Pocket Kingdom: Own the World is a mobile Massively Multiplayer Online Game for the Nokia N-Gage, by Sega, released November 22, 2004.[1] The main core of the game is based on an earlier design used in the popular Sega Saturn title, Dragon Force. Pocket Kingdom had received overall positive reviews, averaging an overall review score of 72% on GameRankings.[2]
The theme is somewhat atypical for a video game, since it makes fun of the usual conventions of MMORPGs: here, every character knows he/she/it is in a video game, talks in leet-speak, and even the plot itself is about replacing three griefers who were banned from a high score table.
The game features both online (using the N-Gage Arena) and offline modes; both are similar, but in the online mode you can find other players and talk to or attack them – or be attacked by them. The crafting system is extensive – according to the authors, there are more than 50,000 possible object combinations.
Most of the game consists of buying units, equipping them, setting battle tactics, and sending them into battles. With experience, and using crafted "emblems", characters can be upgraded into more powerful and varied classes.
