Turf Battles

Turf Battles (TB) is IMAZIC's fantasy MMORPG set in the world of Fomalhaut, originally introduced in 2002. After early technical issues caused original publisher HyperEngines LLC to close in 2008, Aeria Games picked up the North American release before shutting its servers down again in 2010. EonicGames re-released the title as a full rebuild in 2014, including the original's Island PK (player-kill) system, running the game through recurring 3-month content "Seasons."

Why you might like it

  • The Island PK (player-kill) system offers a distinct, high-stakes PvP mode inherited from the original build.
  • A recurring "Seasons" content structure (roughly every 3 months) gives regular new goals and balance changes.
  • Has shown real resilience, being fully rebuilt and re-released in 2014 after two earlier publisher shutdowns.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game has already survived two full shutdowns under earlier publishers (HyperEngines in 2008, Aeria Games in 2010), a history worth knowing before investing time.
  • Current server activity under EonicGames' ownership could not be independently confirmed at time of writing.
  • Its tangled publisher history can make it hard to find up-to-date, accurate information online.
