Unlike the cuddly and colorful Pokémon Go, Ingress has a dark science fiction edge to it, dropping players into a fictional world in which scientists have discovered a powerful particle called Exotic Matter (XM). Pokémon Go players seeking a more robust experience might find much to like with Ingress, but it won’t automatically appeal to all Poké-fans.Ĭurious? Here’s how Ingress and Pokémon Go compare, as well as why you should give it a shot-or why it might not be up your alley. In some ways, it’s a much deeper experience, but it’s also a lot less inviting on the surface. However, Ingress is a very different game in many respects, from the neon-and-black look to the existence of an ongoing narrative, not to mention the ways in which you interact with the world and try to topple the opposing side. In fact, the games share a lot of DNA, with the Ingress world map and landmarks updated and repurposed for Pokémon Go.
As in Pokémon Go, you play by leaving your home, exploring your surroundings, and interacting with nodes placed upon nearby buildings and landmarks. Launched in beta in late 2012, Ingress tells the story of two warring factions battling it out for the fate of the world. See, Niantic’s location-based gameplay approach wasn’t invented for Nintendo’s franchise, but rather designed and refined first in the fan-favorite Ingress.
The dramatic successs of Pokémon Go has taken nearly everybody by surprise-well, maybe not Ingress players.
