MagVigor

Developed by Volk and published by VolkGam
Fantasy Magic third-person MO Action RPG.
Confrontations of magicians and knights on separate arenas in PvP and PvE.
Fight! Or run!
A player can play by characters of different races and fight online battles with real people. The game concept is based on such well-known projects as SpellForce and World of Tanks. In 2018 appeared the idea of creating third-person ( first-person) magic fights in multiplayer mode. The name MagVigor comes from the words Magic and Vigor, which means Magical Energy or Witchcraft Power. Locations are designed for 5-10 players. The goal is to level up your warriors as much as possible for more interesting and colorful magic fights.

Developed by New IDEA Games and published by New IDEA Games
NEW POINTCLICK STYLE CONTROLS!
Thank you for all the feedback! We understood that the controls were horrible, so decided to change the concept and transform our game to the first ARCADE FMV ever! Hope you will like it... :)
Hijacker Jack is the first ever FMV live-action game with real-time interaction. Our hero is controlled in first-person point of view through the story, while he has to survive thrilling action scenes by making decisions in every 2-3 seconds, delivering punchkick combinations in fist fights, jumping between rooftops or even just like in any FPS game, grab a shotgun and maintain public order.
THE STORY
Our hero lives peacefully off-the-grid when one day he is kidnapped, re-shaped and thrown into a fancy luxurious world as a celebrity impostor. All seems fine while living the highlife until he suddenly experiences the dark side of his fame
During his transformation he has to survive some romance and thrilling adventures, including fist fights, gun fights, car chasing, parkour and much more. While he cant trust anyone around him, he slowly starts figuring out the reason behind his kidnapping. Our decisions during the game will affect his karma as we choose between material values or turning back to his old life, which finally leads the story to one of the four different alternate endings.
