Warcraft Arclight Rumble is a free-to-play mobile action strategy game announced by Blizzard Entertainment on 3 May 2022,[1] where players build armies with their heroes and villains from Warcraft and battle it out in scenarios designed to test their tactical wits.

Gameplay

Modes include the single player campaign, dungeons, and raids. Players can engage in these modes in co-op, and battle against other players in PvP.[2]

Arclight Rumble has been compared to the tower defense genre, but in the words of the developers, it is more of a tower offense game.

A match will generally consist of the following aspects:

1: Deployment: Use gold reserves to deploy minis on the battlefield. The player gains gold passively over time by mining and finding treasure chests.

2: Capture: Capture objectives such as guard towers and meeting stones, then use them to deploy minis closer to the objectives.

3: Conquer: The player's minis will march towards the enemy leader to take them down.

Factions

Arclight Rumble has five factions, each of whose leaders specialize in a certain area:

  • Alliance: Alliance leaders support defense, healing, and stealth tactics, as well as heavy use of spells.
  • Horde: Horde leaders encourage building momentum through earning additional gold, fast attacking troops, and enemy control with area of effect stuns.
  • Beasts: Beast leaders can disable enemy defenses, helping the player's forces quickly overwhelm the enemy. Others specialize with using a flurry of fast troops to swarm the enemy.
  • Blackrock: Blackrock leaders reward the player for fielding heavy-hitting flying troops and searing elemental magic users .
  • Undead: Undead leaders use powerful necromancy on the battlefield, allowing them to summon endless armies.

Minis

There are over 65 Warcraft minis to collect, including leaders, rank-and-file troop minis and spells. Different minis have different advantages in combat—flying troops are effective against infantry, siege troops deal additional damage to guard towers, etc.

After each battle, experience is gained that levels up minis. Leveling them up unlocks the ability to use game-changing talents.

Development

  • The developers took inspiration from tower defense games when making Arclight Rumble.[2]
  • The in-universe conceit for Arclight Rumble is that in taverns across Azeroth, a mysterious machine has been found, powered by gnomish technology and "arclight." The machine depicts (in)famous battlegrounds where animated figures do battle for the users' entertainment.[2]
    • In the game's cinematic trailer, the users in question appear to be patrons of the Hearthstone inn, including Velaris, Urk, and a much older Ava.
