The famous Japanese web game has made its return on your Android devices, now, you can start enjoying your Touken Ranbu Pocket adventure right on your mobile devices. Find out more about this amazing game from DMM Games with our reviews.

Story

The game is essentially a card game where you’ll take the role of a modern-day sage who travel back through time to try to defeat the evil forces that’re trying to change the course of the history. Here, using your sage powers and abilities, you can bring objects back to life and use them to fight the enemies. Most importantly, you’ll be able to breathe life into the famous Japanese swords. Travel to different periods of time and turn your powerful swords into magical deities, who are capable of dealing significant damages to the enemies.

Features

Here are some of the most notable features that the game has to offer:

Exciting main gameplay with epic adventures

In Touken Ranbu Pocket, players will have their chances to enjoy exciting game modes which are Front Lines, Expeditions, and PvP battles.

Front Lines

In this mode, players will have their chances to experience battles in various battlefields throughout the history of Japan, from the memories of Aonogahara to the recent Meiji period. Take on various battles and encounter some of the most notable historical characters in Japan.

In each stage, players are introduced to a different map, which is where you’ll go against your enemies. Take on the enemies and progress further on the map as you defeat the enemies and earn experiences for your team. However, keep in mind that your team members won’t gain any experiences if they surpass the level cap at that level. So playing a map over and over again won’t get you very far. Instead, make sure you complete each map with great results to make the most out of them.

And most importantly, the Touken Ranbu Pocket is the best place to obtain dropped swords. The harder the level, the better chances of gaining new swords. After each battle, you can choose to return to your citadel or continue your campaign. Keep in mind that your swords will lose their stamina after a few battles so you might want to go back and recharge them.

Expeditions

Unlike the front line battles, in which you might lose your battles and lost all the collected goods, expeditions are safer ways to gather resources without risking too much. That being said, once you’ve complete a map, you can start sending your sword spirits to join the Expeditions. Since you won’t be engaging in any battle, this mod is completely safe from gamers to experience. The only thing it requires is a certain amount of time.

To perform an expedition, your units must reach a certain level or you must have a certain sword type in your collection. The expedition will require a full team to join in, so you’ll have to let your second, third, or fourth teams go.

During the expeditions, there are chances that you’ll encounter the Great Successes, which would allow your units to gain 1.5 amount of resources as well as a doubled amount of experiences. This is extremely useful if you’re looking to level up quickly.

Explore the other interesting activities for gamers

Along with the main game, players are also allowed to join other in-game activities, which can be extremely interesting.

Smithing – Apart from swords that are obtained during battles, you can also get your new swords through smithing. Make uses of the resources that you’ve earned throughout your quests. You can even receive rare swords with this. However, you’ll need to use certain recipes to get them.

Armory – Along with forging the swords in your collection, you can also make Armory, which can be used to promotes certain stats of your army. Depending on the ratio of different ingredients that you use in the process, the results will vary.
Repairs – As you battle your enemies, your swords and armory will get damaged due to the intense battles. So it’s quite reasonable that we’ll need to repair them. By repairing, you’ll recharge the HP and reduce the Fatigue of your sword spirits.
Refinery – Here is where you can make uses of your old swords. By using them to refine your main swords, you’ll also increase the power of your swords, making them more capable during battles.
Internal Affairs – To make your swords even more like human, you can assign your swords to complete chores around your Citadel. In addition, it’s also a good chance for your swords to improve their stats through these activities.
Missions – And last but not least, we have the rewarding missions which allow you to gain valuable prizes. Complete the daily and monthly missions to gain epic boosts for your swords.

Enjoy epic combats with addictive battles

The game features exciting turn-based combats in which players are allowed to control their swords and lead them to battles against the enemies. Each of your swords will have certain stats which are Survival, Impact, Leadership, Mobility, Impulse, Range, and so on.

To make your swords more capable, you’ll need to improve their stats over that of their enemies. In addition, before your battles, you can also pick the suitable tactics for your armies, allowing them to gain the advantages over their enemies.

Your main enemies will be the Kebiishi, which is a group of the evils, who are trying to change the course of history with their manipulations. Make sure you can deal with them before they lay their hands on the world.

After your swords are engaged in battles, they’ll also get tired and wounds, which would take time to recover. Each sword you get will start at level 1. To increase their level, you can either hone them in battles or send them to Expeditions and Refine them.

Collect the greatest swords in Japanese history

Here in Touken Ranbu Pocket, players will have their chances to get their hands on some of the most powerful swords throughout the history of Japan. Use their powers to wield powerful attacks at the enemies. Take them down before they have a chance to do anything.
