Today, we’re taking a brief break from the sweep of history in the World of Darkness to visit a vastly different genre that’s nonetheless near and dear to my pocket: mobile strategy games. Suffice it to say that the story of Duayet and her role in the war with Set is far from over.
Starting up my prerelease build of Sixjoy’s free-to-play Android strategy game Monster Castle, I was greeted by a colorful loading screen – a neat accelerometer-enabled 3D scene that lets us peek over the shoulder of a hero to see a chaotic (if cute) battle. It looks like the monsters are winning, pushing the human forces back from what I suspect is the titular Monster Castle. The lack of a built-in mute button here is a bit of an oversight, but once the patch downloaded, it’s off to the races.
