King explores word game genre with ‘AlphaBetty Saga’

Candy Crush franchise developer King Digital Entertainment continuing with its Saga series has introduced AlphaBetty Saga, a word based game where players play as Betty, to explore her journey and her grandfather Professor Alpha and his assistant Barney, to discover lost words to complete the ‘Encyclopedia of Everything’.

The game challenges players to take plunge into the world of words, accompanied by an adventurous band of mice. The game has 140 levels divided into three Chapters: London, Egypt, New York.

The game offers non-linear gameplay with a lot of word play and strategic opportunities for players as they are tasked with connecting adjacent letters to create words, score points and ultimately advance in the Betty’s world of mice and cheese.

“At King, we’re continually thinking of new ways to entertain our players and diversify our portfolio of games,” said King Studio head Mihai Sfrijan. “AlphaBetty Saga does just that and is our first word-based ‘Saga’ gameoffering players a brand new strategic thinking experience with a rich story adventure at its core.”

The game will launch with 5 Different Game Modes: Scoring (Simply create words and achieve the target score), Cheese Falls (Bring cheese chunks down to the bottom of the game board to collect them), Bubble Pop (Include a letter inside a bubble in a word to make it pop), Word Frenzy (Create and collect the target number of words containing the target number of letters) and Cheddar Spreader (Spread the cheese under multiple tiles on the board)

The game is filled with collectable artefacts that hold unique abilities and can help players beat difficult levels along the way.

AlphaBetty Saga is available to play for free now on iOS, Google Android and Facebook.
