Ashen for N-Gage coming in 2004

Ashen is the third self-published title for the N-Gage mobile game deck. The game is a 3D gothic horror themed, first person shooter that pits mobile gamers against a host of horrors. Up to four people can play in deathmatch mode via Bluetooth.

As a special feature, Ashen has a unique "ghost vision" mode that allows gamers to detect and combat invisible enemies that block their progress through the game. Players can choose from eight different weapon types such as dual pistols, a Gatling gun, sniper rifle and a unique alien assault gun. Eight single-player maps are available, with two additional maps for multiplayer deathmatch gaming.

Mobile gamers can immerse themselves in a rich 3D world, ranging from ruined cityscapes, spectacular cathedrals, and alien infested streets. With eight unique and intelligently behaving enemy types, players will need to keep their wits about them as they try to unravel the reasons behind the supernatural phenomena that have taken over Seven River City.

Ashen is expected to be available on the N-Gage game deck in the first half of 2004. Ashen is being developed by Torus Games, a game developer company based in Melbourne, Australia.
