KarmaStar is a 2009 mobile video game from Arkane Studios.
KarmaStar is a strategy game that represents an entire life in just eight turns, as players control a spaceman who must acquire resources — love, money, family, intelligence, and health — while competing against rivals to gain the most points before the lifecycle ends. Players can gain resources or challenge others in turn-based resource battles which rely on virtual dice rolls, where a higher roll wins. Special abilities like moxie (extra battle rolls), alchemy, and corruption can help or hinder progress. Players can attack rivals or share resources strategically. Players can compete against human opponents for a more engaging experience.[1]
Development
The game was first teased in September 2008 during Harvey Smith's (the game's developer) 2008 Austin GDC GameCareerGuide session.[2] The title was officially announced in March 2009 with Majesco Entertainment being the game's publisher.[3][4] It was released on March 25, 2009.[5]
