Glu released its latest freemium title Blood & Glory onto the Android Market and App Store this weekend, apparently aiming to satisfy Android owners searching for an Infinity Blade replacement (or iOS users who need something to fill the wait for the sequel).
Triverse writes, "The JXD S601 is essentially, a sub $75 Android hand held manufactured by JXD of China. What you get under the hood is an ARM A9 CPU, a Mali400 3D chip and 4 gigs of memory total powered by 512 megs of RAM on a 4:3 resistive touch screen (for dual touch check out the S602 but be warned, it has a different 3D chip so games may look different on it)."
Triverse writes, "Glu Mobile have done just that with Blood and Glory, a gladiator themed 3D fighting game, they removed all of the complicated button presses, manula jumping and having to worry about environments. Sounds like they took out all of the fun too, huh? No, all they did was remove a lot of frustration from this type of game. Blood and Glory is all about the action, much like 3D running games, everything is focused on action and reacting to repercussions of your actions (arguably, “normal” fighting games were that too but a lot more complicated)."
Win glory in the arena by competing in over sixty gladiatorial battles. Paul Popiel of Leviathyn.com tears through the freemium game and discovers a game that tries to discourage players half way through and has no multiplayer.
