We told you last week that the remake of the strategy classic M.U.L.E. would be landing on November 25th, and we weren’t lying. As of today you can now download M.U.L.E. Returns ($4.99) from the App Store. This new iOS version features remade visuals, remixes of the classic M.U.L.E. tunes, and absolutely no in-app purchases or any of that weirdness. As the app description puts it, “Nothing else to buy. No gems. No crystals. No ads. Pure gaming!" Here you can see a nice chunk of the game in action in this developer gameplay video.
Early impressions in our forums seem mostly positive. The new visuals seem to be going over well, and while some express disappointment that the exact original music tracks aren’t included, the remixed tracks are faithful enough and of an even higher quality so it’s looking like a non-issue. Drawbacks include a slightly clunky interface and the lack of multiplayer at release, though it’s said to be “coming soon" in the app. Multiplayer seemed to be a huge part of the appeal of the original for a lot of folks, so hopefully we’ll see it added in M.U.L.E. Returns soon. Either way if you were looking forward to M.U.L.E. Returns on your iOS device, head to the App Store with the link below to check it out.
