Game of immortals
An epic medieval battle controlled with your smartphone
— What is the Game of Immortals? –Nicolás asked.
— It's super fun! It has something different, which I'm not going to tell you. lt's better that you see it for yourself. Come on, download this app.Felipe showed his phone to his friend and Nicholas downloaded the app.
— Is it this one?
Felipe nodded.
Nicolás read the description: "Legendary battles between knights and wizards who seek the source of immortality: the Holy Grail."
— Then, the objective is to obtain the Grail?— Exactly -Felipe said- but during the jouney you have to defend the town's inhabitants from the attacks of their enemies.
— As in every role-playing game, right?
— Yeah, this is a role-playing game.
Nicolás looked at the possible avatars that he could choose for the adventure. He chose to be a knight and entered the town to begin the demo.— Go straight through the main street until you reach the lake –Felipe told him.
— Nicolás obeyed. When he reached the lake,Felipe said –Now, look at your reflection in the water. Nicolás saw himself in the reflection. His features, his hair colour, his eyes. The knight was him.
—I don't understand. The avatar has my face?— This is the best characteristic of the game!Felipe said excitingly-. It offers a real experience.But a TRUE real experience.
