Avalon Heroes
Online RTS/RPG known as Avalon Online in Asia and coming to Europe via burda:ic.
Munich, Germany, August 06, 2009
Calling all strategists! With Avalon Heroes, the Munich game publisher burda:ic has obtained yet another promising license, which will make an impression in the world of online strategy games. This is a true highlight of the genre in a free-to-play version, a treat for real-time strategy and role-playing game fans alike! By obtaining the Avalon Heroes license, yet another title will be made available, probably this year, at alaplaya.net, guaranteeing an exciting gaming experience through a unique combination of familiar game elements.
Avalon Heroes offers a breathtaking combination of real-time strategy and role playing with competitive elements, similar to the successful game modification DotA for WarCraft III. The new burda:ic top title is backed by the Asian publisher WeMade Entertainment, who has signed on WeMade Fox, one of the most famous pro gamer clans, and Jang "Moon" Jae Ho, the world's best-paid professional gamer, who supports the development of Avalon Heroes through his feedback.
On the one hand, Avalon Heroes, known as Avalon Online in Asia, focuses on the development of up to one hundred customizable hero characters, whose abilities the player gets to develop in the best RPG tradition. On the other hand, Avalon Heroes is all about mastering countless quests, together with or against other players. Single-player campaigns and hero-based multiplayer modes prepare the players for the greatest challenge of all: endless fighting and development of their own successful strategies.
In Avalon Heroes, you will encounter winged knights, lion-headed or minotaur-like fighters, as well as gigantic combat turtles, firebirds, and swarms of tiny creatures of light. But only those who pick the right strategy and the right teammates will be able to prevail in the online battles, because the eternal war between the two factions of Oriens and Aeonia can only be won as a team.
The Strategy mode is merely one way of exploring Avalon Heroes; the new release from burda:ic has a lot more to offer. Extensive quests in Scenario (=single-player) mode will fascinate players just as much as collective monster hunting in the dungeons of the Adventure mode. This gives players a chance to experience the game world in any way they want. Monotony is a thing of the past. Avalon Heroes offers thrilling real-time strategy!
