Ntreev revamps and relaunches free-to-play casual golf game

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Previously known as Albatross 18, Ntreev USA has recently revamped and is preparing to relaunch their casual golf game, Pangya.  Now in beta at pangya.ntreev.net, the new version includes full game play from Pangya’s Season 3.  Ntreev plans on pumping the game full of Season 4 content just before the summer (May).  This new season 4 content will feature new characters, locations, and a number of new customization options.

“Pangya has enjoyed worldwide success and popularity, including its tremendous mainstream popularity in the U.S. market,” said Chris Lee, CEO at Ntreev USA. “Pangya offers a unique golf experience that is easy to pick-up-and-play, and appeals to a wide variety of skilled and casual players alike. We are excited that we could bring it back to the North American players who love it.”

The free-to-play casual game takes players out onto the green in an easy to pick up and play golf experience, suited for players of all levels.  Featuring simple and intuitive controls, players that are familiar with windows are already familiar with Pangya game controls.  The game also allows players a high level of customization, featuring 8 unique playable characters with thousands of possible character costume, accessories, equipment, club, power boosts, combinations.  These character upgrades will be made available via an in game shop for microtransaction purchase.

Pangya’s microtransaction purchased are made via the in game cash system known as Pang.  Players earn pang by finishing a hole at par or better, and by showcasing powerful shots.

An interesting and unique approach to free-to-play gaming, and a possible casual play alternative to EA’s popular Tiger Woods golf, Pangya is now open for beta at pangya.ntreev.net.
