Earlier today we reported<\/a> on the new locally developed mobile MMO from The Grid.<\/p>\n

Legends of Echo is essentially an massively multiplayer online game that is played on mobile phones, and links players together in a central game world that is based on the South African map. Players can explore, trade, build and fight in order to earn legend points, and climb a leader board.<\/p>\n

The Echo is a world that is strangely familiar yet undeniably different, where the scientific and the arcane co-exist and where we earthlings can roam and rampage in an assumed form – all through the screens of our mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Featuring exciting one-on-one battles in a multiplayer role-playing environment, Legends of Echo combines the best of location-based services, social networking features and online mobile gaming.<\/p>\n

Players are free to roam the Echo – built entirely on South African street maps – to discover and forge weapons in preparation for their next battle.
In addition, players can trade with each other or interact via an in-game instant messaging system that harnesses the power of mobile social network, The Grid.<\/p>\n
