- TOUCHARCADE REVIEW (****): "It's pretty rare to see an iOS strategy game that not only has a captivating story, sound gameplay mechanics, and challenging difficulty, but also manages to accomplish all this while not being a tower defense derivative. Companions manages to achieve all this and more, and leads to a great experience for those iPad owners looking to try out a real strategy game." - GAMERS TEMPLE (96%): Companions drags together the best of bigger console titles (story, character, length) and the best of the handheld world (touch-screen controls, single iPad multiplayer) into one cohesive, extremely fun game. No joke: If you don't like the game after level 1 or 2, you probably just hate fun games. Download this one soon. - iPHONE LIFE: "Companions makes good use of the iPad to give complete command over any melee situation, has a detailed storyline, and plenty of challenges to keep oneself immersed for hours!" - FEATURES: - PLAY the huge campaign with 10+ hours playtime - PLAY again with different party combinations - ENDLESS replay value (random drops, random enemies) - PLAY with 3 different classes for each race: - Minotaur: Berserker, Gladiator, Bull - Elf: Assassin, Ranger, Archer - Dwarf: Miner, Draftsman, Engineer - Human: Light, Matter, Void - IMMERSE yourself into the deep story line - ENJOY the 40+ skills - BUILD bombard, crossbow and scythe towers - LAY spike traps, stone traps and decoy bombs - GATHER 100+ items - GAIN 30+ unique items - FIGHT brutal boss mobs - SURVIVE gigantic battles - USE the tactical pause (20 or 60 seconds) - LISTEN to philosophical pest zombies - DEFEAT the really BIG DRAGON RAARTAARK - LOOK upon the great artwork - CHOOSE from 3 difficulty settings - CONNECT to GameCenter - GET 41 achievements - SCORE on the 4 single maps with leaderboards - AUTO and MANUAL save - YOU ARE IN CONTROL!
