Com2uS has released a delightful new adventure game for Android called Minion Rumble, which is as charming as its name suggests. Picture this: you're summoning a capybara with impressive battle stats to fend off zombie-like hordes, all while enjoying a leisurely drink. That's the laid-back yet thrilling vibe Minion Rumble offers!
Currently, Minion Rumble is available in the US, Canada, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. At its heart, it's a casual roguelike with .io-style legion battles. You'll take on the role of a Summoner, leading your squad into battle, joined by Champions and Minions to form your team. The game features a delightful mix of quirky characters, such as a bowmaster fairy and a war-hardened shooter teaming up with a cat Champion to tackle endless waves of enemies.
Minion Rumble's gameplay is designed for vertical, one-handed play, making it perfect for on-the-go gaming. It introduces random skill cards and Champions during runs, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same. Your strategy might shift from relying on an overpowered swordmaster to adapting to new combinations. Beyond the battles, there's a gear system that allows you to upgrade your wand, arrows, or sword as you progress. Plus, there's an offline rewards system that continually stacks loot for you.
The first event, Pudding Paradise, runs until April 17th. It's an engaging quest-and-dice event where you can earn Pudding Plates, which you can trade for rewards, including Epic Champion Selection Chests. Following that, the Puddiebean Fusion Festival is live until April 24th. In this event, you collect Puddiebeans from quests and fuse them into gear, some of which is S-tier.
Don't forget to claim your pre-registration rewards, which include 10,000 Gold and the Epic Champion Capyboo. Capyboo is not just adorable but also a durable tank unit that can withstand the toughest of battles.
Minion Rumble supports seven languages and is free to play, making it accessible to a wide audience. You can download it now from the Google Play Store.
