Space combat heats up in Dark Horizon PC video game

Space combat heats up in Dark Horizon PC video game

Temperature-based combat system gives pilots two specialized battle modes in upcoming Sci-Fi action game

More details about the advanced combat system in Dark Horizon, the upcoming space action simulator for the PC. Set in the dark and beautiful galaxy of Enosta, Dark Horizon casts players as Guardians, the mysterious yet skilled fighters charged with saving the galaxy by overcoming the all-consuming spectral force known as the Mirk.

In addition to the game’s multitude of ship customization options, Dark Horizon also features two specialized combat modes for the game’s 22 missions: shadow mode and corter mode. Several of the game’s missions will call upon players to use one or both of these modes in addition to the game’s standard flight mode.

“As we were thinking about gameplay mechanics during development, we decided a realistic element of combat that would be significant for Guardian fleet fighters would be the temperature of the ship,” said Timur Lazarenko, Lead Programmer on Dark Horizon. “By controlling the temperature of his ship, the player can send his ship into one of two specialized combat modes. Making the ship’s engine temperatures drop will send the player into shadow mode, in which he can become invisible and stealth past enemy lines. When the player heats the ship’s engine, he can then enter corter mode, which allows him to significantly upgrade his weapon system in exchange for a shield penalty.”

Dark Horizon will be available for purchase in stores from September 26th and for digital download at GamersGate.

Flyff Introduces the Forsaken Tower and its Secret Rooms

Flyff, the first title from Gala-Net Inc., will soon release one of its most anticipated updates later this Fall for Version 12 (V.12) - the Forsaken Tower and its Secret Rooms.

The Forsaken Tower is a new dungeon for mid to high level players who are brave enough to set foot inside. The Forsaken Tower is located at the south of Flaris and is unlike any other dungeons in Madrigal. The tower hosts 5 floors, each of which has unique monsters inspired from different mythologies from around the world. In addition, upon the top of the Forsaken Tower are two rooms which give guilds the chance to obtain powers never seen before. In order to access the Secret Rooms and reap the benefits of the power it contains, guilds must compete to win access. The guilds will complete weekly against a challenging new enemy who sits upon the top of the tower. Winning guilds from both of the secret rooms will be granted the power to set tax rates in the major cities of the game. Controlling guilds will receive their share of the taxes earned on a daily basis.

“The competition for the Secret Rooms in V.12 will be intense,” said Senior Producer Keehwan Her. “Flyff is a very closely knitted community, and this new dungeon will not only bring new territories for players to explore, but it will also challenge guilds from all around the world.”
