Only in as far smartphone and tablet platforms belong to the PC moniker. Seeing as these might be among the Switch's primary competition, the competitive pricing of Android's and iOS's multiplayer services bears comparison.

Do we know if Duels will offer up the full mechanics of the physical product (inter-turn interactivity, timing rules, full phases, peripheral rules, etc, and cards that make use of these elements)? I recall that the early version of the Duels of the Planeswalkers games, at least, were...

I've a kinda peculiar gaming itch to scratch, and who better to help me reach that spot than the world's premium collection of escapists? I'm looking for an open world game for the PC, with skill/twitch-based combat (reliant on reflexes and precision, not primarily character skills). However...

Actually, it is a both predictable and very rational choice. I'm surprised anyone would call it "strange", when it is the dominant convention. There are vast differences in the opportunity for profit on the iOS and Android platforms (and much has been written about this incongruence in the past...

At times, it can actually be near-essential. (And if that scares away some potential players, I'm afraid it probably should. KoDP is to Rebuild what Civilization IV is to Civ Rev, and probably one of the most complex gaming experiences available. While just making choices and achieve progress in...

I got my Scrolls on not long ago, chose Growth, and since the very first day, I've been consistently beating the AI on easy, no matter what deck it ends up with, in both quick matches and the easy trials. And while I have many, many years of TCG experience, I've never been devoted, and never...

The online multiplayer verion of The Banner Saga would probably do some nice itch-scratching for you, and once the single player campaign hits you'll be rolling in TBS goodness. (Should you happen to own an iOS device, The Ravenmark Saga is actually one of the most sophisticated, skill-based...

Far from everyone, both in the absolute and the relative sense of the phrase. Some of us (many, in some circles and cross-segments) could not imagine a more exciting state for the industry.

The Escapist forum backend will have to take full responsibility for that ;) I pressed "Quote" above the top post, the original article, and had an empty comment field (no quote tag from any of your posts lying about in the reply field).

This, I believe, would be the most significant consequence of this game that we are never going to see. A modern descendant of SCUMM, perhaps one that can be cheaply licensed to small-time and indie adventure game makers (kinda like the mobile Unreal Engine licensing terms and pricing), might do...

I'm confused. Does the game look and play like Skyrim, or a horribly generic MMO? hile perhaps not polar opposites, those two definitions are not very compatible. (The only inclusively logical conclusion is that horribly generic MMOs plays exactly like Skyrim, but with "an MMO-style UI draped...

I'd advise against it. This is one of the messier betas I've participated in (and I'm a beta slut with half of the major western MMOS and nearly all popular MOBAs/online death match games under my belt), occasionally rambling backewards into alpha territory. I also found the game a rather...

Which is, of course, something both iOS and Android mobile stores have offered for years, but trust every third dev to claim the rights of discovery ;)

The title also seems to be confirmed for iOS: http://toucharcade.com/2012/08/28/jordan-mechners-reimagined-karateka-confirmed-for-ios/ Regardless, I'll be looking forward to this one.

Supergiant Games have already confirmed via e-mail that there is a possibility of an iPhone port in the future, depending on the success of the iPad version, and that there are no technical limitations that would make an iPhone port unfeasible. Indeed, current-gen iPhones are considerably more...
