Glu's Kim Kardashian: Hollywood launches on iOS and Google Play
In November 2013, Glu Mobile announced an interesting partnership with television personality Kim Kardashian West, which would see Glu Toronto developing a game using the star's voice and likeness. Now, the result of that partnership has been released, as Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is available to download for free on iOS and Android devices.
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood greatly resembles the company's Stardom titles, as players rise through the ranks of fame from E-Lister to major celebrity by completing quests, having photo shoots, finding romance and more to please their fans (and paparazzi).
Gamers begin their road to success in a clothing store, when a chance encounter with the star results in a photo shoot. Things spiral quickly from there, as gamers are picked up by an agent and publicist and sent on their way to virtual fame and fortune.
An animated Kim Kardashian West makes regular appearances in the game's storyline, and is featured alongside plenty of recorded voice clips.
"I'm so excited to launch this game and offer my fans a fun way to experience a piece of my life," said Kim Kardashian West. "So much of this game – from the outfits to hairstyles to accessories – are all inspired by looks that I love and hand selected. We were able to record and include so much of my natural commentary throughout the gameplay. I really enjoyed the creative process and seeing this game brought to life is amazing. I'm so proud of this project and I hope my fans enjoy the game as much as I do!"
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is available to download for free on iOS and Google Play. The game is supported via premium currency, which is used to speed up tasks, 'charm' in-game characters during encounters, purchase premium clothing items and more.
