In Emissary of War, you play the role of Ghent, a barbarian sent on a diplomatic mission that goes horribly wrong. With an alchemist companion, Hassock, offering much-needed backup, you will hack and slash your way through monsters and more, upgrading your weapons and tactics to deal with new threats to your mission. Your sense of duty and allegiances will be put to the test as you unravel the mystery behind your failed assignment.

Emissary of War features:

·         Fully voiced characters and cutscenes that lead you through the storyline

·         Game Center support with Achievements

·         A twisting storyline that turns everything on its head

·         Gameplay that tasks you with balancing control of Ghent and Hassock

·         A beautiful 3D engine that runs on all iOS devices

“We've always known that standing out as an indie developer, especially in the iOS market, is about bringing gamers something that these devices have been lacking,” says studio founder Tobyn Manthorpe. He is confident that his years of experience in working on role playing games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights at BioWare will help him bring true character-centered story-telling RPG to the iOS platform.

“It takes a lot of work to breathe life into a virtual actor,” Manthorpe says, “but we're not shying away from it because we want players to have proper emotions about our characters. We also feel like we've overcome the challenge of matching this style of game with the needs of the iOS gamer: intuitive controls and stop-and-go gameplay.”
