2K and Firaxis have launched a spooky turn-based strategy game, Haunted Hollow, where players build a mansion and summon monsters in order to control an unsuspecting town. Players are able to upgrade their team of monsters with skills, powers, and special enhancements, all while enjoying single player or multiplayer through Game Center.
“As Firaxis explores the potential of the mobile platform, our teams remain committed to creating content that is fun, innovative, and true to our core,” said Steve Martin, president and studio head at Firaxis Games. “Haunted Hollow represents the heart of the Firaxis studio in providing an in-depth strategy experience that speaks to our core fan base, while simultaneously appealing to a broader audience with its casual graphics and eclectic gameplay features.”
There is a new turn-based strategy game landing on iOS devices next week. 2K and Firaxis Games announces Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol, a strategic free-to-play World War I title that revolves around air-combat scenarios throughout more than 120 missions. Players select from 30 available vintage WWI aircraft and will build a team of Ace pilots that offer their own unique skills. Pocket Gamer notes that players gain access to equipment upgrades and can unlock pro maneuvers like rolls, loops, and slips for their pilots.
Besides single player mode, there is two-player hot-pad or asynchronous multiplayer modes through Game Center. Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol is designed and programmed by the designer himself, Sid Meier, and players can look for it next week on May 9th.
Firaxis is known for its hardcore strategy titles, including Sid Meier’s games, but Haunted Hollow will be friendly for kids and casual audiences. Two players take turns (on the same device or via Game Center) trying to take over a neighborhood by summoning scary monsters to scare the townsfolk. They eventually form angry mobs and will try to burn the conquered houses and monsters. Expect this one in the coming months.
