Aralon: Sword and Shadow is being described by many as The Elder Scrolls on the iPhone, and that's not an inaccurate description. On one hand, this is easily the biggest game world to ever appear on the system, providing an immersive and fun play experience. On the other, the only way to actually enjoy yourself is if you can put up with the technical irritations that you'll definitely encounter during play.
When people want to play epic, sprawling, Elder Scrolls-style RPG's, the iPhone isn't necessarily the first gaming device that comes to mind. Yet with games like Ravensword and Xenome establishing a solid presence on the portable, and titles like The Shadow Sun in the works, it seems as though the iPhone is quickly becoming the destination of choice for the genre. Aralon: Sword and Shadow is the next title that's set to join their ranks.
