I got one, T-O-Y-L-E-T. I’m awesome at spelling games!
NimbleBit is one of the few mobile developers who have achieved AAA status, making anything they announce an automatic news story. Unfortunately for us, most of their offerings are light simulations that are offered for free with a built-in paywall. They’re not bad games, hell, I’ve sunk more time than I’m happy admitting into Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes, but they all eventually require you to sit and wait or buy some in-game “bux”.
Next week, they’re breaking from their simulation background and bringing a head-to-head word game to the App Store which looks to be a bit like Letterpress, and a bit like Kindo. In the game, you’re trying to capture your opponent’s capital and, to do so, you spell words which nets you more territory and inches you closer to victory. It looks really good but, this being NimbleBit, it’s also going to be free to download. We’ll have to wait and see what kind of IAP scheme they have going on in this one.
Or maybe we don’t have to wait. Capitals was soft launched in Canada today, so anyone north of the border can download it and give it a shot. If you manage to snag it, let us know how high the paywall is.
Capitals will release world-wide next week, on the 21st. Trailer after the break.
