The touch UI works well, and if you haven’t played a point and click on iOS before, or at least one from Wadjet Eye, I can understand the concern that finding all of the objects in the world could be difficult in such a small screen space. Anyway, you can save your progress anytime with multiple save slots, and the game Autosaves regularly as well. I chose to move in a Hurried fashion given that my play sessions on mobile devices is normally brief and since I had been through this adventure last year on PC. In-game options include enabling subtitles, developer commentary mode (always liked how Wadjet Eye does these tracks), and adjusting Amy’s Walk Speed from Normal to Hurried. It runs beautifully on my iPhone 6S, which is pretty obvious given that it’s an old school style point and click and does not utilize 3D graphics at all. As far as iOS details, Shardlight’s install size is 1.12GB and costs just $5, requiring iOS 8 and higher. So in the last couple of weeks, I have had the pleasure of replaying Shardlight and following Amy’s perilous adventure through a dystopian near future on my iPhone 6s.įor more specifics on the game itself, I would lean on my the two articles I wrote previously instead of rehashing all of that here again. The game is the same, voice-acting, music, puzzles, all of that is intact, with only minor, sensible changes made to the UI given that interaction is done via touch now instead of a mouse pointer. Anyway, as we’ve seen Wadjet Eye do in the past, they have taken their successful adventure games like Gemini Rue, the Blackwell series, and now Shardlight (with Technobabylon, a game I enjoyed even more than Shardlight due out later this year) and ported them to iOS. Unfortunately, one storage array failure later, those articles don’t ‘pop’ as well as they used to with assets gone to the abyss, but, the words themselves hold true. I wrote a preview and a review at the time, with the gist being that Shardlight was a great game. A year ago, Wadjet Eye Games’ point and click adventure Shardlight came out on PC.
