Yeah I'm with ya. All I've been looking forward too since it was annouced. Hopefully it will be out before WoM beta.

. Another new aspect of Star Legends will be puzzles that involve multiple players to solve. There are also areas that may be inaccessable without certain evels or classes; such as a console that can’t be hacked by a soldier unless they reach a high level, but that an engineer can easily bypass

this is the type of thing i suggested for pl awsome guys

[Ayc2000]

that is really cool, the design is nice, and the weapons and mobs look amazing. I can't wait, hope it comes out earlier though

It looks like it may not work for 2nd generation devices. Does anyone know what generation devices will work for blackstar?

No confirmation on specs so far. Star Legends: B* Cheonicles does look awesome so yup might need more juice. That said, devs want their games playable across as many devices as possible and they might be able to pull it off?

MASSIVELY Update:

- x20 levels at launch
- x1 month away from launch:

Spacetime is targeting the end of June or the beginning of July for beta. It will have two promotions for beta, one with Verizon and one with Android. Following the beta comes launch on all of the platforms including iOS.

Spacetime isn't content with just this pair of MMOs; it has announced that it has at least two more in the works, with one of those slated for release later this year. "We're looking at something with a darker theme, like Dark Legends with vampires or something like that," Blanco said. "And then these guys have been wanting to do a Western theme for a while. Something dirty and dusty."

Now thats what Im talking about, Western themed MobiMMO done by the real cowboys in Texas not some Hollywood dreamer. Ya can sure bet the ranch thats gonna be good.

but back to the massively article;
We came across a treasure chest -- ooh, goodies! -- when we were ambushed by aliens bursting out of pods surrounding it. Death comes when you least expect it in this game. Another welcome change from Pocket Legends is that treasure chests contain a lot more items instead of just money, so players can and will be gearing up within the instances themselves. Loot will be distributed via a random roll so players don't have to fight over it.

COME ON, you me and everyone on the forum knows 'shoot the pods first' then open the treasure chest, nothing worse than green slime in ya nice shiny loot.
UCDF Advanced Recon Motto - Fizzle, Frag, Flame, and then Flame again just in case.

Taking place some four thousand years in the future, The Blackstar Chronicles is said to be very story-driven. In this time, humans are rather science-focused, and have discovered "fast gates," - these are really just abandoned wormholes which take you to different areas in space. As with many other titles with this type of theme, it's inevitable that you will find yourself going up against a hostile alien species. The Scorn race, unlike humans, are actually magic-based, and described by the developer as "intergalactic a-holes." You'll stumble upon other interesting races, not the least of which are the bug-like Vular.

Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles will start off with four different campaigns and twenty levels so there will be plenty to do in the game. The game will also include a PvP (players vs. player) mode and an auction house for items. If you're more of a co-operative player, you can have up to five people total in your party. So far three different classes will be available to choose from: tanks, DPS, and mages, and you can choose male or female for any of these. While we did not get an in-depth look at any of the three, one interesting tidbit is that some areas in the game are only available to certain classes - something to take note of when you form your parties, but also something that might add to the game's replay value.

Small mention in Massively's MMObility:

One thing that surprised me was the presence of so many portable devices. Spacetime Studios was there to show off its truly portable Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles. Imagine Pocket Legends set in space but with a more straightforward experience. The console developers all had some version of a portable device, but MMOs simply do not mix with console companies, at least most of the time. It's a real shame, too, considering how fantastic some of those portable machines will be.

& Pocket Gamer mentions Star Legends additional to potential Top 10 ""mobile games"" at E3:

Some other noteworthy games (the fact that these are out of the top ten doesn't imply that they're worse than the games above. I just didn't play these as much):
