It'll set you back £1.99 / £2.99 [buy] to pick it up and give it a go. And you almost certainly should.
Original story follows...
Appointment with F.E.A.R. is the campest thing I've seen in video games for a while. It has supervillains with names like "Tiger Cat" and "Chainsaw Bronski".
It's based on the Steve Jackson gamebook of the same name. Developer Tin Man Games calls its adaptation of it an "interactive graphic novel".
Set in the 1980s, Appointment with F.E.A.R. has you play as a superhero and champion of justice who defends Titan City from any and all villains.
You're able to customise the look and gender of your superhero, as well as choose what powers they have, which varies up each playthrough.
"Your mission is to discover the location of the top-secret F.E.A.R. meeting, capture the Titanium Cyborg and his cohorts and bring them to justice," writes Tin Man Games.
You do this by looking for clues to solve crimes and track down the 30+ supervillains with your "Crime Watch" gadget.
It seems that you'll need to defeat them using quip-based combat. It works just like the "Insult Sword Fighting" in the Monkey Island series.
Other than that, there are also trading card for you to collect along the way, including special rare ones.
You'll be able to purchase Appointment with F.E.A.R. for £1.99 / $2.99 on the UK and US App Stores at midnight. It will also be coming to Android, either tomorrow or soon after.
