Villain and Munkyfun Inc. (Shift, Ivory Tiles), have released Archetype, an online FPS built for console style gaming on the iPhone and iPad. “Archetype brings high quality, console-style Pwnage to iPhone and iPod touch first-person shooter fans at an amazing price with absolutely no strings attached,” said Dane Baker, Lead Producer at Villain. “And we’re absolutely thrilled that our game supports the new iPhone 4, as Archetype takes full advantage of the new ‘Retina Display’ technology which results in new owners experiencing an exceptionally phenomenal view of their fragging glory.”

Archetype supports up to ten players per match over WiFi, 3G, and even Edge. Being a console style shooter, the game has a full ranking system, with match pairing services available to prevent beginners from having no chance. With 5 maps, 6 weapons, and 2 grenade types to play with, Archetype looks to keep people entertained for quite some time. Pick it up for $2.99… and of course, there are more screen after the break.

Note from the Editor: Architype is sponsoring 148Apps currently but that had no influence on this article. This is a significant app release for the iPhone/iPod Touch as it represents the latest of very few multiplayer games for the iPhone and even fewer multiplayer FPS games. 148Apps adheres strictly to the principles of editorial and advertising separation as detailed by O.A.T.S.

$2.99

App Store newcomer Villain LLC has launched Archetype ($2.99), a multiplayer-only first-person shooter featuring a variety of gameplay modes, including online five-on-five team deathmatches.

Promising a “high quality console-style FPS experience” for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Archetype encourages the development of a dedicated player base with an experience system that rewards users for online wins and kills.

In an interesting move, Villain LLC positions Archetype as a low-priced alternative to ngmoco’s microtransaction-based Eliminate Pro. Villain promises its players “no tricks and no gimmicks” with its game, with all featured content — including five maps and an arsenal of six weapons — available with a single purchase.

Archetype’s multiplayer modes are playable over Wi-Fi, 3G, and Edge, with all connection types supporting up to ten simultaneous players.
