Nekki, one of Russia’s premier social and mobile game developer/publishers and creators of Shadow Fight and Vector, brings “Gladiators”, an exciting new Social RPG to Facebook. 

The year is 100 AD — the pinnacle of prosperity and hedonism in ancient Rome. The Emperor's campaigns provide his coffers with an endless flow of treasure and resources. Wealthy Romans are hungry for sensational entertainment, and none rival the popularity and notoriety of Rome's enormous arenas where 100,000 spectators gather to enjoy the violent chariot races and gladiator battles! 

Nekki's new game carries you back to these glorious times, when Gladiators were superstars of the Roman nation. “Gladiators for Facebook” is the successor of the award winning browser game “Gladiators.com” which has thrilled over 4 million people worldwide since 2010. Start your career by spotting talented candidates or hiring experienced mercenaries in the Roman markets. With the help of hand-picked trainers, look after the proper training of your men as you gain experience, influence and money and battle throughout the empire! Of course, you are not alone on Facebook! Countless competitors seek wealth and glory goal as well, but only few will eventually walk the halls of power as a mighty imperial senator.

At the heart of this new “social RPG” lies a sophisticated real-time battle system, which will test your fighters in every scenario from 1-on-1 duels all out melee battles with up to fourteen combatants and ten unit types. A deep Roman politico-economic simulation ties the battles together as you navigate senate elections, debates, assassinations, and coups. Don’t miss this spectacle!

Vector is now available for Android!

Vector is now available for Android!... More
Game creator Nekki is pleased to announce that its Parkour-inspired action game “Vector” is now officially out on Google Play for Android. Even better, users of Android smart phones as well as Android tablet users can download the fascinating Parkour adventure free of charge.



“Vector for Android” is a mobile conversion of the popular Facebook game “Vector”, which has already delighted more than 10 million players on iOS, Facebook and other social networks since its initial launch in summer 2012.
Unlike the iOS version, “Vector for Android” combines the free and the deluxe version in one single app: 20 stirring Parkour tracks can be enjoyed completely costless. An upgrade to the 40 levels of “Vector Deluxe” is offered inside the app for only $ 0.99.

“Vector” is an exciting, arcade-style game featuring the player as the exceptional free runner who won’t be held down by a totalitarian system. The game opens with a view into a bleak future world where freedom and individually are nothing more than a distant dream. But the heart of a free runner is strong, and so he breaks free! He runs, vaults, slides and climbs using extraordinary techniques based on the urban ninja sport of Parkour - all while being chased by Big Brother whose sole purpose is to capture him and bring him back. Take up your Android devices and enjoy the 40 unique high-resolution levels, all accessible with an exciting, addicting, one-finger control! Still a predominately single-player experience, but play it once and you’ll see the multiplayer potential is enormous. Nekki promises to add many more thrilling levels in the future - as well as additional game modes such as “Survival” or “Player-vs-Player”.

Free Version of Vector Available

Nekki launches “Vector Free” for iPad and iPhone... More
 Game creator Nekki today announced the launch of a free version of its hit title “Vector” for iPad and iPhone.

“Vector Free” is a limited version of the original game Vector, which has already fascinated 5 million players on iOS, Facebook.com and VKontakte.ru since its initial launch in summer 2012.
Same as the full version, Vector Free is available in two different variants — each optimized for iPhone or iPad hardware. 

Vector is an exciting, arcade-style game featuring the player as the exceptional free runner who won’t be held down by a totalitarian system.

He runs, vaults, slides and climbs using extraordinary techniques based on the urban ninja sport of Parkour — all while being chased by Big Brother whose sole purpose is to capture him and bring him back.

Take up your iPhone or iPad and enjoy the +20 unique high-resolution levels, all accessible with an exciting, addicting, one-finger control! Still a predominately single-player experience, but play it once and you’ll see the multiplayer potential is enormous. Nekki plans to add many more thrilling levels regularly, additional game modes and additional languages, as well as an Android release in Q1/ 2013. Compared to the full version Vector Free consists of 20 (instead of 40) Parkour tracks and displays some unostentatious advertising at the end of each level.
Furthermore Vector Free will introduce the “TapJoy” service, which gives players the opportunity to earn Vector’s in-game currency “coins” by simply installing some recommended third-party apps.

In 24 months Gladiators has attracted more than 3 million players worldwide!... More
Since we have launched the browser game "Gladiators" (www.mygladiators.com) two years ago, it has developed to one of our most successful projects. In 24 months Gladiators has attracted more than 3 million players worldwide! To celebrate this success, we have prepared a info chart with many interesting facts about the game!

About the game "Gladiators":
It is the year 100 AD – it is the time of prosperity in ancient Rome. The emperor's campaigns provide the capital with an endless flow of resources and slaves. The wealthy citizens of Rome can dedicate themselves to fine arts, philosophy and politics. The by far most popular kind of entertainment, though, takes place in Rome's enormous arenas: Up to hundreds of thousands of people attend the chariot races and gladiator fights, which the emperor holds regularly, true to the motto "Bread and games are to be given to the people!".

A successful gladiator can procure his employer a huge fortune, glory and after all enormous political power. So – what seems more likely for a young adventurer than to found his own school of gladiators? In Nekki's browser game "Gladiators" the player is supposed to do this! Endowed with a moderate starting credit, he founds a school of brave fighters. With the help of some hand-picked trainers he looks after the proper education of his men. Bit by bit he can aggregate more experience, influence and money. Of course, in doing so, the player is not alone in ancient Rome: Thousands of other players pursue the same goal in the free MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game)...

Nekki presents IceKings

Gamescom 2010: Nekki proudly presents the free online ice hockey manager "IceKings"... More
Right in time for the Gamescom 2010 browser games provider Nekki is presenting its third game: In "IceKings", German and English speaking ice hockey fans can from now on chase the puck in competition with many thousands of fellow players all around the clock.
The release of "Icekings" is happening exactly one year after the publication of Nekki's football manager "11x11", which could already captivate over 600,000 Europeans in this short time span!
 
Similar to "11x11" the turbulent job of a manager is authentically and excitingly displayed: How do I create a top-team and achieve national as well as international success? Is my tactics the right one, is my team lineup correct? Which ice hockey stars could improve my team? Is my stadium big enough for top team encounters? Every manager of an ice hockey team in "IceKings" has to find the right answers to these kinds of questions, and his or her ideal strategy.
 
"IceKings" runs in a browser window (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox), exactly like the football manager "11x11", and therefore neither an installation nor high performance hardware are required. "IceKings" provides many features that can only be realized in a MMOG (massive multiplayer online game), like mega tournaments with up to 256 players at the same time or an international player-to-player transfer market.
 
In order to keep the planned release date in time for the Gamescom 2010, a live-view-mode for the encounters is initially not yet available. It will be supplied in a few weeks, after the completion of the beta phase. Ice hockey fans , though, should not wait for that, but create their own ice hockey team right now:  because those who join a MMOG in the beginning phase, will later – when a bulk of players register –belong to the victorious and experienced "old hands"!
