Krafton, the developer behind the cloud version of PUBG Mobile, has recently ventured into new territory with the soft launch of Tarasona: Battle Royale. This new 3v3 isometric shooter, now available for Android users in India, offers a unique twist on the battle royale genre with its anime-inspired aesthetic and quick, three-minute matches.
In Tarasona: Battle Royale, players compete in fast-paced battles, aiming to eliminate the opposing team to claim victory. The game's design emphasizes simplicity and accessibility, featuring intuitive controls that should appeal to a broad audience. Despite its promising concept, Tarasona has been released on Google Play with minimal promotion, which has somewhat muted its entry into the market.
The game's anime-style is unmistakable, with each character sporting vibrant colors and the exaggerated, yet appealing, armor and weaponry typical of shonen and shoujo series. This aesthetic choice aligns with current trends and could attract fans of anime and manga.
However, upon closer inspection, Tarasona appears somewhat unpolished. This is not unexpected given its early stage and soft launch status. One notable aspect is the gameplay mechanic that requires players to stop moving to shoot, which feels counterintuitive for a developer like Krafton, known for their work on the mobile adaptation of PUBG.
As we approach the holiday season, there's hope that Tarasona: Battle Royale will gain more traction and perhaps expand to new regions in the coming months. Krafton's commitment to refining and promoting the game will be crucial in determining its success.
