14 DAY TRIAL // Space Ape Games, makers of Samurai Siege, one of the most popular iOS games with more than 10 million downloads in just over a year, have just announced their second title for Apple's mobile platform.
Dubbed Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin, the new game builds on Samurai Siege's strategy gaming roots, but delivers an even more intense gameplay experience.
The game also benefits from the writing of Rhianna Pratchett who also worked on AAA titles like Overlord and Tomb Raider. Space Ape Games also enlisted the help of composer Richard Jacques whose work is known from games like Sonic 3D, Headhunter and Mass Effect.
“Working with Space Ape on Rival Kingdoms has opened my eyes to the delightful reality that rich narrative experiences are no longer just the preserve of console and PC games. Mobile games are attracting a new audience who expect to be able to enjoy a few minutes or a few hours in a more interesting and multi-dimensional world.
“As a writer, it’s a fascinating challenge – like the graphics, sound and file size, the story needs to be delivered in a tighter, more economical package, but still satisfy the experienced gamer,” says Rhianna Pratchett.
No troop training, just get straight into the fight
Rival Kingdoms plays like an RTS (real-time strategy) MMO and includes intense multiplayer combat and coop guild-based gameplay.
Developers also promise “outstanding” next-generation graphics, along with an addictive “Kingdom Raid” mode that gathers players around the world.
Apart from the multiplayer aspect, Rival Kingdoms also allows players to join single-player campaigns where they can lay waste to the evil forces.
Space Ape Games claims the game offers best in class PvP experience, as well as immersive campaign and epic story.
You can now download Rival Kingdoms: Age of Ruin for iOS for free via App Store. The game should be fully compatible with all devices powered by iOS 8.0 and up.
