Apple releases Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles to the app store

It's been a long time winding its way through the Apple approving process, but Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles is now available for iOS devices. The game, which is free with optional microtransaction purchases, is a universal app, so it will play on the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.

Apple users have had to wait significantly longer to get their hands on Star Legends than Android players, as the Android version was released much earlier this month. Spacetime Studios promises gamers that a "majority" of the content of the game is completely free-to-play, and characters can reach the level cap without having to pay a dime.

Its not a bad game for being a mobile game. Its instanced with auto-grouping. Its hard enough that help is always welcome. Progress is slow and it can get laggy at times.

I'm still not convinced that third person 3D games are ideal for a touch screen. I greatly prefer the top down perspective such as that in Warspear Online.

I can only assume these games are meant to be played in 5-10 minute segments. Playing any longer than that on an iPhone would be painful.

Playing PL (back before I got an iPad 2 and played Order and Chaos instead) on the iPhone 4 was tolerable for an hour or so. I'd probably have been able to stand it longer if it I didn't always play before bed. :)

More then a day late on this news blurb. Thought for sure your mobile MMO guru (Beau) would have been on this. Oh, wait, my bad, it's mainstream and polished. Not his thing.
