Marauder Tech Games :
Orlando, FL, 31 October 2024 | Independent AA mobile studio Marauder Tech Games is announcing their inaugural title, Price of Glory, coming soon to iOS and Android. This competitive, turn-based, strategy game introduces players to a unique tactical fantasy world with strategic challenges and cash prize opportunities.
Duel Head-to-Head
Welcome to Price of Glory, an asynchronous turn-based strategy game where players can compete for real rewards. Set in a medieval fantasy world of constant conflict, gear up for action and engage in strategic combat across arid deserts, dense forests, molten lava flows, and more. Price of Glory is a game of pure skill - with nothing up to chance. Players must carefully protect their stronghold against enemy forces while taking turns to advance into each other’s territory, overcome the opposing army, and destroy the enemy base to win. Clever positioning, effective attacks, and tactical foresight all play an important part in this strategy mobile title.
At Your Command
Lead your army to glory and choose from a diverse roster of factions and their associated units. Scouts help you see through the fog of war, enabling coordinated attacks from your soldiers, knights, and ranged units, while healers keep your troops alive. Unique generals customize your army, each offering a different playstyle through their special abilities. When facing down your enemy, carefully consider your next move as resources are limited. The game’s primary resource, Animo, is used for spawning new units, moving, attacking, and using special abilities. A very limited amount of Animo generates each turn, making every choice matter. Gameplay is asynchronous, meaning players can play when they have time, then check back later, with a standard 24-hour turn limit, or a blitz mode with 5-minute limits.
Play Your Way
Price of Glory offers a variety of challenges for every type of player. Boasting a “play how you want, when you want” style, the game’s asynchronous gameplay and various game modes cater to novice strategists and seasoned veterans alike. Are you looking to test a new strategy? The “Skirmish” quickplay mode drops players straight into the action. These one-off, low stakes matches are perfect for those looking to play casually. For serious competitors, tournaments up the ante, pitting four, eight, or more people against each other in a single-elimination bracket, with larger rewards.
Ripe With Opportunity
With sights set on developing a competitive scene, Price of Glory will offer two types of tournaments, Salt Tournaments and Cash Tournaments. Salt tournaments can be entered using Salt, the main in-game currency, and will give Salt and Salt Crystals as rewards. Conversely, Cash Tournaments will feature real money, with entry requirements offering real cash prizes for top placements. Salt Crystals can also be used to enter Cash Tournaments, giving every player the chance to earn their way to cash rewards through skill. A unique Dynasty system in the works will also offer all players an opportunity to earn additional rewards based on membership activity within their dynasty.
Gameplay Features:
Asynchronous play encourages players to play how they want, when they want, giving them up to 24 hrs per turn, or 5 minutes when playing in blitz mode.
Strategic gameplay challenges players to think outside the box as they manage Animo resources, control strategic tiles, and maneuver around various map layouts, in an effort to outsmart their opponent.
Casual play is possible through the “Skirmish” quickplay game mode, one-off matches between players that provide Salt rewards, which can be used to enter Salt Tournaments, and eventually unlock cosmetic options
Two tournament modes offer competitive play for those looking to up the ante, with a F2P option through Salt Tournaments, and Cash Tournaments for serious competitors.
A Dynasty system rewards players for inviting friends and being active in-game to receive in-game benefits.
Price of Glory is coming to the iOS App Store and Google’s Play Store later this year with Open Alpha beginning November 7th. Pre-registration starts today on the Play Store and will provide players with a free entry into a $1,000 cash prize tournament. More information can be found on the game’s website, and eager players can join their community on Discord for sneak peeks, exclusive tournament codes, and more.
