Ever since then, when the iPhone finally began to make a weighty competition handheld game consoles, users dreamed of in the style of MMORPG World Of Warcraft. In those days, prevented to realize the desired hardware control devices, but with iDevices every year becomes more powerful. And now the first game Xenome episode was one of the first three-dimensional RPG-games, quests and implementing a large game world on the mobile platform.
In Xenome user will have to play a scientist, awakened from cryogenic sleep in a post-apocalyptic future. The protagonist immediately plunges into the flow of events accompanied struggle between warring factions for control of toxic biological deserts and scattered it secrets. In the travel time in the world scientist collects scraps of information, trying to find out who he is and why get here.
For such games outside world looks pretty good. The developers note that the user can move to 8 km playing area without long waiting times or a variety of downloads.
To control the main character, which is displayed on the screen from a third party uses the stick 2: left - for movement, and the right - for turning the camera and aim. True, at times to cope with it is not easy :)
On the other hand, the game is not very interesting gameplay. Of course at first quite funny quests and cracking down on monsters or other creatures. However, after a while you realize that 95% of jobs are related murder of a certain number of enemies, and the remaining 5% require a search for new computer players, which will give you a new quests.
During the fight, with a few "bosses" are not required to apply any strategy - treatment system will be enough to deal with them. warrior style also does not matter, because the protagonist is a jack of all trades - he can shoot equally effective weapons to fight in close combat and treat yourself. Although I am sure that in future episodes, game developers will pay more attention to this aspect.
Finally I will say that Xenome Episode 1 is designed for the iPhone 4, so the owners of more early-generation iPhone and iPod touch may experience performance problems and stability of the game (to me, though, it is not It hurts).
