CAMBRIDGE-based Jagex says it is delighted with the progress of its latest online strategy game, War of Legends – and believes it could alter the landscape of online games forever.
The free-to-play, Flash-based game, based on ancient Chinese mythology, has attracted hundreds of thousands of online gamers since January.
This month, a new server called King’s Destiny was opened to accommodate the demand.
Mark Gerhard, ceo at Jagex Games Studio, said: “It is great to see so many players flock to War of Legends so soon after its launch and it is especially encouraging to see entire alliances independently migrate from other real-time strategy games to War of Legends.”
The game charges players with the task of building vast empires, appointing leaders and forming multi-player alliances.
Jagex, which is best known for the record-breaking Runescape, believes the detailed back story and development quality raises the bar for this type of game.
“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Mark Gregson, War of Legends’ community manager.
“Players are really enjoying the depth of gameplay, which is missing from other browser-based RTS games.”
