First-person shooters tend to check off at least one of three boxes: zombies, military, sci-fi. Some games check off all three. So the upcoming FPS Respite looks particularly intriguing because it’s promising to be none of those. It’s a fantasy-styled FPS that’s coming to iOS devices. You will play as a dwarf, using a crossbow, a shotgun/blunderbuss weapon, and magic spells to help defeat orcs, goblins, and other fantasy creatures, all in order to retrive your lost helmet.
The game certainly looks promising. It appears to have been in the works for a while, from Tam Games, who promise “triple-A games on mobile." They’ve posted about the game on our forums, but have no estimated release date at this point. They’ve been working on it since at least 2012, and promising that it’s near release, and the game’s looking like it’s in good-enough shape. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one – it’s showing a ton of promise, especially so for a game of this scope on mobile. But whether it can deliver on it is a good question – and one I hope is answered soon because we need more variety in the FPS genre.
Does this include Kindle Fire or is is strictly Google Play market only?
It's out on Kindle Fire as well, just updated the post with a link.
Sick i might use my fire now!!!!
Was thinking about getting an iPad solely to play Hearthstone on it but this launch is indeed a blessing as I can now play it on an Android tablet (like 2013's Nexus 7) that cost less than half of the price of an entry-level iPad. 👍✨
I liked how your took the opportunity to diss at iPads for no reason at all :)
I like how he shows how overpriced Apple's products are
The Nexus 9 isn't that much cheaper, or is it?
You need to pay extra for premium... If you wanna play games like hearthstone on your tablet without having to wait over a year for it to come out only to realize oh shit my tablet isn't supported because it didn't get firmware update required then you have to pay extra for it
The game looks a bit squeezed on a Nexus 7 from 2013 because it's not covering the entire screen like some games manage to do, i.e. the back/home/appswitch bar is visible.
There are some games that cover the entire screen (Fruit Ninja and Real Racing 3 for example) and a swipe down from the top of the screen reveals the bar with those buttons. Would be good if it worked the same in Heartstone.
Anyway, I have the luxury of having an iPad to play on too, so… :)
Hope this game comes out for phones soon.
Let the carnage begin!
Doesn't run on my fire :/
Man. Now to try to be competitive with people who have been playing for a long time. After a few matches and no wins, I'm slightly discouraged.
Arena my friend. Same odds for everyone.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot after work.
The game usually uses fair matchmaking algorithms, but there's a known issue right now. Might explain what you got.

Damn 6 inch and up. My note 4 is at 5.7.... So close!
Running fine on a LG G3 5,5" screen. Had to root the phone for that, but very worth it ! :D
I expected it to run smoother on my Nexus 7 (2013), but it's still very playable.
Oh, and after you play your first match on an Android device it gives you a free card pack :)
It does that on any platform
No, it's a special thing to promote the Android version.
They did it on iOS and Mac / PC too .
Did it do the same on the iOS version? I don'r remember.
Anyway... it gives another pack to your existing account specifically for playing once on an Android device.
Yes they did it on iOS too.
So will Hearthstone work through a Chrome browser or on a Chromebook?
No.
Stutters on my fire up until i get a game then it plays great.
Works on my Hp touchpad that has a cracked version of android only issue with it is that the sound quality is horrible, but it is still playable
Wow!! Finally played it an yes the hype for so long is true love this game so much! Goodbye order and chaos duels it's time to waste some of my money on hearthstone:)
