Ærena – Clash of Champions, a new tactical game hits the Play Store

ÆRENA: Clash of Champions is a band new tactical / strategy multiplayer game coming from Cliffhanger Productions, the same developer that launched a successful kickstart campaign for their other upcoming title Shadowrun Online.

Set in a steampunk universe, ÆRENA: Clash of Champions puts two players and their teams of champions head-to-head on the battlefield ships floating high above the clouds. Since this is a team-based combat, there is no single “best” strategy that can be used over and over. Instead, players will have to take different approach based on their team layout, support ships and their equipped gear (Æther shells).

The gameplay is turn-based, but matches are dynamic and each session will last no longer than 10 minutes. Player characters can earn experience and levels that unlock unique rewards, while their roosters can be upgraded with better champions and ships purchasable from the store. The game also features a “rotating cast” of champions and ships accessible by all, where players can purchase their favorites and add them to their rosters permanently after trying them out for free.

Ærena Clash of Champion is available on Android and Steam (early access), while iOS users will have to wait a bit longer. The link leading to the Play Store is live and the game can be downloaded for free as long as you own an Android device running Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) or later.
