Crunchyroll Games, the interactive division of the ultimate home for anime, has launched the retro-styled JRPG Bloodline: The Last Royal Vampire in select Southeast Asian territories. The Chinese graphic novel turned mobile game is now available on iOS and Android in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia on the App Store and Google Play.
Bloodline: The Last Royal Vampire is a mobile role-playing card game that follows the Last Royal Vampire Lilo and her companion Ren in their quest to save their loved ones from a militaristic order called the Holy Land.
Players build their own squad of warriors, heroes, and fantastical creatures to defeat exorcists, hunters, as well as vicious demons, and many powerful beings pulling the strings from the shadows. The anime-styled mobile role-playing card game features hundreds of characters and customization, allowing for a roster of heroes that is distinctly unique to each player.
At launch, Crunchyroll Games will serve up a special crossover that allows players to dig into Cuisine Dimension Spacetime Dungeons to collect delicious rewards or cook up a whole new party by summoning food-themed Cuisine Dimension characters.
The Last Royal Vampire is a tactical turn-based card game in a modern fantasy setting with sharp, 16-bit graphics. Players can collect over 400 characters, from valiant knights to minigun-toting waifus, and level them up to unlock their true powers.
Real-time guild battles allow players to destroy opposing forces with friends and guildmates, while bloody competition features like the Arena, Tower of Fate, and giant Guild Battles let players claw their way through other players.
Players can also take advantage of features like Auto Battle, Raid, and Auto Mine to devote more time to managing their squad and fighting the Holy Land. With these features, players can clear stages and progress effortlessly while earning all the items and materials to level up their characters.
Crunchyroll Games’ free-to-play titles for anime fans complement Crunchyroll Game Vault, which grants Crunchyroll premium members unlimited access to a growing library of premium mobile titles available exclusively to Mega and Ultimate Fan Premium Memberships. These titles include River City Girls, Thunder Ray, Hime’s Quest, and more.
