TIGER KNIGHT: EMPIRE WAR FROM OASIS GAMES JINGLES IN THE HOLIDAYS WITH CHRISTMAS TREATS

TIGER KNIGHT: EMPIRE WAR FROM OASIS GAMES JINGLES IN THE HOLIDAYS WITH CHRISTMAS TREATS

Oasis Games Ltd, a leading independent Chinese publisher, today announced that Tiger Knight: Empire War, its massively multiplayer online tactical combat game, is celebrating the holidays with special treats for players, a new DLC pack and a sweet deal through December 27. There’s no better way to have a joyful Yuletide than charging into battle on a horse wearing reindeer antlers, jingle bells and a Santa hat!

First off, players can change their hall to a winter wonderland scene with snowmen. Extending the celebration into gameplay events, four new holiday-themed events are now available: Soldier Compassion, Protect the People, Display of Power and Merry Christmas.

Perhaps the ultimate way to share holiday joy as a tiger knight is to earn the new Reindeer Costume, which can be achieved by playing through the new events. With the costume equipped, players can exchange solstice greetings as they ride down opponents from atop a steed decked out in antlers, bells, Santa hat, and all the trimmings! “It’s a wonderful life here in Tiger Knight,” they’ll shout. Now come join my reindeer games so we can have a holly jolly Christmas!

After the battle is over, players can toast their defeated opponents under a fir tree decorated with gifts. Should they wish to expand their military power and dominate the battlefield even more, a new arms DLC is available, containing 5X Extend Barrack cards, 5X Soldier Seal, and 50,000 copper. New players can jump into the action as well with a new best offer that combines the existing four DLC packs released thus far into one bundle available at a 40% discount.

Tiger Knight: Empire War is an Unreal 3-based game that immerses players in third-person battles combining action gameplay with player-controlled mounted warriors and strategic, large-scaled MMO battles. War has broken out with four factions vying for control and deception is the name of the game. Players take complete control of their warfare experience by choosing to command troops or take the field on their own to become the sole conquering hero. Deep customization includes over 400 weapons, 400 armor types and 75 arm types, allowing players to truly personalize their character.

Victory and loss is experienced in numerous modes including PvP, in which up to five players per faction control up to 40 warriors per side including high level tiger knights. In battle, communication, strategy and tactics are as important as individual performance and battlefield skill. Mounted combat is a historical part of combat for the era and players will rely on their horse to triumph over the enemy, just as real knights did. Climb atop your steed and get ready to charge into battle in Tiger Knight: Empire War!

Tiger Knight: Empire War is developed by NetDragon and is published by Oasis Games in North America and Europe for PC via Steam. Early access to the game, which includes the Three Kingdoms and Rome, is now available on three servers via Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/534500.

Persona 5 Trailers Introduce Three More Confidants

Atlus USA has taken another brief break from introducing the main characters of Persona 5 to focus on another set of three “confidants” that will be helping out the Phantom Thieves as they play through the game. These characters are ones that players will be able to build and maintain relationships with and obtain special skill bonuses, useful services, and more.

Hifumi Togo, Sadayo Kawakami, and Toranosuke Yoshida are introduced this time around and you can check out their intros and details below.

Hifumi Togo

It’s never a good idea to go out Phantom Thieving without some sort of plan, but luckily the team can learn all about strategy from the brilliant, and beautiful, Shogi player Hifumi Togo. Spending time playing Shogi with Hifumi will help develop useful abilities to use during battle, such as swapping out members mid-fight, fleeing from ambushes, and more! There’s a lot to learn from a grandmaster such as herself, plus it’s amusing to watch her get insanely competitive during games.

Sadayo Kawakami

Sadayo Kawakami is the protagonist’s homeroom teacher at Shujin Academy… who also secretly moonlights as a maid. She doesn’t want her side job to be made public, so to keep it a secret she strikes a deal with the protagonist: She’ll let him slack off in her class in exchange for his silence. While this may not seem like a big deal, IT TOTALLY IS! Having to freedom to slack off gives the protagonist extra time for important endeavors like reading books, creating infiltration tools, or sleeping. Oh, and she can cook and clean for you if you pay for it (maid outfit included).

Toranosuke Yoshida

Finding an honest politician is like finding a needle in a haystack, but Toranosuke Yoshida is a public servant who genuinely cares for the people. He may not have the most successful track record, but he’s a humble man who certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Toranosuke can be found at Shibuya Station Square giving rousing sermons about changing the corrupt system and protecting Japan’s future. While his words fall on mostly deaf ears, the protagonist can spend time with him to learn the invaluable art of speech. Developing a silver tongue will unlock negotiations skills in battle, such as being able to ask for more money or items from enemies.
