Autumn Dynasty looks like an iPad game you should examine

I’m about to go and find my iPad and download Autumn Dynasty based on the Youtube video trailer above. This is the first super-quality real time strategy (“RTS”) game I’ve seen deployed on an iPad. Indeed the chaps over at game review site Kotaku commented that it looks more like a PC game than anything you’d expect to see on a tablet.

Instead of frantically moving your mouse about your desk, you can control everything with touch — and there’s the obligatory multiplayer functionality too, bluetooth or online.

I used to play a lot of Age of Empires and Age of Mythology years ago so there’s still a place in my heart for RTS games (if not any time in my diary).

I can’t comment yet on the quality of the game itself — I’m just going by what I have seen online and at the game’s site. In terms of keeping up with what’s going on in the industry, Autumn Dynasty certainly looks worth examining.

It’s priced at $4.99 for the next few days so if you’re thinking about it, get it today (iTunes link).
