WWDC Featured 'Kroll' Game Arrives [Video Updated]

Monday September 29, 2008 2:08 pm PDT by Arnold Kim


Apple CEO Steve Jobs wowed the crowd during the companys World Wide Developer Conference back in June with demos of various iPhone games that were in development for eventual App Store release. One of the more impressive titles was Digital Legends Kroll.

Kroll appeared in the App Store today as a $7.99 download. Kroll is described as a 3D-rendered side-scrolling fighter divided into three chapters, each of which includes three levels plus a boss battle. The game is controlled by touching six icons arrayed about the edges of the iPhones screen. Said controls consist of left / right movement, left / right quick attacks, and left / right delivery of slower, more powerful attacks.

So there's nine levels? Hopefully this game isn't short and that the levels are long.

Indeed I hope the same. Otherwise I am really happy that it is finally out. I have been waiting patiently and now I buy it.

Someone get it and let us know if its any good. I'm very tired of wasting money on games that look good but end up sucking. I wish more developers would see there is a desire for good in-depth games on the iPhone. Its not just an average cell phone. It could be a whole new handheld gaming device if people developed for it.

i think there are plenty of great looking, great playing games..........the problem is the replayability factor. they look great and play great, for only a short period of time, i.e. less than a month at which point its just money wasted. devs need to take advantage of the iphone's online/networking ability and offer more multiplayer/online type options so we won't get bored so quick. galcon is a great example of a game if it were not for the multiplayer aspect, i think i would have gotten bored with it in less than a couple of weeks.

I think one cause of the hindrance of in-depth app development for the iPhone is the "relatively" low price these apps are selling for. A developer may not wish to invest heavily in a game that will only sell for $10 or less.

Just my 2 cents.

The market seems to be there though. Even for $10 or $15 if they make a good game there are enough people to buy it they'll money.

Hmm as much as I hate saying this and think i (should) volunteer myself, I think i'll wait on this one until good reviews/replay value scores are out.
Not really into the troll type games but the video from toucharcade does look good.

I think the one exception to this are sports based games. I bought Real Soccer 2009 and I've played, no lie, well over 100 games on it and don't plan on stopping until I have all the trophies (400-500 games) so it's has a HUGE replay-ability factor but that's just me. I like to win all the trophies, records and everything else in sports games.

*For conversion sake that's well over 50 hours of entertainment
