Press release:
Prepare your spells, gather your troops: the Rifts have opened; riches and glory wait for Linkers like you, brave enough to explore the infinite dimensions!
Brilliant Games and Hex Entertainment are today very happy to announce that their new digital card game “Red and Blue“, a groundbreaking strategy game that will shake the foundations of the genre, is now available on Android. The iOS release date will be announced in the coming days.
In Red and Blue, you play as one of the adventurers of Babel, the Last City — the last safe haven in a world torn asunder by unleashed magical energies. Suddenly, a Rift in reality to unknown dimensions opened in your world. Adventurers — be it glory seekers or just people desperate enough with nothing to lose — decided to cross this new frontier looking for glory, power, and knowledge, even if that meant fighting each other…
The core gameplay of Red and Blue will look familiar to players: two heroes, facing each other in the battlefield with creatures, spells and magical artifacts. But Red and Blue brings new layers of strategic depth to the table thanks to its area-based gameplay. You can learn more details about the game on its official website, where Brilliant Games has been publishing dev blogs for the last weeks.
Each players’ board is divided into three areas where troops can be positioned separately – in order to reach the hero, they will have to overcome their opponent’s defenses in the same area. Also, areas can be upgraded to become more powerful temples which will be able to sustain more troops, as well as mined with traps and empowered with special artifacts.
Thus, careful positioning and clever use of traps, items and counterspells will be of vital importance, creating a never-seen-before gameplay experience for Red and Blue.
On top of the fast-paced, combat-focused strategic gameplay, Red and Blue will offer endless fun with its deep deck building.
With more than 750 cards included in its first release, 12 races of creatures, traps, artifacts and spells, the pool of possibilities for players to create a deck that matches their playstyle perfectly, or that adapts to their adversaries’ weaknesses, is simply infinite. Red and Blue will also include several game modes since its first release – stay tuned for more details about its gameplay, features and fantasy setting in the coming weeks!
