Chillingo releases Korean iPhone RPG SEED 1

With the holiday season stretching ahead of us, clearly what we need to fill those days of leisure in the bosom of friends and family is some right proper role-playing games to wile away the hours.

In which case, Com2uS has launched The Chronicles of Inotia 2: A Wanderer of Luone, while Chillingo is replying with SEED 1: Rise of Darkness.

Developed by Korean outfit CH Games, it employs many of the traditions of RPGdom - start as unskilled apprentice, complete quests, discover new weapons, become powerful hero etc.

There's also this - grow and customise your character, collect special items and manipulate them to your preference through socketing, compounding and refining...

Plus a bit of - battle armies of monsters using weapons and magical forces, upgrade skills, learn new abilities via elemental combat powers, weapon specialisations and stunning magical spells...

Of course, no self respecting RPG could fail to have - real-time changes to the game universe so you see day turning to night in-game, just as it does in the real world. Some quests can only be done at night.

And, just to make sure nothing been left out - if you want to save time moving around the game world, you can take a trip on the ship or the air balloon to make your travel easier.

See. Everything in the RPG design bible plus the kitchen sink is present and correct.
