Back in January Roadhouse Games announced a new mobile RPG based on the legendary band Iron Maiden. While that sounded like an odd combination, the game actually made a lot of sense as it let you play as a team of various types of Eddies, the bands longtime undead mascot, and play through the crazy environments show on the band’s album art throughout the years. In short, it was a free to play battling and collecting RPG like those that are so popular on mobile, but dripping in Iron Maiden fan service. Following a brief soft-launch in late May, today Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Free) has released worldwide.

I’ve only played Legacy of the Beast for a very brief period (expect to wait several minutes upon initial boot-up while the game downloads additional assets) but I’m definitely liking what I’m seeing so far. The game has a tremendous sense of style with wicked characters and animations. I’m a collect-a-holic too, so I’m kind of expecting to get sucked into this one as I have with several of these other types of RPGs in the past. Also, this shouldn’t come as a surprise but the music is kick ass! Definitely worth taking a shot at the free download of Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast if you’re a Maiden fan or like these types of games, and you can watch for more impressions and discussion to begin rolling into the game’s forum thread. Oh, and if you’re of the Android persuasion, the game’s out on the Google Play Store too.
