We cannot condone bouncing of the seventh variety.
Good news and bad news, chums. Bad news: The Rapture is here. Worse news! If you’re reading this, you didn’t get beamed up. The good news, I think, is that the sudden decrease in population means that real estate prices should be falling and we can all move into bigger houses. Let the chosen ones enjoy heaven — I’ll be enjoying my 3-bedroom flat in Clerkenwell.
This fateful event was brought about the release of Rapture World Conquest onto the App Store, a Populous-meets-Galcon RTS we’ve been looking forward to all summer. You’re the patron deity of a band of people on a 3D globe, providing divine air support for their conquests of all the other peoples of the world.
I liked Rapture quite a bit when I played a preview build a couple of weeks ago, though the sight of in-app purchases gave me a moment’s pause, as I noted in that post. Developer Dan Collier wrote in to assuage my worries after I published that. “Just wanted to reassure you that it’s not going to be F2P,” said Dan. “There’s a few non-intrusive IAPs to let people buy extra gold if they wish.” So there’s some of those sigh-inducing plus signs in-game, but the devs consider them entirely optional.
Rapture World Conquest is $3 on the App Store. We’ll have it reviewed in the next week or so. Trailer follows.
