The newest entry in the Uncharted series was revealed earlier today, it’s called Uncharted: Fight for Fortune and it’s a card based game. Okay I just lost all my readers in one sentence but for those of you still with me let’s have a look at what we have here.
Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is set to launch on the Vita in December for a mere $4.99 so it’s not a sequel to Golden Abyss but rather something more in line with what you would find in the iOS store. Was that an insult directed at the game? To be honest I’m not even sure myself, I guess. What is insulting however is that the game will feature day one DLC, seriously guys?
The following was posted on the PlayStation Blog.
The core gameplay in UNCHARTED: Fight for Fortune involves creating a team of Faction cards featuring heroes, villains, and mercenaries from the UNCHARTED universe, then using that team to defeat your opponent while defending yourself from their attacks.
Each Faction card can be equipped with powerful Resource and valuable Fortune cards, which enhance their stats and give them special abilities. Once you’ve selected and equipped a card, it’s time to head into battle! During combat, attacks either reduce the health of opposing Faction cards or the health of your opponent. Defeating an opposing Faction card removes it from play, while reducing the health of your opponent to zero wins you the game.
Along with the release of UNCHARTED: Fight for Fortune, we will also release a new patch for UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss that will power up the artifacts that you’ve collected for immediate use within Fight for Fortune. Using the artifacts found within Golden Abyss, you can go to battle with other players as well as AI opponents. The game can also be played independently of Golden Abyss, so owning the PS Vita title is not required.
One Loop Games will be handling this one with support from Sony Bend & Naughty Dog, I can’t imagine Naughty Dog’s support being much more than “Yeah you can borrow the Uncharted title screen theme”. It’s pretty much a card game, should play great on the Vita’s touch screen but I’m not really sure Uncharted fans who are used to killing thousands of enemies in the previous game are going to be very welcoming to Fight for Fortune.
