  NGames Reveals New Web RPG - Tales of Laputa

[This unedited press release is made available courtesy of Gamasutra and its partnership with notable game PR-related resource GamesPress.]

NGames, a leading online games developer and publisher, has today announced Tales of Laputa, a magical new web RPG for 2013.

Combining RPG gameplay with classic anime elements, Tales of Laputa thrusts players into a brave new world where magic and machinery coexist, and the threat of demonic invasions is an ever-present danger.

500 years ago, The City of Sky - Tales of Luputa's main continent, centered on the titular isles of Laputa - was dominated by powerful demons, who ruled the land from the skies. Led by Demon King Sardin, the demons resided high above the humans, where they had access to clean air, sunshine and endless energy. As their power increased, the land they ruled spread skyward, surrounded by towering rocks. However, to maintain order over the humans, the demons had to unlock a "Fissure" connecting them to Another World, summoning monsters that brought death, adversity and destruction to the continent.

A band of desperate humans survived the onslaught and met the God of Morias - a powerful and kind God that taught humans the knowledge and skills needed to defeat the demons. When man prevailed and Laputa collapsed, the rocks fell from the sky to the land and ocean, burying the Altar of Demon Magic, freeing humanity, and banishing the Demon King and his followers to the Fissure.

Impressed, the God of Morias selected a group of devout disciples and established "The Order", handing them control of the new Laputa before leaving the continent.

Now, 500 years has passed and a new threat has emerged - a group of Bandits with unknown motives plot to overthrow the continent. As a member of the Order, players must battle the Bandits while seeking to reveal the true history of Laputa, finally leading the City of Sky into a new era.

Can the Order protect Laputa from this new destructive force? To do so, friends will need to band together to help create an organization even greater than the Order of Morias.
