FPS PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD REJOICE: FALLEN
EMPIRE: LEGIONS LIVE ON INSTANTACTION.COM
InstantAction, the website for gamers that
combines the intensity of videogames with the accessibility of the web, today
unveiled the public beta for “Fallen Empire: Legions.” The game is available to
play simply by signing up at
www.instantaction.com.
“Launching ‘Fallen Empire: Legions’ is a huge
milestone for the company,” said Josh Williams, CEO of GarageGames. “Not only
have we proven that technically the game can exist in a browser, but we are
delivering on our promise to gamers of fun, 3D action games nearly any place
they can get on the Internet.”
Developed internally by GarageGames, Legions
combines distinctive freedom of movement with fast paced first-person combat to
create strategic, team-oriented gameplay. The game launches with six player
configurations – gunner, sniper, sniper specialist, rocket specialist, grenade
specialist, chaingun specialist – and four weapon options — sniper rifle,
rocket launcher, chaingun, and grenade launcher. Players can choose either
Deathmatch or Capture the Flag in free for all or team modes. Initially, the
game will sport two large play arenas, with more coming on line later this year.
“For the last three months, we have had more than
four thousand gamers testing the game,” said Joe Maruschak, General Manager of
GarageGames Studios. “Now it is time for us to open it up to the rest of the
world and get their feedback. We are very excited to see everyone join the
vibrant community that already exists around the game.”
Fallen Empire: Legions takes advantage of
InstantAction’s approach of “Live Development,” where game features and options
are built and tweaked based on consumer feedback. Players can visit the forums
