Geekscape Mobile: ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Hits iOS!

Well, this is unexpected.

We’re just a few weeks away from the release of NetherRealm Studios latest console brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. Yesterday, a playable demo for the game was released, showcasing just a few of the action-packed battles you’ll be able to partake in once the full featured edition hits shelves. Today, the studio released a mobile version.

Injustice: Gods Among Us hit the iOS app store earlier this evening for the wonderful price of $0.00. I had the opportunity to play a few matches, and just like NetherRealm’s last iOS title (Batman: Arkham City Lockdown), Injustice looks great, plays smoothly, and maintains simple, understandable, nigh-perfect controls. The mechanics of the game are also a little different from its console sibling, the mobile edition mixing the classic fighter with a neat card-battling system.

Sure, it’s not the console version, and that’s one of the best things about it. With a few exceptions, direct console ports simply don’t work well on touchscreen devices. NetherRealm knows that, and both of their iOS titles have been excellent, both as standalone and companion games.

Did I mention that it’s free, AND that you can unlock items for the console version? Download Injustice: Gods Among Us on the App Store, and let us know what you think! Not quite sold? Check out an overview of the title, courtesy of IGN!
