Ubisoft today announced an awesome looking free-to-play IP, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. This tower defence/dungeon crawler/point-and-clicker (okay I don’t actually know yet what genre it falls under) looks like a ton of fun and you should really check it out.
So what’s this game about?
In Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, your goal is to defeat as many castles as possible and to protect yours from being murderized. You will go on an adventure to loot bigger and well-defended castles to get the resources you need to build your own lair with awesome creatures and traps and gauntlets in order to prevent other players’ heroes from beating it.
The unusual suspects: classes
The Archer
Name: Blackeye Bowgart
Real Name: Scary Thief
Occupation: Crossbow
Attack Type: Ranged
Demeanor: Surly
With just one application of his signature one-eyed scowl, Blackeye Bowgart can make even an innocent bunny rabbit want to rethink his life decisions.
The Knight
Name: Sir Painhammer
Occupation: Celebrity Sports Personality
Attack Type: Melee
Favorite Weapon: Huge Greatsword
Gets His Good Looks From: Mom
As a one-man media empire, Sir Edrick Painhammer has never met an endorsement deal he didn’t like.
The Mage
Name: The Earl of Evilosity
Occupation: Evil Wizard
Attack Type: Ranged

Favorite Type of Domination: World

Based on pure theoretical ability alone, the Earl Of Evilosity may be the absolute worst mad scientist in this or any kingdom.
