Amazon Launches New Games For Fall In Fresh Bid To Capture A Bigger Share Of The Video Gaming Market For Its Multimedia Empire
Amazon Game Studios has announced three exclusive titles for its upcoming brand of Fire mobile products according to a Eurogamer report. These games are: 'Til Morning's Light,' 'Tales from Deep Space,' and 'CreepStorm.'
Til Morning's Light is a touch-based character-driven action-adventure game wherein players can explore a haunted New England Mansion, solve puzzles and battle ghouls. The game is being co-developed with WayForward Technologies. Exclusively made for Fire Phone, it will rely on the device's Dynamic Perspective capabilities to give ambiance to the realistically rendered setting.
Tales from Deep Space is a 2.5D platforming adventure that follows E, a traveling salesman, and CASI, his luggage-droid, as they try to escape Big Moon, the "most eccentric space station in the galaxy." Developed in partnership with Frontier Developments, the game will feature a mix of action and puzzle-solving. Built for the Fire tablets, players can toggle between the two main character in single-player, or have two players control the duo simultaneously in local co-op.
CreepStorm is a cartoon horror role-playing game wherein players are tasked with hunting the undead by setting up a perimeter of vampire hunters. A take on the traditional tower defense-style strategy game, this variation is being developed in partnership with Happy Tuesday. It will have both a single-player campaign and competitive online multiplayer mode.
According to IGN, Amazon also announced a fourth game called 'The Unmaking,' which is a castle-defense game for the Fire tablets that allows a player to position atop the fortress wall, there to man the artillery to stem the advance of ravenous hordes. By partnering with AppStream, it became possible to put 2000 to 4000 advancing enemies onscreen at once for the game.
Til Morning's Light is scheduled to be available on the Fire Phone within this month while Tales from Deep Space, CreepStorm and The Unmaking may be ready for the Fire tablets by year end.
