The Text-Based Techno-Capitalist Game of Conquest Launches April 4th, 2021.
Asterisk Technologies, creator of Android RPGs including Jugg Wars today announced the pre-release of World War IV – Endgames, a dystopian text-based online multiplayer role-playing game.
Unlike most post-war apocalyptic RPG settings, your game consists of choosing a pretty standard profession, like politician or businessman. No Zombie Hunter, or Cannibal Supply-Chain organizer in this dystopia. It’s actually a decent stock market simulator for you doomsday preppers who are looking to gain some incidental financial literacy.
Perhaps my favorite question from the FAQ:
I am Country President. How Do I Create Nuclear Bomb?
How can you not want to become President to “Create Nuclear Bomb?” You mean, I can spend my time in game investing in neo-Nike wasteland boots or trying to win a primary caucus in neo-DIsasterdam? I’m in.
