Archetype, a first person shooter for the iPhone that can be compared to Eliminate from ngmoco, has signed up a staggering 160.000 new gamers in the first week of its release on the App Store.
Those 160.000 gamers have generated 320.000 plays in total, which is two sessions per gamer. The game has also been awarded as game of the week.
“We are beyond thrilled to see how Archetype in the short amount of time it’s been officially released has found such an amazing and enthusiastic fan base, along with the high praise from the editorial community,” said Dane Baker, Lead Producer at Villain. “This has been an amazing project for all involved, and speaks to our love for games, so we’re taking this warm reception to further fuel our passion to work even harder on future updates, offerings and new game features to support our community of iPwnage fanatics.”
