uCool today announced the official launch of Tynon, a social fantasy RPG / city-building game. Developed by the team that created Evony, Tynon introduces new concepts to the social gaming landscape, combining a mix of established online game mechanics with story-driven, RPG gameplay and vivid art and animations. Play Tynon for free now at: http://tynon.ucool.com/.

In Tynon, players control the elite knight Rosaline in a quest to rescue her king and save the realm from an evil wizard’s plot, battling wicked goblins, serpent queens and feisty dwarves across 100 different, hand-drawn levels. On their journey, players will build up a roster of unique heroes, collect epic loot and ultimately rescue the world of Tynon.

In addition to questing through underwater cities, enchanted forests and more, players are tasked with helping to rebuild the once-magnificent Imperial City. Gamers customize and upgrade their city by building houses, shops and farms, collecting currency and other resources to improve their heroes and continue the fight. Players may cooperate with friends on Facebook and other social networks to gain extra resources, or, additionally, fight their friends in the game’s PvP arena.

• Build an Empire – City-building mechanics let players create their own custom kingdoms
• Single Player Adventure – Travel the realm and battle different foes across 100 levels, collecting unique heroes, epic loot, gold, and other resources
• Animated Combat – Vivid battle scenes provide for an immersive single-player experience
• RPG Customization – Adventurers select which heroes make up their party, customizing them with special weapons, armor, and more
• Interact with Friends – Utilize the help of friends to upgrade cities, as well as gain resources by visiting and maintaining their towns
• PvP – Strengthen heroes and improve party formations to defeat friends and online foes, or race other players in daily resource challenges to win awards and recognition on worldwide ranking boards that scale by player level and time played
• Conquer Quests – Complete quests to receive gold and gems, which can be used to upgrade weapons and armor, level up heroes, and construct special buildings

We just played Tynon and it is a great Browser MMORPG. The video we captured is based on our 15 minute playing. Take a look at the video of how the gameplay works.

Let’s come back to the era of chivalry. A dark wizard has possessed the King with a spell and casted shadows over the entire kingdom with dark magic. Wicked goblins ravage the land, and malicious queens plague the city. Thirteen kingdoms as well as their master are in dire condition. Luckily, the elite knight Rosaline is determined to save the King and rebuild the kingdom to its former glory. And he needs your participation and help. Welcome to Tynon.

Tynon is an upcoming hybrid title that blends elements of role-playing, action, city-building, strategy and social into a unique experience. The most important features in the game include single-player adventure, PvP combat, city-building and player interaction.

In it, players will embark on the adventure (sounds like the usual quest system in role-playing games), as they travel across the realm, recruit different heroes, battle monsters and gain gold, gems, resources and XP. At the outset, 13 levels will be set for exploration, with overall 100 levels promised for players to level up characters. It’s highly likely to have turn-based combat that involves strategy and tactics in battles, which is assumed from the teaser trailer but needed to confirm yet.

Players will have their own cities to build, upgrade and customize. Accordingly, resources and coins are needed and predictably earned from questing. Conflict around resources is one of the reasons why players fight against each other. Besides, players can also get resources by visiting friends’ castle, typical in social games on Facebook.

Tynon is launching on both Facebook and web browsers. Official site is set up but almost blank, except the date of 07-04-2012 is listed. What is it, beta or launch? We will see.
