Warner Bros has released their online multiplayer Watchmen: Justice is Coming game [App Store]. The $0.99 release is described as an “advanced release edition" with promises for “more updates to come".
WATCHMEN: Justice is Coming is an online role playing game developed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch and inspired by the highly anticipated WATCHMEN film.
Explore the incredible Watchmen universe in the year 1975, where crime is rampant and average citizens take matters into their own hands. Create your own unique character and begin adventuring through the dark and gritty streets of New York City while following an original Watchmen inspired storyline through a real-time 3D world. Discover hidden artifacts and level up your character by completing story objectives, defeating criminals and challenging other players to battle in a dynamic strategy fighting game.
Our forum users have had mixed experiences with the game. Those who have been able to log-on seem to be happy with the game:
You start out by creating a new character with a name, gender, skin color, and personality type(chosen by looking at an ink blot and choosing "what you see"). You’re then thrown into a 3D "New York" where the story is set for you.
The load time for this true MMO is great for an iPod/Phone. Like others have said, you touch the screen to where you want to go in the fully 3D environment. You collect costume parts, follow a story, fight RL players and in game bots. All of this gains you EXP so you can level up. When you level, you gain ability points when you level that can go into health, attack, defense, and movement.
However, some users have been unable to login — instead, seeing server-timeouts and crashes. In fact, we’ve also seen some timeouts and crashes, so we can’t really recommend paying for this title yet.
