You probably should have heeded the rock that started whispering to Rostandos last season.
When I am inevitably banished to desert island for making one-too-many pun headlines, one of the things I will take with me will be King of Dragon Pass. This island has got USB plugs, right?
The App Store has enjoyed a long period of exclusivity with David Dunham’s unique fantasy game, which splices together interactive fiction and empire-building in wildly ambitious way a that no one has had the stones to replicate since the game first came out on PC in 1999. But soon there will be a whole new audience that will have a chance to see it for themselves.
Next week, Androiders will be able to settle their clans in Dragon Pass for the first time: KoDP is launching on the platform this Tuesday, 12 August for $9.99. Soon you will know many things about running a fantasy Iron Age society, Android folks. You will know never to trust dragonkin. You will learn just how far you can push the tribes of duck-men. You will learn that I’m not kidding about either of those things, because King of Dragon Pass is gloriously weird and unforgettably brilliant.
It’s hard to overstate how good this news is. Android has been improving as a platform for gaming over the past couple of years, but there’s still some huge gaps in its catalog compared to iOS. King of Dragon Pass will arguably be the single best game available for Google’s ecosystem come next week.
The port to Android is being handled by Russian devs Herocraft, whose track record ranges from “good” to “please shoot me” but the technical quality of their apps has never been in question. There’s a new trailer for game after the jump.
