Highborn
Casual turn-based strategy game launched on the App Store.
LAS VEGAS, NV – June 2, 2010 – Jet Set Games, TM led by the creators of the original Command & Conquer games, announced today that Highborn, TM the highly anticipated strategy game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, is now available on Apple’s iTunes App Store ( http://bit.ly/9AtVP6) for a limited-time, introductory price of $2.99.
Highborn is casual, turn-based strategy game with a twist, developed by a team of industry veterans, many of who created the original Command & Conquer products, including Rade Stojsavljevic, Adam Isgreen, Joseph B. Hewitt, IV, and Westwood Studios Co-Founder Brett W. Sperry.
In Highborn, players are treated to two strategy games that combine to offer an intelligent, tactical experience without the frenetic play of a traditional RTS. Players move forces around an overhead map to secure spells and combat support, then dive into 3D combat to deploy those advantages against an unsuspecting enemy. All the fun and fighting is set against an irreverent tale, filled with wacky heroes, witty dialogue and wild assumptions.
“The entire team at Jet Set Games is incredibly proud of Highborn,” said Rade Stojsavjevic, president of Jet Set Games. “We set out to build a strategy game that anyone can enjoy, whether they’re fans of hard-core strategy games, or just looking for a fun, casual title they can play with friends. The game has enjoyed some amazing feedback from the media on the gameplay and the off-the-wall humor in the story, and we can’t wait for the community to finally get the chance to play.”
