The Pokemon Company has announced the launch of their latest Pokemon mobile game, Pokemon Duel. Players can now download the game from your local App or Play Store.
Known as Pokemon Co-Master when it first released in Japan a year ago, Pokemon Duel is a brand new board game based mobile game. The game is co-developed by a company called Heroz Japan. The company is famous for it’s AI Core technology especially in the board-games genre. Be prepared to squeeze your brain juices as the game can go as long as 300 turns.
The objective of the game is to send one of your Pokemon over to the opponent’s base (mark with a red flag) while preventing the opponent’s Pokemon from entering yours (mark with blue flag). In short, it’s a “Capture the Flag” type of board game. Each Pokemon has a pre-set number of moves it can make. Players will have to decide whether to move your Pokemon towards an open space, or have a direct confrontation with the opponent’s Pokemon. There are also spell cards you can use to boost your Pokemon’s attack before you engage in a battle.
I played the game for quite a bit last year and I found it so much more fun than Pokemon Go. There’s a lot of thinking and strategy involve as you progress deeper into the game thus if you’re a fan of board games, you should definitely check this one out!
