You don't just have a handful of unit types and building/tech upgrades – these number in the dozens.
This+means+war Gameloft goes deep on customization. Not only are there three campaigns across three races (just like StarCraft), there is a serious resource management game-within-a-game, online PVP and free-for-all skirmishes, and a host of options that will make any fan of the genre seriously happy. Whereas Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer for iOS cut corners and was decidedly watered down (but still playable), Gameloft delivers the real deal. Though it has all the key pieces of an excellent strategy game, trying to squeeze a no-compromises RTS interface into the iPhone is what trips up StarFront.īefore drilling down a little more on the controls issue, let's go over what StarFront does right. But for now, it's only on the iPhone, which means cramming a lot into less real estate. And perhaps it will when Gameloft releases StarFront: Collision – its version of StarCraft – for the iPad. That huge touchscreen should make manipulating resources, directing traffic, and launching attacks a snap. Real-time strategy games always seemed like a perfect fit for Apple's touch-centric devices, particularly the iPad.
