Risk vs Compliance
Read full descriptionHide full description
Risk vs Compliance is a hero tower defense game set in an office world, where the risk department and the compliance department finally settle the score. Pick a side. Risk builds spreadsheet models, stress tests and drones. Compliance answers with stamp towers, rulebooks and catapults. Both teams want the same thing: to take down the other side's HQ. HOW TO PLAY • Steer your hero with one thumb and aim with the other. The power shot has aim assist. • Build barracks, towers and factories in your zone. You pay – the whole team benefits. • Run into the quiz balls and answer correctly for a cash bonus that grows with every correct answer in a row. The questions cover music, TV, film, sports, games and office life. • Expand your HQ with a shield wall, corner cannons, an extension and a rotating superlaser on the roof. • After fifteen minutes the Audit arrives, and before long the match ends, one way or another. PLAY WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES • Up to ten players, five against five. Empty slots can be filled with bots. • Online with a lobby code, or on the same Wi-Fi without internet. • Quick match against bots when you want to play alone, at three difficulty levels. • No accounts, no login, no ads and no in-app purchases. • Play on iPhone or iPad. On iPad it works just as well in landscape as in portrait. FOUR MAPS The car deck of the night ferry, the open-plan office on floor 4, the vendor's server hall and the bank vault after closing time – with spinning warning lights, cold air rising from the floor and laser alarms in front of the gold. THE QUARTERLY REPORT After the match, the graph shows how staff, revenue, assets and the HQ developed, and exactly when the tide turned. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The game is available in English and Swedish.
