Albus Paths, a futuristic tactical RPG, has launched its closed beta testing phase for Android devices in China. The beta began on November 18, 2024, and will continue until November 24, 2024. iOS players can participate using PC simulators, though the test is primarily focused on Android users.
Gameplay Overview: Strategic Card Battles and Narrative Depth
Set in the futuristic city of Senecio, Albus Paths combines tactical card battles with a narrative-driven experience. Players take on the role of a Senior Tune Master, guiding teams of Magic Armored Girls who wield magic to combat catastrophic “Magic Disasters.” These disasters result from a collision between the Phantom World and reality.
Key gameplay features include:
- Deck building and customization: Create a roster of characters with unique abilities.
- Character progression: Upgrade cards to unlock powerful synergies.
- Strategic decision-making: Manage resources and make narrative-driven choices.
The game’s anime-inspired art style and gameplay mechanics have drawn comparisons to Blue Archive, another popular RPG.
