Source: Indomitus is coming, are you ready? The release of Koramgame's newest free-to-play MMORTS, Indomitus, is looming on the horizon. Indomitus promises to stand out from the monotony of countless medieval and Roman themed browser games on the market. In addition to groundbreaking and epic MMORTS game play, Indomitus also offers an exciting, fresh new world for players to experience. Based on the barbarian invasions of ancient Europe, this savage and war-torn world is the perfect stage for the epic battles that await you. In Indomitus, you will relive the wars and struggles of the barbarian tribes that have been forgotten by history. For centuries, the Roman Empire used all its might to push these tribes back to the dark, uncivilized corners of the world. Faced with the overwhelming Roman legions, tribe chieftains were forced to retreat ever further into the hinterlands of Europe and be forgotten. Corruption and political conflict have exposed chinks in the Roman defenses, and the barbarian tribes are ready for vengeance. Eight different tribes are preparing for the ultimate war of domination, and the fate of Europe hangs in the balance. Frankish, Gothic, Gaelic, Hunnic, Vandal, Saxon, Viking, and Byzantine tribes will struggle until only one remains standing. Only you can decide which tribe prevails. In the twilight of Roman hegemony, the dawn of a new age of barbarians and warlords is at hand. It is your job to lead your barbarian tribe out of ignominy and unify all of Europe under your command. You will need to work together with thousands of teammates to capture enemy cities and expand your growing empire. The war will be savage and relentless as you wage city sieges with up to a thousand other players in a single battle and execute massive military strategies. Indomitus is coming, are you ready? Excited about Indomitus? Keep an eye out for another gameplay and core content update next week!

| Land of Chaos Online introduces Lacrimosa Posted: 31 May 2011 05:29 PM PDT Lacrimosa, the latest character to become playable in Land of Chaos Online, is now available. Lacrimosa is one of the last remaining succubi of her kind, and has set out to get revenge on Nosferatu for destroying her family. Her stats are focused in DEX, INT, WIS, and MP. Lords of Chaos Online is published by Alaplaya (burda:ic), which also publishes Avalon Heroes, S4 League, and Argo Online.  Land of Chaos Online Gameplay Screenshot Source: burda:ic, a leading publisher of online games worldwide, today introduced a brand-new character to RTS Action MMO LOCO – Land of Chaos Online: the sultry succubus Lacrimosa. Players who want to start luring opponents into Lacrimosa's dainty-yet-demonic clutches today can enter the battle-torn world of LOCO at http://loco.alaplaya.net/. Succubi are known for their ability to enter dreams and turn pleasant visions into nightmares, sparking fear in a dreamer and siphoning the fear to enhance their power. Born from the corruption of the Apostles of Heaven, the humans of Hellia have feared the succubi in their region for centuries, but this all changed when Nosferatu destroyed the last of the demonic clan over 200 years ago. Since the supposed succubi extinction, humans have regarded the supernatural beings as nothing more than fables. One member of the succubus clan, however, managed to escape Nosferatu's deadly rampage. Hiding away from the onslaught, Lacrimosa witnessed her entire family being slaughtered at the hands of the rival vampire and now, years later, she is exacting her revenge. After experimenting on countless animals and humans, Lacrimosa successfully created a powerful ally to assist her vengeful death wish but was betrayed by her creation when it escaped and told Nosferatu of Lacrimosa's whereabouts. After barely escaping a second attack by Nosferatu, Lacrimosa is now determined to finish the job herself and has entered the Land of Chaos to put an end to Nosferatu once and for all.

| League of Legends Gameplay Video #2 Posted: 31 May 2011 04:38 PM PDT To Learn More About the Game, Check out our League of Legends Page.League of Legends is a 3D multiplayer online battle arena MMO published by Riot Games. Gameplay wise it is remarkably similar to Warcraft III’s enormously popular custom game ‘Defense of the Ancients (DotA)’ as well as S2 Game’s Heroes of Newerth. The video above is a full match with commentary (Heads up, it’s a cool 50+ mins). Other games similar to League of Legends include Avalon Heroes and Realm of the Titans. The game has an enormous amount of variety there are over 70 playable heroes with many more in development. In addition, players can further ‘customize’ their characters through the game’s ‘mastery’ system. Anyone who has played and enjoyed DotA will almost certainly love League of Legends, as the game offers much more than it’s Warcraft III counterpart. In the videos above, I simply joined a game and played through it, ending with a not-so-goo score. To learn more about League of Legends check out the official MMOHut League of Legends page, which includes a detailed review, tons of screenshots, and additional videos. |
