Stretching across a meaty 20 missions, there’s a rich variety of challenges to overcome - from full-on assaults to rescue operations and siege-style enemy invasions. Plus, in true StarCraft-style, you get to experience the story from the differing perspectives of three distinct factions - the gruff space marines of the Consortium, the insectoid Myriad, and the mechanoid Wardens. We’ll admit that the sci-fi trappings of Starfront’s invading aliens plot are hardly the stuff of the Battlestar Galactica reboot, but the generic sci-fi tropes do keep you pushing through the epic campaign. It all feels very natural, and while the basics of the finely-tuned controls are quick to get to grips with there’s still a lot to master over the course of the generous story. There’s a handy mini-map in the corner for keeping track of all your units, and flashing icons will zoom you quickly to areas where battles are raging off-screen. Selecting squads requires you to create boxes around them by sliding two fingertips across the screen and, once gathered, they can easily be assigned individual squad numbers to help you give quick orders later on. Yet after just a couple of missions into Starfront’s brief but beneficial tutorial, it’s clear the publisher has found a system that is both comfortable and responsive.Įverything, from ordering soldiers to upgrading bases, is handled by tapping directly on the unit and then either moving it with another tap or assigning an action using contextual menus at the side of the screen. Keyboard shortcuts and deft mouse clicks are the well worn tools of strategy gamers, so scepticism that they could be replicated on touchscreens is entirely healthy. Where Gameloft’s title most succeeds is in its intuitive controls. Yes, the game is Starcraft 2 by numbers, but - with Blizzard showing no interest in mobile gaming beyond Netbook-friendly graphics options - getting such a full-fat RTS experience on your Android is an astonishing achievement.
