Monster Strike, a physics-based RPG, has been a significant force in the mobile gaming market, known for its unique gameplay that combines elements of billiards with character collection and progression.
The game frequently collaborates with popular anime series, with another recent collaboration seeing the game add units based on Bocchi the Rock!.
The Apothecary Diaries (also known as Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) is an anime series adapted from a light novel, which has gained considerable traction for its historical mystery, compelling characters, and intriguing setting within the imperial court.
This partnership offers fans of both franchises a chance to experience their favorite characters in a new gaming context.
The collaboration introduces several prominent characters from The Apothecary Diaries into the Monster Strike universe.
Players will find Maomao (voiced by Aoi Yuuki) and Jinshi (voiced by Takeo Ōtsuka) as new collectible units in the limited-time gacha event, “Green Fantasy x Midnight Party x The Apothecary Diaries.”
Both characters will appear as 6-star units capable of “Beast Evolution”..
