Conspiracy Entertainment Europe is pleased to announce that they have secured the European publishing rights from NoWay Studio, Poland, to their latest release C.O.R.E. The game is a dynamic fast paced, action packed, first-person shooter for Nintendo DS that will be instantly familiar to everyone who loves classic single player / team based shooter games.
For the last 11 months, NoWay Studio has been busy pushing the limits of the Nintendo DS with amazing full 3D animations and visual effects. This “next generation” title is the first game to bring the FPS experience so familiar to PC gamers, to the Nintendo handheld gameing machine. The team have created a complex of buildings, underground passageways and chambers where players can roam freely battling with a variety of enemies and bosses. Each of the levels is introduced by an in-game movie setting out the objective ahead. Each building or tunnels complex can be completed in a variety of ways allowing the players to discover new weapons, passageways, hiding places and solutions each time the game is played.
KORE is an original platforming game based on the premise of three different characters stuck inside a robotic suit that enhances and amplifies their individual abilities. You take control of Pixie, Madboy, and Rex as you explore a magical and whimsical world to fight back the Krank brothers who are attacking from the center of the Earth. Luckily, the invaders are so stupid that they mess up their own battle plan, buying you some time to find and if possible destroy their doomsday device. Have you got what it takes to take on the evil Kranks and their army of mutant maniacs?
“KORE”, formerly known as “The Kore Gang”, is based on an original concept created by swedish studio ZOINK Games. ZOINK had originally partnered with game development house UDS to produce the game for Xbox. After UDS went out of business, the project was taken back to the drawing board. In 2007, ZOINK partnered with game developer SnapDragon Games to bring the game to Nintendo Wii. In the process, the game was redesigned, many new features added, and the visuals overhauled to create an experience that will take
platforming on the Wii to the next level. Klaus Lyngeled, Creative Director at Zoink, is the creative force behind the project: “KORE stands out not only for its rich gameplay experience and signature art style, but also for its wacky scenario and sense of humour. During the last years, a vast amount of work has gone into the design as well as into
the story and cinematics, and I am sure the audience will appreciate the way we poured our heartblood into it.”Christian Von Duisburg, CEO of SnapDragon Games, comments: “KORE is an incredibly powerful IP and we are proud to be working on this high profile title.

– ‘Jam Mode’ has been taken out…for now. Jam Mode let you play over any song in the game, without the need to follow notes
– Music creation: “We’ve embraced the whole custom community and we’re giving fans what they want. It’s a full recording studio and an online repository, a library for people to post their songs.”
– Difficulty: “The Expert level will still be what it is: you’ll play every note in the song. If it’s a really hard song, it’s going to be really hard to play in the game. And that’s what the hardcore fans want. But for the rest of the people, we’re trying to make the ramp [from Easy to Hard] a little more linear.”
