New Collectible Card Game Experience To Wage War on the PSP System
Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America
Inc. announced today that Warhammer: Battle for Atluma, a new
collectible card game set in the popular Warhammer world, will be
launching on the PSP system this fall. This
game of strategy and quick wits offers players more than 400 cards to
collect, trade and ultimately use to vanquish their opponents.
"One
of the more compelling card-based games to date, Warhammer: Battle for
Atluma goes beyond simple player interaction and encourages an
inclusive sense of community among players through head-to-head
battles, card collecting, trading and strategy sessions," said John
Whitmore, Director of Internal/External Development at NAMCO BANDAI
Games America Inc. "This unique dynamic coupled with the strategic,
fast-paced nature of the game certainly sets Warhammer: Battle for
Atluma apart from other games in its genre."
Developed by JV
Games, Warhammer: Battle for Atluma allows players to enter the Old
World and battle their way through the vast armies of either the Grand
Alliance or the evil Hordes of Darkness. Along the way, the secrets of
Atluma will be revealed that will help shape future battles, but
players will need to be decisive to outwit their opponent and secure
the ultimate prize - the Atluma Crystal.
Exciting features of Warhammer: Battle for Atluma include:
Wireless multiplayer gameplay which allows players to battle a friend and trade cards by connecting wirelessly;
Life
and death decisions which weigh heavily as players must carefully
choose their battles. One wrong battle can lead an army to defeat,
while one strategic victory can win new warriors from an opponent;
The
ability to build a custom army deck that can stand the heat of combat.
Players can access more than 90 different units through recruitment,
conquest and trade;
An extensive tutorial system that helps beginners jump right into the action and start competing like a seasoned veteran.
Available this fall, Warhammer: Battle for Atluma is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB.
