Let the Trolling Begin! "Trolls vs. Vikings" Sieges the App Store This January
OSLO, Norway, November 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Megapop strikes down Viking propaganda with a pro-Troll game trailer
Megapop, a startup studio founded by former Funcom (Age of Conan) and Artplant
(Battlestar Galactica Online) developers, today announced a January 2014 launch for Trolls
vs. Vikings, their debut mobile / PC tower defense game. The puzzling lane-defense game
puts a casual twist on the popular tower defense formula, infusing a blend of humor and an
ever-changing battlefield. See it all in action in the game's official trailer:
http://youtu.be/x0Jzz2yEw-4
While set in the ancient world of Norse mythology, Trolls vs. Vikings features a
modern rivalry: Loki (yes, that Loki) promises the greedy Vikings a handsome profit for
attacking the harmless and misunderstood Trolls. To stop the Viking siege on innocent
Troll settlements, players must travel to various Troll villages with an unlikely team of
heroes, recruiting dwarves along the way and discovering the truth behind the Viking
onslaught. With a tale reaching across the lands of Midgard and into the Halls of the Gods
themselves, Trolls vs. Vikings uncovers for once and for all who really started the
trolling!
Unlike most tower defense games, Trolls vs. Vikings takes a different approach to
towers, levels, tactics, player interaction, and boss fights. Players harness immense
Troll power to strategically move towers, buff units, and take on other set-piece
challenges that add fresh new gameplay to each stage. To keep up with the action, players
will be thinking on their feet from start to finish. Just beware of the Valkyries, who
have been fed far too much Julekake, threatening to (sugar) crash on top of you!
About Trolls vs Vikings:
- The CraziestTower Defense Experience, Period - Play as nature-loving
Trolls, who must defend Midgard, their magical homeland, from fierce Viking invaders.
- Extensive Story Mode - Advance across 70 levels spanning Midgard, with each
area providing new environments, challenges, achievements, tactics, bosses and
hilarious new enemies to fight. Plus, each difficulty mode generates different stages!
- It's Got It All - Master 20 Troll types, each with their own strengths and
weaknesses to battle over 25 different types of Vikings of ranged and close-combat
masteries, as well as divine boss fights against Thor, Odin, and Loki himself!
- Tower Defense... Evolved - Movable towers i.e. the big hulking Trolls, massive
set pieces, strategic resource gathering, dynamic in-game tile system, and many other
small and large tweaks to the beloved gameplay formula.
- Multiplayer Campaign COMING SOON! - Social features will mark a first for the
genre with both real-time and turn-based multiplayer matches. Soon, loop in friends
with the seamless social sharing and comparing system, or challenge anonymous Troll
activists in both live and asynchronous gameplay.
- Labor of Love - Perhaps the most important "feature" of all... and it's not
even a feature. The Megapop team shares a deep reverence for the tower defense genre;
their top priority is to make a game they personally love to play!
Enter the wacky and wonderful world of the Trolls, and help them fend off the vicious
Viking horde on the App Store January 2014! To learn more about Trolls vs. Vikings:
