Electronic Arts announced recently the release of the award winning title Orcs & Elves, an exciting brand new first-person fantasy role playing game. Created exclusively for mobile phones by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, the game is now available for download across Europe.

A truly groundbreaking release for the mobile platform, Orcs & Elves offers a fantastic experience for both the casual gamer and hardcore role playing game fan alike. By successfully marrying the storytelling and visuals of the fantasy RPG genre with the accessibility of the mobile format, Orcs & Elves provides rich levels of gameplay that can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime by mobile gamers.

Following the success of DOOM RPG, Orcs & Elves is an epic adventure, created by id Software and developed by Fountainhead Entertainment that utilizes the next generation DOOM RPG graphics engine, resulting in absorbing gameplay coupled with breathtaking attention to detail. Gamers are immersed in an original fantasy universe, combining both first-person action adventures with mind bending puzzles in the ultimate example of good versus evil.

"With Orcs & Elves we were able to take what was great about DOOM RPG, and bring tons of new features to the experience in a brand new world," said John Carmack, founder and technical director, id Software. "The pace of development in mobile gaming allows us to evolve by leaps and bounds each year, rather than stretched out over four years like a high end PC or console game."

With the help of a magical talking wand, players explore an ancient Dwarven fortress riddled with legendary beasts and untold treasures. Wielding mystical weapons from flaming swords to deadly crossbows, gamers must use their wits to solve devious puzzles and deadly traps. With over 35 vicious enemies to defeat, each with their own unique A.I. and personality, Orcs & Elves offers over five hours of continuous spellbinding gameplay, allowing remarkable levels of replay ability. Featuring magic potions, enchanted rings and dragon scale armor, Orcs & Elves offers the opportunity to escape to a land of adventure, mystery and sorcery.
