Big Head Games announced that in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the original Terminator movie, they have partnered with Dark Horse Comics to release a "heart-pounding, shoot everything, homage to the movie that started it all".
The game is a top-down action shooter that appears similar in gameplay to iDracula but contains both Story and Endless modes. Features include:
- Bigger and badder weapons from Gatling guns to Bazookas
- Two extreme game modes for a lasting game experience
- In Quick mode, rescue fallen soldiers
- In Story mode, play as Kyle Reese taking on challenging missions.
- T-800s and Hunter Killer Tanks from the original movie along with an array of new foes
- Multiple control modes and auto targeting options to match gameplay to every skill level.
- Pounding soundtrack and sfx, play this game with headphones for a film like experience.
- Two parts, look out for an imminent update taking you below ground to take on the machines in their home ground.
The game has already been submitted to the App Store and will be on sale for $0.99 during its first 72 hours.
Thanks Zandog / iPhoneOtaku
at least they have the idracula Dpad
If the initial reviews are good, i would definitely pick this up, especially at the price point. Good stuff.
Anybody remember Smash TV for the SNES? This is an awful lot like it (which is awesome cause I loved that game as a kid!)
This looks awesome.
How long does the app store review process take?
This looks more polished than idrakula
That auto zooming in and out looks very annoying… gl with it.
This will be an impulse buy for me.
Great! Another iDracula and I like the video a lot, for 0,99 a sure buy for me
so unoriginal.. sigh
unoriginal? yes. Cooler to shoot terminators than wolves and monsters? Hell yes!
This looks sick! Can never have too many idracula games. I'd pay a buck just for the music and sound effects. LMAO at how these indestructible terminators sort of poof into a cloud of smoke after a couple shots.
Can't go wrong at 99cents.
Seriously? One shot kills for a terminator? Someone need to go back and watch the movies.
And not using Brad Fiedel’s iconic score is a missed opportunity. It doesn’t feel like Terminator without it.
Do you honestly think that app store prices can support licensing a major song for a game?
The effects don't look so good. Why do the terminators just suddenly disappear in a cloud of smoke? That's weird. Video also didn't show the variety of enemies you can encounter, and the different available weapons. Looks quite repetitive for me. One iDracula seems enough in my opinion. Even with an enticing 99 cent price, I'm most likely gonna take a pass on this one.
please go rework the animation for the spin… why is there only 12 spots? it looks so jerky???? why can't it be smooth like idracula… your aim should not click it should spin 360 degrees smoothly. add some more intermediary frames.. 36 frames, 10 degree movements… or something more than the 12 I see now.. it looks so JERKY! this small thing makes me cringe..
Looks like someone decided to advance the iDracula formula and have levels instead of arenas. Can't wait till someone brings full fledged winding labyrinthian levels like God of War or Diablo with the iDracula controls and RPG leveling and bosses like Underworld or Zenonia.
Oh well at 99 cents this will tide me over until iDracula 2 or its equivalent comes out.
I'm still waiting for Legion of Amon too.
This looks interesting though and the story levels will be even more fun than just random arena levels like in iDracula and Apocalypse.
I agree
yawn… boring.
I'm going to download this one for sure, as i really liked the last one. Does anyone know the release date?
THE YEAR 2025 A.D. ………..J/K HEY THIS GAME LOOKS SIMILAR TO THAT ZOMBIE GAME WERE YOU GET WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WEAPONS INCLUDING A LASER BLASTER, VULCAN, JACKHAMMER….sound familiar???? IT'S ON ONE OF THOSE MINICLIP WEBSITES…YOU HAVE TO PROTECT A BUNKER AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, AND THE HORDES OF ZOMBIES COME AND GET YOU…..I WISH TERMINATOR PART 3 WAS NEVER MADE. INSTEAD, ENCINO MAN VS. CHARLES IN CHARGE MOVIE WOULD OF BEEN BETTER…
