Tarasona is a new isometric anime-styled battle royale from Krafton, soft launched in India

Krafton, fresh off the cloud release of PUBG Mobile, has quietly dropped a new anime-style battle royale into soft launch: Tarasona: Battle Royale. This 3v3 isometric shooter is currently available on Android in India.

Tarasona pits you against other teams in fast-paced, three-minute matches. The goal? Eliminate the opposing team and claim victory. With its short match times and intuitive controls, it aims for a quick and engaging experience. Despite a low-key Google Play release, Tarasona offers a unique gameplay experience.

The game's anime aesthetic is immediately apparent. Characters are vibrantly colored, predominantly female, and feature the stylized armor and weaponry common in shonen and shoujo anime.

Early Impressions: Early gameplay reveals some rough edges, which is expected given the soft launch status. However, the requirement to stop moving to fire feels unusually slow-paced for a developer known for the mobile optimization of PUBG.

We'll keep you updated on further developments for Tarasona, but for now, its launch has been relatively under the radar. Hopefully, we'll see increased momentum and wider territorial release in the coming months.
