"For CD Projekt RED, RPGs are all about telling amazing stories," said Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED. "We want to give players the power to tell the same kind of non-linear, branching stories that made The Witcher games so popular. Our fans have helped us for years to make our games the best they can be, and REDkit is part of embracing our community as a partner in game development."

Divines of the East Class Spotlight: Sword Saint the first of three playable classes in free-to-play RPG inspired by ancient Asian mythology

2013-05-19T22:58:00.000+01:00

Coming soon to Game321.com, Divines of the East is an upcoming free-to-play side-scrolling RPG 2D browser game that throws players into an ancient world brought to life with gorgeous, painstakingly hand-drawn graphics inspired by ancient Asian mythology. Strange and powerful creatures, Eastern-themed locations, and an exciting storyline are all awaiting players in Divines of the East; an RPG set to offer gamers a thrilling and truly unique taste of the Orient.

Publisher NGames has today detailed the playable Sword Saint class – a perfect choice for any Divines of the East adventurer hoping to be crowned the king (or queen) of melee.

Sword Saints live and die by their blades. They are the true close-combat warriors of the Orient, capable of leading the front line of any group into battle with their impervious defense, impressive speed, and powerful physical attack attributes.

Sword Saints prefer to stun their opponents with strong physical strikes, rather than use the magical effects of other class types. This enables Sword Saint players to deal massive amounts of physical damage to both single opponents and larger groups of enemies, leaving them vulnerable for supporting team members to sweep in and finish them off.

By tapping into the power of their trusty swords as they traverse the Oriental landscape, Sword Saints will permanently increase their strength, agility, critical hit, and max HP. These attributes can even be augmented for a limited time during battle by using the mysterious Power-up Sutra skill.

Although it isn't magic in the traditional sense, Sword Saints are capable of attacking with such breathtaking speed that their unique Ultimate Sword Wind strikes deal wind damage to their opponents. And with the Ultimate Sword Seduce skill – a dizzying display of sword movements and attacks – Saints can confuse their enemies so badly that they turn and attack their own team members.

Danish independent studio Full Control today released a downloadable gameplay scene depicting a combat scenario set in the jungle and ancient ruins of the fictional Caribbean Island of San Christobal from Jagged Alliance: Flashback. The gameplay scene shows the community the look and style of Full Control’s planned reset for the cult turn based franchise.

The scene can now be downloaded and explored, although it should be noted that Jagged Alliance: Flashback is currently in pre-production and both the style and core features are subject to change. The team has currently raised over $227,195 to successfully reset the franchise, and with a funding goal of $350,000.00, have six days to raise the remaining funds.

Set in the late-1980’s on the fictional Caribbean Island of San Christobal, Jagged Alliance: Flashback transports players back in time to the cold war era. The island will hold many hidden secrets, humorous stories and hostile environments, which makes a perfect setting for a fun and challenging game with lots of twists and turns.

Gameplay features will emphasize the core pillars that made the original games great: deep strategy, thrilling action and character RPG elements. The Kickstarter campaign gives the fans the opportunity to determine the scope and scale of Jagged Alliance: Flashback, directly influence the shape of the game and participate during its development. Pledges beyond the funding goal of $350,000 will kick off new stretch goals to expand the core game by adding content and gameplay features.

Launching across Europe, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity for the Nintendo 3DS system is unlike other Pokémon games in many ways.

Magnagates are gates into dungeons that you’ll find everywhere you look in the real world. Activate the “Discover a Magnagate!” function and point the Nintendo 3DS camera at any round object, and you might locate an entrance to a Mystery Dungeon. And in multiplayer mode, you can join up with people nearby who are also playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity to explore and battle through dungeons together.

To supplement the main adventure, additional dungeons are available for purchase as downloadable content. Until June 20th, the first of these dungeons, Poké Forest, will be available for free. Once you’ve acquired downloadable content, tap the DLC button on the main menu or visit the DLC Guide in Post Town to play these new dungeons.*
