Pre-Launch Campaign That Turned Heads
Battle Waves: Mobile arrives with a pre-launch run that stands out for an independent debut:
- #1 Card Game in iOS Pre-Orders worldwide during the pre-order window (source: Appark.ai)
- 160,000 Pre-Registrations on Google Play
- 146,000 views on TikTok and 66,000 views on YouTube ahead of launch
- Six critical gameplay crashes identified and resolved during a two-week Open Beta
"Combining the tactical depth of Auto-Battlers with real-time fun was a design and development challenge that took over four years of iteration," said Gabriel Langlois, founder of Gabriel's Games. "The fans caught six crashes pre-launch and pushed the game to #1 in Card Game pre-orders on iOS. I cannot wait for tens of thousands of players to hop into matchmaking and share their builds online!"
About Battle Waves: Mobile
Helios and Nyxia collided. The shockwave flooded reality with Cosmic Essence - raw, unstable power that transformed armies, awakened constructs, and fractured civilization into factions fighting to control what's left. Players can add six factions from Helios and Nyxia to their deck from a launch roster of 26, offering enormous potential for new builds, counters and end-game strategies.
Gameplay is deceptively simple. Matches are fast, readable, and tactical: deploy units into lanes, counter your opponent's waves, and destroy their base before they destroy yours. Experiment and learn in the infinite solo campaign or see if you have what it takes to compete in ranked PvP online.
Key features:
- Lane-based real-time 1v1 PvP Battles - iOS and Android players compete together on the same ladder
- 26 Factions at launch across Helios and Nyxia, with 6 more coming soon - each with unique unit pairs, team bonuses, and playstyles
- Six-faction deck building - mix and match from 26 factions for deep counter-strategies and combinations
- Five-act campaign with infinite New Game Plus for solo players
- Ranked PvP and leaderboards - climb the ladder, prove your build
- Season 1: The Cosmic Collision - live now, featuring the Battle Pass and game lore
- Free to play - no upfront cost, supported by optional in-app purchases
