Hello Games\u2019 sprawling and critically acclaimed space adventure, No Man\u2019s Sky<\/b>, is coming to iPhone and iPad on 28 October<\/b>, bringing a decade\u2019s worth of updates to Apple\u2019s devices.<\/p>\n
That makes it the standout of Apple\u2019s Indie Games Week<\/b>, which begins today. No Man\u2019s Sky is a sizeable game to bring to a phone, and allows players to explore, trade, fight and survive in a procedurally generated universe, with every major content expansion released so far included. That means the mobile version will also include the recent Cosmos<\/b> update, which lets players command their own space stations.<\/p>\n No Man\u2019s Sky for iPhone \/ iPad.<\/p>\n Image: App Store<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The App Store has no shortage of games, but I thought No Man\u2019s Sky would give the mobile catalogue a particularly ambitious addition. It is not a small spin-off or a new game built around short sessions; it is the space odyssey that has continued to grow since its debut a decade ago, now adapted for iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n During a media briefing, I asked a Sean Murry, managing director and co-founder of Hello Games, what surprised the team about bringing the game to touchscreens. A lot of its gameplay, he said, happens in the menus: managing inventory, building and crafting. He said: \u201cA surprising amount of the actual gameplay is in the UI such as inventory management, building things, taking photographs. A lot of what you do in the game is exploring the world, but many of the gameplay mechanics happen in the UI, particularly in sandbox games, where you\u2019re doing things like complicated crafting.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been really surprised by how much touch brings to that, and how natural it can feel. Being able to drag and drop things on your screen, or touch something to get more information, can feel more intuitive and comfortable than playing on a console, and often even on PC. You\u2019re right there with the screen, and I find myself doing more crafting and other gameplay more easily because that barrier isn\u2019t there.<\/i><\/p>\n Sean Murry, managing director and co-founder, Hello Games<\/p>\n \u201cI love inventory management in games, so I enjoy that meta-game. I\u2019ve been surprised that I find myself doing it more on a phone and iPad,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Sifu for iPhone \/ iPad.<\/p>\n Image: App Store<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Vampire Crawlers for iPhone \/ iPad.<\/p>\n Image: App Store<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Apple is using Indie Games Week to spotlight seven acclaimed games, with daily features and curated collections running throughout the week. The line-up also includes Sifu<\/b>, the martial arts brawler, and Vampire Crawlers<\/b>, a card-battling spin-off of Vampire Survivors. Sifu has been adapted for iPhone and iPad with touch controls and a reworked camera, and supports controllers.<\/p>\n The other games featured are Little Kitty<\/b>, Big City<\/b>, 9 Kings<\/b>, Dome Keeper<\/b> and Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall<\/b>. They are available to download now, while No Man\u2019s Sky arrives later on 28 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hello Games\u2019 sprawling and critically acclaimed space adventure, No Man\u2019s Sky, is coming to iPhone and iPad on 28 October, bringing a decade\u2019s worth of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":92462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,4706,2149,363,1535,563,2401,947],"class_list":["post-92461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-games","tag-indie","tag-ipad","tag-iphone","tag-mans","tag-release","tag-sky","tag-week","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/92462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/div>\n
