In what many have been speculating to be another First Person Shooter (FPS) game from CAPCOM turns out to be something else. Last week, the Japanese company, known for the Biohazard/Resident Evil series announce “Black Command” a military simulation game that is designed to be played on mobile devices that use the Android and iOS mobile operating systems.

In this mobile game, you are in command of your own Private Military Company (PMC) and your objective is to profit for assignments and missions that you embark by leading some of the top mercenaries that your money can afford.

Choosing the right weapons and gear as well as picking the battles that you think you can take on based on what you have is the main strategy of the game. Different missions will require different approaches and that means you should know what maneouvres to take as you take on an enemy to defeat.

“Black Command” is free to play with in-game purchases which means that you can accelerate the upgrades of gear and weapons by being able to make purchases through micro-transactions.

Capcom developed the game in collaboration with Military Blog Japan. The blog site is famous for its daily reports in the military, law enforcement and tactical world covering real world weapons as well as airsoft.

Here the main features of the game:

• Upgrade your forces with real-world small arms and gear.
• More than 150 weapons.
• Maneouvre your forces from a satellite view tactical map.
• Gain a strategic edge by guiding you forces into flanking positions, pincer manoeuvres and traps.
• Decide when and where your forces fight.
• All-new and unique gameplay.
• A diverse range of missions including search and destroy, assassination and combined arms engagements.

Both Google Play and Apple App Store are now accepting pre-registrations for the game. “Black Command” is expected to be available by the Fall of this year.
