According to Chip Sineni of Phosphor Games, we are all ready to pack up our game consoles and just play on our mobiles or tablets from now on, however something was lacking: Action adventure games. So here comes Horn to change all that. Is this the game that will get you to switch off you PS3 forever?
Horn is a 3D Action Adventure game that utilizes a dodge and slash mechanic, not much different than Infinity Blade or Phosphor’s own Dark Meadow, although from a different perspective. The combat system actually isn’t all that dissimilar from Phosphor’s recent effort, the Man of Steel movie tie-in game, that received unfavorable reviews from myself and other critics. What makes Horn unique and so amazing is the way the rest of the game is explored. Rather than being on rails like Infinity Blade or Dark Meadow, or worse just consisting of a string of battles like Man of Steel, Horn allows players to explore freely. When controlling Horn (the game’s protagonist) players can click anywhere on the ground and Horn will run there. It works quite well, certainly better than a virtual control stick, and even has an advantage over physical controls in that it allows players to admire the scenery while they wait for Horn to catch up to their commands.
PadGadget: Zynga is a name that is fast becoming synonymous with mobile gaming, handily delivering smash-hit after smash-hit for iOS-based devices. For those gamers who love adventure-based 3D titles, Horn has become one of the most beloved and impressive high-definition games available. If you are apprehensive to spent USD $6.99 on a game before you have had a good chance to evaluate it, consider grabbing Horn Free.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Here we are, the best iOS games of the year. We started with a list of 200, whittled that down to about 100, then the gloves came off, as we fought to include certain titles and said painful goodbyes to others. The result is a snapshot of 2012, the 50 iPhone and iPad games that stood out the most. That said, join us each day as we make the countdown. On that note, it's time for games 50-41.
Mobile gaming is no more than a distraction when in boring situations away from home.
That is all.
Articals just get more and more ridiculous every day.
Newb mobile developer calling for the end of consoles with this game lol what a joke go work for a real developer.
Consoles will not be replaced by phones and tablets any time soon.
Crappy touch controls and your fingers being all over the tiny screen. Plus no real games. Angry Birds, Farmville, Bejeweled, etc. are all great to kill time while in the waiting room. But I'm not about to pour 80 hours into an RPG on a 5 inch screen.
Mobile gaming blows compared to console/PC gaming.
Let's all revisit this guy in 15 years when consoles are still around and mobile is still mobile.
