New Online RPG in development

Riftforge Entertainment Ltd. announced the development of Riftforge, an ambitious online role-playing game. It challenges massively multiplayer online game conventions with deep, tactical combat, adding a significant element of player skill. Hundreds of thousands of players will be able to cooperate and compete on an unprecedented scale, thanks to a new web technology platform.

"As hardcore gamers ourselves, we have been sidelined for a long time by greedy game companies that are going after the lowest common denominator," said Krasimir Koichev, Riftforge's Producer. "The unrivaled depth of the Riftforge's tactical combat system rewards competitive gamers for their skills, not just the time spent button mashing."

Riftforge features:

* Three powerful RPG archetypes to choose from: Guardian, Ranger, and Raider.
* Rare, elite, and epic units for each of the six troop types
* Dynamic front lines across 81 areas in nine war zones
* Seven enemy factions fielding dozens of generals leading massive armies
* Deep and engaging tactical combat, within a familiar turn-based system
* A graphics engine that combines isometric pixel artwork with Flash animations
* Playable on almost any device with a browser (including smart phones like the iPhone)
* Social features that enable players to interact and trade, cooperate and compete
* Includes a free-to-play MMO mode to encourage players to try the game
