Today, Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Commander, an isometric tactical combat game, is now available to play on Facebook.
Brenda Garno Brathwaite, Loot Drop’s cofounder and lead game
designer, has created features that both hard-core and social game
players can enjoy. Hard-core gamers will appreciate the beautiful
graphics, tactical gameplay and faithful translation of the Ghost Recon
franchise to the Facebook platform. Facebook and other casual game
players will like the approachable dynamic combat system and the ability
to start and stop the game at their convenience without penalty. Ghost
Recon Commander also features 10 replayable missions, three difficulty
levels and dozens of weapons for players to choose from to help them win
their missions. These features help make Ghost Recon Commander fun for
all types of gamers.
"We are taking the popular Ghost Recon franchise and bringing it to
platforms that allow players of all skill levels to enjoy at their
leisure, on the platform of their choosing,” said Chris Early, vice
president of digital publishing at Ubisoft. "This is the basis of our
companion gaming strategy that Ghost Recon Commander exemplifies so
well.”
"As a longtime fan of the Ghost Recon franchise, I wanted to make a
game that would appeal to me both as a fan and a gamer,” said Brenda
Garno Brathwaite, lead game designer and cofounder of Loot Drop. "Ghost
Recon Commander highlights the tactical gameplay that fans of the series
will enjoy in a social environment that’s accessible to all types of
gamers.”
In Ghost Recon Commander, players will be able to develop their own
"Ghost,” an elite Special Forces operator utilizing stealth, firepower
and exciting near-future technology to take command of the battlefield
against impossible odds.
Other features in Ghost Recon Commander include:
- · Gamer-on-the-Go: Players have the ability to pick up where they
left off in Ghost Recon Commander; it doesn’t matter if they’ve been
away from the game for a day or for an hour, time is not a constraint.
- · Customization: Ghosts can be upgraded and customized with state-of-the-art weaponry, armor and near-future gadgets.
- · Asynchronous Co-op: Players will be able to have friends join them on missions or offer themselves up as a mercenary for hire.
Ghost Recon Commander can be played as a stand-alone game or played
to tie into the overall Ghost Recon universe. Following Ubisoft’s
companion gaming strategy, players are encouraged to play the game
alongside Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, available on
consoles May 25th, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online, available later
this year. By playing Ghost Recon Commander, players will be able to
unlock exclusive weapons, weapon skins and bonuses to use while playing
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Ghost Recon Online. Ghost Recon
Commander players can also gain benefits, such as exclusive characters,
by playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
