Web browser-based games developed using Flash are very popular, as are social media applications. Now WebWars hopes to find success by bringing both together in a new LRG (layered reality game) called Web Lords. The game site is accepting sign-ups for the upcoming beta test for the game.

From the press release:

“WebLords is quite possibly the ultimate online strategy/role-playing game as it can be played anywhere, anytime with an Internet connection and an easy to download browser plug-in,” said Cindy Armstrong, CEO, WebWars, LLC. “Whether at home, in the office or on the road, layered reality games add new, exciting forms of entertainment to surfing the Web. We look forward to offering WebLords to players for the first time with the beta test and listening to their feedback as the game gets closer to launch.”

In WebLords, players game across a parallel universe associated with any website of their choosing. By developing their kingdoms, they can rule their lands and destroy their enemies. Key features of WebLords include:

* Players earn experience and loot from battles, which aids in growing their personal castles and unlocking new battle-ready units as the game progresses.
* Each WebLord is fully customizable, allowing gamers to create and modify their personal character, armies and battle strategies.
* Multi-layered, time-controlled battles provide an entertaining way to multi-task while on the Web.
* With WebWars cash – the currency used to buy items in all WebWars games – players can further customize their experience with premium items from the Cash Shop.

WebLords also features an integrated social community with friend’s lists and status updates. With in-game results and rankings and a versatile toolbar, players will always have access to their score and possible bragging rights.

Here is the note about the beta test sign-ups:

WebWars encourages aspiring WebLords to sign up for their chance to be among the first to capture key sites across the Web. Interested beta testers can register at http://www.web-lords.com. Created in Flash, WebLords can be installed in Internet Explorer or Firefox through a simple toolbar download; additional browser integration will be available soon.
