The game's available characters are split into six classes: Soldier, Heavy, Runner, Medic, Sniper and Scrambler. (Hey this sounds a lot like a super popular shooter, no?) The goal of the game is destroy your opponent's base using ideal combinations of the six roles.

"The phrase 'I don't usually like this type of game, but...' has already come up in testing, which is definitely what we're aiming for," the developer said on its blog. "But how do we know if we're on the right track? We're recruiting testers that don't like strategy games AND testers that love them, and we're listening," it explained. "And then we're thinking really hard." The game is in development as of this writing, and is due out later this year on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.
