Fusing together the worlds of comic books and games, Endeavor Bros. and Monkube have launched The Adventures of Retrobot, a new iPhone game featuring an animated graphic novel style.
Endeavor Bros. and Monkube have announced (PDF link) the release of The Adventures of Retrobot, a new game for the iPhone and iPod touch which follows the story of a DIY robot built as a gaming buddy who’s out to save his maker from the evil robots who’ve taken over the world.
Throughout his adventure, Retrobot acquires new weapons and power-ups to fight off the never ending onslaught of robot overlords. The Adventures of Retrobot takes the player through numerous worlds, tackles challenging level bosses and tells a full comic book worth of story though animated story sequences.
“The Adventures of Retrobot takes two of the greatest entertainment categories -- comics and games -- and fuses them together for a hugely addictive and fun experience,” said Adam Heat, Co-Founder of Endeavor Bros. “We’ve spent countless hours bringing together what we believe could be a game changer in the mobile gaming space.”
“For us, game development has always been about finding a game genre that is under-used in today’s tidal wave of mobile games," explains Sven Van de Perre, Creative Director at Monkube. "And then trying to create a game that raises the bar."
The Adventures of Retrobot is now available from the App Store for a limited-time price of 99 cents (regularly $2.99) and requires an iPhone 4 or fourth-gen iPod touch or higher running at least iOS 4.2.
