Launch news: Delta Strike
User testimonials:
“Amazing graphics and visual effects”
“What? This is a Flash Game, are you kidding?”
“The Trailer video is so awesome, I tried out the beta right away!”
Delta Strike is a scifi action RPG that takes a console game experience and makes it playable on Facebook. The game launched at the Adobe MAX Conference and is the first available 3D action game, based on the new Flash Player 11 3D capabilities (Stage 3D).
“Delta Strike was showcased at MAX and was playable in the entertainment lounge. We wanted to have the game online at that time to let players continue their DS experience after the conference and spread the word,” says Michael Plank, CTO and one of the co-founders. “Releasing the beta together with Flash Player 11 is a great PR story.” Delta Strike has played a role in the developer community around Flash 11, by for example publishing performance benchmarks of different systems. This community is the beachhead of Delta Strike’s launch strategy.
Delta Strike wants to challenge the existing notion of Facebook games. “So far, popular FB games are rather dull and unchallenging and have boring 2D graphics. Delta Strike brings 3D action with the visual quality of the PS3 and challenging gameplay to casual gamers on Facebook. Without having to install any additional plugins, players can fight entertaining missions in space from everywhere right in their browser.” Another big differentiator is a deep and engaging storyline the players can dive into, which will also be rolled out over the coming months.
