The Forces of Chaos Descend in Game Insight’s Battle Towers for iOS

Battle Towers Main

Game Insight, a global leader in mobile/social games, announces the launch of a chaotic new chapter in tower defense games for iOS: Battle Towers. The game was previously released for Android devices and has already garnered more than 2 million players worldwide.

Battle Towers pits the two distinct nations of Order and Chaos against each other in an eternal conflict. While the two factions once lived together in peace, they have found their differences impossible to reconcile. The Order faction’s intentions seem noble, but its actions are often reckless, while the Chaos faction seems wild and unruly, but its subjects are eager to organize themselves for battle. Each faction has its own unique units, buildings, and magic spells. Neither will rest until the other is destroyed!

In Battle Towers, players construct important buildings, such as resource-producing houses and defensive towers, while also recruiting armies of warriors to march into battle to annihilate the enemy. Players can also make use of mighty magic spells to strengthen their units and increase their chances of victory, but must plan their attacks wisely in accordance with the game¹s day-night cycle, which favors Order during the day, but favors Chaos at night. Players may also challenge each other in cross-platform player-versus-player (PvP) battles.

Defeat your enemies and conquer their lands! Download Battle Towers for iOS and become a legend in the next generation of tower defense games!

SMITE Scylla Patch Notes as Long as Her Tentacles

blog_scylla

HiRez Studios has released the SMITE patch notes to coincide with the launch of Scylla, Horror of the Deep. The list is lengthy and detailed as the game nears official release later this month.

Notable highlights include massive work on the spectator system to not only improve performance and functionality, but actual changes to some of the map designs to improve overhead views of certain twisted jungle spots on the Conquest map. Ward costs have also been lessened while given a home security alarm to raise awareness when enemies pass through their field of vision. And the entire item tree has been rebuilt into a more cohesive pathing system, though many items including the infamous Fatalis have been removed pending further testing.

As far as Scylla goes, her kit can be seen below:

Passive – Quick Learner
Each of Scylla’s abilities gain an additional effect at max rank. In addition, Scylla gains 20 magical power for each max rank ability.

 

    Sic ‘Em
Scylla sends two hounds forward rooting and crippling the first enemy hit for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2.0/2.25s, and damaging for 60/110/160/210/260 +60% of Magical Power. At max rank, two additional enemies nearby the first target will also be hit. Cooldown 10s. Cost 60/70/80/90/100.

 

    Crush
Scylla creates a magical field that applies a 30% slow to enemies in the radius. After 5s it detonates and damages 90/140/190/240/290 +80% of Magical power. Scylla may activate the ability again to detonate it early. At max rank, enemies in the area also have thier Magic Protection reduced by 25%, and targets hit by the damage are slowed for an additional 1s. Cooldown 10s. Cost 70/80/90/100/110.

 

    Sentinel
Passive: Scylla gains 4/6/8/10/12 MP5 while this ability is not on cooldown. Active: Scylla summons a sentinel to the target area, granting 40/50/60/70/80 vision of enemies for 5s. Scylla may activate the ability again within 5s to move to the sentinel location. At max rank, the vision is granted through line of sight blockers, and placement range increases by 5. Cooldown 15s. Cost 70/75/80/85/90.

 

    I’m a Monster
Scylla reveals her true nature, becoming CC immune for the next 6s, and gaining +35% movement speed. She may make one powerful attack during this time, dealing 400/500/600/700/800 +120% of her magical power as damage. If she kills an enemy god with the attack, she gains another 6s and may attack again. At max rank, the movement speed bonus doubles. Cooldown 90s. Cost 100.
