Vote for FORCED and tell your friends

February 11th, 2013 - [dwrf] cFox

Hello Future Gladiator!

Do you want to have FORCED featured on the leading digital distribution platform? So do we! But we need your help to get there. A vote for FORCED on Steam Greenlight goes a long way, but we also need to tell the story of forced to the millions of potential gladiators, who haven't heard about us yet. For FORCED to get onto Steam through greenlight, we need to think bigger and reach even more people, and tell them the story about our great game. And the only way that can happen is, if we all work together and tell everyone we know about the game so that they may also become gladiators.

So if you truly want to see FORCED on steam, please share this link: www.forcedthegame.com/greenlight anywhere you can think of!

And remember Kickstarter pledges are still available from our homepage, where you can prepurchase the game, get access to the Beta and much much more... Oh! and did we mention the beta just got updated with a lot of new content?

If you want to be kept in the loop on FORCED News you can Like our facebook page or follow us on Twitter.

“Forced is certainly on to something. It’s compact, controlled and co-operative. And there are no magic pants.” - RockPaperShotgun

FORCED is a tactical cooperative RPG - featuring online and local multiplayer.
We are really proud of our combat system which is deep yet simplistic. Playing like a team really means a difference!
The game takes place in a gladiatorial setting, and the players must fight their way through 30+ unique trials that vary greatly!

Besides battling the many enemies, the players must work together to control their Spirit Mentor, by calling him to their side, and unleashing the many powers of the ancient shrines. Or use his immaterial essence to bypass obstacles and unlock the devious contraptions of the arenas.

Main Features

Gladiator Setting: FORCED takes place around a smoldering volcano, where the gladiatorial pits have been built to test the resolve of fighters, and entertain the masses.
High Customization: Each player must not only chose from a multitude of skills, but also look to combine the abilities of their team, to create their unique killing-combo-style. No skill choice is permanent, and the players can freely change both weapon and spec to counter the ever-changing trials.
The Spirit Mentor: FORCED features a completely new and innovative cooperative mechanic, named the Spirit Mentor. It is essentially a player controlled extra party member, with special powers and an ethereal form, which the players must control in unison.
Big Bad Bosses: The game will feature many boss battles, each designed to test the limits of your skills and creativity.
Cooperating Monsters: The enemies makes use of a special tactical AI system, which enables them to work together. They will make use of each other, either by enhancing the strength of their allies - or using them as fleshy shields.
Specially Designed Arenas: Taking place in every setting from the fiery depths of the volcano, to the wind-swept tops; and even in the corrupted glades surrounding the base. All with unique mechanics; such as the all-zapping Life-Ender Beam, or the Choking Mist.
Transparency: We promise no random values will be used. This means no unlucky rolls and misses in this game. Additionally all ability information will be available to help you create the perfect gladiator.
Cooperative Combat System: FORCED features a new co-op mechanic named marks, which allows all players to place a mark on an enemy, enhancing the strength of any one of theirs' abilities against that target. Furthermore, players’ attacks deliver a certain amount of knockback and often players must time and combine their attacks to knock down a big enemy before he regains his balance.

All of this is of course available in specially designed campaigns for 1 through 4 players.

FORCED is created by a small team, comprising mostly of students, who live together in a house on the outskirts of Copenhagen – Denmark. We are trying to realize our dream of creating top notch cooperative games, due to our love of playing awesome games with our friends.
