The fantasy game teased by Square Enix recently is called Crystal Conquest, the company revealed today. It's a browser game for the Japanese Yahoo! Games service, which seems to combine real-time strategy and action.

Two teams of 20 players, trying to defeat one another using summoned creatures and special abilities in a side-scrolling brawler-type environment. Players can assign those skills from decks of cards they've assembled before going into battle.

Square Enix will hold an alpha test for the game from April 12 through April 16, for which it's taking email signups through April 9. The game will be available to all (in Japan) this summer.

Square Enix summons a class-based action title in Crystal Conquest

by Jessica Conditt (11 hours ago)

Last week Square Enix's mystery title was outed as Crystal Conquest, a Flash-based action title for Japanese consumption, set to launch this summer. Details are now sidling out, as noted by 4gamer and translated by Andriasang:

Crystal Conquest is a side-scroller with characters shifting between two planes of play, it uses mouse controls only, and it has four classes: Warrior, Scout, Priest and Sorcerer. The goal is to destroy the enemy's home base before time runs out or the enemy destroys yours. At the end of the match, damage and enemies killed are added up and the winner crowned. The battle edifices are called Arrow Tower, Crystals and Summons Facilities, and the title will include classic Square Enix summons functions.

The full list of Crystal Conquest details and a few high-res screens can be peeped right here.
