Sometimes I forget how nice it is to jump into a bright, cartoony world. MMOs can be such serious business these days. <a href="http://remnantknights.gamesamba.com"><em>Remnant Knights</em></a>, published by <a href="http://www.gamesamba.com/">GameSamba</a>, fills the need for escape into a wacky world. It's a truly free free-to-play game that hails from overseas. You know the type: a cash shop attached to an absolutely free client, no pay walls like the ones we see in Western freemium titles, gloriously cartoony and unabashedly cute.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/remnant-knights/"><em>Remnant Knights</em></a> plunks players down in a world of two schools: the Owl Academy and the Dragon Academy. I received a higher-level education with my press account, which made me a member of the Owls. Unfortunately there were no available slots left for me to create a new character, but let me tell you what I found anyway. Hint: It's wacky.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/15/free-for-all-heres-looking-at-you-remnant-knights/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Free for All: Here's looking at you, Remnant Knights</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/15/free-for-all-heres-looking-at-you-remnant-knights/">Free for All: Here's looking at you, Remnant Knights</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:00:00 EST.

While you may have only heard about <a href="http://www.gamesamba.com/">GameSamba</a> from our recent beta key giveaway post, the company's intent is to hit the ground running in the free-to-play market this year. How will it accomplish that? The plan is to bring out a bunch of fun games that all kinds of people will enjoy. Currently, the company's site only shows two games -- <a href="http://www.remnantknights.com"><em>Remnant Knights</em></a> and <a href="http://cocolani.gamesamba.com/"><em>Cocolani Island</em></a> -- which are both in closed beta. However, we understand from our talk at <a href="http://www.massively.com/tag/gdc-2011">GDC</a> that the publisher is working on releasing six more titles in the near future so it can give players even more gaming choices.<br />
<br />
For now, we wanted to focus on finding out more about the two GameSamba free-to-play titles that players will be able to check out soon: <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Remnant-Knights/">Remnant Knights</a></em> and <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Cocolani-Island/">Cocolani Island</a></em>. So if you like the idea of adorable anime girls with obnoxiously enormous guns or tiki-themed minigame madness, join us behind the break for videos and more -- and don't forget the galleries!<br />

Game conventions are normally all about the big guns, and this year's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gdc-2011">GDC</a> is no different. We've talked to them all (as you'll see as the week rolls on), but sometimes it's the little guys that provide the really interesting nuggets.<br />
<br />
Take <a href="http://www.gamesamba.com/">GameSamba</a> and its whimsical free-to-play <a href="http://remnantknights.gamesamba.com/"><em>Remnant Knights</em></a> title, for instance. While the game is currently in closed beta (with a true open beta to come at an as-yet undetermined future date), Massively editor-in-chief <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/editor/shawn-schuster">Shawn Schuster</a> learned about a special one-week beta test after speaking with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gamesamba">GameSamba</a> earlier this afternoon.<br />
<br />
The testing phase starts tomorrow and is open to anyone and everyone. You can sign up, as well as learn more about the game's Priests, Gunners, and Crashers, at the official website. While you're at it, have a look at the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/remnant-knights"><em>Remnant Knights</em></a> trailer after the cut. Finally, don't forget to check back later in the week for an interview with the GameSamba team.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/03/01/gdc-2011-gamesambas-remnant-knights-hosting-special-week-long/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>GDC 2011: GameSamba's Remnant Knights hosting special week-long beta</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/03/01/gdc-2011-gamesambas-remnant-knights-hosting-special-week-long/">GDC 2011: GameSamba's Remnant Knights hosting special week-long beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 01 Mar 2011 20:00:00 EST.
