Inotia 2: A Wanderer of Luone will offer a Ranger class with new updated features

ChroniclesOfInotia2-Com2us-03 

With Com2uS releasing the most fully-featured RPG on the iPhone, the gaming giant is once again raising the bar by adding updates with brand new content. Com2uS’ previous success with Homerun Battle 3D has shown the power of what updates can do. With over 10 updates Homerun Battle 3D has been able to transform the game into something that truly gives the users “what they want”. Com2uS has maintained a successful business strategy of absorbing user input and implementing the most interesting ideas into the updates. This has allowed Homerun Battle 3D to stay in the top charts months after its release.

Com2uS’ most recent game, Inotia 2, delivers an extraordinarily immerse role-playing game with features that have taken the best of all existing RPGs and perfected them. Inotia 2 contains loads of content with over 200 quests, a party system that allows you to control 3 characters simultaneously, a look system that gives you a unique look to your character with each equipped gear, and 5 classes to choose from. The game has also done something that has never been seen before in the iPhone RPG world which is an online matchup mode. The matchup mode allows users to battle against ghost characters which determines your rank on the online ranking system.

The main features that make Inotia 2 better than the rest of the RPGs on the iPhone are the multiple classes combined with the party system. With a simple click of an icon, a user can switch from an axe-wielding knight to a powerful mage. This allows different players with the exact same game to have a completely different experience than each other. To expand on the 5 classes: knight, magician, priest, thief, and templar, Com2uS has announced that they are now developing a sixth class, a new Ranger class.

The Ranger class has the ability to attack from the distance like a magician while dealing large amounts of damage like a thief. New designs for customized ranger equipment and weapons are also in the works. With the new Ranger class totaling 6 different class types and 3 members per party, a user will have 20 unique party combinations to choose from.

Along with the new Ranger class, Inotia 2 will be offering a variety of new items using Apple’s In-App Purchase system. From larger backpacks to stronger mercenaries, these special items will be available for users who want a little extra boost to their character. The new items and new Ranger update is expected to release early February 2010.

Inotia 2: A Wanderer of Luone is available on the AppStore, click on the BUY NOW to get your copy

Lost Planet 2 Akrid Profile: Defolma

This cool piece of information is coming straight from Capcom-Unity’s very own community manager SNOW.  Snow runs us through some of the lesser but still deadly looking Akrid bosses we will all encounter in Lost Planet 2.  This game is shaping up to be EPIC !!  Enjoy the read.

 

As you know, Lost Planet 2 is full of extremely deadly bosses, like the Gordiant, Red Eye, and mysteriously named Akrid X. But what about some of the new smaller akrid? Since the the planet of EDN III is undergoing some drastic environmental changes, some new akrid have emerged. Among them is the Defolma, a smaller akrid, but still a very big threat to snow pirates. 

The Defolma is very octopus like, with 6 arms and a flexible body. It can go almost anywhere, even into tiny drainage pipes where it will wait for something to eat to come along. At the top of it’s head is a mouth, which is perfect for gobbling up any pirates it may encounter. The arms of this akrid have many uses, like grabbing prey, blocking attacks, and even electrocuting. It’s whip like arms have the ability to pinpoint a target and unleash a flash of electricity, and in confined spaces can catch a number of pirates off guard.

Thankfully, this akrid is still vulnerable to normal firearms you and your pirate friends will be wielding, but it will take some skill. Even though you can kill it, it usually appears when you least expect, and in narrow walk ways so it can capture more of food at once. Keep your distance… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Aliens vs. Predator™ – Story Trailer

Weyland-Yutani: Building Better Worlds… or perhaps, better hunting grounds.    I personally think it makes for better hunting grounds.  Check out this cool trailer from Sega’s / Rebellion’s Aliens  v Predator.  It’s looking pretty good.  I hope it can slap the bad taste that’s still in my mouth from Rouge Warrior something that I think everyone over at Rebellion would like to forget very quickly. 

And I believe that with Aliens v Predator soon to be release the bad taste will go away and happiness and joy will reign supreme, along with stealth kills, lots of screams and acid blood rain drops falling on everyone’s head.  I CANT WAIT !!

Watch  the trailer below and tell us if you can’t wait for the Hunt to begin once again too.
