Demonic Giveaway Inspired by Our Favorite Games!

Demonic Giveaway Inspired by Our Favorite Games!

So Persona 4 Arena is my new favorite fighting game. It’s gotten to the point where I question if it’s healthy. I found myself on Ami Ami last night, looking up Naoto Shirogane towelettes to take to the gym (which, by the way, are sold out on preorder! Q_Q)… at 2 A.M. in the morning… while nursing my BattleSpace queue…

Yeah, I’m an ATLUS fan! :D Here you thought I just liked to troll you on the forums.

Anyway, this got me thinking. If Persona 4 Arena is like crack injected into my former-RPG’d veins, surely there are other ATLUS ONLINE fans that’d like to sink their teeth into the game. Am I right, or am I right?—which is why you can now participate in our Demonic Back-to-School Giveaway, with 6-6-6 prizes:

  • 6x Persona 4 Arena for the system of your choice (US residents only)
  • 6x $25 e-pins
  • 6x $50 e-pins (That’s, like, eight Special Refresh β)

It’s easy to enter. All you got to do is make a new character in Pandora Saga and/or MegaTen—or a new account in BattleSpace and/or Knights of the Sky—and hit level 20. The more ATLUS ONLINE titles you do it in, the better chance you have at winning the prize. The raffle tickets are cumulative: level 20 in one game, 1 raffle ticket; two games, 3 raffle tickets; three games, 6 raffle tickets; four games, 4 raffle tickets.

We also have a MegaTen giveaway going on right now for Persona 2: Innocent Sin, the sister to one of my top 3 favorite RPGs, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment! I have no idea why you’re reading this blog when you could be nailing these giveaways RIGHT NOW.

Speaking of favorite games, I asked around the office and found out some awesome ATLUS ONLINE team trivia:

  • Tasty Cake’s favorite ATLUS ONLINE game is Pandora Saga. “I still dig the amount of possible character builds.”
  • One of our marketing gurus—you may see him on the forums as “Moderator”—says Persona 4 Arena is his favorite ATLUS game, period. I don’t know if I’d go that far… I’m still married to Catherine. But that’s got to say something about how addicitive P4A can be.
  • Toaster’s favorite retro game is Gyruss! He’s even got Gyruss swag.

You Tell Me: It’s awesome to hear from the community!

  • What’s your favorite ATLUS game?
  • What’s your favorite ATLUS ONLINE game?
  • What’s your favorite retro game? We’re talking Sega Saturn and older, yo.

Aug 13 2012

Season 2 Preview

Greetings, Admirals!

Today ATLUS ONLINE opened the gates on Pinwheel, an all-new BattleSpace server! We also announced the end of Season One, scheduled for 9/22. When Season Two starts, Andromeda and Milky Way will be merged together on another server, Cartwheel. It sounds like big things are on the horizon… But beyond fancy Champion Coins, what changes can you expect from Season Two?

More Commanders
Players will have access to all-new commanders with combo abilities, such as the Naturalist (Gas and Funds gather rate up), the Polarizer (torpedo weaponry/shields up+), and more!

More Formations
Prepare to restrategize your commanders, from more mundane options to a wider variety of star formations!

More Storage
Two seasons means more precious commanders to store. Thankfully, you’ll have the storage you need for all your favorites!

More Rewards
Your rankings mean something throughout the season—not just at season end! Weekly and monthly rewards will give top players a chance to reap some awesome rewards.

More Intergalatic Threats
As if space pirates weren’t enough, the insectoid race, Vaminos, are plotting to overtake the universe…

We hope you’re as excited about the changes to come as we are! Give it your all for the end of Season One. :)

Scores | Behind the Scenes

Jun 18 2012

Scores | Behind the Scenes

There are so many scores in our no-download game BattleSpace, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Yet scores are essential for winning the season; so if you’re out to be a Champion, familiarize yourself with all the nuisances, then pave the road to victory!

Reign Score
Every player has a Reign Score. Your Reign Score is affected by how many Resource Planets you’ve conquered. The Giant Planet also provides an enormous boost to Reign Score. Lastly, players can acquire Reign Score by invading enemy solar systems.

Union Score
To determine Union Score, combine the Reign Score of all Union members. Union Score sets the bar for performance during Union Interceptions.

Domestic Score
This increases when you construct or upgrade facilities or ships.

PvE Score
This increases when you defeat NPCs, such as the pirates invading the solar system.

PvP Score
This increases when you attack other players.

Defense Score
This increases when another player attacks you.

Champion Score
This is affected by all other scores in the game. Champion Score is related to Champion Coins.

You can check our BattleSpace scores by visiting the Rankings Page using the left-hand menu. The highest level players and commanders are also displayed.

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • When you’re playing no-download game BattleSpace, what score is most important to you?
  • Were there any scores you didn’t know about?
  • If you could create a new type of score, what would it be?

Today’s the Open Beta Launch!

May 17 2012

Today’s the Open Beta Launch!

Today’s an exciting event here at BattleBridge! The Open Beta launch into the stars is scheduled to begin 6:00 P.M., PDT.

All players who participate in the Open Beta of no download game BattleSpace will receive this megagalactic commander:

In addition, Open Beta players enjoy the following bonuses till 5/24 at 6:00 P.M., PDT:

- Increased resources production
- Increased ship parts drop rate

The Flailing Monkey even heard rumors that the bonus is significant… around 20% higher than normal. ;)

If you’re looking for an event to help kick start your exploration into space, we’re hosting a Race to Build a Union with a chance to earn 300 Honor Medals! (That’s three chances at fusing your commanders into a super commander. Serious business.)

The rules of the race are simple: the first 5 Unions who invite 19 members—for a total of 20, including the Union President—will receive 300 Honor Medals. All members get the benefits of this reward.

We hope to see everyone in our no download space game! This is an Open Beta starscape you don’t want to miss.

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

- What do you think of Alexandrov? We’re personally fond of his arms.
- Do you have plans for your Union name?
- How do you plan to begin your exploration of BattleSpace?

We won’t be updating BattleBridge tomorrow, because we know you’ll all be lost in a starscape. ;)

BattleSpace Open Beta | May 17th

May 14 2012

BattleSpace Open Beta | May 17th

Greetings, BattleSpace fans!

The blogging monkeys just got wind of the official release date for the BattleSpace Open Beta. Prepare to beta-launch into the stars this Thursday, May 17th! If you haven’t already, sign up for an ATLUS ONLINE account. You’ll need this to hyperspeed into our beta starscape!

For those of you not familiar with the awesomeness of our sci-fi no-download game, you can expect the following from ATLUS ONLINE’s latest title:

  • Real-time construction, upgrading, and research projects
  • Interstellar turn-based combat, automated based on the player’s strategy
  • Guild-based system with “Unions,” galactic organizations aiming to conquer the Giant Planet

Unlike our other no-download games, BattleSpace is designed for season-based play. This means you have a chance to start fresh and new every few months—with many of the tools you built up from previous play, of course.

We look forward to hearing what our dedicated fans think of the new content in the open beta release. There might be extra goodies for joining, so make sure to mark the date on your calendar. ;)

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Formations | Behind the Scenes

May 11 2012

Formations | Behind the Scenes

The open beta for the next ATLUS ONLINE no download game is just around the corner. But before you relaunch into the stars, read on for an insider peek at commander formations.

Look to the stars—the “real world” ones

All of these formations have something in common:

  • 3-ship formation Triangulum
  • 4-ship formation Piscis Austrinus
  • 5-ship formation Lynx
  • 6-ship formation Phoenix
  • 7-ship formation Leo

We know what you’re thinking—”Lynx and Leo = cat!” But that’s not the theme we’re looking at. Our no-download sci-fi game is inspired by the constellations found in our “real world” starscape!

Leo is one of the popular constellations of the zodiac; most spacegoers recognize the name. But Piscis Austrinus is also a constellation—from the southern celestial hemisphere—named in ancient times. In Latin, it means “the southern fish.” The Lynx is a 17th-century constellation coined by Johannes Hevelius.

Star formations are from another galaxy

The star formations, such as ★ Whirlpool and ★ Cartwheel, originate from a different source. These rare formations are named after galaxies; there’s even a 6-ship formation called ★ Milky Way.

To unlock these formations, players must gather Honor Medals, then use the “Formation Reset.” They occur rarely, and that’s just as well… There are hundreds of constellations for every galaxy.

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • Do you know where the constellations “Triangulum” and “Phoenix” originated?
  • Did you recognize any other themes while playing the Closed Alpha or Beta of BattleSpace?
  • If you could name a constellation shaped like a circle, what would you call it?

Commander Skills | Behind the Scenes

May 4 2012

Commander Skills | Behind the Scenes

Here on the BattleBridge, we can view hundreds of commanders available for BattleSpace’s intergalactic wars. One of our favorite parts about this no-download flash game is organizing the perfect militia.

We wanted to introduce you to commander skills, so you can see one of the key strategies behind ATLUS ONLINE’s upcoming sci-fi adventure!

Commanders come with domestic- or combat-oriented skill sets. This affects their Domestic Affairs score, the amount of Forces under their control, and the special bonus they provide when on the front lines.

Let’s check out Lesath, one of Uncommon commanders you can start the game with:

She’s a combat-oriented Ereza with high Command and decent Forces. If she were a domestic-oriented commander, she’d only have a Forces of 3, but her Domestic Affairs score would rank higher.

Her special bonus applies to S-Type ships, with a Skill Effect of 3.0%. This means her torpedo and plasma weaponry are 3.0% more effective than other commanders of her rarity, type, and Level. If she goes through fusion, she could increase in Skill Level, which would bolster her percentages even more. They key to a stronger commander is focusing in these Skill Levels!

Players who participate in the Closed Beta or Open Beta will receive a special commander with a unique skill set. To sign up for the Open Beta, make sure you have an ATLUS ONLINE account, then go to your user profile and subscribe to newsletters. Your next no-download flash game could be waiting just around the corner!

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • You have the power to change our stars! How will you rename Earth, Venus, and Mars?
  • Space pirates or space monkeys?
  • Check out the starting commanders below. Based on their portraits, which one would you choose?
