Bigpoint.com publishes "Hellblades": Fast-paced helicopter action in various scenarios

  • First Flash-based massively-multiplayer helicopter action game
  • 2 game modes: Complete game playable in PvE or in PvP mode
Hamburg, November 9th, 2009 – Whirring rotor blades, firefights and bonafide helicopter action – welcome to the world of Hellblades (http://www.bigpoint.com/games/hellblades), the first Flash-based massively-multiplayer helicopter action game. In Bigpoint GmbH's latest browser game, the player pilots one of ten lifelike helicopters. Whether by land, sea or air, the game provides exciting duels with real opponents and an intelligent enemy AI. Only the top fighter aces will be fit enough to win all these aircraft.

In battle, the player will need to have strategic finesse to beat his opponents with skillful playing techniques. A comprehensive tutorial provides for an easy game start before the player is sent on one of the 30 exciting and diverse missions. The whole game can be played against the computer in PvE mode or against thousands of real-life players in PvP mode.

Action-packed combat helicopter battles
At the start of the game, the player is confronted in six worlds with a total of 24 different computer-controlled opponents. Thanks to continuous content updates, Hellblades is always good for a surprise with new opponents, new aircraft, new objects, new missions and even new worlds.

Hellblades is designed to stay exciting over the long run: With every level-up, the player is given access to new worlds. Each world awaits the player with a detailed environment, new missions and completely new opponents. Hellblades also offers a wide variety of sophisticated weather phenomena which directly influence the course of the game. In this way, there are always new game situations to master.

Improve, modify, individualize
There are multiple upgrade possibilities available which are also visible on the helicopter right in the game. That way, each player can create his/her own individual combat helicopter. Hellblades offers a total of eleven weapons which develop dynamically along with the player’s success in the game.

Bigpoint GmbH will put Hellblades online as an Open Beta version starting November 1, 2009. The official release for Germany is planned for the end of 2009, and the international rollout will follow at the beginning of 2010.
