Skulls of the Shogun: Right moves from Microsoft

Posted by Jarvis_ on January 31, 2013 02:39 am 12

The recently released game Skulls of the Shogun has been getting good reviews. Iv played it and while it seems a slightly tough game, it is a very good effort and is a core strategy game which should please hardcore gamers. The icing on the cake is its ability to play across Microsoft devices. For eg. you can play it on your WP (7.5 or 8) and then pick up where you left off on your Xbox or Surface or Win 8 PC. This game does a good job of integrating the entire Windows ecosystem and is a pointer to the future of apps/gaming on Microsoft platforms. The downside is ofcourse you will have to buy the game separately for each platform. Its currently a Windows exclusive. Im guessing Microsoft has given extensive support to enable this startup to develop this game. Finally there is a worthy exclusive game for the Windows platform and for all devices that too. Need more such efforts from Microsoft. If they bring in exclusives like Forza Motorsport, Halo and Gears of War then they will really have a winning strategy on hand. http://www.polygon.com/game/skulls-of-the-shogun/7886 http://skullsoftheshogun.com/skulls-anywhere/
