Atari Unleashes Warlords onto PSN
Now Available for PlayStation Network (U.S.), Europe on Oct. 10
LOS ANGELES - Oct. 9, in
the year of our Lord 2012 - Atari, one of the world’s
most recognized publishers and producers of interactive
entertainment, announced today that they have launched
Warlords®, a remake of the classic title for the Atari 2600, on
PlayStation®Network. The game is available today for aspiring
warmongers across the U.S. for $9.99, with an EU release coming
tomorrow, Oct. 10, for €9.99. Warlords brings all the action of
the classic game into the modern age with an all-new look and
online multiplayer modes. The game will also make its debut on
Xbox LIVE® Arcade next month on Nov. 14 for 800 Microsoft
Points.
Warlords is a one-to-four player arcade action game in which
players will defend their castles from a maniacal dragon,
unleashing a torrent of fireballs and crafty minions against
their strongholds. In this whimsical reinvention of the beloved
classic, players will face the ultimate battle of speed,
strategy and survival. In addition, the game will increasingly
challenge players to multitask as they strive to shield the
castle walls and simultaneously rally troops to capture control
points, collect power-ups and destroy the other warring factions
– either alone or alongside three other players.
KEY FEATURES:
Protect the stronghold! Defend your castle walls from the
destruction of fast-flying fireballs with your mighty shield.
Move the shield around the perimeter of your castle with
precision and speed to deflect the fireballs or grab onto and
charge fireballs to release even more devastating attacks back
at your opponents.
Multiple local/online game modes sweeten the quest for power and
allow for cooperative and competitive battles with up to 4
players. Select the faction of your choice and engage in a
number of competitive variations, including co-op siege mode,
2v2 or classic free-for-all battles.
Rally your troops and pit them against your foes. Your loyal
posse brings a layer of depth and replayability to every battle
and can be sent off to capture control points, gather power-ups
to immobilize your enemies or bolster your defenses. Manage your
troops wisely to gain the battlefield advantage!
