With all the hype and buzz surrounding the recent launch and release of Assassin’s Creed Revelations – this one almost slipped right under our radar. Almost.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this was a bundle of all the previous Assassin’s Creed games, but it’s not.
Assassin’s Creed Recollections is an iPad game based on the franchise that promises an 8 – 10 hour campaign, taking you from Barcelona to Constantinople. Here’s the catch though: it’s a card game. Sort of. Mostly. I think…
It has cards.
Ubisoft describe the game as a “real-time board game” that allows you to conduct political battles – featuring characters and locations from Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood. You can also collect artwork from the games to, uh, view, I suppose?
To simplify the game to an understandable level – it’s a real-time strategy game where you essentially use your cards to gain different territories. Every card has different values and effects which are more or less effective against your opponent’s moves.
From what we’ve read up about it, it’s a pretty complex game that will take a bit to get into – but will be rewarding once things start piecing together.
If you’ve got a US iTunes account (why wouldn’t you, by now?), Assassin’s Creed Recollection is available now.
Hmmm…*clicks buy*
Check out the launch trailer below for a more visual idea of what to expect.
