Step Into The Post-Apocalyptic Xenome Universe On July 8th

Nine Pound Studios have announced that their year-long efforts to bring the open-world post-apocalyptic RPG, Xenome: Episode 1, to the iPhone and iPod touch are about to pay off.  The developers have started a countdown timer on the game's official website and each day it counts down to the release date, Thursday, July 8th, the team will release mob profiles, NPC lore and gameplay videos in order to help you get acquainted with Xenome before its even in your hands.

"It's been an amazing year bringing a true open-world, 3D immersive RPG to life on the iPhone, and we're incredibly excited to announce the upcoming launch of Episode 1" says Steve Tanner, Executive Producer of Nine Pound Studios. "We've started the countdown clock on our website and we'll be releasing mob profiles, NPC lore, and gameplay videos every day as it counts down."

Xenome: Episode 1 is an open-world action/adventure RPG that will have you playing as "The Scientist" who has emerged from a 250 year cryostasis nap in the center of the Silica Flats.  The world is a shattered and torn place filled with over five square miles of dangerous mutated creatures and other freaks of nature that you must ward off.  You will be able to take on over 60 missions while customizing your character with the new abilities and over 500 items that you will be able to earn throughout your adventure. Judging from the screenshots and gameplay trailer, which you can see below, this almost seems to be a Borderlands-like affair, veering far away from the colorful fantasy RPGs that currently dominate the App Store.  Take a look and judge for yourself.
