Square Enix shows off Armor Blitz, a new game being developed within the Square Enix Collective program

Published on Monday, 17 August 2015 12:21

Square Enix has been running a new program lately called the Square Enix Collective program which is basically the company's third-party promotional arm. Square Enix provides indie developers various support while they developer their games. Today they are showing off a rather interesting Anime-style game called Armor Blitz.

Armor Blitz features Anime-style art along with anthropomorphized tanks, mechs, anime women, and big guns. Pretty much anime tank girls, literally, since the tanks take the form of these anime characters with tank pieces. Players will assemble a squad of these tank girls before taking them into battle in lane-based combat against the forces of the Corruption. You'll have a force of tanks, commanded by said tank girls, which you will be issuing commands to in order to take out your enemies.

The storyline in Armor Blitz is actually pretty interesting. Without diving into too much detail and spoiling it, weapons in past battles that end up being discarded have their souls leave, arriving into the world of Armor Blitz, a sort of haven for the weapon souls. These souls take on the form of anthropomorphized tanks, living in peace until recently when a new evil force called The Corruption has started taking over.

Before heading into battle, players will organize their forces in an almost deck-building style of gameplay. Once you've set up your little army of tanks, you'll start the battle with a random 'hand' of your cards. From there you drag the card you want to play onto the field where it will deploy that unit. Combat, however, is all in real-time and is not turn-based like a TCG usually is. In fact you actually have fully animated units on the playing field. The only time you deal with cards is when summoning a new unit.

Armor Blitz Features:

- Unique Collectible Characters: Each character you encounter throughout the game is carefully designed with their own history.
- Strategic Real-time Combat: We utilize a mixture of traditional collectible card game mechanics with real time combat. Manage your army both on AND off the battlefield.
- Take Control of the Battlefield: Use abilities, call in reinforcements, and carefully deploy your tanks to yield victory.
- Anime Inspired Art: We have Japanese and Korean artists producing authentic pieces for the game.
- Engrossing Storyline: The story is funny, engaging and impressionable. Spot the small Easter eggs throughout and watch the world of Armor Blitz unfold!

Right now Armor Blitz is currently in development, being labeled as an Alpha right now in regards to the single-player content. No word on how finished the multiplayer gameplay is. There is still a fair amount of work to be done though which is why there is no specific release date right now. However, they are planning to have it released sometimes early next year. The developers are looking to start a crowd funding campaign soon for additional funds. We will post an update once that goes live.
