Fruit Attacks Invades iOS, Android, and Amazon Devices Today

Take a Bite out of the Extraterrestrial Fruitageddon Today with Fruit Attacks 

SEATTLE — July 30, 2015 — En Masse Entertainment, publisher of TERA — one of the most-played MMORPGs on Steam — today announced the release of its first mobile title: Fruit Attacks. Available free on iOS, Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire devices across North America and Europe, Fruit Attacks finds players defending Earth from an incoming fruit invasion. Featuring a unique “hook-shot” mechanic, Fruit Attacks offers a refreshing take on the traditional arcade shooter.

Fruit has never been so rotten! Stop the incoming fruitageddon by battling waves of angry strawberries, apples, bananas and other fruit as they descend upon Earth with a vengeance. With an intuitive two-finger control system, players can easily take rapid shots or test their skills with more advanced arcing hook shots. Shaking the device also adds special full-screen attacks to help seize victory when the invasion intensifies with stronger and more challenging enemies, including giant fruit bosses. By learning to vary strategies on the fly, players will crush hordes of enemies into fruit juice as they master powerful combos, timed attack levels, defense-mode stages, and boss battles.

Players start with a single hero in early battles, but may eventually acquire six different heroes and dozens of minions that provide unique powers and abilities. Players can earn, combine, and utilize a wide variety of bonuses — including minion options and power-ups — to build customized teams to suit their personal play styles. With 180 total stages across three episodes and two game modes, plus frequent updates coming in the future, Fruit Attacks will challenge fans with its tasty and delicious offerings.

Fruit Attacks will be free-to-download on the App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon App Store on July 30. For more information please visit the official Fruit Attacks product page.

KOEI TECMO ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF TACTICAL ACTION TITLE BASED ON RENOWNED ANIME AND MANGA EPIC!

Title to be released across Europe in early 2016!

Hertfordshire, 30^th July 2015- Koei Tecmo Europe is delighted to announce today the upcoming release of Arslan: the Warriors of Legend, a tactical action title based on the epic novel, manga, and anime IP ‘The Heroic Legend of Arslan’.

Originally written as a novella in the late 1980’s, the Heroic Legend of Arslan has been adapted to manga and anime numerous times, with the most prominent being the 2013 release of a manga series by famed illustrator Hiromu Arakawa (the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist). It tells the story of the young crown prince of Pars, Arslan, as he is forced out of his kingdom when his father, the king, is betrayed and defeated and his domain conquered. Arslan and his few companions must re-assemble an army and fight against overwhelming odds to regain his throne and liberate his kingdom. Through his exploits he reaches emotional maturity, while the series also tackles underlying issues of slavery, religious fanaticism, betrayal, and humanity.

The game adaptation of this magnificent story seamlessly blends the fast paced tactical action gameplay indicative of the Warriors franchise with a stunningly engaging narrative. Using cell-shaded graphics and basing all character design on the anime series Arslan: The Warriors of Legend delivers a gaming experience designed to fully immerse the player into Arslan’s universe!

The game is currently slated to be released in early 2016 in Europe, on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. It will also be simultaneously available digitally on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

To celebrate the announcement of this exciting new title, Koei Tecmo has released a wealth of assets, including key art, screenshots, and a promotional trailer. The asset batch focuses on the first playable characters announced:

Arslan: The young prince of the kingdom of Pars

Daryun: A skilled commander of the Pars cavalry

Narsus: A extremely capable strategist, and

Elam: Narsus’s squire

As well as two of the stages where Arslan’s drama will unfold: The plains of Atropatene and the capital city of Ecbatana!
