Outnumbered presents an interesting twist on iPhone multiplayer

Veiled Games sent articulate of their new game, Outnumbered [iTunes link], on the iPhone app store, and it seems intriguingly different. It's basically a multiplayer arcade game, which pits digit iPhones or iPod touches against apiece other via Bluetooth. One contestant takes over the persona of the O.N.E., a signifier mechanism brachiate with weapons and special attacks, and the other contestant controls M.A.N.Y., which is a top-down analyse where you crapper curb waves of offensive units and robots. The digit players duke it out, with the first controlling his mechanism around the arena, and the ordinal overseeing the armies and buying new units with composed currency. When the single mechanism is dead, players alter sides, and whoever earns the most points patch conflict (for attacking, moving, or a few other criteria) wins the game.

Interesting idea. Of course, you'll need a someone with their possess iPhone or iPod touch to do all of this, and you'll have to be in the same room, as the connection exclusive entireness (so far) over Bluetooth. If you're ease confused as to how it all works, there's a pleasant tutorial video up (although that vocalise gets to be a bit much after a while) that explains how the mettlesome goes down. Most of the big iPhone titles we've seen this year mostly focus on single contestant gaming, so it's modify to see an endeavor same this to try something that more than digit contestant crapper share. Outnumbered is available in the App Store [iTunes Link] correct now for 99 cents, and a lite edition (that will earmark a ordinal contestant to endeavor along, though digit of the digit players staleness possess the full version) is due discover soon.
