TouchArcade: Dark Incursion [$1.99] had all the makings of a decent ‘Metroidvania’ title for iOS. Everything from its classically-inspired pixel graphics and music to even its overarching story created a compelling atmosphere for playing. Most importantly, Dark Incursion also did a good job of somewhat emulating the Metroidvania style of gameplay while attempting to improve upon it with its different take on equipment upgrades. However, despite all these positives, Dark Incursion’s horrendous control scheme simply ruins almost all of the fun.
AppGamer: Dark Incursion is set in a late 1800’s alternate reality. The protagonist is a woman called Anya, whose mission it is to stop a secret military corporation from developing and unleashing its biological weaponry across the globe.
Dark Incursion today was launched on Android after great success on iOS devices. The game is a side scrolling "Metroidvania" style game.
Pocket Gamer: Metroid seems like a perfect fit for the mobile. Who wouldn't want to delve into an elaborate alien labyrinth on the go? Maybe do a little item-hunting on the bus. Or backtrack your steps while a man who smells faintly of urine hums the theme to Mission Impossible on the last tube home?
