Freedom Wars Launch Trailer Shows Off Creative Battle Tactics

John Bardinelli

Freedom Wars is a mission-based arena battler that borrows a bit from games like Monster Hunter and Bayonetta but shoves the setting into a futuristic sci-fi world. Combat features plenty of loud, bright attacks with guns and melee weapons, but the real focus is on the grappling whips known as "thorns". Players use them to zip across the battlefield, pull huge enemies to the ground, set traps and perform other special techniques. Combine that with player classes and helper robots called Accessories and you've got a fantastic formula for a combat game.

Japan Studio recently released a video showing off Freedom Wars (formerly thought to be titled Panopticon), a dystopian action game filled with guns, mechs, and massive enemies. Set in the year 102013, the ruined Earth is essentially a battleground where convicted criminals are sent to fight giant monsters as punishment. And since everyone who commits a crime is found guilty, there's always some sort of epic battle going down.
