Players control ”comical characters in fun battles,” describes the studio. We choose from warrior, mage and cleric - we can battle on a ”grand scale” with friends.
”Happy Wars is our first original title and we want to deliver it from Japan to the world,” said Happy Wars’ director, Yoichi Take of Toylogic. “We explored deeply into the fun of playing together with friends. The game has been jam-packed with gimmicks and systems to appeal to all gamers from hardcore to casual. We promise unprecedented enthusiasm, screams and excitement, so by all means, have fun with Happy Wars!”
An official Happy Wars website is now up and running. Toylogic have put together a list of highlighted features for the 2012 bound Xbox Live Arcade title:
