Defenders of Time Announced
Las Vegas, Nev. June 2, in the year of our Lord 2014
– Defenders of Time introduces a new level of cooperative,
fast-paced tower defense gaming for the PC at E3 from June 10 –
12, 2014. This will be the first release of Las Vegas game
company Four Lights.
Defenders of Time is centered around teamwork in the vein of
popular MMORPG guild play, but with communication features
rarely seen before in PC gaming. Abilities include diagramming
on team member’s screens, snap-to location pinging and in-match
setup of voice chat from completely unplugged to fully tuned.
One player acts as team commander; this player holds two roles.
First, he provides for his team by discovering advanced weapons
and suggesting defensive tactics; second, he decides the nature
of challenges the opposing team faces. Up to three additional
players per team coordinate efforts and resources to build a
defense system that can fight off the opposing commander’s
attacks – quick thinking and cooperation are key to the success
or failure of a team.
The user-friendly player interface is serviceable by gamers of
all ages and skill levels. Design elements of the game draw
inspiration from 1950’s automobiles in a style developers have
dubbed “Chromepunk,” and international landmarks throughout
history such as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the desert
outside of Las Vegas, and more – all with a science fiction
twist.
Four Lights will publicly preview the game for the first time at
E3 on June 10-12, 2014. The booth will be located in the south
hall at booth space 2447, next to Disney Interactive and Warner
Brothers. There will be demos of both single player and full
four-on-four team play.
