RISK: The Official Game, now on iPhone & iPod touch, is to follow world dominion with the original game of strategic conquest, with up to 6 multiplayer opponents. The Game is currently available on the App store for $4.99. The iPhone version features multiplayer, taking multiple players by sharing one handheld or take on up to four through WiFi or Bluetooth and a more simple, streamlined UI and less cartoony presentation than the recent Xbox Live Arcade release, Risk: Factions.
5 Must-Knows about the game:
- Multiple Battle Modes:
Play against strong AI opponents, each featuring exclusive strategies and even emotional responses. Escalate the action in two Multiplayer modes. Challenge up to 4 of your greatest rivals via WiFi or Bluetooth, or up to 6 with Pass ‘n Play.
- Achieve Honor:
Attack enemy forces, and transfer and strengthen your armies in phased-based warfare. Track the progress and relative strength of opponents with easily accessible in-game statistics. Earn an extensive list of achievements as your armies dominate territory after territory.
- Play The Fun Offline:
Online play seems to be missing. Although I don’t think you require that feature much, nor you want to connect anyone in realtime over the internet, but a slower-paced, push-notification-based style of play could have even better.
- Inspiring Background Sound:
Feel the march backed by an inspiring soundtrack. Stirring sound effects and morale-boosting music enhance the feelings of struggle, bringing in more realism.
- Explosive New Way:
The updated look and feel also captures the powerful tradition of the authentic RISK experience. Strategize over the world map, attack with a “roll” of the dice, and fortify your advances with the same rule set as the classic board game.
