Ghostlight make war fun with their first DS title: Glory Days 2
Press Release:
UK publisher Ghostlight Ltd. are continuing their exciting expansion plans and further broadening an impressive release schedule by moving onto the Nintendo DS format, with the sensational forthcoming title Glory Days 2. Developed by French based ODenis Studio, multilingual Glory Days 2 is scheduled for a May release in all PAL territories.
Glory Days 2 offers classic good versus evil shoot-em-up action, combined with ferocious real time strategy; a first on the DS. This unique combination of genres, combined with the Nintendo DS's innovative control system and dual screens, makes for an immersive and, most importantly, fun gaming experience. 3D glasses functionality brings another dimension to gameplay, enhancing graphics and adding depth to battle-damaged landscapes.
The player controls one of three heroic aviators, progressing through 16 expansive campaigns, gradually evolving from classic WWII aircraft to modern-day F14's and deadly Apache helicopters. Flying aces engage in dogfights with the enemy, alternating between machine guns, and heat-seeking missiles to down their foes and claim air supremacy. Fearless helicopter pilots deploy troops behind enemy lines and weave through flak, bombing key strategic units in a compelling tug-of-war for territorial possession.
Players take command over ground units, allocating funds to build tanks, ground troops and mobile ground-to-air defences during real time battles. Funds can be accrued by capturing the opponent's bases and saving civilians in Choplifter-esque rescue missions. As players' progress their military might grows, unlocking V2 rockets, drones, paratroopers and devastating B-2 stealth bombers.
Players can go head-to-head in the fierce and gripping WiFi multiplayer mode, supporting up to 8 players split into 2 cooperative teams, both with one objective; capture and destroy the enemy command centre. Battles are fully customisable, allowing players to choose vehicle allocations, gameplay type (action, tactical or strategic), length of play and even weather conditions.
Adrian Clews, Marketing Executive, comments: "Glory Days 2 is highly addictive, with fantastic gameplay, combining the best elements of classics such as Choplifter and Silkworm blended with Advanced Wars in one glorious game." Adrian continues "The multiplayer game and 3D glasses functionality is sensational and sure to be a massive hit with DS owners."
