Mobile social games leader ngmoco and Silicon Studio Corp. have released the premium role-playing game Fantasica for iOS and Android  devices worldwide. With detailed illustrations by Final Fantasy art director Hideo Minaba, Fantasica offers gaming experience accessible on smartphones, powered by the Mobage social entertainment network.

To celebrate Fantasica’s worldwide launch, the “Demon’s Tower” in-game event kicks off today and challenges players to fight alongside, and sometimes against, other heroes to reach the top floor of the Dark Demon God’s tower, defeat the demon and rescue the princess.

In Fantasica, hordes of monsters have ravaged the once peaceful lands of the Empire. Players join forces with friends to amass an army against the incoming monster invasion, aspiring to restore peace. With strategic real-time battles, global events, regular updates and more than 200 quests to complete, Fantasica delivers an authentic, fantasy role-playing experience for gamers worldwide.

“Fantasica is one of the most beautifully illustrated games on the Mobage network today, featuring art from Minaba-san, one of the most recognizable artists in the gaming industry,” said Neil Young, Director of DeNA and CEO of ngmoco. “Fantasica turns the traditional RPG genre on its head by infusing it with elements of extremely popular card battle games.”
