Motu Video Games: Bringing 80s Nostalgia & Modern Gameplay to a New Generation

Grayslake, IL – November 8, 2023 – Remember He-Man? Skeletor? The epic battles on Eternia? QUINAULT LACEY LLC, a US-based game development studio, is bringing all that nostalgia, and then some, with its brand-new line of Motu video games. Based out of Grayslake, Illinois, the company is tapping into the huge demand for retro revivals, blending classic Masters of the Universe charm with cutting-edge gaming technology. “We're not just making games; we're building experiences,” says a spokesperson for QUINAULT LACEY LLC. “A lot of us grew up with He-Man and Skeletor. We want to share that feeling of adventure and excitement with a whole new audience, while also giving long-time fans something really special.” What are Motu Video Games? QUINAULT LACEY LLC isn’t stopping at just one game. They're building a whole universe of Motu experiences. Here’s a peek at what’s in the pipeline: Motu: Clash of Eternia (Mobile, iOS & Android): This is their flagship title. Clash of Eternia is a fast-paced, collectible card game (CCG) where players build decks featuring iconic heroes and villains from the Masters of the Universe franchise. Think Hearthstone meets Eternia. Players collect cards, upgrade their characters, and battle against friends or AI opponents. The game boasts stunning artwork based on the original 80s animation, as well as new, dynamic character designs. “We’ve really focused on making this easy to pick up and play, but with a lot of strategic depth,” explains the game designer. “You can build a deck around your favorite character – He-Man, She-Ra, Man-At-Arms – and really tailor your play style.” Regular updates with new cards and characters are planned to keep the gameplay fresh. A beta version of Clash of Eternia is available now for sign-up on their website. He-Man: Battle Ram Rumble (PC & Console - Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox): This is where things get really action-packed. Battle Ram Rumble is a 3D arena brawler, allowing players to step into the boots of He-Man, Skeletor, or a roster of other heroes and villains. The game focuses on fast-paced combat, over-the-top special moves, and destructible environments. Think Super Smash Bros., but with more swords, sorcery, and muscle. "We wanted to capture the sheer power and energy of the Masters of the Universe universe," says the lead combat designer. "He-Man isn’t just swinging a sword, he’s unleashing a whirlwind of destruction! Skeletor has a whole arsenal of dark magic at his disposal." Players can customize their characters with unlockable skins and power-ups. Local and online multiplayer modes will also be available. She-Ra: Princess of Power: Realm Defenders (PC & Mobile): A tower defense game with a twist. Players defend the Crystal Castle from the Horde by strategically placing heroes and building fortifications. The game features a unique art style inspired by the She-Ra series, with vibrant colors and detailed character models. Players can unlock and upgrade a variety of She-Ra’s allies, each with unique abilities. "We wanted to create a game that celebrated the strength and intelligence of She-Ra and her friends,” states the game’s art director. “The gameplay is accessible, but there’s a lot of depth in terms of strategy and character customization.” Motu: Eternian Quest (RPG - PC): For fans of deeper storytelling and character progression, Eternian Quest is a full-fledged RPG. Players create their own hero and embark on an epic journey across Eternia, uncovering ancient secrets and battling evil forces. The game features a branching storyline, allowing players to make choices that impact the world around them. "We're aiming for a classic RPG experience," explains the narrative designer. "Think Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy, but set in the Masters of the Universe universe. Players will get to explore Eternia, meet iconic characters, and forge their own destiny."
