Merlin's Legacy Brings Fantasy Action to the iPhone App Store

Mobile content publisher Oasys Mobile, today announced the Apple App Store launch of Merlin's Legacy (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=313387467&mt=8) for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Developed by Floodgate Entertainment, Merlin's Legacy is a fantasy battle game that merges role-playing and strategic elements, all while balancing it into a fun and engaging title that everyone can enjoy. The game has already started to garner critical praise, with AppVee.com giving it 4 out of 5 stars.

Merlin's Legacy puts players in the shoes of a young apprentice, studying under the famous wizard's tutelage. When mysterious forces bring about Merlin's demise, his protege begins a fantastic quest, vowing to avenge his master's death. Along the way, players do battle against a myriad of would be usurpers, who are also trying to take Merlin's title for their own, wielding the power of incredible spells and fantastic creatures. Players can focus on a particular school of magic or mix and match spells as they progress through the engaging story line. The game also features Tournament and Endless War modes of play, each with unlockables that can carry over into the campaign.

"Merlin's Legacy grew out of what we learned developing Civilization IV: War of Two Cities with Oasys Mobile; how to blend the strategic game play of two battling opponents with real-time action," said Floodgate's Creative Director, Paul Neurath. "Merlin's Legacy takes this game play into the fantasy setting of the Merlin myth, where we are able to highlight the powerful spells that wizards throw at each other. It's a blast to cast spells like Rain of Fire down on your opponent. Just watch out for your opponent's incoming Ice Bolt!" Lucian Cobb, Product Manager for Oasys Mobile, stated, "The game itself, with all of its different elements, has really turned into something fun and exciting. That, mixed with the fantasy setting, makes Merlin's Legacy (http://www.oasysmobile.com/oasysmobile/merlins-legacy-iphone-game.php) something that will stand out from the rest of the titles up on the app store."

AppVee.com - "4 out of 5 Stars! Merlin's Legacy is a great game that will keep you fighting for quite a while."
