Pandemica App Review

February 25th, 2010 4 Comments

Pandemica is a new augmented reality shooter from XMG Studio Inc. The game offers both single player and multiplayer modes and includes various enemies and weapon power-ups. Once you start the game you are shown instructions explaining that you should hold the device upright and tap the screen to shoot your weapon. The enemies instantly start coming from the horizon, and generally in front of you so you don’t wind up spinning in circles. As you progress you unlock better weapons and the missions get harder. The game also includes OpenFeint integration with achievements. Multi-player mode is where there game really shines as you get to battle the enemy aliens with another friend. This game is very polished and looks great and plays great. We feel that it is well worth the $1.99 it is currently priced at in the App Store.

If you are a 3GS user this is an App you want – to show off the unique capabilities of this device.

Pandemica is XMG Studio’s 1st generation AR game (wait until you see what we have next) and an intense, arcade-style shooter. There are 3 single-player game modes (Mission, Endless, and Time Attack) and two multiplayer modes (maximizing either points or cooperating on defence against the alien virus).

Pandemica transforms your device into a sub-field bio-scanner that can see the invisible alien organisms that are all around you. Your mission is to eliminate the enemy before they get you — and you get the goo. Unlock weapons such as missiles, BEP (Bio-Electric Pulse), and the BFB (Boson Field Bomb) to complement your trusty standard-issue laser.
