RisingWings, a subsidiary of KRAFTON Inc, has announced the global pre-testing schedule for its new real-time strategic mobile game Defense Derby. Taking place from September 15th to 30th, users will be able to get involved and help shape the eventual full release.

Defense Derby is a Player vs Player defense game and features an intriguing real-time auction system. In each round, four players will obtain cards through an auction to build up a deck. They will then use these cards to defend their castles against incoming monsters until the last person standing is crowned victor.

Placement of cards will be a big point of the battle, with synergy effects being created depending on the race, attribute and positions of each card. The single-player modes are designed to provide a more immersive experience within TD-style games and include Blitz and the Dungeons, whereas the PvP mode will be for pure competition.

The Vice president of RisingWings, Moon-chul Kang, commented “Defense Derby will offer immersive and intense gameplay by introducing strategic card combinations to create various synergy effects, and adding the auction system to make bold moves by predicting the opponent’s next step. Before the official launch, we ask for players’ participation and feedback during global pre-release testing.”

The signup period of the first pre-test Player Recruitment is open now and will last until the 14th, with the test itself kicking off on the 15th until the end of the month. Unfortunately for Apple device holders, this first test is only available for Android users via Google Play, however, the developers have confirmed a second test will be held and that will take IOS devices. Sign-ups will be taken on the official site and will require Android 5.1 or higher, so won’t require a groundbreaking piece of tech.
