InstantAction.com has just launched the open beta for their web-based first-person shooter Fallen Empire: Legions. Think of it as Tribes light, with two different classes, two different maps, and two different gameplay modes currently available for your quick and dirty gaming pleasure – capture the flag and deathmatch. All you really need to know is that it’s a relatively simply yet generally satisfying FPS with jetpacks.
Playing requires you sign up for an account at InstantAction.com, GarageGames’ web-based gaming portal, which is completely free of charge and gives you access to the rest of their game stable as well, including Marble Blast Online and Rokkitball. Hop on over and give it a try!
newVideoPlayer("legions508_kotaku.flv", 480, 380,""); InstantAction.com draws closer and closer to the wide release of the Tribes-channeling Fallen Empire: Legions, a first-person shooter with jet packs for the innovative web-based gaming community. It’s not a bad little game, if a bit simplistic in its current form. The only thing missing from it right now are large groups of people to play it, but that should be rectified once it finally emerges from private beta testing. Looking good so far! More »
newVideoPlayer("ROKKITBALL_kotaku.flv", 463, 280,""); Here’s the exclusive trailer for Rokkitball, the latest game to grace the lineup at GarageGames’ InstantAction.com web-based multiplayer gaming portal. It looks like guns and soccer. Or guns and basketball. We’ll just stick with guns and ball for now, until we get our hands on the game. It should be showing up at InstantAction later tonight, or possibly early tomorrow. Be sure and friend MikeFahey if you are signed up over there, as currently I have none and it makes me sad. More »
GarageGames’ labour of love, browser based action game portal InstantAction.com ads another title to their arsenal tomorrow with the introduction of Rokkitball. Rokkitball is a futuristic, team-based game that weaves together action and strategy to form a very compelling concept in browser-based gaming.
Rokkitball brings a new level of multiplayer gaming to InstantAction, combining the frantic pace of a shooter with the team strategy of a real-world sport,” said Alex Swanson, Rokkitball Producer and Designer. “We plan to provide an on-going flow of new content to players through InstantAction, with several additional stadiums and enhanced team customisation options already in the works.”
While we won’t know much more until we actually get to play the game, there will be a live chat with developer Alex Swanson tomorrow at 3PM Pacific, the same time the game goes live, where he will be discussing the creation of Rokkitball and all that entails. For now, check out our exclusive screens from the new title, and head over to InstantAction.com for more web-based multiplayer goodness.
