Gameloft’s iPhone RTS ‘Rise of Lost Empires’ Now in the App Store
Sunday, June 7, 2009
Good day for RTS fans, Gameloft’s iPhone RTS Rise of Lost Empires ($4.99) has arrived in the App Store.
It’s great to see more RTS games coming to the iPhone. So many games that come to the App Store are ports that use touchscreen gamepads that feel awkward to use to say the least.
But RTS is one of those unique game genres that the iPhone is perfectly equipped for. Unlike your stereotypical gamepad driven console the iPhone has a large and accurate touchscreen, which rivals the pointer precision of the mouse, and yet it’s also portable.
