AMPED GAMES has recently partnered with local startup game publisher GPlayon to market and distribute N-Age, a new massively multiplayer online role playing game that is set in an “urban jungle.”
Amped Games director Mitch Padua told hackenslash that GPlayon will still build the infrastructure for the game while Amped Games will serve as the marketing arm and game distributor.
“Our top-up cards can also be used to play N-Age,” Padua said.
“We’re in a win-win situation because it leverages on our marketing expertise while they focus on the infrastructure,” Padua added.
He also said the game is already in open beta testing and will be commercially launched within June. GPlayon will also be formally introduced by then.
According to the N-Age website, this hack-and-slash type game is set in Rebirth World, which just rose from the ashes of an apocalyptic world war. At the middle of Rebirth World is Centerville, which is governed by a seemingly benevolent supercomputer called LISA. However, a rogue leader named Peuredeurik Syulcheuneo attacked the city and tried to take over. It is here where the adventure begins.
The game has four classes: Martial, Brandish, Chakra, and Prana. Each one corresponds to basic character types in most massively multiplayer online games: a hand-to-hand combatant, an all-around fighter, a distance attacker, and a magician.

I hope amped management can read comments from this post. If you are going to release a game why would you release an old style game ? it should be at least equal or better titles to what filipino gamers are playing today.
Isipin nyo na lang kunyari kung existing na yung Perfect world ng levelup at cabal ng e-games. You should na release game something like skyblade, ragnarok or worst like cronous. Di talaga sisikat yan. Tapos na kasi ang Era ng mga games na ganun eh. Ragnarok 2 pwede pa.

Wala bang ka-taste taste ang mga taga Amped? They better have a good reason to market this game kasi it’s gonna be a huge waste of server space.
Itabi po natin ang N-Age sa mga current titles ngayon. It’s no contest.
