Farlight had a stellar 2024, continuing their successful partnership with Lilith Games to bring the much-anticipated AFK Journey to mobile, catering to the ever-growing demand for idle RPGs. As we step into 2025, Farlight is not slowing down, with their latest project, Ace Trainer, already in soft-launch in regions like South Korea and the US.
So, what exactly is Ace Trainer? Think of it as a playful nod to Pokémon, where you collect, train, and level up fantastical creatures to battle on your behalf. But Farlight adds a unique twist inspired by games like Palworld, turning the gameplay into a thrilling tower defense experience against waves of zombies, rather than a traditional turn-based battle.
Adding to its eclectic nature, Ace Trainer incorporates pinball mechanics, allowing players to shoot and collect resources. This blend of genres—tower defense, pinball, and creature collection—creates a game that's as diverse as it is ambitious. While a global release might not be imminent, Farlight's decision to soft-launch in multiple regions signals high expectations for Ace Trainer.
**Far shot?** I'd describe Ace Trainer as a game that throws "everything and the kitchen sink" into the mix. From what we know so far, it's a blend of PvP, PvE, tower defense, and pinball that might just make your head spin. While I'm based in the UK and haven't had a chance to play it yet, the combination of these popular elements is intriguing, though I wonder if they can hold up under long-term scrutiny.
