NimbleBit’s Tiny Death Star Available Now
Building on the success of Tiny Tower and Tiny Planes, Nimblebit has teamed up with LucasArts and Disney to create the adorable sim game, Tiny Death Star. The title is free and it’s available now.
Tiny Death Star puts players in charge of building their own massive battle station with floors named for familiar Star Wars characters and locations. There are 30 different species, research the Empire’s schemes in underground levels, and capture rebels, including Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
Tiny Death Star is available as a free-to-play title on iOS and Android devices. If you download during the launch window, you’ll get a starting in-game cash bonus.
Our Take
Tiny Tower consumed a lot of my time when I had it on my phone. Nimblebit’s approach to free-to-play has typically been on the softer side with in-game cash flowing regularly. Whether that will remain true in this new partnership is something I’m eager to find out.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
