‘Avengers Initiative’ Mobile Game, Now With More Captain America!

All the way back in September, Marvel and Wideload Games released a funky little game for mobile devices (well, iOS and Android anyways) called Avengers Initiative. We reviewed the title just a day after it released, and while it definitely had (and continues to have) room for improvements, it was a decent title at the right price.

Upon release, Wideload stated that subsequent DLC packs would be released for the game, furthering the plot while adding Avengers and other goodies. Today the first pack is available, all for the low, low price of free (as long as you’ve already purchased the game of course).

Captain America is now a playable character, but he isn’t the only thing that’s new. The change log points out plenty of other additions too:

– Optimized for iPad mini and iPad Retina display
– Added support for iPhone 5 resolution
– Captain America now fully playable, improve your skills with Captain America’s agile takedowns and tactical shield attacks
– Fight aboard the Hydracarrier against Taskmaster and the forces of Hydra.
– Go up against Hydra War Drones, Skrull, Hydra Brutes, and Taskmaster himself.
– Added new Hulk costumes, including Mr. Fixit
– Added new Captain America costumes, including WWII Super Soldier
– Added Russian language support
– Unlock new Marvel XP audio logs including Mockingbird’s undercover mission and new Captain America Awards
– Fixed Verizon iPhone 4 framerate bug
– General bug fixes

Sadly, the one feature that I really wanted is still strangely absent: iCloud Support. $6.99 puts the game on both my iPad and iPhone, but SAVES DON’T TRANSFER!

In any case, the update is free for existing players. If you’re interested in the game, you can try the lite version for free, and then get the paid version if you deem it worthy!

Played the Captain America update? What do you think?
