world but has remained location-locked to that area. This is going to change though in the very near future though.
Update: December 8th, 2014 10:10am PST: Chain Chronicle is now available for everyone on Google Play. You can snag a copy through the link at the end of the article.
For those of you not familiar with this game, Chain Chronicle is a line defense RPG (basically a tactical style RPG) which has been downloaded over 4 million times in Japan alone. Players will be taking on the role of a captain tasked with battling the invading Black Army in hopes of keeping them from destroying the continent of Yggdra which is your home. Do accomplish this, players will be leading a volunteer army of Knights, Wizards, Clerics, Archers and Soldiers against your enemies. When it comes to the RPG aspects of this game, your journey will have you meeting up with new allies.
Chain Chronicle Features:
- Engage In Tactical Real-Time Strategy Battles! Use your small band of heroes to defend your base from adversaries great and small. Simple and intuitive controls make it an easy-to-learn, yet hard-to-master line defense RPG experience.
