Silverlode Interactive Embraces
the iPhone

Silverlode Interactive’s first
non-PC game achieves coveted New and Noteworthy spot on App Store.

Silverlode Interactive, developer of
the world’s first collectible MMORTS, today announced its first iPhone game
release SAGA Catapult, has earned a spot on Apple’s “New and Noteworthy” list on
the App Store. After some positive reviews on top iPhone App sites, SAGA
Catapult is now climbing the top 100 most popular games list.

Silverlode Interactive is not
switching focus to become an iPhone developer, but rather are integrating the
fastest-growing mobile platform into the SAGA world to offer the more than
200,000 gamers who registered for SAGA the ability to take SAGA wherever they
go. In an upcoming update, gold earned in SAGA Catapult can be sent directly to
that player’s SAGA MMORTS Online nation.

“Imagine having World of Warcraft
mini-games on the iPhone where the gold or items you earned could be sent to
your MMO characters … That’s what we’re doing with SAGA right now,” says
Silverlode President Jason Faller.

SAGA Catapult uses the full 3D
assets exported directly from the SAGA Online PC Game to create a 3D world where
you take control of an ancient siege weapon. You are the last line of defense
guarding your village against waves of Orcs, Dark elves and really angry Dwarves
with bosses like the Shadow Dragon and Mech Giant. Killing enemies gives you
gold which can be used in between waves to upgrade your catapult.

Silverlode Interactive continues to
focus on breaking the mold. Creating an iPhone game that ties directly in to a
PC game is just the newest example. Another cross-platform game currently being
developed at Silverlode is SAGA Tactics, a game that goes one step farther by
allowing players on the iPhone the ability to compete against players on a PC or
Mac.
