N.O.V.A. 3: Freedom Edition Review: A Brighter Tomorrow –

Hardcore Droid – What is N.O.V.A 3: Freedom Edition?

It’s a showcase. An exhibition. Nay, a love letter to the modern console FPS brought to us by the mobile developers at Gameloft. It attempts, with much success, to provide a true FPS experience on mobile devices with as few compromises as possible. To show that our perceptions of the limitations of a particular medium are in no way indicative of the type of shooter experience it can provide. More to the point, N.O.V.A. 3 is a sci-fi game based around famed N.O.V.A. commander Kal Wardin making a trip to the long dormant planet of Earth, to answer a distress call and eventually unravel a plot much larger than himself, but not quite as large as the considerable inventory of weapons available to him to stop the looming threat behind it all.
