Realm of the Titans closed beta key give-away

Saturday, July 30th, 2011, posted by Matt

from the titans dept.

Aeria Games and Games Radar have partnered up for a beta key give-away for BigWorld-powered Realm of the Titans.

The DotA-inspired title went into beta a couple days ago.

“You can choose to not care about RotT… or you can, like me, look forward to playing another MOBA that attempts to build on DotA, instead of retreading ground that’s already been covered. Right now, this is my most anticipated game of 2011.” – PC Gamer

“If you like DotA-inspired games, Realm of the Titans has given a very good show. It’s got a great variety of seemly well-balanced heroes … The Titans have a lot going for them in sheer volume and different abilities permitting a lot of range of play styles. The map is vast, pretty and well defined with points of interest … which should make strategizing something that well-oiled teams do as they roll over the enemy.” – GameOgre

“By combining familiar DotA and League of Legends gameplay elements, Titans looks to carve out a niche for MOBAs where players can have a hard-core DotA-like experience… with the customization experience found in LoL’s masteries and summoner spells.” – MMOHut

from the DotA dept.

Aeria Games has introduced a new map for Realm of the Titans, the DotA-inspired game built on BigWorld Technology.

· New Win Objective –Destroy the enemy base OR be the first team to achieve 66 enemy kills for match victory in Titan’s Eye!
· Play More, Win More – The map also features increased global gold gain, decreased death timers, and reduced cooldowns for all heroes.
· Plant Power Up — You’ll encounter a strange new plant as you battle across Titan’s Eye. Be warned — this is no ordinary vegetation. Any character near the plant becomes invisible to enemies!
· Rune System — The Rune system randomly spawns a useful buff in different locations on Titan’s Eye. Scoop up double physical damage, double magic damage, haste, increased regeneration, flat experience and more as you push toward your objective.

Realm of the Titans Developer Interview on Haven4Gamerz.com

Monday, June 13th, 2011, posted by Matt

from the sanctuary dept.

Lukchin over at Haven4Gamerz.com shared a short interview with Travis form Aeria Games, the western publisher of BigWorld-powered Realm of the Titans.

What is your main goal for Realm of the Titans on release? Our main goal for Realm of the Titans is to build a strong community that plays our great game. With games like ROTT, a strong and dedicated community can determine whether or not they are successful. We already have a great start with very dedicated players from our Alpha Test that are eagerly waiting for the Beta launch of the game!

What does ROTT offer to entice fans of the genre that are playing games like League of Legends? Realm of the Titans has a lot to offer players that other games do not. ROTT has two different 5v5 maps, our Titan Skill system that allows players to change skills throughout the match, dynamic control points on the map, new heroes with unique abilities, in-depth stats, daily leader board updates, and a lot more.

What boundaries are you trying to push with ROTT? The MOBA genre is still relatively new and there are many directions that it can go in. We are hoping to push boundaries by experimenting with new gameplay mechanics, new types of game modes, and new hero abilities.

Realm of the Titans is an online free-to-play Strategy/Role-Playing game inspired by Defense of the Ancients. It’s currently in Alpha.

New Realm of the Titans Class Unveiled: Nevetira

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011, posted by Matt

from the thunderclap human dept.

A new player class in BigWorld-powered, DotA-inspired Realm of the Titans has been unveiled. Nevetira is a wrangler of elements, utilizing weather systems to lay waste to her foes. The backstory is that she was raised in a mountain village, constantly tormented by bad weather. Most of the time that kind of environment breeds good weathermen, but she seems to have stepped it up, having learned how to actually manifest thunder balls, winds, thunder and so forth.

Some would say she’s “electrifying”… ahem.

• Thunder Ball — Cause damage and stun for 0.1 second. Light target’s surroundings within a range of 1400 for 3 seconds. Thunder ball has 1800 Movement Speed.
• Howling Wind — Force enemies within range to turn around. Prolong their turning duration for 3 seconds.
• Wind Blessing — Restore ally unit’s Mana for 20 seconds
• Thunder Clap — (Ultimate) Throw some thunder balls, which collect energy in the air and target nearby enemies. Each ball causes 120 damage to targets it hits directly, 80 Area Effect, and 0.1 second of stun.

Realm of the Titans is one of the newest BigWorld-powered games to be developed and published in the Western market. It’s inspired by Defense of the Ancients, probably the most popular game mod of all time (Warcraft).

Come join us in open Beta.
