Review

For whatever reason, despite everything else today’s Android phones can do, I’m still impressed when I see 3D models and worlds in a game that I’m playing on my phone. It’s just one of those things that makes me remember that living in the future is awesome. Now you’re telling me that I can have a spiritual kin to Phantasy Star Online in my pocket at all times? OK. I’m just going to start throwing money at you until you give me this game.

Hold up, Star Legends is Free-To-Play? Quick, somebody pinch me.

While many developers are trying to push the boundaries of the iPhone when it comes to things like graphics (Infinity Blade, Real Racing 2), I’d be inclined to argue that the biggest challenge an iOS developer could tackle is bringing a living, breathing MMO world to a portable device. Many have tried (Yslandia, Empire Online), but the only developer who’s managed to make any truly significant strides has been Spacetime Studios, the name behind Pocket Legends. Now they’re gearing up for their second mobile MMO, and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
