BattleForge

Today, Phenomic announced that the play4free Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, BattleForge™ Renegade Edition card set that is now live. Players now have access to legendary units and monumental buildings from the Southern Wastes region of Nyn with over 60 additional cards now available through “Renegade Booster Packs” in the in-game store.

Two new support factions have been unleashed on the Battleforge universe, the Bandits and Stonekin, along with a host of new, innovative legendary creatures. With over 60 new units and buildings added to the BattleForge card pool, players will now be able to build a more diverse offensive strike or counter with new defensive strategies against rival players. BattleForge is also adding dual orb cards with special affinities that will deepen and enrich the strategic possibilities for the players’ decks and combat.

BattleForge is a Play4Free game that combines strategy, fantasy, trading cards and magical spells in a dynamic online environment. Combining the strategic, real-time gameplay of classics such as Command & ConquerTM with a fully enabled, online collectible community, BattleForge pioneers strategy gaming with its online multiplayer design and community features set. The collectible cards in the game are the tools of war -- each representing a spell, unit or building that is conjured directly onto the battlefield real time in stunning 3D graphics. BattleForge features single-player scenarios and cooperative scenarios supporting 2-12 players, as well as Player vs. Player (PvP) ranked and unranked duels. With co-op play, chat rooms, and a robust marketplace featuring direct trade, an auction hall and in-game mail, BattleForge is the first RTS to combine the social and community aspects of an MMO with an exciting RTS.
