Overview

 Archetype is a downloadable game exclusive to the iPhone and iPod Touch developed by Villian. It was released on July 6th, 2010 for $0.99 and has received much acclaim for its purportedly control system that is superior to similar games such as N.O.V.A. The game is a generic first-person shooter that features multiplayer only gameplay in the form of 5-on-5 deathmatches. 
 

Gameplay

 Archetype is a basic Quake-style deathmatch shooter that involves 10 players with 6 different weapons: Battle Rifle, Precision Rifle, Rapid-Fire AutoMag, Shotgun, Missile Launcher and Melee Axe. Players compete in a team deathmatch mode and destroy each other using an auto-aim system that allows the player to merely control movement and firing. 
 
The game also features a persistent leveling system that allows players to achieve new ranks along with in-depth stat tracking that involves achievements as well as wins and losses.
