GAMANIA ANNOUNCES BROWSER-BASED STRATEGY GAME, WEB KOIHIME MUSOU


Details and Screenshots Unveiled at the Official Teaser Site


IRVINE, Calif. – March 9, 2012 – Gamania Digital Entertainment (US) announced today that its popular free-to-play browser-based strategy game, Web Koihime Musou, will soon be coming to everyone with a US beanfun! account. Gamania plans to launch the Global English servers this summer, and until then players can get a sneak peek of the game at the new official teaser site: http://us.beanfun.com/koihime/signup/signup.aspx

 

Koihime is a popular Japanese IP loosely based on the classic Chinese tale, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Originally a visual novel, the IP has since spawned many different iterations, including manga, games, and anime. Web Koihime Musou, the latest entry in the series, is a browser-based strategy game where players must join forces with cute, yet deadly female Warlords in a quest to unify the Three Kingdoms.

 

"We're very excited to be introducing Web Koihime Musou to our English beanfun! players, as it's been our most successful browser game to date," said David Wong, COO of Gamania. "This success is partly due to the fact that Koihime has a strong fan-base worldwide, but it's also because we put a lot of effort into ensuring that the strategy and base-building elements are extremely fun and addictive".

 

Key Features

  • An Exciting Battle to Unify the Three Kingdoms – There are two ways to unify the Three Kingdoms: by conquering Kingdom Castles or through an Imperial Castle Raid. To unify the Three Kingdoms by conquering Kingdom Castles, the player must conquer all other Kingdom Castles and Lords to bring them under their control. The Imperial Castle Raid event is only conducted during the Imperial Castle Raid period. During this time, Societies can attack the Imperial Castle and earn Imperial Castle Raid points. At the end of this period, the Society with the most points is declared the victor and their Kingdom will be declared the unifier of the Three Kingdoms.
  • Cute, Sexy Warlords – The Warlords in Web Koihime Musou are all cute girl versions of famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters. Players will have over 100 of these female Warlords to choose from as Lord of either the Gi, Go, or Shoku Kingdom.
  • No Download – Web Koihime Musou doesn’t require a download or installation to play. All that's needed is a game account and a compatible web browser – allowing for players to be in-game in just a few minutes.
  • The Perfect Game for Even the Busiest of Lifestyles – Players can have plenty of fun even if they're too busy to devote a lot of time to playing. Web Koihime Musou allows gamers to prep their empire in short, five minute play-sessions, allowing it to grow even while they're away.

To get ready for Web Koihime Musou's upcoming summer release, interested parties can sign up for a US beanfun! account and learn more about the game at: http://us.beanfun.com/koihime/signup/signup.aspx

The game is still open to join and test pre-launch without a key.

Hi-Rez Studios Announces Tribes: Ascend Release Date and Releases Parody Trailer

SAN FRANCISCO. March 9, 2012. Today, at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Hi-Rez Studios announced that Tribes: Ascend will be released on April 12, 2012.

Tribes: Ascend is a fast paced sci-fi FPS for the PC that bills itself the "World's Fastest Shooter". Supporting the announcement Hi-Rez Studios also released a parody trailer titled "Tribes Ascend – Llama Island".

"Tribes is all about speed and movement", explains Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. "In fact the community uses the term llama to refer to a player moving too slowly, like a plodding llama. So this video demonstrates the perils of trying to capture a flag while going too slow. The outcome is predictable but no less tragic".

Tribes: Ascend is currently in Open Beta with over 400,000 players participating. Hi-Rez has announced that all player progress in Beta will carry over to the release build. Anyone interested in trying Tribes: Ascend can create an account and download the game from http://www.tribesascend.com, without the need for a beta key.
