‘Ghosts Attack’ the iPhone

In the 1960’s thirteen scientists were accidentally transported to a parallel dimension after a failed teleportation experiment, never to be seen again. The company that employed these scientists is now dispatching remote controlled Rovers to explore and conquer the new empire. Yeah, that didn’t really happen but Tarver Games’ new paranormal iPhone game, Ghosts Attack, wants you to pretend that it did.

The game uses world map and GPS coordinates to create new game levels that allows players to enter an alternate reality gaming experience (ARG) that corresponds to the real world. Basically, you get to tool around in a Rover while fighting ghosts, which sounds ok to me. There’s even an in-game guide named Karl who helps you untangle the mysteries surrounding the bizarre events.

“Ghosts Attack is unlike anything we’ve seen in the App Store to date. It is unique in three key aspects – design, story and interaction- all of which become clear as soon as you start playing the game. Ghosts Attack appeals to both the casual gamer, who will appreciate the quick shooter action; and the more hard core gamer, who wants strategy, thrilling gameplay and a reason to stay engaged,” mentioned Chris Cross, co-founder and president of Tarver Games.

“The Ghosts Attack story is much like a TV channel for your iPhone or iPod Touch, and it’s up to the player to decide what they want to do. Players can expect constant delivery of new content, ranging from in-game updates to new episodes that unravel the mystery of the Torgan 13, each with new missions, content and surprises,” added Quinn Banks, CEO and co-founder of Tarver Games.

You can get all 17 missions, 5 weapons and 5 Rover upgrades for only $4.99 from the Apple App store. Check out the trailer for the game below and let me know if this is a game you think we all need to have.
