Backflip Studios, creator of Paper Toss and NinJump, has announced Army of Darkness: Defense, an iOS castle defence title in partnership with MGM studios.

The game will feature the infamous dialogue from Army of Darkness protagonist, Ash Williams (played by Bruce Campbell), and other characters drawn directly from the film.

The action takes place during the pivotal castle scene within the movie where Ash and his allies defend the powerful Necronomicon within Lord Arthur’s fortress from the onslaught of Deadites.

Gamers take on the role of Ash while summoning familiar troops, spells and weapons from the movie to help in the defence. Ash can call upon a wide variety of allies including swordsman, armoured knights, archers and more.

Army of Darkness: Defense will be available in the Apple App Store for the iPhone/iPod Touch for $0.99 and for the iPad for $2.99 on Thursday, May 12, 2011.
