Overview

Totem Overview

Totem is a browser based MMO that goes back to strategy styles of classic RTS games, with a twist. Planning your army and your movements before the battle begins is even more important than what troops you possess. It’s very important to learn battle strategy quickly, else you will lose a lot more games, even against a computer opponent. The main focus of the game is competitive PvP, however a fully fledged campaign mode does exist. Various cards exist, from spells and more, to help give you an advantage in combat, if you time and place them correctly.

This field boss cannot fight back, even when attacked, but has an enormous amount of hitpoints to whittle down to be defeated. Once the Fat Snowman’s HP reaches zero, it bursts into a massive amount of little snowmen scattered around the field, each dropping a special item when defeathed.  There are 40 different items that can be dropped from each frozen monsters including the latest Snowman Pupa and winter outfits!

Knight Age is currently featuring tons of winter festivities and a mega sale with cash items up to 70% off until January 15th; players can also have a chance to get a free Mashimaro as their battle-companion.

RuneScape Celebrates Its 12th Year Online

Posted: 04 Jan 2013 10:51 AM PST

 

 

Jagex, the creators of the hugely popular and multi-award winning free-to-play adventure game RuneScape, today celebrates the game's 12th anniversary with a host of community competitions and in-game events.

 

RuneScape launched its first public beta on the 4th January 2001 and in the 12 years since has grown into one of the largest and longest running online games in the world, attracting millions of players from around the world who log in and play every day.

 

2012 was a year of massive numbers in RuneScape. Over the last 12 months RuneScape players have clocked up in excess of 486 million hours of gaming and have put more than 3.2 billion players to the sword. The most significant statistic however, was achieved in July when RuneScape welcomed its 200 millionth account into the game.

Mark Ogilvie, RuneScape Design Director, commented, "2012 was filled to the brim with content updates both large and small. Last year saw flurries of graphical reworks of the popular areas of the game, bigger and better boss monsters, an overhaul of the combat system, new starting areas as well as the challenging task of introducing voice acting into the game. For me, the highlight of the year was undoubtedly witnessing the creation of the 200th Million RuneScape account, which secured the game's place as the most played online game of all time. But 2013 is going to be even better."

 

As the game begins its 13th year, the RuneScape development team have huge plans for 2013, ensuring that this year is bigger, better and more ambitious than ever before. 2013 promises to be the year that will allow players to experience a faster, pure HTML5-powered RuneScape. To satisfy RuneScape's biggest fans, 2013 will also see the release of two brand new skills; a Grandmaster-level quest, Wilderness Warbands, a Construction skill rework; an improved grouping system; and the ability to customize your own game screen/interface – and that's just for starters.

 

To ensure that RuneScape's birthday is suitably celebrated in game, the RuneScape community team will kick off the birthday celebrations with the first of 12 player events which will run throughout the birthday weekend.

GamesCampus has announced their first browser-based title, Ecol Tactics Online.

Ecol Tactics Online takes its inspiration from tactical roleplaying games, blending a deep storyline and intense customization with retro style pixel graphics and turn-based strategy. The game’s story will span across four different continents and offer hundreds of side quests and events to partake in. Players recruit mercenaries, battle evil, customize skills and character, and much more.

“The first thing players will notice is the retro style of graphics; the game is designed around pixel art on beautiful backdrops,” said Elliott Coward, Producer for Ecol Tactics Online. “From there players will dive straight into their own story of mercenaries, where the intrigue of the kingdom is thick and the future is foggy at best.”

Ecol Tactics Online is set to begin closed beta later this month.
