Zynga’s Latest Mobile Game for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Challenges Players to Dominate Enemies, Bosses and Each Other
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zynga (Nasdaq:ZNGA),
the world’s leading provider of social games services, today announced
the global launch of War of the Fallen, a brand new card battler game
that delivers a new level of quality, depth, and accessibility to the
popular genre. Now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod
touch, and coming soon to Android on Google Play, War of the Fallen
follows the success of Zynga’s Ayakashi: Ghost Guild, a popular card
battler game launched in late 2012.
Designed with a global audience in mind, War of the Fallen stands apart
with rich storytelling. The game starts after a comet, once a prison of
ancient evil, crashes into the northern regions of Tyreon, scattering
shardstones throughout the land. As a dark power grows, players
undertake the role of a Shardbreaker to free ancient gods trapped in
shardstones and command the creatures found within against demonic
forces. Venturing through War of the Fallen’s unique map-based
progression system, players encounter a rich cast of characters and
each decision they make shapes the storyline in surprising ways.
To progress, players build and customize card decks, relying on
strategy to compete in player vs. player and player vs. environment
combat, earning treasures and new cards along the way. Players can
customize their gameplay by utilizing three character factions and more
than 150 cards with 100+ unique skills. Strengthening and evolving the
cards, while combining the card skills within a player’s deck, provides
countless game play options. Deck-building choices even have a big
impact on the single-player aspect of the game, a rarity among card
battlers. War of the Fallen was designed with a streamlined user
interface, in-game tutorials, hints and intuitive progression to
enhance the game’s accessibility.
“It’s rare to find a card battler game that blends both accessibility
and depth, and that’s what we’ve tried to deliver with War of the
Fallen,” said Scott Koenigsberg, General Manager of War of the Fallen.
“We hope players — both seasoned card battler veterans and those that
are new to the genre — love the level of polish, customization and new
social innovations we’ve included.”
War of the Fallen introduces a social mechanic called Guild Force,
never before seen in the genre. By uniting with other players and
friends, Guild Force boosts players’ individual and team abilities,
improving overall strength of their cards and chances of success in
battle.
Zynga is dedicated to creating free, social, high-quality mobile games
