Yoozoo Games launches Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac globally on iOS and Android

If you’re into your anime, you’ve probably seen or heard of Saint Seiya. Based on a shonen manga by Masami Kurumada, the series was massively popular in the 1980s – especially in its native Japan. Since then, it’s grown into a franchise of all sorts, from feature-length films to toys to video games, and even a CGI adaptation recently launched on Netflix.

 Whether you’re a fan already, or looking for your next anime-inspired RPG, Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac is a solid introduction to the world part-inspired by Greek mythology. It takes the form of an online RPG for the mobile, full of rapid turn-based fights, a story drawing directly from the manga, and hundreds of characters including series favourites.

You step into the armoured boots of one of the Saints, a super-powered warrior tasked with keeping the god of wisdom and strategy, Athena, safe. As the story unfolds, you’ll encounter many enemies who you’ll have to deal with in turn-based battles. Your party in the arena is made up of the characters you collect and select along the way, all with their own unique abilities and special moves.

Original launched across a range of territories in Asia, Saint Seiya Awakening: Knights of the Zodiac has already climbed to the top of the highest-grossing RPG chart in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Now you can see what the fuss is all about following its global release. Download for free on the App Store and Google Play.
