Update March 29, 2012

"Faction Wars" expansion

Despite the valiant efforts of Dream World heroes to fight against the invading aliens, the assault on the cities continued and a new mothership has appeared above Demon Gates as well. Desperate to end the invasions, scientists created a Time-gate next to the Alien Portal, and sent an elite exploration team to the future to seek assistance. The exploration team arrived in the year 2153 after exiting the portal, and found the universe in the state chaos caused by an inter-galactic war between 4 races.Focused with their own wars, each race faction requested Dream World's help to take down the opposing faction's military threats called "Mobile fortresses". In return, they will provide suitable gears and bonuses that will help our heros to repel the invasion on Dream World.
