I make no bones about being a huge fan of Injustice: Gods Among Us (Free) on mobile, NetherRealm’s pseudo-fighting-card-collecting game. Unlocking and upgrading new characters in the massive roster of fighters is actually just one gigantic grind, but it ends up being incredibly fun because the underlying fighting mechanics are so satisfying. Reliance Games, who have plenty of previous experience making mobile fighting games with titles like Real Steel ($0.99) and Pacific Rim ($0.99), is trying their hand at the card-collecting 3v3 hybrid brawler. It’s called Ultimate Robot Fighting and you can see it in action in the following trailer.
As you can see, Ultimate Robot Fighting really takes after Injustice in that it’s 3-person teams battling it out with taps and swipe gestures with a heavy emphasis on 3-tiered super moves. What it lacks is a roster of characters that people have been enamored with for nearly a century, but if the core fighting mechanics are solid then I could look past that. I’m anxious to check it out, and thankfully it won’t be too long a wait as Ultimate Robot Fighting is scheduled to launch on the App Store on December 4th.
I would happily pay $50 (honestly, maybe more) for the whole thing right now. I hate having to wait so long for each chapter. With staggers chapter games, I feel like I need to wait until they're all available to get it.
But realistically would you rather start playing it now- or wait until the end of 2015 to play it all at the same time? Because that's when everything will be finished. It's not like they sit on an entire finished game and tease us with slow releases. The episodic format allows them to release each chapter as they finish them and lets us start playing it a lot earlier.
I would rather wait. I'm not saying that you or anyone else should, I'm saying that I would rather wait. It's the same reason that I don't watch tv shows weekly, I wait until the entire season is available to watch and then I binge watch it.
I understand, I just have nowhere near the willpower to wait that long.
I think it would be good if they did a Alien/Aliens game like this

Instabuy too but I'm sad wondering where Borderlands is? I thought we would have it by now since its launched on steam. I want both but Borderlands slightly more so
Will wait to see how this plays on older devices (I have iPad mini 1). Wolf Among Us was tough to go through with all the bugs.
Although I am looking forward to exciting moral choices like "which Stark puppy to kill" and "Which of these appendages should I cut off?"
This will be the one telltale game that I'm getting day one!
