By Our friends at Subatomic Studios have just announced that the wildly popular Fieldrunners would finally be getting a sequel. It’s called Fieldrunners 2, natch, and it’s headed straight to Android at some point in April. Some lucky users won’t have to wait that long, though, because Subatomic is accepting applications to participate in a closed beta right now.
The game, already available on iOS, is considered one of the best in the growing tower defense genre, and it features over 20 hours worth of new levels ranging from desert-themed war grounds to lava-filled volcanoes. Some new weapons include a tower that launches killer bees, air strikes, mines, and more. They can tell you about all of the new game’s features better than I can, though, so take a look:
• Pint sized invaders seeking revenge!
• A tower that launches bee hives!
• Tons of levels in a 20+ hour campaign!
• Revolutionary AI – each enemy creates a dynamic, realistic path through the battlefield!
• Gorgeous, hand painted, 2D graphics by award winning artists!
• 20 unique, upgradeable weapons!
• Custom load-outs let you pick the perfect weapons for each battle!
• Air strikes, mines and powerful items so you can strike with the precision of a surgeon!
• Time Trial, Sudden Death and Puzzle maps bring all new challenges to tower defense!
• Trenches, bridges and tunnels add new dimensions to gameplay!
• Collect all the Elite enemies to become the ultimate tower defense champion!
• A tower that turns enemies into barnyard animals!
Head to this link if you want to try it before it officially lands. Once you’ve applied, Subatomic says you can expect to get everything you need to get started within a few days. We’re not sure how much the full game is supposed to cost just yet, but the iPhone and iPod Touch versions cost $.99, while the iPad version is a whopping $5.
I should note that companies sometimes price differently depending on platform — for instance, much of Rovio’s stuff was free coming over to Android while iOS users had to pay up. We’re not saying the same will happen here, but keep it in mind before you start writing it off. Read on for full press details.
