Sentinel 3: Homeworld
iPhone space strategy due on the App Store tomorrow.
25th November 2010, London, UK: Origin8 are pleased to announce that their latest iOS sci fi strategy game, "Sentinel 3: Homeworld", has been approved by Apple and will be released on the iTunes App Store on Friday 26th November. In the third installment of the award winning Sentinel tower defense series, the conflict moves to the alien homeworld where new weaponry, abilities, and the heroic Commander unit will prove crucial to the outcome of the epic interstellar war.
"This is our biggest game to date," said Lead Programmer and Designer Paul Jackman, "And an ambitious step forward for the Sentinel series. Our new mechanics give players even more strategic and tactical choices, plus the ability to customise their resources to support their play style."
"Sentinel fans are constantly asking for more," he continued, "So we've streamlined the content creation system to enable us to deliver. If you compare the number of maps and missions in Sentinel 3 at launch to the first two games, you can see that it's already paid off in a big way."
