South Korean developer Netmarble has announced today that Magic: ManaStrike is now available worldwide for Android and iOS devices. There's an epic new trailer featuring the members of the Gatewatch like Garruk, Jace, and Liliana. Watch it above.
First announced in February 2018, ManaStrike is a mobile game based on Wizards of the Coast's popular Magic: The Gathering trading card game, and it's the developer's first game in the Magic universe. The strategy elements of ManaStrike are more similar to games like Clash Royale than the MTG card game.
Similar to Magic: the Gathering Arena, the free-to-play mobile game offers both an in-game currency (gold) and a premium currrency (gems). Digital cards are still part of the gameplay experience, as you can use them to summon units and cast spells on the battlefield.
ManaStrike features a story in Magic's multiverse, as its plot involves "Tyrant of Worlds", Nicol Bolas creating a parallel universe as he tries to find a weakness that can kill the planeswalkers, so this is probably set before the events of War of the Spark, if this story is considered canon.
ManaStrike is not the only non-card Magic: The Gathering game recently announced. An MMO from Crytpic Studios called Magic: Legends is set to release next year.
Founded in 2000, Netmarble developed smartphone games including Marvel: Future Fight, Dragon Ball Online, Star Wars: Force Arena, and SD Gundam Capsule Fighter.
