DeNA (2432)

Puzzle Sentai DENA Ranger パズル戦隊デナレンジャー (iOS/Android) – fall 2014

Genre and official site:
Puzzle – website

Comment:
First shown during Tokyo Game Show 2014, DeNA has now started a bizarre pre-registration campaign (which features a bearded and hairy foreign man wearing a bikini – you read that right) for its new puzzle game. The promotion does make sense in a way, as Puzzle Sentai is supposed to be whimsical: players take on the role of a “DENA Ranger” who needs to battle bad guys by solving puzzles. The heroes get stronger after clearing stages, moving from one place on a Japan map to the other and also learn new skills along the way.

JK Vampire – Unmei No Festa JKヴァンパイア~運命のフェスタ~ (iOS/Android) – fall 2014

Genre and official site:
simulation – website

Comment:
In this fantasy sim, players take on the role of a teacher in a high school attended by female students with magical powers. At the beginning of the game, users receive an “egg” that has to be evolved into a student over time: depending on the actions of the players and how they communicate with their character, she can turn into a nurse after graduation, a celebrity or (the ultimate goal) a “princess”. DeNA says one selling point of JK Vampire is that pro voice actresses will be used to make the communication part more realistic.

Nanatsu No Daizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) 七つの大罪 (iOS/Android) – beginning of 2015

Genre and official site:
RPG – website

Comment:
DeNA is preparing the first game based on “The Seven Deadly Sins”, a manga series that started in Japan in 2012. As to be expected, it will use the same setting and characters as the manga. DeNA is already accepting pre-registrations for the app, which is announced as a “battle RPG” and likely to be distributed through the Mobage platform. Osaka-based Racjin is handling development.

GREE (3632)

Log Horizon ログ・ホライズン (iOS/Android) – winter 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – website

Comment:
GREE has secured the right to turn popular Japanese novel/manga/anime series Log Horizon into a mobile game. According to GREE, fans can expect the title to make use of the same setting and characters – but the goal is to also introduce new characters and tell a story that’s written specifically for the game. Further details are scarce at this point, but it seems that Log Horizon will be heavy on battles and use a guild system as the main social element.

Genre and official site:

Comment:

Naruto – Shinobi Collection Shippuranbu ナルト- 忍コレクション 疾風乱舞 (iOS/Android) – coming soon

Genre and official site:
Action – website

Comment:
Not to be confused with a prior GREE title with a very similar name, this Naruto game is announced as an endless runner. GREE says players will be able to choose between several characters from the popular Naruto manga series and use “ninja attacks” to battle bosses along the way. Unlike other classic manga and anime series like Gundam or One Piece, for example, companies have struggled to turn the Naruto IP into a successful mobile game so far. “Naruto – Shinobi Collection Shippuranbu” is co-developed by Crooz.

This strategy game was announced as a “surprise” in GungHo’s latest financial report. The company’s first description in English states: “Break enemy’s fortress to get the treasure.Take and be taken, and then build the strongest fortress!” Bagoon is currently being developed at GungHo subsidiary Acquire (which also plans to release the game for PS Vita this winter).

LINE Trio LINE トリオ (iOS/Android) – winter 2014

Genre and official site:
puzzle game – website

LINE Albion Senki LINE アルビオン戦記 (iOS/Android) – fall 2014

Genre and official site:
Strategy/RPG – website

Comment:
LINE continues to move into the midcore segment with LINE Albion, which will be the first strategy/RPG hybrid (“simulation” in Japanese) game to hit the messenger app. Developed by Korea’s YD Online, the title will let users choose one of five different hero characters at the start. The goal is then to assemble and equip a party and move from stage to stage by clearing battles and increasing the characters’ stats. LINE says that there will be raid boss battles each weekend that will reward successful users with special items. LINE Albion will come a chat function, but other than that, it’s not clear yet which other social features players can expect.

Note: LINE Corp. is not yet listed but will (probably) be next year.

CyberAgent (4751)

Mogura 『土竜(もぐら)』(iOS, Android) – October 2014

Genre and official site:
Puzzle – website

Comment:
Mogura is an interesting take on the ubiquitous match-3 puzzle genre: it mixes the usual mechanics from those games with mahjong. Players move from stage to stage on a Japan map by beating rivals. Pre-registration has already started.

School Fanfare スクールファンファーレ (iOS/Android) – winter 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – website

Comment:
Planned for release on CyberAgent’s mobile Ameba service, School Fanfare is not a typical RPG offering a dramatic story or monster fights. Instead, players are supposed to choose a schoolgirl of their liking and try to train her on the way to becoming a famous singer. CyberAgent has hired famous Japanese illustrators and musicians to help create the game. The company tries to appeal to a similar user base as School Idol Live from KLab or School Girl Strikers from Square Enix.

Royal Flush Heroes ロイヤルフラッシュヒーローズ (iOS/Android) – 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – website

Comment:
Royal Flush Heroes will mix poker mechanics with a 3D battle RPG. During battles, players must find the ideal formation by arranging a total of ten different characters on a map. Details on what role exactly the poker elements will play are scarce at this point, other that they will be used during battle scenes. In other words, Royal Flush Heroes is another hybrid casino game, a popular sub genre in Japan (see here).

“Roguelike RPG” (iOS/Android) – 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – website

Comment:
CyberAgent says that with this yet to be named “Roguelike RPG”, they are trying to appeal to fans of classic RPGs. The game will be set in “medieval Europe” but also allow the characters to travel through time to enter new dungeons (which, as usual, are generated randomly). In the first version, players can expect up to 100 characters and will be able to choose between eight different jobs (knight, monk, lancer, etc.). The game will be presented in portrait mode, allowing for one-finger control at all times.

Mixi (2121)

Monster Stadium ンスト モスタジアム (iOS/Android) – TBA

Genre and official site:
TBA

Comment:
Monster Stadium was teased in Mixi’s latest financial report as a “new project” that builds upon the popularity of Monster Strike, the company’s mega hit RPG. Gameplay details are being kept secret for now, but comments from Mixi suggest Monster Stadium will focus more on battles between players – which is interesting, as Monster Strike itself doesn’t offer a PvP mode. Mixi apparently tries to replicate the strategy of GungHo Online Entertainment (3765) whose mega hit Puzzle & Dragons was followed by spin-off app called Puzzle & Dragons Challenge last year.

Comment:
This will be the first mobile game (apart from the Vita title) based on the popular light novel and anime series Sword Art Online, which takes place in various MMORPG worlds. Code Register will use the same settings and characters and focus on the battles. The big selling point here is the hit IP, Bandai Namco’s specialty when it comes to making mobile games. gumi is co-developing.

Sega Networks / Sega (6460)

Squads – Saikyou No Kizuna スカッズ ~最凶の絆~ (iOS/Android) – fall 2014

Genre and official site:

Comment:
There is a surprisingly large number of “gangster simulation” games available on smartphones in Japan (i.e. from Sega or Konami). For Squads, Sega is collaborating with publishing company Akita Shoten to create the story and a total of 200 “criminal characters” for the first version of the app. The company calls the game a battle RPG – but again, there are a lot of these apps out there already.

Dragon Parade ドラゴンパレード (iOS/Android) – winter 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – site not yet available

Comment:
Dragon Parade was first unveiled in the latest earnings report of Axel Mark (3624) as a “mystery release”, causing the company’s share price to spike a day later (Axel Mark is co-developing). During a press conference in September 2014, Sega detailed that the game will be an action RPG with a heavy focus on battles and communication between users. Gameplay footage can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube right from the app. Axel Mark and Sega Networks plan to release Dragon Parade in Japan and worldwide.

Hortensia Saga – Ao No Kishidan オルタンシア・サーガ -蒼の騎士団- (iOS/Android) – winter 2014

Genre and official site:
RPG – site not yet available

Comment:
First unveiled in September 2014, Hortensia Saga is meant to be a quasi follow-up to Sega Networks’ super hit Chain Chronicle. The company says that Hortensia Saga tries to differentiate itself from other RPGs through a deep story and its multi-player mode that lets players fight in 20 vs. 20 guild battles against each other, in real-time. What may sound impressive to non-Japanese ears has actually been done many times before in this country – but the app’s high production value (more impressions here), some gameplay features too detailed to mention here and Sega’s branding power could help make Hortensia Saga a hit.

Genre and official site:

Comment:
This is the follow up to one of Square Enix’ earliest mobile-only hits, “Diffusion One Million Arthur” (which never made it outside Japan and Korea). Just like the predecessor, Kairi Sei is a quest-based RPG that was designed for smartphones from scratch. Early information and material from the game suggests that Square has de-emphasized the card element in favor or a more traditional battle system and drastically increased production value (voice acting, theme song, etc.). The company has just started accepting pre-registrations.

Square Enix says that players can expect a totally new story and setting, with characters from previous Final Fantasy games. According to developer Alim, the goal is not just to offer a Final Fantasy-skinned Brave Frontier, but the first screenshots do indicate a strong similarity (and the game’s title is unfortunate in this sense, too).

The screen is split in half with the lower bottom showing the slot machine and the top half showing the adventure and action part. Users must spin the reel to kill monsters and earn coins that are needed to continue playing. New stages and equipment can be unlocked by killing boss characters.

Age of Empires: World Domination is the mobile version of Microsoft’s popular Age Of Empires PC game franchise. KLab will produce and distribute the app worldwide. The company pushed back the release date twice, first from summer to fall 2014, then again to 2015, saying it needs more time to increase quality. KLab’s stock price spiked when the company announced the Microsoft deal in June 2013.

Genre and website:

Comment:
First teased in KLab’s Q3 FY2014 financial report, this yet to be named title will be based on Glee, the musical comedy/drama TV series that’s popular around the world. KLab says it will use the IP for a music game (which makes sense) that will offer characters and the setting from the series. The company hopes that it can build on the experience it gained with its mega hit “Love Live”, a music game that is heavy on story and characters. As of now, the plan is to release the Glee game worldwide with the start of season 6 of the TV series, likely around September 2015.

Comment:
Marvelous isn’t exactly known for sports games, but the company has acquired the rights for a basketball management simulation that features all of the NBA’s 30 teams and 500 players (including several retired star players). What’s interesting is that a US or European release hasn’t been announced yet. Instead, the game will be released in Japan in November first, followed by other Asian countries like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others later.

Comment:
Dragon Spin Z is a mix between RPG and social casino (slot) game and a co-production between mobcast’s Japan and Korea offices. The plan is to distribute Dragon Spin Z in Asia, including China, which should be the case after the Japan launch. I covered mobile social casino hybrids in Japan here. Most have failed, but this one has a big selling point: the producer is legendary creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi (ex-Sega, see below).

During its Q3 FY2014 earnings call, Mobcast explained that users can expect a “mysterious puzzle game” (direct translation) that will blend a story line, puzzle mechanics, and battle RPG elements. Using Mizuguchi’s background and star power, “18 (Eighteen)” will be released by Mobcast worldwide.

Comment:
After Capcom cloned Candy Crush with Snoopy Drops just a few weeks ago, it’s now Puzzle & Dragons‘ turn. Just like with the GungHo game, the screen splits in half: while the puzzle action takes place on the bottom, the top shows the RPG part. If the player pulls off a combo, their Street Fighter character attacks the enemy with a special skill. Capcom says that the game will include a number of Street Fighter characters, just in cute form, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and even Akuma.

Comment:
This will be the latest entry in Koei Tecmo’s Nobunyaga “franchise”: the word Nobunyaga is a pun on the samurai Nobunaga – the “nya” indicates the character is a cat. As the title indicates, Guru Guru will be a dungeon RPG. Koei Tecmo says the game will have “slot battle mechanics” and use GPS, meaning users can get characters for the game based on where they play in real life.

Comment:
Prism Fantasia is an action RPG in full 3D that will be easy to control, according to Aeria. The first screenshots look a bit dull and there are many games like this out there, but that might change until release. In September 2014, Aeria announced that Prism Fantasia will be released sometime in 2015, not in summer 2014 as previously planned.
