League of War Franchise Coming to PS4 VR
August 15, in the year of our Lord 2017 –
MunkyFun, a San Francisco-based independent game developer,
today revealed it is bringing its League of War strategy game
franchise to PlayStation®VR exclusively with the new arena-based
arcade war game, League of War: VR Arena. In the action-oriented
strategy game built from the ground up to create a powerful VR
experience, players will fight short, intense battles against
human or AI opponents, vying to lead their side to victory by
physically placing and aiming units on the arena battlefield to
destroy the opposing army’s towers and base.
League of War: VR Arena, each army has 12 units including tanks,
flamethrowers, helicopters and commanders, of which four are
randomly available at any one time. Each unit requires energy to
deploy, with more powerful units requiring more energy and
taking longer to charge up. Using Move controllers, players will
directly place and aim their units at the opponent—with the
opponent doing the same in real time—as if they were a
giant-sized general overseeing a virtual battlefield. The winner
is the first player to destroy the opposing base to claim
victory.
“League of War: VR Arena is designed to be a powerful experience
that puts players in charge of a high tech, aggressive army on a
living, tabletop-style battlefield,” said Nick Pavis, CEO and
Co-Founder of MunkyFun, Inc.
“As you throw your units into battle, strategically choosing
between quick strikes and slower but more powerful units, your
opponent does the same, creating a pulse-pounding mix of
strategy and action that is highly engaging on PlayStation VR.”
The game features both a single player Campaign mode and an
Arcade mode where players face off head-to-head via the game’s
Social Screen interface and build their own custom armies.
Controls are highly intuitive and direct with the PS VR
hardware—grab a unit and throw it on the battlefield! The pace
is quick, and action is intense and the fun only stops to give
you a chance to catch your breath before the next battle.
Regardless of whether the opponent is human or silicon-based,
the game thrives on a simple to play, difficult to master
mantra. Should you wait for a powerful tank to charge, or
immediately attack with an inexpensive recon unit that can
distract the enemy while you prepare your big move? Should you
deploy a helicopter to attack infantry, or wait to pair it with
artillery for a more effective combo attack? These are the
choices desktop generals will make in League of War: VR Arena!
Developed and published by MunkyFun, League of War: VR Arena
will be exclusively released for PlayStation®VR early this fall,
with more details revealed in the near future. This game has
been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB.
No word on a physical copy version of this game at this time.
