That teaser trailer is pretty; but I have no idea what the game is like. The website doesn't offer much clarification. So far, I'm guessing match-3 puzzle tower defense hybrid.
Browsing around on the developer's Facebook and found this.. Doesn't tell much about the game-play, but its definitely mummies...
Yeah... my bet is Into the Dead with a twist. I mean the anubis looking guys should be moving faster than the usual zombie, so there should be a twist for that at least.
Spot on! I posted screenshots but Devs decided to remove them, guess they want to build up excitement or pics were WIP. Kudos to triggerhappylabs for having great sense of humor " YOU'VE BEEN CURSED! " xD
This looks interesting and if it's anything like Into the dead, then I'll definitely play this one too. My only complaint would be the name of the game... I mean, you've awakened the mythical ancient Egypt and all you can think of is "Escape from Doom"? This title has no connection to the game.
Yep! Implying there is...no escape from doom. Also, keeping the name as broad as it is now means the developers could possibly branch out and add more "areas", if they wanted to. Hell, if it was called something like "Escape Mythical Ancient Egypt" (hey Primoz), you're stuck with Egypt. With "from Doom" you could come up with a billion and one new ideas. Plus, if that didn't look like "doom" to you in the video...then what the hell does?
Oh noes! You want a name change and you don't want "over-priced IAP themes"...would you like some fries with that? It's pretty clear you and I, my friend, will never see eye to eye.
I never demanded a name change. I'm also sad that all people now accept overpriced IAPs nowadays. Why would you go all sarcastic about such a comment? You need to cool it.
I also initially thought of ID Software; but they certainly don't have a monopoly on that "Doom" word. I just wish I knew with the game was about.
Yo! Its almost Mummy hunting season!! We're so stoked for you to watch the official trailer for Escape From Doom! Check this out! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
