Independent mobile publisher Villain LLC announced today that its online multiplayer first-person shooter Archetype sold 160,000 units in its first week of release, and is currently featured as Apple’s iPhone App of the Week.
Since Archetype’s launch on July 6th, players have engaged in over 320,000 sessions of the game’s “iPwnage” arena deathmatch mode. Villain notes that over 2 million in-game kills were logged in the game’s launch week, with an average of 20,000 additional kills arriving hourly.
Archetype is developed by the San Francisco-based MunkyFun, an independent studio staffed by a core team of LucasArts veterans.
“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.”
