Capture the Flag + Huge Update Cometh
We announced today the release of major update with new features and explosive new in-app paid DLC for Archetype (Archetype HD will get the same update soon). The free update for the core game adds full Game Center support with multiplayer matching, Achievements, and Leaderboards, a new online multiplayer story mode, and a new Shotgun Arena among other improvements—and we have a new price of just US$0.99, too.

Here’s an official-type quote from the press release:
“Players asked for more levels, Capture-the-Flag, and Game Center support, and we listened,” said Dane Baker, Lead Producer at Villain. “Gamers can now experience iPwnage with an unfolding story as they explore new maps located throughout the galaxy, wage war to bring home the flag, and take full advantage of Game Center to join matches, earn Achievements, and follow Leaderboards.”
The update’s multiplayer story mode takes players through the game’s original seven levels that comprise Chapter 1 of the Archetype adventure. The unfolding story is unlocked through Campaign online play and unfolds through logs and messages addressed to your combat tag.
After the update is installed, you’ll have the option to purchase the DLC in-app. The DLC delivers Chapter Two of the online multiplayer story mode as well as delivering six new game arenas, doubling the number available in the core game, and the much-requested (see, we did listen!) new Capture the Flag game mode. The upgrade costs US$2.99 in the US App Store, and includes the following new content and features:
» Capture the Flag mode: Battle it out with 10 players to capture the other team’s flag in new open arenas. And when you have the flag, you’re not defenseless—bash your enemies with the new flag weapon.
» Three new Environments, including the game’s first outdoor map:
- Crimson Moon: Outdoor Mining Base of Torim Kafto
- Aqua Lock: Derelict Dam on Thata Prime
- Obsidian Skirmish: Military deep space transport.
» Six new Arenas for Team Deathmatch (TDM) and Capture the Flag (CTF) play:
- Crimson Moon TDM: Open arena perfect for precision sniping
- Crimson Moon CTF: Avoid the deadly lava
- Aqua Lock TDM: Multiple elevations, open areas, and water
- Aqua Lock CTF: Use the waterways to confuse your pursuers
- Obsidian Skirmish: Fight your way through the Obsidian in traditional TDM
- Avarice CTF: Defend your flag in this revisited vertical arena
New players can try out Archetype with the addition of new content, Game Center support, and the story mode for less than a buck. Veteran players can re-experience the game in story mode or add a double-size portion of Archetype goodness with new levels and the new game mode. We hope you like it.
