Ever since Vivid Games announced Godfire: Rise of Prometheus [$2.99] last year, we’ve been keeping a close eye on its development. For good reason too, as Vivid has a reputation for great games (see Real Boxing) and the thought of them creating a title in the same vein as God of War was an exciting prospect. Now that it’s finally here, it’s safe to say that the wait has been mostly worth it. Visually stunning, Godfire suffers from some gameplay monotony but is otherwise a great action-adventure title.

These days it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to graphics, but Godfire manages to do so relatively easily. Simply put, the game is gorgeous. Character models, backgrounds, enemies — even the cutscenes look great. One thing that Godfire does particularly well is impart a sense of scale with its backdrops. Its use of tiered backdrops to create majestic worlds is a technique hardly seen on iOS titles and harder still to pull off. Yet, Godfire does it easily, successfully emulating such titles as God of War. This is definitely one of those titles to keep on your iPhone 5S or iPad Air to showcase just how beautiful a game can look on iOS. Sure, I encountered some minor slowdown even on these powerful devices, but overall everything ran relatively smoothly.

Price: USD 2.99
