Based in a world built by Dallan Christensen (Lead Programmer of Starcraft: Brood War), Saga puts players in the role of ruler as they create a powerful fantasy empire to conquer their foes in a persistent world that lives on even while players are offline. Free to play with no monthly subscription fees, Saga features an exciting collectible system that allows players to buy booster packs to enhance their armies with rare troops and abilities, or to enter the barter-driven market to trade units and resources with others from around the world. Players will need to prove their might by creating a massive army made up of humans, orcs, elves, mech giants, dragons and more to take into battle, where they must rely on their strategic cunning to overcome enemy forces. They will engage in espionage, sending assassins behind enemy lines to destabilize their forces, and ally themselves with other nations to partake in large-scale guild wars, earning experience to improve their troops, gain valuable resources, and to create an even larger army.
Saga has no subscription fees. Players pay as little or as much as they decide, by purchasing ‘booster packs’ of random troops and spells, which are traded and customized to create the strategic army of choice for each player.
Additionally, Saga brings the excitement of collectible gaming to the online environment. Rather than pay subscription fees, in Saga you pay as little or as much as you decide. Just as in collectible card or miniatures games, players can buy ‘booster packs’ of random troops and spells, which are traded and customized to create the strategic army of choice for each player.
Saga’s features include:
- Five distinct factions (Light, Machines, Magic, Nature, and War); each with its own races, powers and buildings.
- Over 100 unique troop types, plus thousands of possible armor and weapon upgrades.
- Over 100 buildings
- Spells and special abilities to turn the tide of battles and impact game play
- Quest and campaign across the land to earn experience and win treasure to enhance your kingdom.
- Form guilds of online allies; then join forces in war against other guilds for fortune and glory.
Saga is currently scheduled for a fall 2007 launch.
