Dark Vale Games is set to release their MMO/Shooter hybrid FORGE on Steam on December 4, 2012.
Forge: Ymil’s Revenge is a side-scrolling action game, where you take on the role of five different classes: Assassin, Pathfinder, Pyromancer, Warden, and Shaman. There are two modes of play at the moment: Labyrinth and Team Death Match.
Forge is a game that defines the term “tall order”. The team at Dark Vale Games set out to blend the best elements of MMO PvP with the fast and frantic action of a class-based shooter. Forge strips away all of the PvE (quasi-single player) elements of an MMORPG and throws you directly into multiplayer conflict. Once inside a match you choose one of the game’s five playable classes and go to town against the other team in a variety of modes. There is no single-player campaign, no over-world to explore – nothing except multiplayer battles. Forge‘s twist comes from the fact that the game moves and operates like a third-person shooter. Players have to manually aim their attacks with the mouse as if it were a shooter (and it kind of is). The idea is to take the thrill of pitting one’s abilities in MMO PvP and blend it with the twitchy gameplay of a shooter.
Dark Vale Games has revealed the release date and special promotional pricing for their upcoming game Forge which is set to release on December 4th. Forge will be made available as a download for $19.99 through Steam, Amazon, GamersGate, and direct from the developer.
