Crunchyroll Games and VIZ Media announced that their original RPG brawler, Grand Alliance is available now in the west on iOS and Android devices.

Grand Alliance is an amine-style RPG brawler that takes place in a world that is on the brink of war. It’s been discovered that the Imperial family has been assassinated and a tyrant is now controlling the Alcyon Empire, which creates a power struggle between the five noble houses. Players will follow the story of Amelia, the last surviving heir to the throne, as she aims to unite the country and bring an end to the killing.

The gameplay has players participate in real-time battles as they control a squad of three heroes and fight across an isometric battlefield. Players will be able to customize these units with various skills that they are able to use against enemies, but their is a layer of strategy required to get through most fights. Also, there’s a PvP arena where players can bring up to nine heroes and fight against other players.
