Glu announced the global launch of Transformers G1: Awakening, a mobile strategy game based on the popular entertainment franchise Transformers. Transformers G1: Awakening follows their 2007 mobile game.
"The Glu team has put a lot of hard work into developing and publishing a second TRANSFORMERS game on the heels of the 2007 game's global success," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu. "TRANSFORMERS G1: AWAKENING features completely different gameplay from the first game. Players participate in explosive turn-based strategic battles that include characters and elements from the original storyline, appealing to loyal fans while also bringing the classic series to new fans in a fun and challenging way."
Transformers G1: Awakening takes players back to the franchise's roots and includes the characters, storyline and classic visuals from the original Generation 1 series we all know. Players use the Autobot's strengths to defeat the Decepticons in turn-based battles derived from the original TV series.
"The team at Glu has demonstrated its ability to develop and publish a successful game with the first TRANSFORMERS game on the mobile platform," said Mark Blecher, vice president of digital media and gaming, Hasbro. "We're excited to give fans of the TRANSFORMERS franchise an opportunity to reconnect with the original storyline and characters in this new mobile game."
This game really deserves a 10/10, five star rating. Honest, guv!
