Aurora Feint: First Impressions of a Free Iphone Game

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Especially compared to some of the other games that are currently free in the App store, like TapTap, CubeRunner, and Blip, Aurora feint will initially shock you with its slick graphics and production quality.

The game mechanics are simple– it’s basically a destroy the blocks type strategy game, cleverly using touch to enable you to move blocks with your finger for more than 1 space at a time. Playing for more than 5 minutes or so, one quickly realizes, and as the game’s developers promise, the game mechanics go way deeper. You level up by destroying blocks in order to purchase new abilities, the first of which includes the ability to gain combo-ing ability. In this regard, and taking advantage of the iphone’s internet connection, this game becomes an online strategy game RPG.

Aurora Feint promises to be an MMO (probably with some type of combat mode — I doubt in real time– although you can add your friends to your party) it already seems very interesting and deep. It would be nice for them to add some kind of combat mode.

You can initially only choose between a male and a female character, although it seems likely more enhancements and such will occur as time progresses.

Be sure to try tilting your phone to the right or to the left, if you get stuck. It moves the blocks in that direction!

Initial Impression: 8/10
