Duels Becomes First MMORPG Online Game Available on Facebook: Free, Short-Form Game Provides Challenging Gaming Experience to
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON) October 25, 2007 -- Duels is unique in that the game's short-form design allows it to be played in 10-30 minute increments rather than in long, marathon sessions. The format is ideal for casual and hardcore Facebook gamers, who may enjoy games such as World of Warcraft but are looking for new and challenging options for play in between longer gaming sessions and during free time.
"Whether they're an avid or casual gamer, you can now play a challenging online game without leaving Facebook," said Andrew Busey, founder and CEO of Oxygen Games. "With the tremendous growth we've seen in the past few months, we expect many of the Facebook users to discover just how fun multi-player short-form games like Duels can be."
A player vs. player (PVP) fantasy role playing game, Duels challenges Facebook users to build characters based on physical attributes, battle experience, special abilities and collectible items. Players aim for the ideal combination of the attributes, experience and equipment needed to beat other players in head-to-head combat.
Because the Duels game is asynchronous in nature, it can be played whenever a Facebook user wants. Players can challenge and battle each other and results can be accessed at the players' convenience. With each duel, players gain rewards that enable their characters to advance in level, increase their physical and mental attributes, and win gold and tokens. Gold and tokens can be used to buy equipment, such as armor and weapons, or packs, which contain random loot from a broad set of possible items. Duels also allows players to trade and sell items to each other within the application.
Duels is free to play. Players and Facebook users also have the option to purchase select game items with money or join as VIP members, which provides additional benefits. For more information on Duels, visit www.duels.com.
