12/29/2014 - Nikita Online and Boyojoy Launch Clash of Olympus
NIKITA ONLINE and Boyojoy Launch Clash of Olympus via GameXP Connect


29th of December 2014, Moscow. — NIKITA ONLINE and Boyojoy are pleased to announce the Russian release of web-based side-scrolling MMORPG Clash of Olympus on the GameXP entertainment web-portal.

Clash of Olympus (
http://bb.gamexp.ru/) may give an impression of an arcade platform game to those watching it being played from behind somebody else’s shoulder. Why is it so? Well, first of all, Clash of Olympus is a side-scroller, which means that all the characters move mostly from left to right and vise versa. Secondly, Clash of Olympus is marked by intense gameplay uncharacteristic of any typical RPG. And the third thing to complete the illusion is the game’s fiercely flamboyant visuals. Only after spending some time here on his or her own can a player discover the true nature of Clash of Olympus: it is a real MMORPG with class system, PvP and PvE modes, pets, quests and more!

Currently NIKITA ONLINE operates in Russia, CIS and the Baltic states with 22 MMO and browser-based titles, including social and mobile game The Panic Room: Outrage.
