Dungeon Defenders (universal, $2.99) is a recently release game for iPhone and iPad that it’s like a mix between Diablo and the classic Tower Defense; it’s got nice graphics and loot system but apparently gets lost when it comes down to UI (lots of huge buttons on screen) and 3D camera controls. In spite of the flaws of the first version, we should all look forward to the next update. Dropping sometime next year, an updated Dungeon Defenders will bring proper iOS, PC and Android cross-platform online multiplayer.
Several developers tried to follow the road of mobile and desktop cross-platform online battling before, and most of them failed. In the video below, though, you can see the DD developers playing the same game at the same time on an iPad, a PC and two other Android tablets. It all looks smooth and fast. It’s cross-platform multiplayer between the desktop and two different mobile OSes. Pretty intriguing.
We, too, do wonder whether the game’s servers will actually hold up once the update goes live, but right now – it looks perfect. iOS, PC and Android running the same game online? Don’t tell this doesn’t make you excited. At least a bit. [via TouchArcade]
