![]() However, there are some other RTS-like games out there that are worth noting. None of the game functions were fixed or improved on from the original release.Īs I mentioned in the overview, Starfront is un-contested in its genre, so I won’t even try to suggest another match for it.Plenty of upgrades and features to enjoy with a multitude of different units and buildings to create.Full multiplayer adds almost unlimited replay value, especially while it stays un-contested as the top mobile RTS game.The feeling of playing a true RTS game on a mobile device in HD is a welcomed edition to the mobile app community.The upgrade to the larger screen feels like more could have been done with the additional space, but all in all it still works well and looks much better in HD. ![]() The interface works well for a Real Time Strategy game and sports a nice modern, easy to use interface. Requires Android 2.1 or higher and iOS 3.1.3 or higher. Installation can be done by downloading the game through the App Store on iOS or the Play Store on Android. ![]() Starfront: Collision is available on iOS and now Android. Starfront: Collision HD also offers multiplayer, which really adds to the feeling of getting a complete game. Considering that this is a mobile version of a genre that has traditionally always been left to PC and rarely on consoles, it’s safe to say that this is still an excellent title that’s a must have for any fans of RTS games who own a iPad already. The game takes roughly 4 or so hours to complete and you’re left with a conclusion that is slightly confusing and un-satisfying. Controls still seem to be a bit off, with blemishes that normally work much better on larger screen. The game isn’t completely without faults, sadly most of them are minor and feel like they could have been addressed with the port to the more powerful device. The game plays much better on the big screen and the HD quality is a welcomed edition. You’re basically looking at a HD port from phone to tablet, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately the original compromises from the iPhone version are still here with the HD version. Now we have the release Starfront HD: Collision HD which was built to play on the larger screen and boast higher visual quality on the devices that support HD display. While Starfront does well to play much more like a real-time game, there are still some compromises that had to be made to allow it to play well on a phone. Starfront: Collision was released awhile back for the iPhone and was praised for its success in creating a title that did well to play like a PC version of a RTS title, unlike some other disappointing. The fact that Starfront plays so closely to the PC Real-Time games on a mobile device is definitely something for the developers to boast about. The game includes 17 missions that won’t offer anything new to PC players of the genre, but has the typical objective set that has dominated the genre for so many years. It’s a Real-Time Strategy game that takes place in a universe where space marines and aliens race to build the strongest army. Would you rather play a very StarCraft-like game now, or just sit there and keep hoping for Blizzard to release the real deal? You can't play hope, you know.Starfront: Collision HD is a proud tribute to the ever so popular Blizzard title Star Craft. I know a lot of folk have cried foul over the similarities to StarCraft, but ask yourself this. I'm looking forward to seeing how StarFront turns out. (The difference between the preview build and the released version of Splinter Cell: Conviction was substantial.) I'm sure StarFront will be cleaned up in the coming weeks. Although serviceable, I could tell they were missing that polishing pass that every Gameloft game gets before going into the App Store. ![]() However, I cannot say too much about StarFront's visuals just yet. The size of the iPad screen indeed proves its value with RTS games as I also had little issue managing my energy and resources, as well as creating new units at captured outposts. I had zero problem whatsoever moving my Consortium troops and tanks across the map, either one or two at a time or as a whole by using a handy "grab all" button. The goal is, of course, complete dominance of every map through the development of resources and units – and the deployment thereof. Each race has several missions for a grand total of 20. Play StarFront offers three campaigns: the human Consortium and two alien races, the Myriad and the Wardens.
