Cronous: The Wars of the Gods has become a War of Men
Nov 26th
It has been years already after the legendary battle in the world of Cronous happened wherein the three revered first-class gods Lapis, Exiliss and Coellis defeated the alien first-class god Maquapel. The three gods vanquished the evil that is Maquapel by sacrificing themselves in the final battle of the gods: Lapis took Maquapel’s heart with him and sealed himself in the torn Leto Island, while his brother Exiliss sealed Maquapel’s heartless body inside himself at Uranus. The youngest brother Coellis, who had taken the first move to fight Maquapel off their continent, lived in a shrine to watch over the people and vowed to protect them. For years, the world of Cronous experienced peace and tranquility—until an insurgence started to arise, threatening to divide the gods and people of Cronous once more.
Who will be the warrior who will bring back the peace that once prevailed in Cronous?
Will it be a Fighter, a Valkyrie, a Magician or a Savage?
Will you take the challenge?
Take a look at Cronous, the latest game distributed by Amped Games.
Amped Games acquires 3D online fighting game hit GetAmped
Jul 19th
Casual games can be more than cute and cuddly; they could also be deadly addicting and creatively stimulating.
It was exactly this formula that eventually made Philippine online game publisher Amped Games sign the deal with Cyberstep, Inc., the Japanese game developer of the 3D online fighting game GetAmped.
Amped Games, formerly known as ABS-CBN Multimedia Inc., has taken the Asian hit game GetAmped under its wings alongside Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Tantra Online and the recently acquired online tactical First Person Shooter game WarRock.
Developed by Cyberstep, Inc. in Japan in 2001, GetAmped was serviced in eight Asian countries including Korea, China, Indonesia, Japan and Thailand. It was touted as the “new Cinderella in Korean online game industry” in March 2006 by the Korean Digital Times when GetAmped reached a recorded sale of 22 Billion Won and a net profit of 9 Billion Won in 2004. Even after three years of service in Korea, GetAmped still continues to stay afloat in the midst of new online games, having exceeded 10 million registered users in October 2005. GetAmped has soon risen as the world’s first online fighting game with the highest subscription in 2006.
Amped Games expects GetAmped’s vivid environment, simple keyboard controls and intuitive features to appeal to the younger generation of gamers. GetAmped takes on the 3D online fighting game in a new light with its unique character creation tool, fun and comical fighting style combination options and exciting gaming modes that made it a hit all over Southeast Asia.
GetAmped: Tournament of the Century
It is the year 2999 and the world is in chaos. In an effort to bring peace and harmony in humanity, the tournament of the century called GetAmped is organized. Heroes of all forms are expected to enter the tournament to amplify their strengths and brave the tests of strength, physical endurance and dexterity. The greatest fighters will be pitted against each other to become the next generation’s leader. Only one can lead mankind out of the dark times. Who will rise above the adrenaline-pumping death matches and the remarkable sporting challenges of GetAmped to bring mankind its salvation from the chaos of the world?
GetAmped is more than a fighting game as it gives players several options to be creative with their characters, which is simply not offered in other casual fighting games. With GetAmped, the players will get to experience more than the usual gaming routine as it allows players to create the most original characters by combining numerous Styles, Avatars, Accessories and Items.
Choose the character gender, race and fighting styles in Styles. Purchase parts such as the hair, eyes, mouth, and clothes in Avatar. Items in Accessory will yield additional special abilities for the character’s fighting style, while the weapons can be purchased in Items. The most exciting part of character creation though is using the game’s unique Skin Edit Tool, which allows the user to coordinate limitless character patterns. Tweak the character to make it look like a movie or a cartoon hero. Lengthen its ears, add fangs, put freckles on the face—all of these are possible with the GetAmped’s Skin Edit Tool.
GetAmped also allows players to make their own fighting styles by combining various accessories, weapons and character styles. The game stores at least 100,000 unique fighting style combinations, which will increase with the addition of new and consumable items such as vehicles and drinks.
This casual game also spells fun. A maximum of eight users can be in a game room at the same time to play GetAmped’s several game modes. Knock out opponents in the Amped Championship mode, or lead team to victory in Team Championship. Fight to death in Amped Deathmatch or strategize the most creative ways to eliminate other teams in Team Deathmatch. Shoot basketballs and kick soccer balls in Amped Sportsmatch. Defeat as many opponents as possible in Amped and Team Dogfight!
Take on the Challenge Modes and fight against all kinds of NPCs, train basic skills at the Tutorial to defeat the enemy Nyaan, or finish off all enemies at the Roseus Factory, where the toughest fighters lurk.
GetAmped is generously peppered with over 200 stages to play and exciting variety of game modes. Casual online fighting games will never be seen in the same light again after GetAmped.
GetAmped Philippines will start its Closed Beta phase on August 2007.
