Catching and Battling Gets Mo’ Epic on iOS with Mo’ Monsters!

Rumpus announces launch date, releases teaser trailer for new turn-based RPG

SAN FRANCISCO – Oct. 3, 2012 – Rumpus, a game studio that strives to create fun, beautiful and social mobile games, today announced an evolved take on catching, training, and battling with Mo’ Monsters. Available as a free universal download on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices on October 10, mobile monster enthusiasts must collect, develop and tactfully battle a cast of colorful characters in turn-based combat and timed events. While taking players to a deeper level of battling in real-time, the game will soon offer many social media features to allow fun amongst friends. Watch the trailer on YouTube to see the game in action!

Enter the mythical land of Noru, populated by a diverse array of creatures, called Light Monsters, ready to join forces with players. When a massive earthquake shakes their humble home, Dark Monsters emerge threatening the tranquil land. To save Noru, players must not only battle in turn-based combat but also execute various timed events correctly to gain buffs for their fighters. Players must also travel through multiple world maps to complete missions, save towns, and capture and tame the creatures of the Dark to fight alongside them. The experience is complete with an original soundtrack that salutes the music of classic RPGs.

Features

• Take your monster collection deeper into battle, complete with special moves, buffs and elemental-based strengths and weaknesses based on real-time tactical execution.
• A starting lineup of 25 monsters to develop with mo’ monsters to come in future updates!
• Five types—Fire, Water, Earth, Sky, and Metal—with strengths and weaknesses against each other, and two alignments—Dark and Light—add an extra layer of strategy to battle.
