Chillingo and Gimka Entertainment Launch
Defender Chronicles In Apple’s
App Store
Chillingo and US-based development studio Gimka Entertainment have launched
their tower defense game – Defender Chronicles in Apple’s App Store. This app
takes gamers back to the glory days of epic battles, desperate princesses,
artifacts
hunting and marvelous fantasy on the iPhone and iPod touch.
Defender Chronicles presents a unique blend of role-playing adventure and
tower
defense, seen from a fresh side-view perspective. The game tells the story of
the
kingdom of Athelia, currently under siege by an army of orcs and the undead. You
must install berserkers, rangers, halfings, mages, warriors, and archers along
the
streets and paths through the kingdom to stop those advancing monsters. Every so
often, you must work hard to bring down a massive boss monster, such as an ogre
or golem.
The game features 5 hand-drawn battlegrounds sporting the side-view
perspective
that will allow you to zoom in on the action. You can take a stand against the
hordes
with six different defense factions including a warrior, archer, berserker,
ranger,
halfling, and mage. Each defender has its own unique ability. You can choose
from 5
different game modes as well, including campaign, freestyle (random), extended,
classic, and classic extended. The game features 7 original music soundtracks,
spatial sound effects, and a variety of voice-acting.
"Defender Chronicles lends itself perfectly to the iPhone." said Chris Byatte,
co-
Founder and director of Chillingo. "It’s easy to learn, quick to play, and
immensely
addicting."
“We are delighted to be working with Chillingo to take Defender Chronicles to
market. Their marketing experience will help maximize the chances for Defender
Chronicles’ to be a commercial success” said Petrus Santoso, CEO of Gimka
Entertainment.
Defender Chronicles is available for the launch price of US$2.99 from Apple’s
App
Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at
www.itunes.com/appstore. The price will
increase to US4.99 after the first week.
