Sea Wolves offers action and adventure on the high
seas

Dale City, Va. - Jan. 25, 2005 - Alawar Entertainment (www.alawar.com), a leading publisher of downloadable games for the PC, has released Sea Wolves, a 3D action game in which you explore the ocean in search of enemies, treasure and uncharted territory. Featuring simple controls, intense combat and the latest visual effects, Sea Wolves is designed to appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers.

Sea Wolves allows you to tailor the action to your
liking. You begin by selecting a captain and a ship,
each of which has unique abilities. From Victoria
Rush, whose boat can slice through rough waters and
take out enemies with ease, to Ironman, a master
strategist whose vessel is outfitted with resilient
armor, the characters provide a variety of starting
points. As you gain experience in combat, you can
assign points to increasing your ship's armor,
firepower and speed, preparing yourself for the
tougher battles that lie ahead.

Intuitive ship navigation and weapon controls allow
you to concentrate on sinking enemy boats rather than
steering a cumbersome vessel. Using your keyboard or
mouse, you can easily circle foes from a distance
while lobbing shells from your cannons. You can also
zoom in for a quick strike and then quickly back
peddle to avoid an airborne attack. Each ship is
equipped with boat-to-air missiles for taking out
enemy airplanes.

Sea Wolves includes 22 levels with clear-cut
objectives, examples of which include unlocking the
gates to the next mission and destroying a hostile
fortress in order to reclaim stolen maps. An
on-screen navigation chart shows the location of your
next goal, while a radar indicates the position of
nearby enemies. In addition, the sea is brimming with
health, treasure and ports of call, where you can save
your progress.

Sea Wolves uses a 3D engine featuring the latest
visual effects. For starters, each player vessel
contains animated parts, bringing to life the age when wind-powered ships gave way to the first workable steam engines. The waters surrounding your boat have been designed with an eye for detail, too; sunlight dances on the surface of the ocean and shines through to the rocky bottom below, twilight gives the game world an amber hue, and smoke trails trace the path of each shell and missile as it arcs through the air.
Realistic physics play a part in ship navigation as
well, as your boat will pitch and sway according to
its movement across the deep and buck with each blast
of your cannons.
