Hey Callasians!

Today’s update includes balancing adjustments for the Revenant faction and several bug fixes.

Watch out for a 24-hour livestream on TowerRushChannel on Sunday, 6:30AM EST.

Legends of Callasia goes cross-platform with App Store release [Press Release]

Boomzap’s multiplayer strategy game on Steam launches worldwide on iPad tablets with a month-long tournament and an art contest

September 8, 2016, Singapore – Following its Steam release and a successfully-funded Kickstarter campaign for an expansion pack, Boomzap Entertainment’s fantasy-themed strategy game Legends of Callasia launches on the global App Store for the iPad, allowing for cross-platform multiplayer gameplay. A leaderboard-based tournament also begins in partnership with XSplit.

Inspired by classic turn-based strategy games like Civilization, Heroes of Might & Magic, and Risk, Legends of Callasia adds an original simultaneous gameplay mechanic that keeps games moving quickly, even in multiplayer mode while adding deep strategy elements. Easy to pick up and learn, the game has a classic tabletop feel, allowing players to build and control heroes and armies, build castles and cities, and control territories and kingdoms.

The game includes 30 playable single-player campaign missions, over 35 multiplayer and skirmish maps, and thousands of lands to control!  There are three factions to choose from – The Hundred Kingdoms, The Faeborne, and The Revenant – each with their own unique heroes, units, and cards. Players can plan and resolve their turns all at the same time, without waiting for others to finish. This makes for faster games, and adds another strategic element in predicting other players’ moves during online multiplayer.

As part of the launch, Boomzap is holding a tournament for those who play in ranked multiplayer mode. Players who reach certain ranks or points in the leaderboard when it ends after a month will win prizes. Meanwhile, a fanart contest is also ongoing.

Plans for an expansion pack adding a new playable faction and other additional content have been announced through the Kickstarter for Legends of Callasia: The Stoneborne. The project is already successfully funded, and the DLC will be released soon.

Download Legends of Callasia from the App Store or on Steam for PC and Mac at $14.99 USD. Pay once in any of these stores and you can get the game on all platforms. A demo version with unlimited multiplayer playtime can be downloaded for free. An Android version is also in development. More details available at legends.boomzap.com.

Summer Sale – Legends of Callasia at 40% off! (New Patch v1.0.1.8)

Save 40% on Legends of Callasia as part of Steam’s Summer Sale! Offer ends July 4th, 10AM Pacific Time.

The full game is now in the Premium section on Steam as a DLC, which means you can now also gift copies of the game for your friends. We initially launched as Free to Play, with a single optional unlock payment to play across all platforms (Steam, as well as the upcoming Mobile platforms). Feedback from our users indicate that while people love the game, many are confused/troubled by its inclusion in the Free to Play store. We’ve heard our users and spent the last few weeks rewriting our user management system (no need to register emails anymore) and moving over the game to the right category.

For players who have already purchased the game through the Free to Play store, your account with the game is still completely valid, and your game should work fine. However, since it was unlocked as a Free to Play game, it may still be listed in your Steam library as a “demo” – which we realize may trouble some people. As such, we’re also sending a Steam Key to everyone who bought the game. Using that will change your game to “Premium” listing in your library. :)

As always, you can install the game here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/438920

Today’s patch also includes the following changes:

  • Adjusted AI behavior for Hundred Kingdoms 10 and Faeborne 1 campaigns
  • Updated portrait for Peasant Revolt hero

For feedback, suggestions, and other concerns, feel free to get in touch at legends@boomzap.com.

Thank you and hope you enjoy!
