DuelystA few months back we wrote about the upcoming Duelyst going into beta, and I talked about how I was looking forward to getting this game on my mobile. Well, that day is closer since Duelyst has launched for PC and according to the developers, from here on they’ll be focusing on making the mobile version of Duelyst great and hope to launch at some point in 2016. If you haven’t heard of the game or don’t know much about it, Duelyst is a fast-paced collectible card game with a tactical battlefield, and it looks great. The game currently over 330 cards across 6 unique Factions and offers ranked season ladder and draft mode tournaments. And the matches last between 5-10 minutes, making it great for mobile.

The game has some big names behind it; its lead artists have worked on games like Overwatch, WoW, and Rogue Legacy, and the team also includes board game designer Eric Lang, who’s worked on games like XCOM, Blood Rage, Game of Thrones, and more. I’ve been really looking forward to Duelyst coming to my mobile devices, so I hope we won’t have to wait long before getting to play it.

      Guess he's just going to leave the first one broken then...

        The developer @AH_Phan is super approachable. Just bring it to his attention again and he'll respond.

        I'm caught between a rock and a bad place with that, because the game was designed for Apple's new WKWebview engine they had released in iOS8 for developers to port Javascript directly over with Apple's NitroJIT accelerating what is essentially PC code.

        Come iOS9, Apple changed the way they handled music/audio and it broke a LOT of games. They also changed the way they handled LocalStorage (savefiles!). I guess in the process of finalizing the features, they had to do what they did. But long story short, I have 3 options. 1) Leave it as is, no audio. 2) Update with new iOS9 audio compatibility, but it will break everyone's current savegame. 3) Hope Apple adds back some methods for audio compatibility.

        If the lack of audio breaks the game for you, I am more than happy to offer a refund even if Apple refuses. Email me: [email protected] and I can paypal you the refund.

      Excellent game. I'm 60 hours into the steam version. This will have a lot more depth then most iOS games.

      Oh, nice. I played star nomad elite for quite a bit on steam. Very enjoyable but with its flaws. If the sequel is at least as good, this should be one to pick up.

      Haven't tried the original yet, but I'm looking forward to this one. This "Spacesim + Mount & Blade + FTL Mix" made it mighty interesing for me ;)
