Toylogic have announced the development of Happy Wars for the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Happy Wars is a casual multi-player action game in which a large number of players control comical characters in fun battles.

"In a variety of fantasy battlefields including grasslands, a dark world, and the ocean floor, players can control any of 3 types of characters: warrior, mage, and cleric. Cooperate with friends to enjoy action on the grand scale, casting magic spells, attacking castles, and so on. For off-line fun, the player can take on missions in the solo campaign mode."

"Happy Wars is our first original title and we want to deliver it from Japan to the world," said Yoichi Take, director of Happy Wars. "We explored deeply into the fun of playing together with friends. The game has been jam-packed with gimmicks and systems to appeal to all gamers from hardcore to casual. We promise unprecedented enthusiasm, screams and excitement, so by all means, have fun with Happy Wars!"
