The squad selection buttons, for instance, are still restricted to just the three groups, despite the whole left-side of the screen crying out for more. The controls, however, have a number of blemishes that should really not be present on the bigger screen.
STARFRONT COLLISION HD GALAXY NOTE 2 HOW TO
There’s none of the RTS-lite gameplay that another series forces on you ( Red Alert, I’m still looking at you) - missions give you an objective or two and let you get along with working out how to achieve it in your own way, for the most part. Part of this is down to the fully-featured tech-tree and upgradable units, but mainly it's thanks to the relative freedom you have to execute a mission. The 17 missions on offer in the single-player campaign won’t offer up too many surprises for the PC-veterans - consisting mainly of either the base-building, wave defence, or squad management archetypes that dominate the genre - but they’re executed with a style that’s often found lacking in other RTS games on iPad.
Starfront: Collision HD is an unashamed 'tribute' to Blizzard’s PC sales-juggernaut StarCraft 2, with three races - The Consortium, Myriad, and Wardens (Humans, insects, robots) - all battling it out for control of the precious resource Xenodium. It's finally here, and while the form factor offers up a far easier and more delightful experience by its sheer size alone, the trade-offs from the iPhone version have also, inexplicable, stowed themselves on-board.
We didn't expect to see these compromises on the more generously proportioned iPad.
When Starfront: Collision first launched on iPhone it was critically lauded for its adaptation of the real-time strategy genre to fit the smaller screen, managing to do what so many other big names in the past had failed to achieve - make a game that didn’t feel like a cut-down version of a PC title ( Red Alert, I’m looking at you).īut there were still compromises made so that the controls would work well with the small screen.
