A new Blizzard Entertainment game has hit phones near you, and it’s got a different look than you’d expect.Warcraft Rumbleis the latestWarcraftspin-off, reimagining the world in mini-figure warfare.
The latestWarcraftgame officially launched today, as part ofBlizzCon 2023. It’s available to download now, and the good news is, it’s relatively straightforward to acquire, learn, and get way too invested in. Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.
Just what isWarcraft Rumble?
You might look atWarcraft Rumbleand have an immediate reaction of, “oh, it’sClash Royale.” To be fair, you’re pretty much right;Warcraft Rumblecertainly follows in the footsteps of line battlers before it.
With a base on each side, players use gradually accumulated gold to summon units through their mini-figure collection. Just drag and drop, and your little combatant runs down the lane towards the enemy.
Of course, the strategy is all in team composition, resource management, and the tug-of-war over lane control. This is one area whereWarcraft Rumbleshifts things up. It’s easy to approach but has quite a few interesting wrinkles that force you to think strategically, rather than simply just dropping pieces for a win.
It’s also got a fairly solid single-player offering, so even if you’re not keen on PvP, you can still find things to do.
The other good news is,Warcraft Rumbleis free-to-play. No purchase is required, though there is a cash shop if you want to speed up your levelling or acquire a specific mini-fig.
For Android users, you can head to theGoogle Play Store to nab it here. Apple product owners can meanwhile getWarcraft Rumbleon their iPhone throughthe iOS Store here.
So now you know just whatWarcraft Rumbleis, and you know where to download it. Not much left to do but start dropping those pieces on the board, I’d say.
