What’s the best selling Kris Steele Xbox Live Indie Game (XBLIG)? Is it Hypership Out Of Control? “Abduction Action!”? “Nasty”? “Hypership Still Out of Control”? “VolChaos”?
Nope. It’s “Trivia Or Die”. And this game finally answers the question of how do you make a game about trivia questions exciting? By killing those who lose, of course.
I’m a sucker for trivia games at the best of times, and like to buy a new one every couple of hundred days or so. At least that way you can keep the questions fresh when you become too familiar with your existing stock, and at 80 Microsoft Points per it’s not financially onerous. I’ll go back to mourning the loss of 1 Vs. 100 now.
Here’s what the developer (Kris Steele) has to say about the game:
“For the last 1,000 years, the Earth’s greatest trivia champions have gathered at a secret location to battle for the fate of humanity itself. Can you triumph and save the world or will your defeat lead to the untimely demise of all mankind? Trivia or Die features 1- 4 player action, three levels of computer AI, and a snarky host that will insult you at every opportunity.”
