I'm only a few fights in and can already see how the mechanics could make for some thrilling stuff, once you get more than one mob the fights are pretty exciting. Movement reminds me of the current retro dungeoun crawlers where you move by moving the screen and exploring for door keys, loot and mobs to fight, learning how to beat them and kicking much arse. Only touched the surface (haven't seen the arm mechanic yet) but looking really good so far. # Jayg2015 Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2015 3,734 41 48 Male Player 1 Liberty city #16 Jayg2015, Jul 28, 2016 Can't tell from pics.

You don't need Metal enabled devices to play the game - I'm playing this on my 1st gen iPad mini and it works fine...
