#COMPASS 2.0 is inspired by NHN PlayArt and Dwango’s 2016 mobile game, which is described as a 3v3 “real-time online strategy game” where players are tasked with collecting points on a map and building decks with the skill cards they collect. The game has been downloaded more than 15 million times since its initial launch in 2016, and is available for download on iOS, Android, and Amazon app stores.
The game has also inspired several animated shorts from TMS Entertainment and Echoes in 2018.
Crunchyroll will stream the series under the English title #COMPASS2.0 ANIMATION PROJECT and describes the main synopsis as:
In the combat providence analysis system, “COMPASS2.0,” heroes gather alongside human partners in a dreamlike space. The heroes have to keep fighting to produce enough energy to keep the system running. One hero named 13 is a troublemaker who refuses to find a partner. When 13 is nearly kicked out, a new player named Jin agrees to join him. Can they bring peace to the world of #COMPASS2.0?
