好きな「1文字」が、そのまま戦うコマになる。 WordBladeは、文字の形で性能が決まる3Dコマバトルゲームです。 ひらがな、カタカナ、漢字、英字。入力したどんな文字でもコマになります。文字の輪郭を読み取って、丸さ・鋭さ・四角さ・画数の多さから、攻撃・防御・持久・重さが自動で決まります。いつもの一文字が、思いがけない最強コマになるかもしれません。 ◆ 文字の形がそのまま戦略に ・丸い文字は「スタミナ」型。長く回り続け、逆回転の相手から回転を奪う ・角ばった文字は「アタック」型。鋭い刃で相手を弾き飛ばす ・四角く重い文字は「ディフェンス」型。どっしり受け止めて押し返す ・バランス型はどんな相手とも渡り合える アタックはスタミナに強く、スタミナはディフェンスに強く、ディフェンスはアタックに強い。相手の文字を見て、相性で選ぶのが勝利への近道です。 ◆ スワイプ一つで迫力のバトル 3D のスタジアムで、立体の文字コマが火花を散らしてぶつかり合います。強烈な一撃で相手の文字が画ごとに砕け散る「バースト」、場外へ吹き飛ばす「オーバー」、回転が止まって倒れた相手はバラバラに分解。決着の瞬間まで目が離せません。 ◆ 遊び方 1. コマにする文字を選ぶ(おすすめから選ぶか、好きな1文字を入力) 2. 「3、2、1、SHOOT!!」に合わせて画面をスワイプして発射  ・スワイプの向き:飛び出す方向  ・スワイプの勢い:回転の強さ  ・右に払えば右回転、左に払えば左回転  ・タイミングがぴったりなら「PERFECT」で回転アップ 3. バトル中はスワイプで「ブースト」。狙った方向へ突進できる(4秒ごとに1回分回復) 4. 決着で得点。先に3ポイント取ったほうの勝ち  ・スピンフィニッシュ(相手の回転を止める):1ポイント  ・オーバーフィニッシュ(場外へ出す):2ポイント  ・バーストフィニッシュ(相手を砕く):2ポイント  ・時間切れは残りの回転が多いほうに1ポイント ◆ オンライン対戦 ・ランダムマッチ:世界中のプレイヤーとすぐに対戦 ・フレンドマッチ:部屋を作ってコードを送るだけで、友だちと2人で対戦 ・勝てばレートが上がり、ランキングに名前が載る 両者の準備がそろってから同時にスタートし、通信状況も画面に表示されるので、安心して対戦できます。 あなたの名前の一文字、好きな漢字、ひらがな一文字。最強の文字を探しに行こう!
