A new turn-based iteration of aerial combat game Steambirds [$1.99 / HD] is on the way, and get this: itβs a free-to-play venture headed up by the original crew behind Steambirds, Spry Fox, AND the video game gurus over at Fruit Ninja [$.99 / Lite / HD]creator Halfbrick. Talk about a mash-up.
Phil Larsen, Halfbrickβs potential Hollywood movie star and marketing wizard, calls Survival the βultimate dog-fighting tactical aerial combat gameβ and heβs probably right. I mean, what other game manages to fall under that description? This is why heβs a wizard, folks.
Weβve seen preciously little of Survival thus far, but we do know that itβs a turn-based combat joint similar to Spryβs original game in look and vibe. Itβll hit later this October with eight planes and 64 missions at launch with the promise of more to come. Weβll definitely try to get this in our e-office soon and give you the skinny from a hands-on perspective.
