Asiasoft today announced that its first regional English free-to-play mobile title, For The Tribe, is now available on Google Play and the App Store. Players can now enjoy the mobile game on devices running on Android 2.3 and iOS 5 or later.

For The Tribe is a free-to-play real-time massively multi-player online card battle game played in 2.5D scenes and 3D character models. Set in the savage land of Kalima, players must defend against Hell Legion, the nefarious band that ravaged through the land spreading darkness as they massacred all who opposed them. Role-playing as tribe leaders, players build their own legion of legendary heroes from the tribes of Humans, Orcs, Elves and Dwarves in Kalima to defeat the evil forces. Rallying assistance from heroes obtained through Friendly Summons, Senior Summons and Ultimate Summons, players can play solo or play against other players to reinforce their team.

Galaxy on Fire – Alliances to be Released on Android in October 2014

Galaxy On Fire Alliances

The popular mobile sci-fi MMO Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances by Deep Silver FISHLABS will soon be globally available on Google Play. The highly anticipated Android launch of the complex mid- to hardcore title will take place in late October 2014 – in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, however, the app has already been released in the course of a limited soft launch. Just like its critically acclaimed counterpart on iOS, the Android version of the game will be offered as a free download with IAPs. It promises its players an exciting multiplayer gaming experience with easy accessible coop- and alliance gameplay. The title features AAA production values, high-end 3D graphics and full optimization for a wide range of state-of-the-art Android tablets and smartphones. At the same time, Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances will also run smoothly on any older device, as long as it has at least 512 megabytes of RAM. The most prominent entries in GOFA’s list of supported devices include the Samsung Galaxy Tab 1-3, Samsung Galaxy S2-S5, Asus Google Nexus 7, NVidia Shield and HTC One.

In Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances the players take over the roles of up-and-coming commanders of the Terrans, Nivelians or Vossk. Eager to seek fame and fortune beyond the final frontier, they set forth to colonize and exploit a hitherto uncharted region of space, known as the Shroud Nebula. Here, they must build up strong outposts, collect valuable resources and claim territories of strategic importance. But only those who team up with others and form strong alliances will be able to hold their ground in this hazardous environment for a longer period. In order to prevail in the highly competitive Shroud Nebula, tactical finesse and unbroken courage are as important as clever use of resources and a strong capacity for teamwork.

The Android version of Galaxy on Fire™ – Alliances will contain all of the recent updates of the iOS version.

Tank Museum’s ‘Fury’ Exhibition Sponsored by Wargaming Launches Oct 20

Tank Museum The Fury

Today The Tank Museum announces the launch of its latest exhibition, ‘Fury’, sponsored generously by Wargaming. Opening its turret doors on the 20th of October, the exhibition tells the story of the museum’s integral involvement with the making of David Ayer’s visionary film, Fury, which bursts onto cinema screens across the UK on the 22nd of October. The movie casts two of The Tank Museum’s exhibits: the world’s only working Tiger 131 tank and the eponymous Fury Sherman M4 tank, in a tale of overwhelming odds deep behind enemy lines in the last days of the Second World War.

Taking center stage in the ‘Fury’ exhibition will be the film’s armour plated star, the Sherman M4, alongside imagery and footage directly from the film. Other attractions include uniforms from the film worn by some of the stars, and numerous props straight from the set, all kindly donated by Norman Productions.

“Wargaming has a long history of collaboration with The Bovington Tank Museum, we sponsored the building of a classroom in the museum, we also contributed to the restoration of the museum’s collections and now we are extremely proud to be working with the museum again, sponsoring the making of this new exciting Fury exhibition, which is a perfect match to our game World of Tanks, said Rinaldo Andreolli, General Manager Wargaming Europe.
David Willey, Curator of The Tank Museum, said, “Being a part of making this film was a remarkable opportunity for the Museum and we want to share that experience with our visitors. This exhibition will give an insight in to how The Tank Museum was involved in the Fury film, the issues we faced when working to safely use some of our historic collection and what it was like for staff on set of a Hollywood movie.”

To celebrate and acknowledge Wargaming’s continued support of The Tank Museum, the ‘Fury’ exhibition will also host various gaming stations where visitors will be invited to play World of Tanks. Using in-game tanks modeled on the armoured vehicles from the film, players will be able to clash against each other to recreate the very battles Wardaddy and his troops fight in the film within the Wargaming universe. This will be further supported by a video which intersperses film footage from Fury, with Wargaming’s tanks in-game to form a thrilling montage, overlaid with commentary by Richard Cutland, UK Historical Consultant at Wargaming.

The ‘Fury’ exhibition will open on the 20th of October at The Tank Museum, Bovington, and is scheduled to run until the end of 2015.
