Microgaming Corp. or MyGame.ph, a new
Philippine-based online games service provider, has introduced to
media its flagship game, Special Force Online.
Originally developed by Korean
game software provider Dragonfly, Special Force or SF is a tactical
first-person shooter (FPS) online game. It’s a free-to-play
military-themed game where players can create their own elite
military units with customized combat gear including weapons and
equipment.
Players can buy equipment through
Special Points or SP, the virtual currency of Special Force, while
some items can be purchased through eCoins, MyGame’s real-life
currency.
Among the SF features include:
Persistent Character Creation or PCC, where the player can create
his own character and equip himself with various equipment that
allows him to rise from the ranks; Point Reward System and Battle
Mode Selection (two game modes)—the players can select and play
single battle (a deathmatch mode) or team battle (skilled match
requiring teamwork and cooperation); and Objective-Based Maps and
Tactical Feedback.
“SF is an easy game to learn,
intuitive, fun and exciting one but hard to master,” according to
Anton Ojeda, marketing manager of Microgaming. “SF’s commercial
launch will cater to online players aging from 13 and above.”
He also added at the press
briefing that Special Force has been a top-ranked online game in
South Korea’s Internet cafés since its introduction in 2004 and
has become South Korea’s official game. With that, MyGame is
expecting that SF would also be a big hit in the Philippines.
“Since its initiation on December 2007, or barely four months,
MyGame has already a hundred thousand registered players for Special
Force,” Ojeda said.
