Massively.com (http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/07/17/rise-and-shiny-recap-star-legends-the-blackstar-chronicles/) writer Beau Hindman offers his first take of Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles. Here's a clip:


The real difference for me came from the barrage of lasers that might be typical in a sci-fi game. It is glorious to get into a fire fight and have your tiny smartphone speakers straining against all of the noise. In a weird way, fighting in the metal corridors of Star Legends reminded me so much of those famous laser battles in Star Wars -- all that was missing was a rope swing across a metallic ravine. Star Legends definitely feels sci-fi. There are robots, aliens and cool space-armor. There is even one NPC who randomly wanders around the Blackstar -- the home base for everyone -- wearing a bubble-topped suit. The design is cute but not silly; definitely cartoony but not goofy. The graphics are actually rather impressive when you realize they come only in mobile version.

Very good write-up by Beau, business as usual! Agree has a retro-SW feel to it. Awesome graphics too!

That interview on FB link goes directly to the page, but the one about Massively goes here, then we gotta open the link at the bottom of the post for the Massively page. Probably a little late, but might have been better to link directly from FB to Massively.

Just saying. Still thanks for posting these mister Sam. *goes to read*

By the way, looks like they got bought out by Joystiq. Probably old news and I'm just slow.
