title for the N-Gage mobile game deck.
17 December 2003
Nokia today announced Ashen, its third
self-published title for the N-Gage mobile game deck. Exclusively
for the N-Gage game deck,
Ashen is a 3D gothic horror themed, first person shooter
that pits mobile gamers against a host of horrors. In addition
to exciting single player action, up to four people can play in
deathmatch mode via Bluetooth wireless technology.
"Ashen will capture mobile gamers with its
impressive gameplay and unique features," said Pasi Pölönen,
Director of Game Publishing, Entertainment and Media Business
Unit, Nokia Mobile Phones. "With a compelling storyline,
fast paced action and unique features, Ashen will inspire gamers
to fight against an amazing range of enemies and to explore and
rescue the citizens of Seven River City."
As a special feature, Ashen has a unique "ghost
vision" mode that allows gamers to detect and combat invisible
enemies that block their progress through the game. Players can
choose from eight different weapon types such as dual pistols,
a Gatling gun, sniper rifle and a unique alien assault gun. Eight
single-player maps are available, with two additional maps for
multiplayer deathmatch gaming. With N-Gage Arena, the mobile online
gaming community, Ashen players will be able to share their best
scores with other devotees of the game.
Mobile gamers can immerse themselves in a rich 3D
world, ranging from ruined cityscapes, spectacular cathedrals,
and alien infested streets. With eight unique and intelligently
behaving enemy types, players will need to keep their wits about
them as they try to unravel the reasons behind the supernatural
phenomena that have taken over Seven River City.
Ashen is expected to be available on the
N-Gage game deck in the first half of 2004. Ashen is
being developed by Torus Games,
a leading game developer based in Melbourne, Australia.
