Divines of the East introduces Servant System

NGames has announced that there will be a Servant System for Divines of the East (DotE), the new free-to-play, side-scrolling RPG 2D browser game for PC, currently in open beta on Game321.com.

DotE allows players to choose and customise one type of Servant to their own gameplay style from the six options; Beast, Spirit Beast, Half-demon, Ghost, Rare Beast and Mythical Beast, as shown in the gallery below. The Servants are best served to conquer the Orient when players:

Find Unseals to unlock new abilities to transform and possess Spirits to strengthen their core attributes
Practice with them, either via free practice, quintupling practice or instant clear to gain EXP
Carefully explore the ancient world to collect enough rare materials to redeem stronger SSS Servants
Obtain SSS Servant materials using the Sennong Golden Egg

If adventurers decide their team isn’t quite working, a Servant’s Talent and type can be reset by using the Transform function on a Spirit, as well as players can unlock sealed Servant types by purchasing the necessary items to use them.

For more information, you can check out the game’s official website here, to register now for a chance to join the Divines of the East beta test.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is hitting hard today with its newest map pack, entitled “Vengeance.” Vengeance is the third DLC pack for the wildly popular first person shooter from Activision and Treyarch.

The newest map pack comes with four new multiplayer maps, one of which is a re-imagined fan favorite. Players who pick this pack up will also receive the newest zombie experience entitled “Buried.”

The four new maps include:

“Cove,” – The stage is set for all-out conflict on this small, forgotten island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with players battling it out amongst the wreckage of a jet that crash-landed during a smuggling operation gone wrong.
“Detour,” – The action plays out atop a destroyed suspension bridge, high above an East Coast waterway, packed with scattered vehicles, exposed iron and collapsed pavement enables head-to-head action playing out on multiple levels.
“Rush,” – Prepare for fast, close-quarters engagements in this paintball course turned full-combat arena, giving players new opportunities and challenges to use the cover to their advantage.
“Uplink,” – In this re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favourite multiplayer map “Summit” from the original Call of Duty®: Black Ops, players clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility.

Treyarch is expanding the canon of Zombie fiction once again with “Buried.” You’ll meet up with old characters as well as new ones in an Old West mining town. It also includes a weapon so powerful it will appear in all other Zombie maps: the Ray Gun Mark II.

The Vengeance map pack is available now for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points. Other platforms will see the release of the DLC in coming weeks and months.

“The group of companies’ new names will encompass the full dimension from both Publishing and Distribution to develop European business further and reinforce the organization in one unified team behind our logo. This name unification is the final outcome of the subsidiaries integration, concluding the full process”

Namco Bandai and indiePub Entertainment, the teams behind Storm, have announced that their newest title, Capsized, will be released for the Xbox Live Arcade on July 5th. They’ve also said it will be coming to the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 later this summer.

Capsized is a fast-paced 2D action platformer. It’s set in an immersive alien world full of odd life forms, with strange landscapes done in a hand-drawn art style. Your ship has crash landed on a mysterious planet and you’ll have to navigate through dangerous locations, fighting blood-thirsty being to save your crewmates and escape the hostile world. You’ll use a grappling hook, jetpack, and more as you rescue your shipmates from the dangers of the planet.

Capsized combines elements of FPS titles with physics-based combat and classic platform games. There are more than a dozen levels with multiple modes. The Xbox version also includes three exclusive levels, online multiplayer, and online co-operative modes.

Features of Capsized includes:

Particle Packed Weapons: Sure, the grappling hook is pretty dern useful but you create awesomely explosive destruction with weapons including the Plas-Mortar, Ion Repeater, Nano-Caster and the Quasar Array (and make friggin’ black holes!).
Campaign Mode: Test your mettle against nasty baddies in thirteen levels with lush and varied terrains.
Three Arcade Modes: Fight endless waves of enemies in Survival Mode, grab oxygen to survive Last Gasp Challenges or test your survival skills in the weapons-free Armless Mode.
Lush Environments: Enjoy strange and amazing landscapes illustrated in a unique, hand-drawn style.
Intense Gameplay: Test your constitution with more than twenty hours of heart-throbbing, thumb-busting action

Fashionista Mimi Joins The Fight In Digimon Masters Online

Yesterday (July 2, 2013) Joymax welcomed former Digidestined and girly-girl fashionista Mimi Tachikawa to the online MMORPG Digimon Masters Online. If you don’t know who Mimi is she appeared in the very first Season of the Digimon TV series and subsequently in the second series alongside the next generation of Digidestined. She’s a lovable young lady who is always out to look stylish and is always up to date with fashion, she loves her friends and she loves her Digital partner but she’s always been a little bit selfish and, somewhat, irresponsible which is probably because of her childhood where she lived on “easy street” with her wealthy and regal family.

Players of Digimon Masters Online will have their chance to earn Mimi in a new event that started on the 2nd of July and will run all the way up until July 30th which is at the end of the month. Mimi the “exchange tamer” will be awarded to all ranked members of each server so keep training and battling, always getting stronger so you too can snag Mimi before the event is over.

For more information and to actually download and play the game head to the Digimon Masters Online site here. Keep an eye out on the site to see any and all Digimon Masters Online updates, as well as so much more, and don’t forget to hit up our comments section to drop us a line.
