Square Enix (Square Enix Co., Ltd and Square Enix Ltd.) and Macrospace today announced the launch of the European versions of Square Enix’s latest mobile games Aleste, Actraiser and Drakengard. As Square Enix – world-renowned for its FINAL FANTASY video game series – enters the European market, Macrospace is working with Square Enix to tailor the three titles for European audiences, with both companies jointly handling marketing and distribution.
The first games to be launched are Aleste and Actraiser, which will be available Europe-wide on Vodafone live! and other services including Orange World, O2 Active and T-Mobile’s T-zones in the coming weeks. The games are also available from the Square Enix Mobile website at www.sqexm-eu.com. The mobile version of the hit PlayStation2 game, Drakengard is planned for release this summer. All three titles will be available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish on a wide range of colour phones.
In Aleste, the mobile version of the 80s home console classic, you become the pilot of an ultra-advanced attack craft, codenamed Aleste. Your mission sees you fearlessly flying through enemy-packed stages, collecting weapon power-ups on your way to the explosive end-of-level boss battles. Each level ramps up the challenge and will keep you coming back for more adrenaline-soaked arcade action!
Actraiser challenges you to fight your way past centaurs, goblins, trolls and a menagerie of other mythical creatures in this side-scrolling action game. Armed with your mighty blade and plenty of determination, you must cleanse the landscape of hordes of evil monsters! Based on the classic Super Nintendo game of the same name, Actraiser brings classic console gaming to your mobile phone.
Drakengard, Square Enix's new Action-RPG, was launched In Europe on the
PlayStation®2 on May 21st, 2004. The mobile version of this brilliant console game sees you battling across four different locations, fighting Empire forces on the ground and in the air! Each level combines fantastic sword-slashing action and dragon-riding combat; the fight-back against the Empire starts here!
