Exclusive: First look at Chronicles of Inotia 2
Three character parties, new online multiplayer sieges
Com2uS revealed first details of its much-anticipated role-playing game Chronicles of Inotia 2 during our iPhone gaming presentation at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle this weekend.
A new party system and inventive online multiplayer mark this ambitious sequel.
Breaking from the solo adventuring of the original game, Chronicles of Inotia 2 will grant you control of a party of three characters. Through the course of the lengthy adventure, you'll have the option to hire mercenaries or bring along friends that you meet during your questing.
At any time you can switch among characters by tapping their icons at the top of the screen. Additionally, you're given free reign to develop their attributes and skills using experience earned in battle.
Joining the single player campaign is a slate of online features including multiplayer. Completely separate from the solo adventure, you can join or lead a guild in castle sieges for notoriety.
Items earned in battle can be shared with other guild members or stored online via a network storage box. Weaker guild members can benefit from item sharing with stronger members.
The ultimate goal is to create the strongest guild in the realm, competing against others for domination online.
Chronicles of Inotia 2 is set for release on iPhone and iPod Touch later this year.
