(Pink Sheets: ADTR), a distributor, developer and publisher of interactive video games and gaming products, announced today its Alliance Digital Media® unit, in partnership with BlazBlue creator Arc System Works and Aksys Games, has released BlazBlue: Battle CardsTM for the iPad®.
The app captures the excitement and epic intensity of the BlazBlue brand and its roster of fighters in a dynamic multiplayer card combat game. The app allows players to choose their warrior from one of nine iconic BlazBlue characters; build their deck from a wide range of attacks and special moves, and then go head-to-head online against other players through the built-in matchmaking, ranking and leader board system.
Jay Gelman, CEO of Alliance said “We are very excited to be able to bring the BlazBlue experience to the mobile space with our introduction of BlazBlue: Battle Cards. Our development team at Alliance headed up by Matt Sughrue has done a great job translating the exciting and challenging BlazBlue experience to a multiplayer card combat game. We want to thank both Aksys and Arc who have been extremely supportive of all our development efforts. Their cooperation in each phase of the process was integral to bringing the game to the market. We look forward to a very successful launch.”
Akibo Shieh, CEO of Aksys Games, states, “Aksys Games is proud to have Alliance participate in our partnership with Arc System Works to help expand the BlazBlue franchise to a new medium. We are excited for the release of BlazBlue: Battle Cards and hope to bring the BlazBlue universe to new users as well as give those familiar with the franchise a fresh, new experience to enjoy!”
Toshimichi Mori, creator of BlazBlue said, “I was really surprised to find out that a card game based on BlazBlue was being made (and outside of Japan, as well!), but I’m really happy and grateful that BlazBlue is going to be available on mobile platforms!
I’m hoping that BlazBlue: Battle Cards will provide an opportunity for more people in the US to enjoy the amazing characters and the lore of BlazBlue. It’d be great if you can give the original fighting game a shot while at it, too!”

Behaviour has revealed an ambitious plan for their upcoming sandbox MMOFPS, Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade, detailing how matches deciding control of territory and resources will play out. While to understand the full details of the system, it’s best to check out the extensive overview below, we’ll do our best to sum it up for you.
The core concept is that Warhammer 40k: EC’s factions will vie for control of a 16x16km open world connected continent. These battles will be dynamically generated based on the terrain layout of the zone to create the potential for up to and beyond 120 unique battlegrounds for battalions to duel over.
Depending on the number of players contesting the zone, these battles will be fought over lesser outposts in 100 man skirmishes. If the invading force can successfully take two outposts, a new stronghold battle will unlock with much heftier defender bonus structures in place. If the assaulting force takes over the stronghold, the entire zone will swap hands to the assaulting team.
Beyond launch and as the playerbase hopefully rises, Behaviour intends to remove the artificial segregation between zones during battles to open up much larger 200-500 player battles for control over an entire territory or even multiple territories at one time.
For more information on the various factions and continued development of Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade, check out the official website.
SolarFall Games is today celebrating Umbra** being Greenlit by the Steam community and surpassing the 50% funding mark, on their Kickstarter, in just 5 days!
“We’ve been knocked off of our feet by the incredibly positive reaction received for Umbra! To say that we’re humbled, at hitting such a significant milestone in funding and being Greenlit so fast, is an understatement” said Daniel Dolui, Lead Programmer and Game Director at SolarFall Games. “We still have a long way to go, but with your support we can make our game a reality!”
Umbra is an open world action-RPG taking place in a corrupted world that is falling apart. You are a former soldier, forced to flee the death penalty because of your magic powers. Being tracked down by humans and hunted by the monsters of the Wild, you are recruited by a mysterious group of Templars, and thus your epic adventure begins…
Currently Umbra’s funding is now over $115,000, with 26 days to go on the campaign. There’s still time to back the CryEngine3 based hack ‘n’ slash RPG.
PlayGrid Games along with world renowned developer Petroglyph announced today that Victory Command is available now on Steam Early Access. The first of its kind, military MOBA (Multiplayer Online Based Arena), Victory Command fuses the battle mode style of DotA with the electrifying military tactics in World of Tanks, creating a thrilling gaming experience for every player. Moving beyond the standard three-lane MOBA formula, Victory Command adds RTS (Real-Time Strategy) controls in an open field of play and engages enemies with large-scale strategies.
Victory Command players will simultaneously command multiple units of armored, recon, and infantry units to engage in 5v5 team combat. They embark on their military career given just basic companies, and then improve their troops and arsenal by earning experience points that they can use to upgrade their company and obtain special abilities and skills. Combining the cooperation and competition of battle arena games with strategic gameplay on an open field, players can flank, ambush and trap their opponents to achieve victory. This unique military MOBA is full of additional ways to surprise and destroy opponents.
Victory Command Key Features:
Fast-paced 5v5 multi-player military MOBA where each player controls one of 15 customizable companies of 2 to 12 units each, enabling them to devise and execute intricate team-based strategies.
The game’s open field battle arena allows for fluid gameplay across any part of the map – not just three lanes – providing distinctive match structures and play mechanics.
Multiple maps bring to life a variety of terrains which can work to your advantage or disadvantage. These features include: line-of-sight, brush, heavy cover, vantage points, infantry-only paths, water features, and more.
Every company has a set of Company Abilities to choose from, providing game-changing offensive and defensive actions including airstrikes, anti-weapon gas, ensnare, napalm strike, unit tracking and many more.
Players can strategically mix and match units in hundreds of ways within their company to create a custom tactical force.
Play in short, frenetic matches to earn experience, improve stats, unlock new skills, and gain powerful abilities with different unit types.
Victory Command will have a stream of continuous updates with new content rolling out regularly.
