Survival Adventure The Island Castaway Released Today on App Store
An involving adventure with over 200 quests and intriguing storyline puts you right in the thick of things.
San Francisco, California – March 15, in the year of our
Lord 2012 – Lounging on an empty beach floored by soft,
white sand to find only your own footprints trailing behind you:
sounds like a dream vacation ... unless you're stuck on an
uncharted island in the middle of nowhere and must find a way to
survive. The Island: Castaway, the latest action-adventure from
G5 Entertainment throws you in the middle of an unknown and
mysterious island after an ocean liner sinks in a storm. Owners
of iOS devices today will finally be able to experience this
gripping adventure for themselves. In the game they will play as
Tom Allison, one of the survivors of the crash and the leader of
the few to escape the wreckage. Your task will be to help Tom
guide the group through the challenges and hopefully to get them
home.
Developed originally for PC by Awem Studio, The Island: Castaway
has hit all casual game charts and engaged players as well as
game critics with its unusual storyline and adventurous
gameplay. Unlike many other simulation games, The Island:
Castaway is much more than a sim which involves guiding and
caring about the people who got trapped on the island. The
adventure features over 200 quests and intriguing and mysterious
storyline that will enthrall you from the start. You will begin
with simple tasks such as starting a fire and putting up a tent.
Then you will learn to fish, catch crabs, hunt and craft weapons
on advanced levels of the game. You will also learn to work with
and survive among the natives of this wild land and finally
uncover a great mystery that lies buried deep in the history of
the place.
You will have many tasks and quests to complete for your band of
survivors and the tribesmen, including finding food and spices,
catching crabs and snakes or hunt boars. You will cover a lot of
ground, so you'll need to watch your hero's energy level and
ensure he gets plenty of fuel. You will learn to cook various
foods and special potion so that you can complete several tasks
or else face death.
During the game you will get a chance to collect 15 different
trophies. Each can be upgraded from bronze to silver and to
gold, giving you a total 45 trophies to earn. Moreover, the
island hides twelve statues. Finding all of them is crucial for
completing the game. Along with its first-rate artwork and
intriguing plot, the polished game has any tasks waiting for
you.
"According to analysts, video games are expected to earn $115
billion in 2015 and that growth is in part driven by the demand
for games for smartphones and tablets. The Island: Castaway is a
terrific game and a perfect example of what gamers are craving
on mobile platforms," said Marta Miernik, Head of Communications
of G5 Entertainment. "The game delves deep into the adventure
genre while remaining casual and easy to play. Players will find
themselves challenged and entertained for hours by this
beautiful adventure. It's an absolute must have."
