Yes, yes, Devolver, we see what you did here. Teasing their “first AAA game” yesterday was always going to be some kind of daft joke or pun, and that’s exactly what’s happened, as Devolver has announced BlackLight Games’ All Army Attack, coming out in 2027.
All Army Attack is a roguelite auto-battler that sees animals and plants teaming up to take on a strange cosmic threat. You’re a coop commander, recruiting troops and building a roster by dragging cards into a grid, and then that army march forward and do battle with the enemies arrayed before you.
They’ve timed the reveal to arrive just ahead of Steam Auto-Battler Fest, which is running from 16th to 23rd November, during which a demo will be available.
The demo will have three playable characters, an array of 60 unit types, 25 unit enhancements, 40 treasures and more than 70 cards across different playstyles. After a sortie has run its course, you’ll then retreat to a seaside home base to level up in the game’ meta-progression, strengthening successive armies for later runs. Also buying hats. All the hats.
