Gameforge announces 10% discount for cashU users
Gameforge, the world's largest independent provider of browser and client-based online games has announced an introductory 10% discount on four new Arabic games for cashU users.
This promotional offer is only available to cashU users for a limited time.
The four Arabic games - Ikariam, Battleknight, Bitefight, and Gladiatus are free to play, and only require a one-time registration with a valid e-mail address. Users can use cashU as a payment method to purchase add-ons and premium game features to gain small advantages over rivals in the game.
"We are very excited to partner with Gameforge, who have a successful business model and a large portfolio of games - the localized versions of their games should receive plenty of interest from users in the Middle East." said Martin Waldenstrom, General Manager, cashU. "cashU has always been the preferred payment method for young gamers and teenagers in the Middle East, we look forward to seeing Arabic versions for the rest of their games." he added.
BattleKnight
Travel back to the times of the knights and fight for good or evil! BattleKnight puts hundreds of thousands of players world-wide into a legendary world of knights and castles, knaves and swordplay. There is a unique adventure to be experienced in countless battles and sword duels.
BiteFight
In a dismal time full of legends there is an everlasting fight: vampires and werewolves fight for the supremacy in the shadows. Once bitten, BiteFight will not let go of the player anymore. Be it on the search for fresh blood or in the fight against innumerable adversaries. Every day, hundreds of thousands of dark creatures go on a hunt - whether with claws and teeth or shiny weapons.
Gladiatus
Just like the old Romans that have taken Europe by storm, the triumphal procession of the browser game Gladiatus has also been unparalleled. More than one million players have already gathered after a few weeks to compete against each other as gladiators in a dusty arena. But even apart from the contest there is a fascinating ancient world full of glorious stories to discover. Next to bread and circuses the gladiator can master gripping adventures and meet challenges and thus collect stronger weapons and better equipment.
Ikariam
Industrious workers, soldiers and researchers build on their own little empire between white beaches and rocky hills. Thousands of players first jointly work on exploiting the raw materials of the island better, before using trade and also the help of their soldiers to grow into a glorious people. Every clan of fighters, however dauntless, is doomed without forming alliances and making commercial agreements, without supporting other peoples and using the assistance of friends.
