Dragon Blaze was big big big in Korea when it launched in February last year, hitting top spots on both the App Store and Google Play.

It's now headed to English-speaking territories, arriving on the 11th of May.

A card battler RPG, Dragon Blaze features "a colorful storyline, real-time boss raids, enemy waves, and a PvP arena" according to this press release I've got right in front of me. Sounds exactly like my cup of tea.

So I'll probably want to keep my eyes out for the pre-registration giveaway, so I can nab me a special S-rank ally card, beginning April 6th.

Tell you what though, some of the character art looks a bit, well, overly familiar. Here's the accompanying visuals we got sent along with the press release I mentioned earlier, side-by-side with the character that's clearly a bit of an inspiration for the team;

Spiky white hair, olive skin, metal armour, pointy chin, stubby nose, and red fabric around his neck... looks an awful lot like The Kid from Bastion by Supergiant Games, right?

Anyway, I'm off to go bliss out with the glorious Bastion soundtrack. Let me know what you make of the character similarities, in the comments.
