- Disney Pixel RPG, the new licensed game from GungHo Entertainment, has revealed a new trailer
- Showcases new auto-combat features, AFK farming, and more
- The trailer also shows off avatar customization and many other features!
The highly anticipated officially licensed Disney Pixel RPG from GungHo Entertainment has revealed a new trailer and key images ahead of its launch. Currently up for pre-registration, the game mixes AFK elements, RPG battles, and even board game-themed world maps in an eclectic mix that also features Disney favorites like Mickey Mouse. It’s set to launch this year for iOS and Android.
A quick glance at the trailer reveals more familiar Disney characters, like Aladdin’s Genie or Big Hero 6’s Baymax. Given the wealth of films, TV shows, and more that Disney has produced over the years, it’s no surprise that mining this catalog of characters is seemingly every developer’s dream for unique allies and enemies.
The new trailer also shows off a variety of avatar customization features, as well as the requisite ability to farm while AFK or have your characters fight automatically. While it may not push the envelope in terms of gameplay, Disney Pixel RPG certainly looks the part.
Fully automatic
I've never fully understood the appeal of auto-battler RPGs. In my opinion, one of the key appeals of any RPG is the ability to control where and what your characters are doing on a tactical level. Auto-battlers tend to take something away, but given the popularity of the genre, I must have missed something.
In any case, I would be surprised if Disney Pixel RPG wasn't a hit, given how profitable Disney's catalog still is. Plus, letting people enter their own avatars is a surefire recipe for success among those who want to go toe-to-toe with Mickey Mouse.
