LONDON – March 19, 2004 - UK software republisher company, Phoenix Global Software,has launched its first PC game in the UK and South Africa. Castle Strike from publisher DataBecker and developer Related Designs, follows on from their previous successes in Real Time Strategy games, America (released in 2001) and No Man’s Land (2003).

The player assumes the role of a brave hero plotting an exciting fantasy voyage through medieval times filled with treachery, betrayal, battles and ambushes. The game features historical uniforms, armoury, siege weaponry, realistically animated landscapes with stylish medieval buildings, as well as a fully flexible zoom-in camera and a stunning selection of tactical and strategic options - these features are what make Castle Strike an outstanding
absorbing experience to be enjoyed by up to four players (in multi player mode) and on the
 

Internet (using GameSpy).
The player is confronted with evil-tempered neighbours and bloodthirsty robber knights that lurk around the dark forests of Central Europe. Furthermore, he must achieve various vital tasks including: the upkeep of troops and servants, building castles and their fortifications,assaulting enemy strongholds, smoking out bandit camps, fighting glorious battles, and last but not least, rescuing lovely maidens from the brutal hands of dangerous barbarians.
Gareth Davies, Director at Phoenix Global Software, says “launching a PC game in the UK is an exciting prospect, particularly as it has been developed and published by a hugely successful European partnership. It has already sold well since launch in Germany earlier this year and we hope that we will be able to repeat that success in the UK and South Africa. Simon Campbell-Young, South African based Director of Phoenix Global Software says “This
is our first foray into the gaming market so expectations have been high. The game has been well received and pre orders have exceeded all expectations.” Castle Strike is on sale now from Game, Amazon.co.uk and will be available from most major retailers in early April.
