Ubisoft launches Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians on mobile

More On: MIght & Magic Elemental Guardians

I always perk up and pay attention when a Triple-A developer brings a well-known franchise to mobile. The new Might & Magic game from Ubisoft is of particular interest, as it does not tie in with any current console releases, and though the franchise has many devoted fans, it has been a little dormant of late. It will be interesting to see how fans react to this new take on the franchise.

Elemental Guardians casts players as a young apprentice wizard at a magical academy. As part of your training, you travel the land, capturing magical fantasy creatures, which you can then train and evolve. Hmm… that premise sounds vaguely familiar.

Though the gameplay concepts might be familiar, the game looks as though Ubisoft brought a lot of resources on board to develop a quality game. There are over 400 creatures to capture, and the game boasts PVE and PVP battles, quests, guilds, and weekly tournaments.

From the press release:

“Might & Magic® Elemental Guardians features include:

  • Intense PVE Battles: Assemble your team and summon them to fight in fast-paced RPG battles. Command them strategically, using the elements tactically.
  • Fast-Paced PvP Combat: Enter the Arena and challenge players from around the world in asynchronous battles. Climb the weekly rankings from Beginner to Master League to win fantastic rewards.
  • Unique Elemental Creatures: Encounter, battle and collect over 400 beautifully animated elemental creatures such as the legendary Dragon, heroic Paladin, stealthy Assassin and colossal Giant.
  • Epic Creature Evolution: Witness the transformation as creatures evolve from cute companions to legendary allies. Train their magical abilities and equip ancient Glyphs to unleash their battle prowess.
  • Augmented Reality: Bring creatures to life before your eyes with the new AR mode! Take snapshots of your favorites by your side and witness PvP battles from a whole new perspective
  • Live Events & Guild Quests: Take part in a range of challenging Live Events and win rare items. Join a guild to unlock co-operative quests with your teammates.”

I downloaded the game this afternoon, and hope to get the opportunity to check it out later this week. If I do, I will post some impressions right here on Gaming Nexus.

In the meantime, you can download the game right now for free on the App Store for iOS devices and on Google Play for Android devices. You can also learn more about Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians at the official website here.
