The War of Genesis vs Astonishia Story: The hottest thinkable crossover in Korean games is... a mobile game, developed by Sonnori's (still) mobile division Ironnos.

Sonnori had announced plans for a follow-up to their debut hit as early as 2001, but nothing came out of it until much later, after the team was divided into three companies. Ironnos' first release after separating from their mother company is probably one of Korea's longest awaited sequels after Starcraft 2. Originally made for the gaming cellphone standard GXG and only available in Korea, Ironnos eventually brought the game to the PSP, and to the world, together with Ntreev.

Known in the west as Crimson Gem Saga (and in Japan as Garnet Chronicle), the game itself is closer to a typical JRPG, the PSP version adds more content, more graphics, more bosses, and an automap. The combat also got changed, from a typical ATB system to an "ordinary" turn-based one23. In 2010 the PSP version als ogot ported for iPhone.

While Tecmo is responsible for the Wii episodes of Pangya (known in the west as Super Swing Golf, Ntreev took care of the PSP port themselves.

Based on a dark and edgy manhwa series of the same name, Ntreev's Ghost Face looks like it could make a truly great sidescroller, if it wasn't held back by mobile phone controls and the fact that one one outside Korea can ever play it.

More mobile games by Ntreev. DJMax Mobile is a version of Pentavision's rhythm game series, PSY Handae Matgo a goofy hwatu ("flower card" game) simulation, Exodus a casual adventure puzzle.

Exodus

Clickr is a neat little flash puzzle game developed by a small team at Ntreev with an "indie game spirit." The concept is genre-typically simple: Just click to let same-colored connected blocks disappear. Several obstacles and additional elements make it more challenging than it looks like, though.

In Ntreev's most girlish game yet everything revolves around keeping horses. Players can take part in races, take on various jobs and even have their hourses mate for breeding. Microtransactions allow to turn a horse into a Pegasus for a limited time. It should be save to assume that Alicia beats the crap out of Barbie Horse Adventures.

It was about time one of the most iconic Korean RPG franchises would get its own MMO outing. Closed beta tests have been held during 2011, and it remained surprisingly true to the series' roots, with old-school turn based combat very atypical for an MMORPG24. It even featured good old Passman. Afterwards, the game went into a further development stage.

Ntreev and Ironnos (with additional funding from Daewon Entertainment) are currently working together on a multiplayer brawler/rpg mix based on the world's favourite sentai show. It remains to be seen whether the franchise still got enough pull to make this an instant hit.
