Glu Mobile's Free-to-Play Social Mobile Adventure Game, Hero Project, Now Available on the App Store
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: GLUU), a leading global publisher of social games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced the availability of the Hero Project App on the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch. Infamous design consultant Phil Campbell created the storyline for Hero Project that allows users to create their own super hero and defeat the forces of evil.
Hero Project powers up the social game genre with a unique mix of story, character customization and real-time combat. The player will continually take on new missions, experience new story elements and unlock new content for their hero as they play.
"There is no reason why you can't introduce narrative and character development in a social game," said Phil Campbell, creative consultant and writer on the Hero Project App. "When games have a story you can follow and explore with other players, it creates a world that you not only participate in, but you help create. The Hero Project App is taking mobile gaming to the next level."
Features include:
-- KA-BOOM! - Punch, zap and blast evil doers in real-time turn-based
battles filled with dynamic action. You control the outcome as you
choose between offensive, defensive and healing powers.
-- POW! - Explore your surroundings and uncover the mystery behind Hero
Project. Head to Mission Central to accept your latest missions,
harvest crystals in the Research Lab or just hit the Rec-Con to see how
your friends' heroes are doing.
-- BAM! -Hero Project features over 200 story-driven missions that move the
story forward. All the missions and back story for the Hero Project
universe were written by famed writer/designer Phil Campbell (Tomb
Raider, The Godfather, Heavy Rain).
-- BIFF! - Purchase equipment, costumes, super powers and unique items in
the store, and then fully equip your character before heading into
battle.
-- ZAP! - To continue the never-ending fight against evil, aspiring heroes
can play and log into their Hero Project account via iPhone and iPod
touch.
"Hero Project is essential to fans of comics, super heroes and social action games. The player will be immersed in a new super hero universe with an intriguing narrative that will keep people coming back for more," said Giancarlo Mori, chief creative officer at Glu. "Unlike other games in the action and RPG genres, Hero Project unveils its story, universe and major conflicts through character dialogue and missions. Players get a chance to explore and see their friends' characters in their own game world, which is in stark contrast to the traditional menu-driven social games. Best of all, the game is available for free!"
The Hero Project App is now available worldwide for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/.
