Pinball action RPG? So there are new ideas in the gacha space. World Flipper is an action RPG for mobile by Cygames (of Granblue Fantasy fame and more) and Kakao Games, which has been out in Japan for a while. Now they have announced a date for the global release.
The global release will include four servers: Southeast Asia/Oceania, America, Europe and South Korea. SEA and OCE players share the same servers. Each of the servers will have different community events.
World Flipper is a vertical game where you travel the fantasy world, collect allies, and… play pinball. The balls are your characters, keep them from not falling as they attack the enemies up top. You can swipe up for skills and trigger fever mode when the bar is full, plus team abilities.
Expect a mix of the usual hand-drawn graphics and some good use of 2D spirtes. There’s also a co-op mode. You can check out the gameplay trailer here:
Outside of the very interesting gameplay is the usual features you’d expect from a gacha game. Like how the characters you unlock have backstories to discover.
With the global launch coming close, this is the last chance to pre-register your interest in World Flipper here. The game has surpassed 1 million pre-registrations already, so expect the following rewards for all players when the game launches:
- Arisa (4-star character)
- 2,5000 Lodestar (in-game currency)
World Flipper launches worldwide on September 8 for iOS and Android.
