Braveheart goes mobile

I thought Braveheart mobile game already exists. After all, it’s not actually the hot movie these days…

Apparently, I was wrong as the Hong Kong-based Artificial Life and Paramount Digital Entertainment announced the launch of the mobile game Braveheart, a real-time strategy adventure based on the popular movie.

In Braveheart players take on the role of William Wallace, the legendary Scottish hero, who fights for Scotland’s freedom by plotting attacks against their English suppressors. Players must attack and guard six locations from the English, including Sterling, Paisley, Falkirk, Edinburgh, Lanark and York in 10 heroic real-time strategic missions. Alongside his fellow freedom fighters, Robert the Bruce, Mornay and Lachlan, William Wallace battles the enemies’ infantry, cavalry, foot soldiers and leaders. After conquering a town, players must then guard it against counterattacks. Characters, missions and locations featured in the game follow the events from the Braveheart movie. For each mission there are three different levels of difficulty in which the number of enemies and adversaries varies. All missions must be completed strategically without losing William Wallace or any of his companions.

Sounds interesting from what I can tell. The game is already available on Artificial Life’s m-commerce portal, www.botme.com, and will soon be available on mobile operators’ portals and resellers worldwide.
