GAME DEVELOPER RISINGWINGS ANNOUNCES DEFENSE DERBY, A STRATEGIC TOWER DEFENSE GAME

KRAFTON, Inc. :

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. - Sept. 1, 2022 - Leveraging its experience from developing premiere mobile titles (Archery King, Bowling King, Mini Golf King, and Golf King: World Tour) RisingWings, a subsidiary of KRAFTON, Inc., has announced the official global pre-testing schedule for its new real-time strategic defense mobile game, Defense Derby. 

The pre-release testing for Defense Derby is designed to present a much higher-quality game by reflecting user feedback before the official launch. The testing will take place from Sept. 15 - 30 and users can download the game from Google Play to participate in the testing.

Defense Derby is a strategic, player-versus-player (PvP) defense game with a real-time auction system added for a new experience in the tower defense (TD) genre. Each round, four players obtain cards through an auction and build up their decks with the acquired cards. Then, they defend their castles against the incoming monsters until the last survivor is crowned as the winner. As powerful synergy effects can be created depending on the race, attribute and placement of cards, players can enjoy strategic gameplay by leveraging diverse card combinations. The single-player modes, such as Blitz and the Dungeons, are designed to provide a more immersive experience within TD-style games, while the PvP mode provides the thrill of competition.

“Defense Derby will offer immersive and intense gameplay by introducing strategic card combinations to create various synergy effects, and adding the auction system to make bold moves by predicting the opponent’s next step,” said Moon-chul Kang, Vice President of RisingWings. “Before the official launch, we ask for players’ participation and feedback during global pre-release testing.”
