ELKWARE REVEALS GIANT ACTION RPG UNIVERSE Bestselling PC RPG Sacred now out on mobile phones

London, Tuesday 29 June 2004/... elkware invites you to explore a vast universe from the palm of your hand with the release of Sacred: an on-the-go version of the bestselling PC RPG Sacred. Europe's leading mobile phone game developer elkware sends fans to a fantastic world full of adventure, which even on the small screen will keep gamers spellbound for hours.

Sacred is a vast universe of incredible magic and ancient myth. A demon threatens the fantasy world of Ancaria and it is the gamer's mission to drive this monster back to hell. But first, there are out-of-this-world landscapes to explore and riddles to solve where the puny fighter must advance to become a powerful superhero. Stunning fights against orcs, giant spiders and other monsters line gamers' paths and levels of advancement.

The pretty Seraphim takes up arms as one of three alternative versions: female fighter, wizardess or customized. Her adventures lead her through five giant regions: meadows, desert, savannah, ice and a volcano – and into dark dungeons. This spectacular fantasy world is dynamically generated, so each game will look different. Sacred also saves data so that once started, a game remains permanent.

Its ingeniously simple controls make the game a unique experience. There are many different weapons to choose including daggers, axes and bow and arrows. However, for a visually impressive form of attack, gamers can use magic, with 12 different spells to choose from.

Features: - playing time is 14 to 24 hours - Four basic weapon-types, new variations are constantly generated during play - simple controls, optimized for mobile phones - Giant world to explore: crossing it diagonally will take you more than 45 minutes! - 34 quests, inspired by the story of the PC game - numerous, randomly generated additional quests - dozens of visually impressive pixel effects - 12 spells - in-depth tutorial
