Use GPS to claim your neighborhood

Parallel Kingdom - Age of Emergence has just arrived in the Android Market. It's a free-to-play real-time MMO.

It's got old school, zelda style graphics but the GPS technology, global chatting, and other features are relatively advanced. You can build territory flags, houses and about a dozen other buildings around your real life location.

Here's a trailer for it:

Has anyone tried this game yet?

I'm a developer so any feedback or reviews would be awesome

It looks cool enough. But my question is, will android and iphone users be compatible? Also is it one of those games where it literally uses your gps location to move in game. I dont want to have to be moving all over town just to play the game lol. Dling it now, I'll let you know what I think.

Good questions. First, yes Android and iPhone users are compatible in the sense that everyone plays together and interacts in the same game world.

Second, we've incorporated some ways to make sure that you don't have to physically move if you don't want to. You still can, but there isn't a true need. The main way for a new player to get to new hunting territory is to use your Dog. Everybody starts with one. Just tap it and select "Walk Dog" and he'll take you to some new territory.

Is there a online tutorial or something? This game seems really cool but it just drops you in the game and I have no idea what to do. Plus if I get some sort of message while playing I am kicked from the game. It may be my hardware, but seems like the game also runs rather slow.

There should be a tutorial that starts as soon as the game begins. If you're having trouble seeing messages, then the tutorial may not be working correctly for you.

If you want to learn as you go, every item and building in the game has an "Info" button which will take you to the online guide entry to give you some info about it.

Also, there is a help channel dedicated to new players and questions. Go to Menu>>Chat>>Help Chat. If you ask questions in here, the other players are pretty good about helping out

I never saw a tutorial. I tried for over an hour to figure out how to play and then uninstalled it.
