Goals

Recognizing players’ preference for a seamless experience across devices, ELEX created a cross-platform version of its successful mobile game Clash of Kings by integrating it into Facebook.com. The company wanted to take the game global by making it accessible to players on their devices of choice.

While the original mobile version of Clash of Kings was built on Unity, ELEX invested in hiring 20 engineers and re-wrote the whole game in flash to improve player experience. Features were also redesigned and updated to ensure balance between mobile & desktop versions of the game.
