FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Austin, TX - November 15, 2010 - Bandera Games
officially announced today that Battle Dex, a new turn-based
strategy game featuring collectible cards, will be hosting a
$100,000 pro-circuit following the November 7th public release of
the game. Top players from each gameplay mode, including free for
all, teams, one versus one and others will be eligible to win a
total of $100,000; the World Champion walks home with $30,000 cash.
This competitive prize pool is unprecedented in the indie game
arena.
The unique strategy-oriented gameplay employs an arsenal of
collectible cards that allows players to modify their units during
battle. The units are commanded across a hex-based game board in a
game that plays like Nintendo's
Advance Wars but with a card mechanic similar to
Magic: The Gathering. The game is also easily taken to by
Starcraft players who enjoy the ability to build and
command units across large maps with varied terrain in a game that
rewards strategic thinking.
Since its launch just one week ago, Battle Dex has already seen
thousands of registered users.
"The game is addicting; And in terms of content, there are so
many gameplay modes and card combinations, it's impossible to get
bored." says David Bernat, Lead Designer of Battle Dex, "From
training missions, to 1v1, teams, and free for all- Battle Dex has
something for every gamer. Ultimately, we've built this game and
are hosting the $100,000 tournament for the community- those gamers
that enjoy a truly unique strategy gaming experience."
Getting started in Battle Dex is easy: simply download, create
an account, and jump into the action. Players level up by competing
in ranked matches and tournaments, gaining experience points in
battle, and earning awards for completed challenges. With its small
file size and low system requirements, Battle Dex runs on virtually
any PC with DirectX 9.0c or higher.
