The wait is finally over for Stan Lee fans around the world. Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment launched Verticus, Lee’s first game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, now available on the App Store.
Developed by Dallas-based Controlled Chaos Media, Verticus puts players in control of a superhero that must save the Earth from destruction at the hands of an evil alien race known as the Obliterators. Equipped with a high-tech jumpsuit, players must free fall through space while avoiding treacherous obstacles and alien attacks. Along the way players can collect special materials to enhance their suits and weaponry with dozens of upgrades.
“Joining forces with the Moonshark team to create our first superhero app has been a tremendous pleasure,” said Stan Lee, Founder, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, POW! Entertainment, Inc. “Once you have a chance to play Verticus, you’ll be completely addicted to the game. It’s got a terrific storyline and, of course, an engaging narration by yours truly.”
“No one else could have brought the sheer creativity and voiceover talents that Stan brings,” said Matt Kozlov, CEO of Moonshark. “Working closely with him, we’ve had the opportunity to create an authenticStan Lee superhero experience, storyline and character, and we can’t wait for the world to help Verticusdefeat the Obliterators.”
