I read that too. Although they did say the iPhone version will have some melee combat in it; to what degree, who knows.
More awesome images from PocketGamer: Looks like the game isn't cutting back on the violence. Just look at the 4th image and see for yourself.
I'm confused: the images from PocketGamer say "brawler" but Slide to Play says it's a dual-stick shooter. What gives?
If that's the case, then I can, once again, get excited about this game. A pure dual-stick-shooter would have made no sense with franchise.
It's probably mainly a brawler, Slide to Play probably got misled by the appearance of guns and shooting and thought it was a dual-stick shooter. It looks like there will be shooting, but not strict gunplay mechanics like a dual-stick, the focus will probably be on melee.
kotaku.com reports PSN in-store date of 29th april: http://kotaku.com/5517157/kick+ass-the-game-might-not-live-up-to-its-name So I think it will be in the app store at 29th, too. Or maybe even later, one week or so! New trailer in the link says you can unlook in the PSP version a digital comic book, and a special arena mode + extreme mode! I hope iPhone version will have that bonuses too, but probably not
You guys are all wrong. It's out two weeks early. That's right, it's out in New Zealand already: TA Thread: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=52218 iTunes Link: http://toucharcade.com/link/http://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/kick-a-s-the-game/id365520480?mt=8
