HAEGIN :
Homerun Clash 2: Legends Derby (hereinafter Homerun Clash 2), the sequel to the casual home run derby baseball game "Homerun Clash" which has been downloaded twelve million times around the world, has finally been revealed.
"Homerun Clash 2" is a game that provides players with an awesome immersive feeling of batting a baseball through simple controls like its predecessor, enhanced graphics, more flashy effects, and four legendary batters from countries where baseball is popular as in-game characters.
The game offers a variety of content, such as 1vs1 and 2vs2 game modes where players compete with other players from around the world, rankings, the Challenge Derby, stadiums with unique themes and landmarks, items and skills that grant various effects and abilities, and more.
With the expertise gained from the development of its predecessor as its basis, "Homerun Clash 2" has made further improvements to its game systems and gameplay, making it enjoyable for not just gamers who love baseball, but also those who enjoy light-hearted competition.
- A Home Run Derby Game You Can Play With One Finger
The strong suit of the "Homerun Clash" series is its straightforward and simplistic controls. While the game may be easy to pick up, being a game that requires just one finger to hit home runs, various elements such as the sound effect of when the ball is hit, the animation of the ball going over the fence, and the intricate movements of the batters all come together to bring players an immersive experience of hitting a home run.
- Real-Time Ranking Battles With Players From Around the World!
"Homerun Clash 2" provides players with a "real-time 1vs1 PvP mode" so they may compete with players from around the world as well as their friends. Players are ranked based on the number of Trophies they have acquired through gameplay and can also form Clubs with other players to enjoy the game together.
Additionally, the game introduces an all-new 2vs2 home run derby mode which puts more focus on hitting the ball. This new mode also emphasizes teamwork and strategy with the all-new "Target System," which allows players to deal more damage to an opposing player and for an extra dose of fun. Players must strategically utilize the "Target System" and decide whether to focus their attack on one opponent or split up to each take on an opposing player.
The Challenge Mode (PvE) is a game mode where players play against a pitching machine, get a high score, and compete with other players from around the world with their personal best records. The player's objective is to keep hitting home runs within the time limit to receive the highest score possible.
Unlike PvP modes, where players compete with actual players, the game mode aims to provide the players with a fun time through features such as Clash Time, the Cycling Home Run, and reward players with lots of Gold and Gems.
*Clash Time: A kind of “last hurrah” moment that takes place at the end of the game. Players are given the chance to perform additional hits based on the number of Golden Balls they have acquired by hitting certain OBJs. The combo count is maintained even if a player fails to hit a home run, and the combo count is raised when extra home runs are hit, allowing players to earn a higher score.
*Cycling Home Run: The playtime is extended when a player successfully activates a Cycling Home Run. By hitting a Cycling Home Run, players have a chance to earn more points as the time is extended each time it's activated.
- Ability-Enhancing Skills and Equipment
Skills are divided into Batter Effect and Defense skills while each batter possesses a Unique Ability. Players can choose a batter to play as and equip them with equipment and skills based on their play style. Batter Effects may increase the number of points a player earns or decrease the number of points an opponent earns, while Defense skills help prevent skills that could interrupt a player's game from activating. Batters also have offensive and defensive stats which can be raised by leveling up.
Equipment increases a batter's offensive and defensive stats and consists of bats, headgear, goggles, and accessories.
- Legendary Batters From Nations Where Baseball is Popular Added
One of the biggest features of "Homerun Clash 2" is none other than the in-game appearance of legendary batters from four different nations where baseball is a popular sport. These legends are, "Dae-ho Lee" from South Korea, "Albert Pujols" from the United States of America, "Michihiro Ogasawara" from Japan, and "Tai-shan Chang" from Taiwan. The addition of these legendary batters is further enhanced in the game with content such as the World Star which is linked to gameplay progression.
Other fun features to look out for are stadiums each featuring different themes and landmarks as well as the unique original batters from the first "Homerun Clash" game..
Set to beat the heat this summer like an explosive home run, "Home Run Clash 2" is currently accepting pre-registrations. More detailed information about the game can be found on its branding website (https://hc2legendsderby.haegin.kr).
