Army Corps of Hell

Game Overview

Army Corps of Hell combines fast-paced horde management with arcade-style combat, leveraging the PlayStation Vita's physical controls and touch features. Set across visceral, arena-like stages floating in the underworld, the game challenges players to command up to 100 goblin soldiers simultaneously while avoiding environmental hazards and dodging massive boss strikes.

Gameplay centers on controlling three specialized classes of goblin troops: Soldiers for close-quarters melee swarming, Spearmen for long-range piercing thrusts, and Magicians for ranged elemental magic attacks. Players must rapidly switch between class formations, swarming enemies to inflict damage while recalling troops before bosses unleash area-of-effect counters. Slain enemies drop meat, bones, and organs, which are salvaged between stages to craft new weapons, armor, and stat-boosting equipment for the King and his goblin army.

Tailored for the PS Vita handheld, the game incorporates rear touch pad controls for mini-games—such as tapping the back panel to revive fallen goblins using a restorative drum routine. Accompanied by a thrashing soundtrack provided by prominent Japanese heavy metal bands, Army Corps of Hell delivers a unique, heavy-metal tactical action experience.
