The freshly started developer Bloomsix has announced their first big mobile game release; Armada: Kingdoms, for Q2 2008.
Armada: Kingdoms is a mobile massive multiplayer online strategy game for J2me based handsets. The project is pretty impressive as it is planned to make room for thousands of players world-wide to join each other into achieving their common goals.
Armada: Kingdoms is a mobile massive multiplayer online strategy game, where thousands of players own a town and form kingdoms with other people. The goal of the game is to manage your economy, expand and ultimately attack your opponents. The game is both competitive and cooperative at the same time and has a strong community aspect to it. The game’s persistent world allows players to interact with you while you’re logged out, a distinct difference between classic MMORPGs. Armada: Kingdoms is truly 24/7 and its short session game play allows you to take an active part of the game in a non-intrusive way; playing 10 minutes a day is enough to manage your town yet the game offers a deeper experience for more dedicated players.
At the moment, Korea is the leading market for massive multiplayer gaming on mobile phones. Bloomsix has been working at the Armada project (which was drafted back in 2001) for over a year now and clearly expects to make this type of mobile gaming available everywhere.
