Alex Jones On North American Release of ‘Martial Heroes’

We recently reported that Korean-based game developer CR-Space Co. Ltd. is working with an Amsterdam publisher to bring Martial Heroes to the European market. They are now hoping to bring it to North American gamers as well, who seem to be as enthusiastic about martial-arts MMORPGs as those in Asia.

Alex Jones is Head of U.S. Public Relations for CR-Space. Today, he gave out some information on the role of Factions in Martial Heroes:

“The Factions play a huge role in the game and is essentially the backdrop of the gameÂ’s ‘Thousand Year War’ plot. Each Faction has its own unique attributes and their own ideology. The Lawful Faction thinks that the most important state of mind is that the way you get to victory is more important than victory itself. This is why the lawful side has more offensive power and more defense. However,the Evil Faction thinks that its does not matter what they do or who they betray, victory is the only acceptable result. Due to this, the Evil Faction unique attributes are speed and debuffing skills. In terms of events, an all out faction war is held once a month. This puts Lawful vs Evil on the Martial Heroes PVP map; Deadlands. In Faction War the objective is to destroy the other sideÂ’s sacred stones, so you can say that itÂ’s a Conquest-like event. Each side has to try to destroy the others stone while trying to protect their own which usually makes for a fun but strategic battles.”

In short, the Lawful Faction plays by the rules, whereas the Evil Faction believes in the old dictum, “The end justifies the means.” Interesting philosophical conflict…

Whereas MH is scheduled for an August release in Europe, there was no word on when it would be available to gamers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. It will, however, be available in several languages (including French and Spanish), and (O! The Joy!) *free* to download and play.
