Strategy Game 'Ancient Battle' Has Released on iOS and Android

Ancient Battle, the strategy game from Lion Studios and Chinese studio Mandrill VR, is out on iOS and Android today. In this game, players can defeat their opponents using a unique battle simulation system that combines parts of the usual strategy games with the so-called “hybrid-casual mobile game mechanics” by Lion Studios.

The premise of Ancient Battle is to gather and use troops to defeat all opposing armies in real-time. Players will use a king who can gather leaderless armies across the battlefield. After having enough soldiers, players can find other opponents to fight. The winner of this fight will get all the remaining opponent units.

This game is the first collaboration for Lion Studios. Mandrill VR invited them to collaborate for this game due to several factors. First is their success with games hyper casual they. The second is their collaboration with other Chinese developers.

“We have a great game concept, but we need help with UI/UX and the product itself,” said Roman Cheng of Mandrill VR. “Not only in testing and user acquisition – Lion Studio has proven that they are capable of helping us end to end through this entire process.”

Although Ancient Battle is a collaboration game, Lion Studios already has a lot of experience developing games hybrid-casual they. According to them these games take the difficult and complex systems of the existing genre, and combine them with intuitive mechanics. The result is a game with an engaging system, but easy to learn and play to appeal to a wider audience.

Nicholas Le of Lion Studio said; “We will always push our boundaries, whether it’s building a new genre or mixing elements of gameplay hyper casual and midcore. Ancient Battle is a testament to our team’s innovative spirit and ability to efficiently complete projects of this scale.”
