Spunky Sidekicks Lend a Helping Hand as Players Battle through Fierce Dungeons
in Manga-Inspired Online Game
Irvine, CA - Oct. 5, 2011 - Players now have the help of an ally as they
make their way through the formidable dungeons and cutthroat side-scrolling
bosses of Elsword, the massively
multi-player online action game. The all-new pet system makes its in-game debut
today, giving players the opportunity to traverse the anime-themed world with
new companions at their side.
The pet system introduces gamers to the Pocket Phoru and Ancient Phoru, with
Tree Knight and additional pets coming soon. Upon reaching level ten, players
will have the opportunity to utilize their pet of choice to help them in quests.
Though they may look cute and cuddly, pets actually have powerful attacks and
buff skills that will prove integral to dungeon crawls. Pets are also maturing
creatures with evolving personalities, and require care from their masters to
maintain peak performance. They grow up as they are fed, progressing from infant
to teen to adult, gaining stronger attacks and prowess with every change. How
players treat their pet also will shape its personality, changing the range of
combat performed.
"Introducing pets to Elsword adds another dimension to the game and allows
players to become fully immersed in the comic book style world," said Ben
Colayco, CEO of Kill3rCombo. "By echoing character evolution and growth within
the pet system, we wanted to reinforce that Elsword offers a unique and dynamic
environment to players, while at the same time maintaining the key
differentiators that set us apart, such as maturation of characters."
In Elsword, players can currently choose from four specialized and customizable
characters as they explore immersive maps and battle to complete dynamic quests.
As gamers progress through the game, they will have the opportunity to evolve
their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes and watching as their
chosen character matures and gains more abilities and combos. With intuitive and
straightforward controls, Elsword offers players of all skill levels the chance
to defeat enemies and deal damage, either on a solo mission or cooperatively in
a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also
delivers action-packed player-versus-player (PvP) combat.
