New Action MMO Metal Assault Announces Playable Characters and Beta

Meet Metal Assault’s Playable Characters: Introducing the team of Mercenary All-Stars

Aeria Games proudly presents an exciting video introduction to Metal Assault’s deadly, fully-trained team of assassins, each of whom you definitely do not want to meet in a darkened alley on evening stroll.  They are, however, the perfect skilled killers for exterminating mobs of rogue terrorists in Metal Assault’s non-stop mercenary warfare.  Which homicidal soldier matches your preferred assault strategy?

The cast of playable characters in Metal Assault:

Well-Rounded Recruit – A balanced skill set complete with a personal quest for vengeance, Carl is the perfect choice for new players.

Brutal Warrior – A seasoned soldier with the scars to prove it, Burton is fully stocked with hit points and strength, but slower on speed and long range tactics.

Speedy Sniper – Prefer to hang back and take out enemies before they hear you coming? Marie is a fast and deadly sniper, but weaker in close-range combat.

Scout and Support – Round out your team with Ai, a speedy and nimble recruit.

Once you select a hero, you can customize your appearance and start playing. Complete quests and defeat enemies to earn experience points and upgrade licenses. Through cunning attacks and enemy-flattening strategy, you will be able to consistently boost your character’s weapons, skills and outfits until you finally emerge as the ultimate executioner.  You will need all the ammo, aptitude and firepower you can muster to blaze your way through this side-scrolling, frenzied action shooter!

Lucent Heart Celebrates Its First Wedding

Gamania Digital Entertainment announced today that Lucent Heart has married its first couple in-game. Having recently completed its second sneak peek beta, Lucent Heart has seen tremendous activity as players raced to try out the virtual matchmaking system. Even with limited playtime available, hundreds of couples were matched, relationships were formed, and for the first time, a couple was married.

In Lucent Heart, couples are brought together by the matchmaker, Cupid. Once they are matched they get to build their relationship through questing, quizzes, and adventuring with each other throughout the game. Marriage takes a strong commitment, as a couple must invest enough time together to reach the required “Cupid Level”, along with raising enough money to fund the wedding.

Gamania would like to congratulate its first married couple, Chikane and Tsuki. Through their own dedication, along with support from their guild and friends, Chikane and Tsuki are the first couple to fully realize the matchmaking potential of Lucent Heart.

“What really left a great impression was the help and support of our Guild, Myriad,” said Chikane. “Once the other members heard we were trying to get married, they all chipped in and helped out. Some members even asked random people on the server to contribute, and they helped without even knowing us. Everything came together because the whole server was in on it!”

“The wedding was really beautiful,” said Tsuki. “It made me nervous even though it’s only a game. I really loved my wedding dress…and I absolutely loved the carriage ride!”

Grepolis 2.0 Unveiled

About one year after its release, the strategy game Grepolis is close to start a new era. With the update to version 2.0, a lot of new features are implemented into the Browser game. Within the next weeks, the existing worlds are supposed to be updated as well.

“With version 2.0, we have improved Grepolis in all of its aspects”, says InnoGames founder Hendrik Klindworth. “The graphics for the isle world and the city have become much more realistic. In the game play, we have simplified the start by easing the farming system for the players. You can get more resources with less effort now and therefore proceed faster. Simultaneously, we have introduced the Seven Wonders of the World as the decisive strategic element for the late game phases”, he reveals.

In Grepolis 2.0, those wonders (Pyramids, Hanging Garden, Temple, Statue of Zeus, Mausoleum, Colossus, Lighthouse) define the conditions how to win a world. They can only be built by alliances, not by individual players. When an alliance has finished a certain number of wonders, it wins the world – and by this opens the gate to a whole new game level: the so called hero worlds.

Mr. Klindworth: “Our aim is that an alliance might win the world after one and a half to two years. But of course, we do not want to lose those passionate players afterwards. That is why we offer very special awards to all players who have survived a world for such a long time: the ascension to the hero worlds.” Those worlds will have exclusive content like special units and also the game balance will be different compared to the regular Grepolis worlds. Or to say it in another way: The hero worlds will be a very special challenge for all of those who have proven to be masters of strategy.

With six million registered users, Grepolis is one of the popular strategy Browser games worldwide.
