RWBY DECKBUILDING GAME Was Secretly Launched Today
Today Rooster Teeth launched a new game in partnership with 80Arcade. The game is RWBY Deckbuilding Game and the best part is that it’s free. If you have Android, iOS, or a PC with Steam, you can download and play the game for free. I know what your next thought is, and I can’t see how this can become a pay-to-win game. Deckbuilding games are extremely fair in that players create their decks from the same deck of cards. Of course, this doesn’t mean every game will be the same either.
In the little bit I’ve gotten to play (stay tuned for a full review later), the thing that keeps the game from getting stale is that at the start of each game you get to choose from two random characters to give you two unique cards in your starting deck. At the moment, the characters are the members of Team RWBY and Team JNPR (yes, including Pyrrah). Here’s the official description:
“RWBY Deckbuilding Game is a new digital card game set in the world of Remnant, bringing the characters of RWBY to life. Players battle with fan-favorites Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, or Ren as they upgrade decks for victory.
Players build their decks as they play by buying cards from a shared pool to create powerful synergies and conquer their opponents and powerful in-game bosses.
Play against the AI or with up to three friends in Quick Match or invite only games.
Unlock Relic Adventure mode which allows players to challenge the AI to defeat the diabolical boss and win the Relic frame version of their cards.
Purchase Raids that offer players the opportunity to team up with friends or other players to take down mighty villains and earn incredible rewards”
If you want to play the game on multiple devices, you can login with the same account and keep all your rewards consistent so you can play the game in whatever way is most convenient for you. Also, no matter which platform you’re using, you’ll be able to play with people on their platform of choice.
This game came as a complete surprise to the entire community and I have to hand it to Rooster Teeth for keeping quiet on this. Check out the trailer below and then feel free to download the game and try it for yourself.
