Melbourne, Australia and Espoo, Finland - Mega Monsters, the latest
N-Gage game from Nokia Games Publishing, introduces players to the
biggest monster smash on mobile. The result of a mad scientist
combining his supply of adorable animals, a borrowed gene splicer and
a surplus government nuclear reactor, each Mega Monster provides an
evil blend of cute and killer. With the intuitive one thumb control,
players direct the Mega Monster of their choice to do what monsters
do best - destroy!
"Mega Monsters is made for those of us who love monsters and who like
nothing more than stomping through buildings and crunching a few
tanks and helicopters along the way," said Dr Mark Ollila, Director,
Games Publishing, Nokia. "The 3D graphics and fully destructible
environment let you set your inner monster loose and smash through
city after city. Exciting game personalization options help create a
cruch-tastic game that will be hard to put down. Mega Monsters is
going to be the biggest monster smash on mobile."
Mega Monsters features rich 3D graphics with a fully destructible
environment where players can destroy anything in their path. While
on the rampage, players must ensure their Mega Monster destroys
selected targets and can pick up dozens of special items, including
clothing and other items, to add character to their creature. Each
Mega Monster develops its abilities, powers and appearance as it
progresses through different missions, and can also gain new powers
by hooking up with other Mega Monsters.
Players can stomp and smash through a series of existing city
environment or they can create their own map and challenge others to
beat it by uploading it to the N-Gage Arena. Players can customize
their game by uploading a picture from their mobile device's gallery
to use on an in-game billboard. When being monstrous becomes too
much, players can also switch sides and join the defense force to
build an indestructible monster-proof city, or challenge friends to
real-time head to head combat action
Mega Monsters is being developed in collaboration with Firemint, a
leading Australian independent games studio with a particular focus
on designing and developing high-end 3D titles for portable media
devices. Firemint is an International Mobile Gaming Award winner for
Excellence in 3D.
