CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED iOS GAME 'THE DARK MEADOW' LAUNCHING ON ANDROID IN EARLY 2012
Integration of New NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core Processor Takes Unreal Engine 3-Powered Game to New Heights
CHICAGO, IL, December 14, 2011 – Already considered one of the best-looking games on a mobile device, Phosphor Games Studio, a highly regarded developer of innovative video games, today confirmed that The Dark Meadow will look better than ever when it makes its Android debut in early 2012 with upgraded tech and features.
A debut trailer for The Dark Meadow for Android is now available for viewing at the Phosphor Games Studio YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSrvQz8BCYY.
Just announced during the Spike TV "Video Game Awards 2011" this past Saturday, the Android version will deliver enhanced visuals and physics resulting from the integration of the new NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core mobile processor, as well as new gameplay features including new game modes, story elements, levels and characters.
"The response we've received since launching The Dark Meadow has been incredible. It's clear that mobile players want console-style production values in their games," said Chip Sineni, Director at Phosphor Games Studios. "We're very excited to work with NVIDIA on incorporating Tegra 3's quad-core power and give Android owners an unrivaled visual experience to add to our new game modes, levels and characters."
Developed utilizing the acclaimed Unreal Engine 3, The Dark Meadow is a stunning first-person, action/adventure game where players fight to escape a nightmare world filled with fantastical creatures bent on destroying them. You awake in a hospital uncertain of how you arrived there or why. An old man warns of a beautiful witch whose minions roam the halls seeking to kill the living. It is only when the witch is destroyed that you will be released from this unrelenting torment.
As you explore the photo-realistic world, you will need both your crossbow for ranged combat as well as your sword for in close, melee combat. Gesture-based "pull back and fire" as well as slashing combat will be instantly recognizable to touch screen players, and node-based movement through the world makes navigation simple yet compelling.
Role-playing game mechanics enhance the exploration, as a wide variety of items are secreted throughout the world – from hidden scraps of paper that reveal the mystery of your imprisonment, to money which can be used to purchase better equipment and weapons.
The Dark Meadow arrives on Android in early 2012 and will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Italian. An exact date and price will be announced shortly.
