Ender's Game Coming to Consoles


This is fairly old news, but I was very exited the last time this info surfaced. Now it's official, but I'm cautiously optimistic. The developer is Chair Entertainment, who created Undertow. The game was a technical achievement but, even after it became free, I still found it to be nearly unplayable. Maybe I just didn't "get it," but despite all of my AI companions, I always felt like I was fighting hordes of enemies on my own which lead to overwhelming frustration.

Ender's Game the game will focus on the Battle Room, which is both exciting and perplexing. While it is easy to imagine a game based on the rules provided for the Battle Room, Ender's success was directly related on how he was able to bend these rules in order to combat seemingly insurmountable odds. If every match begins with someone rushing for the enemy's gate before the other team knows what is going on, there will be some very disappointed fans and gamers. I guess we'll just have to wait for more information regarding the game play in this upcoming Ender adventure. In the mean time, I'll be recruiting for Dragon Army!
