Samu Games announces the release of Artifact to join the ranks of online paintball games

Samu Games. Artifact, the new Internet-based game from Samu Games, is now in general release. Artifact combines exploration and empire-building, city planning and management, and real-time combat resolution in a persistant-world, multi-player environment.

"Artifact melds the worlds of real-time strategy and massively multiplayer games with a fully featured online community to create something unique and exciting," says Douglas Michael, Samu Games VP of Product Development and lead designer of Artifact.

Features of Artifact:

Internet-based - If you can connect to the Internet (and have Windows 95/98/NT), you can play Artifact.

Multi-player - The ultimate opponents: other players from all over the United States and even the World. Not only are you competing with other Real, Live players, but you can also join alliances with other players.

Persistent World - Artifact is always running. When you log out, your empire is still there--your population is still growing, your workers are still working, your military is still there defending your holdings.

Real-time Strategy - All building, movement and combat are resolved in real time.

Free to Play - Artifact is FREE to play as long as you want, though there are benefits for buying Artifact Citizenship. Learn to play without paying a cent, or go for full privileges right from the start. It's your choice.
