Prepare for a New Age of War!

A New Testing Phase Begins and a Few Images from the Upcoming MMORTS, Saga

Saga, an upcoming massively multiplayer online real-time strategy (MMORTS) game from Wahoo Studios, is seeking a limited number of new applicants for the final stage of its private online alpha test at www.PlaySaga.com. To give you a glimpse of what you might find in Saga, the developers have included a series of three screenshots for your particular enjoyment (located at the bottom of the page). On top of the typical game play of an RTS, the MMO element of Saga adds a fun degree of permanency and the alternate advantage of troop trading.

“Reaction from the community has been very positive, with online troop trading proving extremely popular and addictive”, says Jason Faller, Executive Producer of Saga. “Offers of occasional rare troops like Red Dragons and Mech Giants have been sparking bidding frenzies. We’re very pleased to be able to increase the current number of players to receive additional feedback as we gear up for beta.”

If you're unfamiliar with Saga, you shouldn't stay that way for long. Saga's creator is the same programmer that brought you Starcraft: Brood War, Dallan Christensen. His persistent fantasy world features five distinct factions (Light, Machines, Magic, Nature, and War); each with its own races, powers and building. Players can select over 100 unique troop types, choose from thousands of armor and weapon upgrades, construct over 100 buildings, and form guilds to wage war against common enemies. Even if you're offline, your resources continue collecting, your kingdom continue to defend against enemy assassins and espionage attempts, and guild wars progress as allies and enimes play.
