In an odd yet awesome turn of events, Evodant Interective has finished work on what they are calling "a new augmented reality gaming experience." The force behind this experience is driven by the mobile game, Clandestine: Anomaly, which if you recall was the prototype was a finalist for Best Augmented World Mobile App in the Auggie Awards!
Tired of all those Dragonites locking down the gyms near you? Boot up one of these apps instead…
Clandestine: Anomaly packs some neat ideas that never really come together to produce something worthwhile. Its implementation of AR and GPS gameplay sounds exciting, and can even produce a few moments of goodhearted fun, but it all falls apart in the end thanks to its complicated interface and practical deficiencies.
Sounds like an interesting title that could have been greatly improved with the addition of a good tutorial, and perhaps more options in the settings menu.
Clandestine Anomaly is the type of game that on paper sounds incredibly innovative and this is a big part of why it caught my attention. The game takes the player’s real GPS location and builds a world around it. While this is largely a superficial gimmick, it’s still undeniably cool to be defending the streets of Toronto from aliens.
I always thought these games were kinda gimmicky, but I guess thats all of AR Gaming isn't it.
Yeah I think so too, but gonna get this to test it out. Should be pretty cool.
