One
Must Fall Battlegrounds has gone GOLD is the press release announcing that
Diversions Entertainment's sequel to the rock-'em sock-'em robots action
of One Must Fall 2097 is now complete. The vague word on availability is
mid-December, and they outline an incentive they are offering for those who
pre-order the game online. Here's a bit of the description of gameplay from the
announcement: "
One Must Fall: Battlegrounds is a pioneer of the
fighting genre, offering an on-line, 3D, multiplayer fighting experience for the
PC.
Battlegrounds represents a serious change in the philosophy of
fighting games. Instead of 2 players facing off in a small space,
Battlegrounds
features up to sixteen simultaneous players in huge arenas, fighting in team
battles or all-out brawls! The goal is to free you, the player, from the
restrictions of the past.
One Must Fall allows you to fight the way
you've always wanted to. Just like your favorite martial-arts movies, you can go
toe-to-toe with several opponents, use nearby objects as weapons, and integrate
terrain and hazards into your fighting strategy, all while piloting a giant
robot."
