Kreation Verse unveils anime-style mobile fighter TAT Rumble

Kreation Verse has unveiled its Japanese anime-style mobile fighting game TAT Rumble, coming this summer on iOS and Android.

Tomoya Ogawa, CEO of Kreation Verse told GamesBeat in an interview last week at the Game Developers Conference that the game is aimed at mobile gamers bored by repetition, outdated control schemes, and burnt out intellectual properties.

TAT Rumble is a mobile fighting game designed to deliver exhilarating combat, anime-style character art and classic 2D fighting super move animations designed by legendary artist Tatsuro Iwamoto, known best for his work on Capcom’s Ace Attorney series.

The game was developed by Kreation Verse and led by Ogawa and game director Karin (yes, a single name), known for their work on Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle (published by Bandai Namco Entertainment). TAT Rumble will challenge players to compete in the Twelve Anonymous Tournament, a global no-rules martial arts tournament where the best fighters from around the world compete for power, wealth, and fame.

It blends collectible art, fighting and strategy gameplay with digital cards, and slot machines, or Japanese-style Gacha.

“Our game concept is around collectible art,” Ogawa said. “It blends with fighting for the gameplay with detailed cards. It has a collectible card game type of mechanic.”

The game uses non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to verify that your item owned is of a limited quantity. NFT elements are available on top of the Web2 free-to-play game. Users can play completely for free if they wish. But they can also convert a Web2 item into an NFT, and the number of NFT items is limited. The NFTs are an ownable, tradeable capital asset. But Ogawa said the company has no plans to launch a token of its own. The NFT’s purpose is to prove ownership, and it will be available on the Ethereum blockchain.

“This is an opportunity to leverage the interactive medium of gaming with the aim of fostering closer connections and engagement between users and artists through gameplay, with the eventual goal of incorporating characters from other beloved artists,” said Ogawa. “TAT Rumble brings the intensity of classic Japanese fighting games to the mobile platform with intuitive controls, stunning visuals, and a roster of unique and powerful characters. Players can master a variety of fighting styles, unleash devastating combos, and climb the leaderboards in a vibrant and ever-evolving competitive scene.”
