Play 10+ hours of intense narrative puzzle-solving, meeting an array of dazzling characters, to ultimately uncover a terrible truth. When orphaned Robert Foster is seized at gunpoint from the peaceful village he calls home and flown a thousand miles to a city he’s never seen, he can only ask himself: why me? Escaping from his abductors into the dark metropolis, he vows to avenge the murder of the only family he’s ever known. This isn’t a game you can jump into for a quick one minute play but if you love games with a strong story, some great visuals and enjoyable puzzle gameplay, then look no further. The transfer to the iPhone platform has been very smooth and makes the game a lot of fun to play. Like the original, the game features one main story mode but players can keep multiple game saves or profiles.īeneath a Steel Sky is one of those gems that will draw in ‘point and click’ adventure fans and leave them with a satisfying experience. The sound is also updated but still sounds a little old school in quality, which fans of the original will enjoy. The visuals look fantastic and the comic cut-scenes have been redone by original artist Dave Gibbons – The Co-creator of Watchmen. Players will also collect and use various items to solve puzzles by dragging them from the inventory onto the environment. Players tap on an object for the ‘inspect’ and ‘interact’ commands to pop up - or the ‘talk’ command if it’s a character. The new control scheme uses the iPhones touch screen interface to interact with objects as you would a mouse. This new port has been vastly improved from the original but maintains the key elements that made it a cult classic. The widely acclaimed 1994 DOS release Beneath a Steel Sky has made its way onto the iPhone. If you were one of those gamers who were patient enough to play ‘point and click’ adventure games over 10 or more floppy discs, then today is your lucky day.
