Gameloft brings WoW-like 'Order and Chaos Online' to iOS

by Ben Gilbert on Mar 18th 2011 10:25AM

Earlier this week, Gameloft revealed a new MMORPG intended for distribution on the iOS App Store -- a first for the French copycat developer. Not a first, however, is the game's concept and art style, which more or less directly ape Blizzard's behemoth, World of Warcraft.

As seen in the game's first trailer, Order & Chaos Online pits the forces of Order against those of Chaos in a massive, multiplayer setting. The forces of both sides, it seems, are on vacation from Azeroth ... and they like vacationing somewhere very similar to home. Gameloft hasn't given its first mobile MMO a release date, but does say it's "coming soon" to the iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone.

Say what you like about GameLoft, but I really enjoyed Hail-O, Deity of Battle, and I Can't Believe It's Not Diablo.

@MNeko

Yeah me too. Their games are like Chinese knockoffs!

Can't wait for Smash Panda-Cute and Mass Occurrence.

@MNeko

I'm not going to lie...I got really excited and just Googled "Hail-O".

And now I'm mildly disappointment =(

@MNeko

What about super smash cousins?

Or Pack-Man

Wow..

Well, not like its the first time they, or any F2P MMO for that matter, has shamelessly copied WoW.

@DevilSei

haha good point

Oh WoW!!

I don't get how they can so clearly copy various IP's and not get sued into the ground...

@Arkanaloth
Because they aren't reselling them, they are Free to Play. Companies won't go after someone who isn't stealing their market.

@Arkanaloth Because you can't sue over someone doing a similar premise to yours. Have you ever seen a movie studio getting sued for the constant idea jacking that goes on in that industry?

@yomachaser

true, but I've also seen Apple & Microsoft slam litigation (or at least try to) on just about anybody infringing on "look and feel". It seems like GameLoft have managed to slip by or are just ignored. Wonder if it's due to them not being in the same market (Phone based as opposed to computer based), meh... I'll not think on it anymore, I was an art major for a reason afterall. *goes off to do ditzy yet artistic things*

lol, it looks like the ripped assets directly from wow. On the other hand I might enjoy a decent mmo experience on my phone, but they would need to bring this to Android for me to be able to check it out.

@Poor Tom Sampled. They sampled assets.

@Poor Tom
They seem to be approaching parity with their Android releases. Their distribution method on Andoid seems to be a giant hurdle for a lot of people though.

Yeah ... i just watched that ... and i almost thought i was watching someone play WoW on the lowest quality setting

Hahaha. Oh Gameloft.

I like how two of the guys have names from Spartacus.

Also, this looks cool. Depending on how it controls, I might be up for it.

Ah Gameloft. The corporate equivalent of that guy that paid other people to write his papers in college.

@TheOtherJames

ROFL

thumbs up for you!

Hah. Gameloft. No sale.

Make fun of them all you want but their games sale and they are entertaining. They are the ones getting the real laughs...all the way to the bank.

@HaVoK308 Yep, agreed...plus I'd rather play a knock off of a well know franchise, than a frigging those frigging main stream disposable games like Angry Boils or Doodle Hump my leg. GameLoft's Zelda-like game is pretty damn good (in the middle of it).

Even their ports are terrible. Assassins Creed on the iPhone still gives me nightmares..

Gameloft is related to Ubisoft somehow, I forget how.

Whomever is playing in that pic is apparently a fan of Spartacus: Blood and Sand :)

@Alphonze
Well, you can't suddenly expect these guys to have an original thought. They had to copy the names from somewhere!

Say what you want about the knock off, off brand games Gameloft puts out. I think it's great that they bring these console experiences into your phone.
I have a very busy work schedule and can go weeks without time to sit in front of a console. So if I want to play a FPS on my flight, I have NOVA; if I want to play Zelda, I have Sacred Odyssey, etc.
Until other publishers/developers bring these games to the mobile space I say "Gameloft, keep 'em comin'". I can't wait for them to put out "Mass Occurrence".

@TheRedComet: Their CEOs are brothers.

@(Unverified)

Yeah I liked NOVA as a PSP mini. It actually is the best FPS on PSP. They nailed the controls and it is awesome for $5. Still a blatant rip off of Halo but the story and cut scenes are so bad it is good.

Even though gameloft rips off other devs, their games are still pretty good.

Will keep an eye out for this one

did no one tell them the names of the factions in warhammer online were 'order' and 'chaos' ?

Good enough, let's see how they like being ripped off for a change.

Varro and Crixus?! Spartacus Blood and Sand anyone?
