Outnumbered presents an interesting twist on iPhone multiplayer

Veiled Games dispatched word of their newborn game, Outnumbered [iTunes link], on the iPhone app store, and it seems intriguingly different. It's essentially a multiplayer construction game, which pits digit iPhones or iPod touches against apiece another via Bluetooth. One contestant takes over the role of the O.N.E., a signifier mechanism armed with weapons and primary attacks, and the another contestant controls M.A.N.Y., which is a top-down view where you crapper control waves of offensive units and robots. The digit players duke it out, with the prototypal controlling his mechanism around the arena, and the ordinal overseeing the armies and purchase newborn units with composed currency. When the azygos mechanism is dead, players switch sides, and whoever earns the most points while conflict (for attacking, moving, or a some another criteria) wins the game.

Interesting idea. Of course, you'll requirement a friend with their own iPhone or iPod contact to do all of this, and you'll hit to be in the aforementioned room, as the connection exclusive entireness (so far) over Bluetooth. If you're ease confused as to how it all works, there's a nice tutorial video up (although that vocalise gets to be a taste much after a while) that explains how the mettlesome goes down. Most of the bounteous iPhone titles we've seen this assemblage mostly pore on azygos contestant gaming, so it's modify to wager an endeavor same this to essay something that more than digit contestant crapper share. Outnumbered is acquirable in the App Store [iTunes Link] right now for 99 cents, and a lite edition (that module earmark a ordinal contestant to play along, though digit of the digit players staleness own the flooded version) is cod discover soon.
