AAN Review Score ›
A persistent online fantasy strategy/RPG hybrid co-developed by Sega and Nokia where players build kingdoms, raise armies of fantasy units, and battle other players' realms via the N-Gage Arena network.
Marketed as the world's first mobile massively multiplayer online game. Featured a self-aware, satirical tone where characters knew they were in a video game, spoke in leetspeak, and the plot involved replacing three griefers banned from a high-score table. Boasted over 50,000 possible item combinations in its crafting system. A spiritual successor to Sega Saturn's Dragon Force.
