If you are like me, and Love RPG,
Then you may get a little excited by the release of this.

Looks and gameplay follow Zelda alot.
And if you have not played Zelda before...... well dont read on:

They Quote and say they are not Zelda, nor trying to copy or want to be compared to them.
But Zelda is the Golden game of RPG back in the days at least anyway, And any game alike will always be compared to it

Oh man, how time flies. It has been a hectic year here at our studio. Oceanhorn project has grown from a 3D-tile tech demo into a full-blown adventure engine and the stuff that comes from the other end gives me goose bumps - of excitement. A year ago when we announced Oceanhorn, we never guessed how many people a simple announcement would attract. We learned that people wanted, no they needed an Action RPG like this for their iOS devices.

Because of your high expectations, we have worked hard and given all the time on our hands for the game. Everyday our adventure grows bigger, everyday the game becomes better, and everyday I'm more confident that this is what you players want. And that is what we are going to give for Oceanhorn - more time.

Oceanhorn that will be released in 2013 is a better game than the one that was initially planned for 2012.

After we released our last gameplay video, we got contacted by so many wonderful people who wanted to help us! One party stood out from the crowd. They were fans of the genre, they had played and loved the games that inspired Oceanhorn, and they had their best intentions to help us to give Oceanhorn all the polish it needs.

Now, Cornfox & Brothers are happy to announce that as an outcome of fruitful negotiations, we have begun cooperation with FDG Entertainment to bring you the best adventure game of 2013.

Image

Cornfox is a three man team, so FDG comes in at perfect time to give us the privilege to concentrate on the game itself. Here is a summary of the things that we've worked on lately:

ITEMS
- Shield incoming attacks, bomb your way through walls, snipe down enemies with a bow, dodge roll and jump over ledges with trencher boots.

SPELLS
- We have implemented exciting interactive spells! Line up enemies for perfect FIRE shot. Throw items at enemies with FORCE spell.

Image


UPGRADES
- Use your hard earned money to improve your Items and Spells. You get more arrows and bombs, your sword deals more damage and you get new properties for your items.

CONTROLS
- Floating Directional Controls: People have spoken and we listened. Big virtual stick is now gone. Game will include control options for all tastes.

BATTLE
- We are very pleased how items and spells gave much needed depth to the combat. There is nothing more pleasing than shooting down a Crapybara (that red insect thing) from a ledge, or performing an perfect dodge roll before Ogre hits you with a hammer and counterattacking him from behind.

Image

ADVENTURE
- Switches, spikes, arrow traps, raising blocks, laser turrets and intelligent enemy respawning gives you hard time in dungeons and temples, but you will love every puzzling minute of it.

VISUALS
- Project started in 2010, so the character model in all its 800 polygon glory started to show its age. Well, we have a new higher polygon main character model now - better suited for adventures played in 2013!

CINEMATICS and STORY
- Epic adventure needs epic storytelling, starring Ray Chase as hero's father's voice.

SOCIAL
- Compare your BRAVE RANK together with your friends. Are you a Rookie Adventurer, Treasure Hunter or simply a Legend. Brave Rank tracks your every kill, discovered treasure chest and completed challenge to give you bragging rights.


Image

See?! A lot of great stuff is coming up and our cooperation with FDG Entertainment is going to provide Oceanhorn something even more amazing, but we will tell you more about that later! :)

Have a great holidays and see you in 2013. Remember, we might be silent, but it only means we are working. Constantly. All the time. Until it's out.

I got me an iPhone 5 now so can try games again :)
Gets old being told "this game is not compatible with this phone" for every recommendation...

I still hate Apple for forcing my hand though.

Yeah please - I have a thirst for mobile games right now :)

Also I just went through all the thread I could find, but I'm sure you mentioned a strategy game with cartoony little dudes... Ring a bell? Toy Soldiers? Or Small Soldiers? Or something like that? I can see what it looked like, but that won't help you lol

Also, what's your Game Centre ID?

No, it was an RTS with cute little soldiers. I found it on the store, but it was quite expensive and can't fucking remember what it was called again...

Oh - Great Little War Game may have been it... Ring any bells?

Yer that was the one.
It's a turn base strategy game. Very good :-) been hooked on it on my android. As it was on sale there.
Got the first edition an the expansion one.

Is it multi player? If so I may get it for this if you fancy it.

An the price of games, they have gone up a lot. But I have notices the game play seems to be more extended. Not paid 1.99 - 5 for a game I have completed in a hour

So am pleased with some of the purchases an length of game play :-)
