Seasun brings Relics of Gods to E3

June 2015 – At E3 in LA we met with Chinese game developer Seasun to see their new MOBA designed for the western audience. This Free 2 Play game is designed to be a 3×3 PVP game for the iOS and Android mobile platforms that is a turn based multiplayer experience. The game allows the user to select a hero from an initial availability of 32 heroes at launch and at full release 50 heroes.

The in-game monetization is based on the personalization and decoration of the heroes. To enable this, all the heroes can be unlocked. This is new for the gaming company as the games they primarily develop for the China market, have an in-game monetization model based on being able to level up and add skills/function to the players. The game is based on combat from an adaptation of Greek & Roman warriors.
