The physical Android-controller designed by Green Throttle Games, Atlas, is adding functionality for the following: Duke Nukem 3D, The Bard’s Tale, Painkiller: Purgatory, Slyon Ball and Suran and Freefall Tournament.
Green Throttle™ Games, creator of the Atlas wireless game controller and developer of the Arena app, has announced the addition of six new Android games playable within its ecosystem. Now available in the Arena for Google Play and Amazon App Store is Freefall Tournament, a multiplayer third person shooter that now allows for cross platform network play with PC users; coming this week are “The Bard’s Tale,” a fantastically funny role-playing game, and “Suran,” a skill-based endless runner. In addition, three popular games are in development and will be coming soon, including the classic action game “Duke Nukem,” 3D action shooter “Painkiller: Purgatory HD” and arcade action game “Slyon Ball.”
Charles Huang, co-founder and CEO of Green Throttle states: “Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to bringing popular games that appeal to hardcore gamers to our platform – not just casual games. We have made console-like gaming extremely accessible to mobile consumers by using the Android device they already own, and we are excited to see these new games come to life on the big screen TV.”
