One of the joys of playing Pokemon is that you get to battle against your friends. Unfortunately as far as Pokemon GO is concerned, player battles is a feature that is still in the works. Not to worry because if dueling against your friends is something you’re interested in, The Pokemon Company has announced a new game: Pokemon Duel.
Unfortunately this is not the kind of dueling you have come to expect from Pokemon games. Instead Pokemon Duel appears to be more of a strategy game that comes across more like a board game as opposed to how Pokemon games typically play. However we guess if you’re a fan of Pokemon then we guess it could be something you might be interested in.
According to its description, “The object is to be the first player to get one of your figures to your opponent’s goal. How will you get to the goal? You’ll need to carefully choose your route! In duels, you and your opponent take turns moving your figures. Set up a strategic formation and attack your opponent, or simply block their path—it’s all about tactics! Plan your strategy and defeat your opponents in this game of cat and mouse!”
The game itself is free although from what we can tell, there are in-app purchases in the form of gems. If you’d like to check it out, it is available for download via the iTunes App Store or Google Play depending on your platform.
