Impossible s.r.o. to release GOLD versions of its real-time strategy games: YERS and Lords of Chaos
It is a well known fact that of all video game genres, three
are most popular among the gamers - action first or
third-person shooters, racing games and real time strategy
games. While the first two mentioned genres have already
found their way to mobiles, real time strategy gaming is
somehow struggling.
Of course there could be examples of games that have done
quite well with the best example being the Townsmen series.
But where are games like Dune 2, Warcraft or Command and
Conquer and other well known RTS games.
There have been demands made and excuses given instead of an
answer: "The mobile controls are not suitable for a
RTS!"
As we know today, this is a false statement and it´s only
about how clever a solution a development company is able to
provide. It is most positive that some mobile developers have
accepted the challenge and decided to put up a fight to
deliver some stunning mobile RTS to our handies.
Impossible s.r.o. Really caught a bull by the horns by
developing not one but two mobile RTSs. While these games are
quite good and could provide guidelines as to how a mobile
RTS should be done, the company has somehow failed to promote
them as well as their quality would deserve. Thus the games
have fared pretty well back in the Czech Republic where
Impossible is based, but gained little attention on
world-wide markets.
However, times, they are a-changing and developers at
Impossible must have realized this, as they have announced
GOLD versions of both - sci-fi themed YERS and fantasy set
Lords of Chaos. The release is scheduled MayJune 2006
So no matter if you are a gamer or a distributor, you should
keep your spotlight centered on these sound titles. For they
may as well present a milestone in mobile RTS gaming.
