Hamburg, Germany--January 20, 2012--Mail.RU Games, the publisher of
internationally successful online games such as Legend: Legacy of the
Dragons, Allods Online and Juggernaut today unveils the latest details
of the first mini-game in Farm Kingdom http://farmkingdom.net/, their
newest social game. In addition to working their own farms, players
tend their animals, pass the time until their harvest ripens by
playing mini-games and help their friends to whip their gardens into
shape.
The first mini-game players will encounter is just a click away from
their main farm, and has some of the most compelling game rewards.
Feeling relaxed? Take a stroll down to the Fishing Docks, where
players can enjoy a fishing game that's easy to begin but challenging
to master! The ever-helpful Tutorial Turtle is on hand to teach new
visitors how to reel in their dream catch and embark upon a fantastic
journey of fishy fun.
"We spent a lot of time fine-tuning the challenge and enjoyment of the
fishing game, and we're excited about the player feedback we've
received from our Open Beta," says Malte Werner, Product Manager of
Farm Kingdom. "The only problem we have now is the whole office is
addicted to fishing and the competition is fierce as we wait to see
which GM will land the biggest fish!"
Choosing the right combination of rod, line, lure, and bait is critical
to entice a variety of fish including Grass Pike, Rudd, and more!
Players must wait for a strike marked by the ring of a bell, then keep
the fish in their sights to lure them in. Learning the behavior of
each variety of fish takes time but is rewarding: some fish follow a
very specific swimming pattern while others will jerk the line left
and right frantically, so knowing the difference is key to catching
the biggest trout around.
Freshly caught fish can be used in a variety of cooking dishes, or
players can simply sell them to fund a bigger fishing tackle box.
Successfully catching a fish not only gives you experience, but also
increases your Angler profession. The more skilled at fishing a
player becomes, the more options become available to them including
upgraded fishing spots, the ability to produce nets, and buy better
tackle. Compete in monthly rankings for best individual fish as well
as most caught.
So Much To Do in a Fairy Tale World
What else is there to do after the maize is harvested, all the animals
are fed and even the last tree has been felled? In the four Farm
Kingdom mini-games players can cook meals, construct buildings, go
fishing and dig for resources -- all to receive terrific rewards.
Creative chefs can cook up a storm in the Farm Kingdom kitchen,
preparing many wonderful dishes - from pancakes to goose soup. Anybody
in search of a little relaxation after a stressful day at work in the
real world can head straight to the fish pond. Big fish are jumping,
just waiting to be caught! Remember, however: fish will only go for
the right bait. Players with the blood of an architect running through
their veins can turn their dreams into reality by constructing new
buildings. From a new deck to a large pigsty, they can saw, build and
hammer anything they like.
Old-school arcade fans can indulge themselves by playing the mining
game: searching for precious metals requires sleight of hand, good
planning and strategy. Advancements in the game, such as helping out
on friends' farms, will be rewarded with additional gold coins and
experience points. To make your own farm stand out from the common
crowd, there are many cute animals and exciting construction projects.
Accessories like a huge barbeque grill or sun loungers give your
territory that personal touch.
Those eager to discover the pleasures of farm life will find enough
space for their own farm and a whole bunch of new friends at
http://farmkingdom.net/
