A Gaming Diary
Underworlds Lite (iPhone)
A Diablo-like with a sensible, though not perfect, interface. It seems to work well, actually, and I thoroughly enjoyed my brief time with it. (Well, except when it crashed the first time I tried to enter a room in the crypt.)
You’ve got a virtual pad for moving, or you can click on the screen to move your chap. To target friends and enemies, you can either click on them directly, or just click the Target button to start attacking/talking to the nearest monster/person of interest. Likewise, you can click on dropped loot to pick it up or just click the Loot button, which hoovers up everything nearby. There’s lots of equipment to find, skills to learn, everything you’d expect.
As it’s only 59p right now I may well pick it up – even though it sends you into the cellar of a pub to kill rats within two minutes of the game starting. I know it’s a knowing wink from the developers – with a twist, of sorts, even – but even so.
