DeNA launches King of Castles: Throne Battle, teases Blood Brothers 2
DeNA has recently unveiled two “games of thrones” for iOS. To be sure, unlike Telltale’s Game of Thrones, neither is tied to HBO’s popular TV series. But both of DeNA’s new games, King of Castles and Blood Brothers 2 revolve around throne battles.
In fact, King of Castles is subtitled Throne Battle. It’s an artillery strategy game that challenges you to build a castle, equip it with armaments, and, using Angry Birds-style slingshot controls, launch weapons toward the opposing king’s fort before yours get blasted to smithereens.
King of Castles features player-versus-player battles in both synchronous and asynchronous modes against other players from around the world. Of course, it also supports a single-player mode, where you can take on the evil king depicted in the game’s launch trailer below:

As for Blood Brothers 2, it’s, of course, the sequel to the original gothic fantasy RPG Blood Brothers, which was released by DeNA in August 2012. As noted by the developer:
In Blood Brothers 2, players will build and recruit armies, fight tumultuous battles and uncover hidden conspiracies in order to bring peace back into the dark fantasy world of Arnashia. Blood Brothers 2 features exciting social gameplay, a player-versus-player (PvP) mode and weekly game events which allow players to control the storyline.
