Late last month we told you about Ernest Szoka’s Only One, a king-of-the-hill style hack’n slash for iOS that had at the time just been submitted to Apple. Well, the Apple approval gears cranked away and Only One (Free) is now available in the App Store. Inspired by the Jet Li action flick The One, Only One sees your player materialize on the top of a circular tower with a glowing sword in hand. Bad guys similarly materialize in increasingly greater numbers, and it’s your job to hack’n slash them to death or simply hack them off the side of the arena, plunging them to a likely messy death.
This simple core idea is fleshed out with an interesting progression system. Orbs dropped by enemies can be collected and used to buy new abilities for your hero, and though the game doesn’t have an overly-complex skill tree, you still have a nice bit of freedom to choose the particular strengths and powers that your hero will learn. You can get a good idea of what Only One is all about in the following trailer.
I have to say I’m really enjoying Only One in my brief time with it so far. The action starts out slower-paced than I imagined, but as you get deeper in the game and the number of enemies starts to increase, it ends up being for the best and is plenty frantic. The upgrade system is awesome, and you can really feel your hero getting more powerful as you go. Also, the sounds and visuals really complement the action. My one minor complaint so far is that the virtual stick feels a bit too small, but hopefully that’s something that will be tweaked in an update.
Only One is free to download, with IAP coin packs and a coin doubler if you have the urge to speed up your progression. It all feels very unnecessary though, as the in-game currency is doled out quite generously. For free, there’s really no reason not to download and check out Only One, and more impressions can be found in our forums.
:D
Hopefully it'll be in the 40K Universe
My first thought as well
Hunters 3 please.
Lol that was my second one
And less than 1 gig install size...?
I know it needs to look "amazing", but hopefully they remember this is *MOBILE* gaming!!!!
I'd play Hunters 3 for sure. I occasionally load up Hunters 1 or Hunters 2 & finish them again...! They were good fun games (and not that big in terms of megs).
Well, whatever it is, it's surely gonna have some stunning graphics.
Sounds cool, Unity really is getting pretty amazing too though. Indie developers now actually have the opportunity to work with these high fidelity styles if they can scrap together the art; also made easier by the Unity Asset Store.
Make hunters 3, this war hammer trash is terrible IMO
Heresy!
No way.i loved hunters but Warhammer 40k would kick the shit out of hunters and warhammer fantasy.just search up dawn of war 2 or warhammer space marines video game. And bask in the glory of the emeperors finest. The space marines... Don't bother with space hulk:P But if rodeo can somewhat emulate the awesomeness of those games or the tabletop game. You will not be disappointed.
Now I want a new Infinity Blade with the newest Unreal engine...
Well this sucks, def no iPod 4 supp :(
Then Upgrade
Nope better upgrade that outdated hardware
Yea:( maybe in June
Sounds cool!! Need some more AAA ios games.
Interesting! 40k turn based strategy???
Warhammer fantasy rpg with better graphic would be awesome. I loved warhammer quest!
Very pleased to hear they are continuing to work on GW stuff. WHQ was one of my games of the year, if not my game of the year. Don't think I spent more time in a game than WHQ.
