Kotaku readers might be familiar with Defiant Development, the Australian studio working on Warco, the first person “shooter” where a video camera is your only weapon. Before Warco, Defiant pushed out a casual mobile title called Rocket Bunnies, which saw moderate success, but I doubt it prepared the studio for the heights its latest game, Ski Safari, has reached in Apple’s App Store.
Warco is the most captivating first-person shooter concept of the year. That’s because Warco arms its players with nothing more than a flak jacket and a video camera, capturing the violence of Middle Eastern and African conflicts as a combat reporter.
