Five Alarm Freebie Alert: ‘Attack The Light – Steven Universe’ Is Free For The First Time

TouchArcade Rating:

Would you like to play a fun RPG today, but don’t have the cash to spare due to holiday burnout? The Cartoon Network has your back, friend. The Steven Universe RPG, Attack The Light ($2.99), has just gone free, no strings attached.Since the game has no IAP to speak of, you’re getting a full, great game for absolutely nothing in return. That’s an amazing deal for a game that earned a five-star review from the perpetually-grumpy Carter “3.5 Stars" Dotson and (spoiler alert) a spot on the upcoming RPG Reload’s Favorite RPGs Of 2015 list.

Attack The Light is described as a “light RPG", and that’s a fairly accurate descriptor. You explore dungeons by swiping from room to room, tapping on treasures and the occasional puzzle. Battles take a page from Nintendo’s Mario RPGs, with plenty of timing-based taps and gestures for special moves. It’s definitely a battle-heavy game, but the breezy nature of the exploration makes it ideal for short-burst gameplay in a way that few RPGs are built around. You don’t need to be a Steven Universe fan to appreciate it, either. I personally enjoyed the game quite a bit and I haven’t seen a single episode of the show.

At the time of writing, it’s not clear why the game has gone free or how long it will be that way, so you might want to grab it as soon as the price change goes live in your time zone. As early Christmas presents go, Attack The Light – Steven Universe is a pretty sweet one.

      Eh, can't get any of this unless you can skill them for free in the TLEs or those boxes that cost real money or a lot of time.

    2. Whiskey Lips

      When is this coming to AppleTV?

    3. Aragorn01

      So pay-to-play

      Screw Gameloft and their love of money. Modern combat was the one original franchises that has had five installments. Shit-Loft destroyed the franchise and every other app they have made and will continue to make with their stupid ads and love of money.

        Then you should have bought the game when it used to cost money (2014) What do you expect you dumbass? It's ''Free''

      I'm sorry for the harsh words but I'm sick of the leading devs compromising quality for MONEY. A bunch of share-holder serving jerks. I'm one of their most dedicated and loyal fans for 10 years now

      Still love this whole series!

      now it takes like 1 year to unlock all the guns if u start playing this game now, they fucked up the game.

      Man did gameloft get greedy.... I mean i have all weapons and stuff already (including this "rail gun", which it is not. It's a beam weapon), but gameloft has made literally everything cost money and alot of it. It's darn near impossible to get good weapons unless you spend exorbitant amounts of money. I guarantee that you will have to spend over $500 to unlock all the weapons, if not more. And let's not forget about all the armors and stuff too. If you don't pay for anything, it will probably take you 3 years to unlock everything if you play literally everyday for 4 hours a day. Oh wait that's not possible either because you need stupid energy to play. I feel so sorry for any new players out there coming into the game now. I do whatever I can to help them (I'm not one of those a-hole pros that you see out there, like most of them) but man are they just SOL. I mean the new blueprint system? Cmon guys.... absolutely ridiculous.
