Video game publisher XSEED Games have just announced that the companies first mobile title, the action RPG Ark of the Ages has been released on the App Store on iOS. The title which is available at a price of $1.99 has been developed by the Japanese studio Meteorise and offers what they call “3D console-style graphics on the go and a deep roleplaying experience that sends players into the depths of deadly dungeons and offers an immersive battle system“.

Ark of the Ages puts players in the shoes of a young knight of the Royal Order who has been dispatched to Emilie village to investigate a series of recent incidents. Located near the village are the remnants of a massive ancient tower known as the Tower of Magic, which was constructed by the great wizard Sorienz a millennium prior. It is here that players will be challenged to prove their worth to the Royal Order. Players delve deep into a series of mysterious dungeons in search of loot, prosperity and furious battle. These dungeons are vast, winding complexes in which exploration is played from a third-person perspective, and players will be tasked with navigating and avoiding various pitfalls such as swinging blades and endless chasms with intuitive console-style dual analog touch inputs.

Filled with monsters such as skeletal knights, goblins and golems, each dungeon presents its own unique challenges, and players will frequently find themselves entering into battle. Upon encountering an enemy, the camera shifts from a third- to first-person perspective, putting players directly in the battle. Offensive combat is executed through a series of swipes across the screen simulating blade slashes, and attacks can be directly blocked through properly timed use of the characters’ shield.

Throughout their adventure, players will encounter all kinds of loot with which to customize their character, and items, weapons and equipment are completely customizable. By equipping items and weapons found in dungeons or purchased in shops, players are able to mold characters to their preferred play-style. The game also features a social aspect, taking full advantage of the GREE community platform to allow players to connect to their friends online. As the number of friends present increases, players gain a variety of bonuses such as increased frequency of special attacks.
