Deckbuilder ‘City Wars: Tokyo Reign’ Gets A New Name And Overview Trailer

Last year we shared details of Chrono Trigger, a deckbuilding roguelike from Mojo Bones, the developers of excellent 3DS eShop title Siesta Fiesta. It’s now changed name to City Wars: Tokyo Reign, and has an extensive overview trailer that highlights how it’ll work.

As you can see it has its own spin on the genre, opting for a timeline UI approach and a battlefield that evolves and keeps you on your toes; it’ll also have over 140 cards to obtain and will be a premium title (not free-to-play with microtransactions).

– STRATEGY MEETS ACTION A fresh take on a classic genre. Dynamic track-based battlefield where tactile mechanics meet turn-based card battling.
FROM BEGINNER TO WINNER CITY WAR’S rules can be learned in minutes, opening the doors for players of all ages and skill levels. Strong customisation and a complex meta provide long-term depth, making it much harder to master.
ENDLESS CHOICE Design your own COMBAT CASE from over 140 CARDS (across 5 categories), 20 GUNS (with stat modifiers) and over 25 CHARMS (each with battle-altering perks).
DISTRICT RUN A deep Roguelike single-player mode where you’ll build a collection, make key decisions and battle across 5 procedurally generated Districts. Will you survive the elusive SHADOW DISTRICT and conquer the city?
DISTRICT WAR A competitive online multiplayer experience where you’ll test your COMBAT CASE against other players from across the globe. Can you raise your BOUNTY high enough to become the city’s most wanted?
WAYS TO PLAY Casual and competitive multiplayer. Battle online or utilise CITY WAR’S unique design to fight locally.

It has a Steam page already ahead of an upcoming beta, and is still also coming to the Switch.

Let us know what you think; is this on your radar for Switch?
