🎮 Console-style open world games keep moving to phones, and Saints Row: The Third Remastered, published by Feral Interactive, is a useful case study for anyone interested in mobile game development. It's now available on Android and iOS for $19.99.
📱 Design choices worth noticing
- Touch-first controls: The port ships with customizable on-screen controls, built around touchscreen play instead of a simple overlay.
- Multiple input options: It also supports gamepads and mouse and keyboard, so players aren't locked into touch.
- Online co-op: The full campaign can be played online with a friend.
- Bundled DLC: The DLC is included in the base purchase, which keeps the store listing simple.
Requirements at a glance
- Price: $19.99
- Android: Android 13 or later
- Storage: about 19 GB of free space, and more is safer for the initial install
- Rating: 18+ for mature content
🏙️ How it plays on a real device
