Ever since I first heard about Tragnarion Studios’ Doodle Hex for the DS, I’d been thinking how great a fit the hex-drawing puzzle combat game would be on Nintendo’s Wii. Apparently Tragnarion was thinking the same thing, and now that the Spanish company has acquired an official Wii developer licence, it’s only a matter of time before the Doodle Hex saga makes its big-screen debut.
I’ve been keeping my eye on Spanish development team Tragnarion’s Doodle Hex ever since the art style caught my eye back in August of last year. It’s basically a puzzle game where players use the DS stylus to draw various runes on the screen, casting spells to disrupt their enemy, restore their health, or transform their opponents into something a bit less threatening. With over 200 runes to collect and trade, 14 different characters each with their own magical specialties, and Wi-Fi capability for two player battles, Doodle Hex sounds to me like a win, and now we know when it’s coming out. Pinnacle Software has announced the game will be hitting store shelves in June, when we’ll finally be able to tell if the gameplay is anywhere near as pretty as the pictures.
