    Deep enough to appeal to hardcore RTS fans, but also approachable to newcomers.

    Although Starfront is nothing new in terms of gameplay, it's certainly the best RTS the iPhone has ever seen and takes the strategy genre to a new height.

    Starfront Collision is clearly a StarCraft clone, but considering its context this is a strong value. Copying Blizzard, Gameloft succeeded in creating the best classic RTS currently available for iOS systems in the App Store.

    The best portable real-time strategy game ever made - even if most of the credit belongs to Blizzard not Gameloft.

Very little of it is what I would call original. But what it delivers is a fine RTS experience on mobile. It handles about as well as a game of this genre ever could on a touchscreen. The three factions present varied scenarios in the singleplayer mode and certainly is fun for a fan of the genre.… Expand
