Overview

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters Overview

Veteran game designer American McGee (Quake, Alice, Grimm) and Spicy Horse (Alice: Madness Returns) are set on delivering players a uniquely enthralling free to play action role-playing experience.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters will transport you to a world realized in a striking visual style inspired by Japanese ink, watercolor and woodblock illustration. We’ve dug deep into the history and folklore of Japan when designing our scenarios and characters. Mixing this foundation with an original mythology inspired by Red Riding Hood yields a fantastic and inspiring setting for players to explore.

Akaneiro provides players with a free to play ARPG of depth, blended seamlessly with the speed and intensity of a pure action title. Combat is fast and unrelenting, but you can sway the tide with careful selection of abilities and equipment. A multitude of character building paths are available, though we’ve avoided being overly prescriptive, ensuring you can find the best balance of abilities and equipment for your personal play style.

The game world is separated in to Regions, which represent a quadrant of Yomi Island. Each Region contains several Areas, each presenting a different environment style and introducing new enemy and boss types. An area contains several missions, forming a small story arc.

We want to provide players with an ARPG that doesn’t ever end, and doesn’t have you waiting around for a year on an expansion that you finish in 2 weeks. After release, we’ll strive to push the boundaries of our world further with each passing month.

Akaneiro has been in development since mid 2011. Our Closed Beta has been running since November 2012. Our target platforms are Windows, Mac OS X, Android/iOS Tablet. Both the dedicated PC client & web version will enter open beta in January 2013.

New Monster Invasion Video for Chrono Tales Released

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 11:25 AM PST

GameDP has presented a brand new video for Chrono Tales, showing off the recently released Monster Invasion feature.  Since its launch, and due to the latency caused, the company immediately set forth to optimize servers to ensure stability.

Monster Invasion begins every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 8pm EST and lasts for two hours.  Bosses and their army of minions invade the capital city in four rounds, each round becoming stronger than the previous.  To advance, players must kill all of the monsters and the boss itself.  Defending the town earns players various rewards, including a chance at the rare pet Hibussac.  What players earn depend on the damage they do to each boss, so the more damage caused, the better the reward!

GameDP also publishes Soul of Guardian and Dragon’s Call.
